Gamer's Movie, Who Wants $10K? ... a Bunny! and damn Israel

[tcpip]

This Sunday evening sensible people in Melbourne will be attending the most fabulous Gamers movie; 7pm at The Spanish Club. Check out the distrubing The Beef Jerky Scene, The Comforter of Shame and the classic children's song... I Love Dick. There's even a possibility that the director will be attending our Sunday afternoon AD&D Norman Britian and GURPS Australian Noir games prior to the screening.

Speaking of movies Prosper Australia wants to do a documentary on the effects of taxation rather than site rental for public financing. We're looking at putting up $10 000 to a young aspiring director (uni students should like this one). (Feel free to share this news around).

To go along with our rats, we now have a bunny!. It's named Astaroth, a delightfully inappropriate name for such a harmless creature and partially in reference to a famous 1991 study of usenet groups which should alt.devilbunnies to be the exact median group in popularity.

Why peaceniks hate Israel (especially Jewish peaceniks who live in Israel); a couple of military hostages are taken and the response? Kill dozens of civilians.

EDIT: OK, I'm struck by an animal weirdness magnet

On the way to gaming tonight caseopaya spotted a baby ringtail possum which we promptly rescued from a stalking cat and brought home after designing characters for our next mini-campaign, In Nomine. After feeding the possum, I walked into the bathroom to discover the rats had managed to sneak in - and had rather conclusively killed the rabbit.

EDIT 2

Possum successfully delivered to Lort Smith; they'll take care of it and pass it on to a sanctuary. We decided to engage in a second summong whilst visiting a pet store in town; the new Astaroth!. This one is staying behind a firmly closed door in the bedroom; unless the rats have the ability to teleport (which I wouldn't put past them) this li'll fella should reach a riper age!

Oh man. Gotta see that movie.

Are you okay with looking after baby ringtails? Unsweetened apple juice and body heat, and toilet them as well, apparently.

And keep them away from the rats, I guess. :-/

OMG! I hope caseopaya's not too upset about that... I guess the rats just couldn't handle the competition :P.

Ouch. I didn't think domesticated rats did that sort of thing.

/me reminds self not to rent Willard for a little while.

Whoa. Your guys are so placid. They killed the rabbit? I'm sorry. How unexpected.

They killed the rabbit?! I'm quite surprised and puzzled.
