Craig said "I can't believe you even had to finish reading it to get your camera." It does look like UNfested, though. There is an extra line.<BR/><BR/>Minx: My guess is that the can attracts the ferret into biting it instead of people or other animals. Either that, or they've packaged the actual bites of many ferrets, and the guy can unleash them on the unsuspecting without having to wake his charges from their slumber.<BR/><BR/>Zinnia: I cannot claim credit for "embiggen." It was a fake word used on an episode of "The Simpsons." I always really liked it, too, though, and I tend to use it whenever I post pics on this here blog.<BR/><BR/>AbVan: Yup, this is a 10,000-word post. <BR/><BR/>Liz: That's the nicest comment I could imagine for these pictures: that they reminded another Chicagoan of Chicago. Thank you for that.<BR/><BR/>SilverN: Possibly weirder, the duffel bag o'ferrets was actually on a table at an outdoor cafe.<BR/><BR/>Scarlett, CS, me: Thankya.<BR/><BR/>Anna: I like the boat one as well. The magical light just before dusk sure helped me out with that one.<BR/><BR/>Shameless: I completely forgot. Will try to get my votes in before the deadline today.<BR/><BR/>Mike: I'll check it out. Thanks.<BR/><BR/>Sundry: Thanks. I always love your images as well.The Moon Toppleshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12717446064777879248noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33218373.post-68538905264827956602007-07-10T11:15:00.000-05:002007-07-10T11:15:00.000-05:00Yep, I like embiggen too.
