I'm not always so good with faces

So all I really recall of those people who were not feeding Finn or taking care of him is a general impression of yelling.

This is very awkward, as I never know when the next neighbor I don't recognize is really them.

So today I'm walking the dogs, and two people carrying a fluffy pomeranian are staring at me. Is that them? Who the hell knows, but it can't be, right? Last time they bumped into any of us, they screamed their stupid heads off!

All the same, when I got home I asked Eva if she could provide a physical description. "Well, there's an annoying little girl who's a jerk, and an annoying boy who's an ass- a butthole, and...."

Not helpful, Eva!

"Also, they recently got a new dog, a pomperanian...."

GOD DAMN IT!

I better dig out those adoption papers just in case.

God, I wish they'd just move already, to some place that doesn't allow pets.

Most male fish don't have specialized fins for use when chasing around the females! Mollies and guppies do!

Specialized... fins?

[archangelbeth]

Fins! The anal fin (at the base of the tail, anyway), in male guppies & mollies, is modified into a grooved or tube-like transferral “device” for sperm. They constantly chase the female fish around & when they get close, swing their specialized fin forward, and I guess they squirt the wigglies directly at the female fish’s genital opening. I don’t think they achieve penetration.

The female fish are all “stop trying to entice me with your enlarged tail-fins & let me swim around hoping for brine shrimp.” They never seem impressed.

...let’s hope this email reply works right.
