I suppose I should...

[KiaKat]

EW!

Al! Don't make me take the whip out!

*hands him pants*

Put those on now, or at least restrain the naughty bits somehow!

Ew ew ew ew ew. I get enough free views from my neighbours. I don't need it on the forums too.

[greyloch]

er... uhm... pounce? Anything after Al's pounce and visions of him doing the Lambada is kinda anti-climatic.

Welcome to the board. We don't bite... much ... or hard... unless you ask really nice.

[KiaKat]

I bite, but only when provoked.

Usually I just poke people a lot. And whip them. I was given this really pretty cat-o-nine-tails the other day.

*holds up really big whip*

See? Pretty.

[asianmommy]

i bite. sometimes without being asked or provoked.

usually just for fun.

::bites al::

*pounces da newbie!* More fun to wait 'til there are more people in the pile

KiaKat, so what does it take to provoke you??

[sableagle]

So, Plunder, are you gay yet?

[KiaKat]

Being in my general vicinity when I'm in a biting mood and craving a smoke. Or annoying me, though I'm more likely to set my temper off its leash at that point... And that's not pretty.

Not having had a cig in a while, that means most of the time these days. The kitties usually get the majority of the initial bites, but then I realize I have fur in my mouth and move on to the boyfriend/pseudo-fiancee (think In The Puddle, pre-proposal. We'll get around to it, just haven't bothered yet.)

So we need to find you two a handy pirate ship?? I can just see your fiancee tossing kittens at you while backing away

Welcome to the monkey house, Neil.

[Neilathak]

Monkey house is right.
I like monkeys though, they're pretty cool.

So that's a fetlock, huh... what does that translate to on a human? Wrists or ankles? I like to think I have nice wrists and/or ankles.

As for whips... yes! Everyone loves a good whip.
I'm trying to make one RIGHT NOW in fact.

[KiaKat]

The fetlocks actually translate to the wrist on the forelegs, and a cross between the toe joints and the ankle on the hind legs.

I rode horses for years as a kid/teenager. But my sister is severely allergic, and even being in the car after I had been picked up would set her off. So I had to stop riding.

When I move back out to New Hampshire, I'll probably start again.

I think that's the ball of the foot.





Note V: Patella on horse and patella on human. Compare 38 and 39 to tibia and fibula, 40-43 and W to the malleoli, tarsus and calcaneum.

The Fetlock appears to be the end of the metatarsals, before the phalanxes (all fused into single bones in the horse).

[Neilathak]

Hmmm... Comparing human bone structure to horse bone structure is hard, but I have to agree that the fetlock looks like it would be both the wrist joint and ball of one's foot.

[KiaKat]

Sable is right, actually. The fetlock is the toe joint. Horses (and most four-legged animals) walk on their toes. *headdesk*

I've said it before, I'll say it again, I'm not a bio person. Anatomy is the only class I nearly failed.

Anyone have change of a fifty (and a tissue??)
