George is alive and well!

[marko_the_rat]

Because some of you people seemed not to scroll down to the text where I assured everyone I was only joking, I thought I should post a photo that proves George is doing just fine, after some intensive water treatment and being moved to a shady spot. (I still don't want George indoors, because even though I like him and everything I'm not ready to move our relationship to the next level. George understands. He says he can wait.)





The desk calendar says July 30-31, which you can just make out in the inset if you squint. Ristin is in shot so you know it's our plant I'm photographing. Of course, it's possible to forge that sort of thing, but I would remind my readers of Occam's razor.

Actually, those are the exact same plants that I help my mother water at the office building she works at ... when I'm over there, that is!

Cool collar, Ristin!

Thanks, I love my collar...it's hard to wash under it though...

George is very well alive indeed!

[nicodemusrat.livejournal.com]

Looks like he's fine. Is that a picture of you, Marko? (I've never seen you iRL, you see.)

[marko-the-rat.livejournal.com]

Aargh! Doesn't anyone read the text under the photos!? That's Ristin. I only post photos of myself in my TMI filter because I think the rest of me looks ugly.

[nicodemusrat.livejournal.com]

How'd I miss that? Oops. Must not've been awake.

*(sheesh!)* Hey, if the metal collar isn't enough of a clue that it's me, how about the fact I am the only raccoon down here?...

*wags tail in glee* yeah I have another Ristin pic, I love the collar too, it seems to fit a bit better than the leather one I tried on while in Montreal. Is it all leather?

As for the plant I have a plant here but have not watered it for a while, not only that but this condo I am in kinda sucks when it comes to natural light since only a few small places exist that let natural light in and it is too cramped to give my plant the light it deserves. And that plant looks happy and green so I would just leave it where it is.

I guess it doesn't show up too well in the picture...maybe that's why people are confused. That's the ol' metal collar of mine...

[kendermouse.livejournal.com]

well, Marko... i'd say BOTH your charges look happy and healthy. ::grin::

And George looks like he's happy where he is... but i'd take Ristin back inside before he wilts. ::giggle:: LOVE the collar... VERY pretty!

peace and hugs,

no flowers yet?..I cant remember what part of the year those things are meant to flower at but they are unusual.Look a bit like tiny desklamps.:)

[marko-the-rat.livejournal.com]

It did have one but it gave up the ghost. It looks like it's budding a new one, though.

It took a little re-reading to work out there's emphasis on "our houseplant".. I was first trying to work out why a photo with the 'coon would prove it wasn't him you were intending to be central. ^_^

Of course, now I'm going to have to read further back in time to discover the origins of this saga..

[darth-phylos.livejournal.com]

I might believe it was the same plant if it was in the same pot...

[darth-phylos.livejournal.com]

I laugh at your T-shirt as well, because it is so hypocritical - sorry, Ristin, but it is...

[ristin.livejournal.com]

Don't you see, the hypocrisy is the point. Making people see it is the point. First they think "that's hypocrisy" then (with luck) they realize the hypocrisy in their own actions...which is what I am trying to 'illuminate'.

[marko-the-rat.livejournal.com]

I was about to take you to task for thinking that Ristin isn't a freak--he's almost as big a freak as I am, but apparently I misinterpreted this post. Just because we keep our strangeness on the inside doesn't change what we are. jagafeh's even blamed me for the downfall of furry fandom. Whoa! Bad karma!

[marko-the-rat.livejournal.com]

Arrgh! The last photo was a JOKE PHOTO! I pulled it off the internet. It has nothing to do with George. George is just fine. *rushes out back to peek to make sure* Yep, nothing wrong there...
