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 [livejournal.com profile] 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!

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

[livejournal.com profile] caseopaya is very upset. :(

I rather suspect the rats were thinking "Oh, more food?"

*hugs* I'm sorry... are you going to try getting another bunny? Maybe the thing to do would be to get an older bunny that could defend itself...

See edited post; new bunny. It's even smaller but in a more secure room.

I'm just glad I wasn't the one to find it.... Only holding the little ring tail possum kept me somewhat more sane. Poor bunny didn't get much chance at a life :( We're taking extreme care of the new one. I just wish I didn't have to go to work and could play with the rabbit instead.
