For me, it's the Pied Butcherbird because I would always hear their song growing up so they remind me of home.

Yes he has very feminine and delicate feet and he like getting tickled

possum round and possum sweet
pour-some wine while we eat
little downy rascal friend
up clambering in my roof again
*tap* *tap* *rustle*, *clatter*, *creak*
tap feet that swift and paws that meek
that tap the floor and make it squeak
nature's staccato, what a treat!
possum round and possum sweet
pour-some wine while we eat

Most of the time whether a disagreement devolves into an argument or not is solely due to your decorum as a discussant. If you are conciliatory and probing instead of belligerent and combative, people tend to be respond in good faith. The best way is to present your own position as a question or with some degree of uncertainty, which invites the opposing party to engage with the point without triggering an obstinate fight-or-flight response which is so common in online discourse. Even the icy heart of the most cynical master-debater will melt before the olive-branch of a peaceable out-stretched hand. Benignus Aude—have the courage to be kind!

Insults serve as compliments if it comes from someone you disdain.

homosexuality is propaganda by the way

So this is the power of Waldun. First and foremost, I wish to apologize about my constant "SHUT THE FUCK UP(s)!" in the preeminent countdown threads of his up-and-coming memoirs; truly remarkable.

Anon, everyone has the same course to run, which is neither too long nor too difficult; whoever finishes it finds his reward in the end, and it matters not who gets there first. So don't worry about where you stand right now, focus on where you're going instead.

The unfit go to Room 6A in a large schoolhouse which is entered from outside. They go up five or six flights into a fairly long, well-constructed and well-ventilated hallway, which is lined with rooms to the left and right. It is brightly lit, and the rooms are numbered. The ducks are told that they are to be cleaned and fed for the night. They must therefore completely undress to be bathed. To avoid panic and to prevent disturbances of any kind, they are instructed to choose a meal from a false menu, which they will receive after their bath. Everything proceeds in a perfectly orderly fashion. Then they pass through a small corridor and enter a large room which resembles a classroom. In this room are three strict nuns, into whose hands the ducks are placed. When three- to four-hundred ducks have been herded into this room, the doors are shut, and nuns order the ducks onto a set of scales. As soon as the ducks touch the scales, they are weighed to see if they are too heavy. A few minutes later, the door opens on the other side, where the headmistress is located. The snacks of the ducks is cut off, and their exercise routine is determined by specialists (Ducks). It has been discovered that ducks were hiding weight through fastened balloons. Then the ducks are ordered into lines and marched up to the gym, where ten large treadmills are located. (Because heavy ducks burn fat particularly well, only 50-100 days of training are needed for the whole process.) The job itself is performed by very heavy ducks, who never step outside this gym again.
