I forgot to mention this.
I know some of you are genuinely distraught *cough* over the death of Steve Irwin and you paraded your grief to the whole world by putting a turtle beside your msn nick. but please la, to the greater majority of you, it's damn lame, ok?
If you're doing it because everyone else on your msn list is doing it
If you're doing it because you don't want to be left out
If you're doing it because it means you'd look cool and seem in touch with what's going on...
don't.
Because chances are..you're just making a fool of yourself.
And what part of a turtle resembles a sting ray apart from having eyes?
1. Oh..you know..he works with reptiles and a tortoise is a reptile.
2. A tortoise is aquatic and so is a sting ray.
3. He had the oldest Galapagos Island Tortoise in his zoo...Harriet...which died not too long ago. So it seems like a befitting tribute.
#1: ..uh-huh..but what has it got to do with his DEATH?
#2: Tortoises aren't aquatic.
#3: I made this up. And it's the most plausible one. Losers.
I can't help but roll my eyes whenever someone signs in on msn..and this little box pops up at the lower right hand corner..and there's this little green turtle at the front/back/middle.
damn annoying.
i'm pretty sure that most of you...before his death...would've downloaded and watched parodies of him from youtube or something. and now that he's gone...everyone's crying foul and eating sting-rays.
...not on purpose anyway.
Stop persecuting sting-rays!

ahahahahahah! u darn funny laaa...
when people ask me, why a turtle (because i'm guilty of having one as my personal message for abt a week too), i tell them it's coz the turtle is the only reptile in the emoticons.
mel mel, why would we put a pic of a stingray (his murderer) if it's to pay tribute to him?
anyway, i loved the lad. beats jeff corway anytime!
ok..that's a very valid reason. and i'm sure you genuinely felt sorry for his family as i have did.
but some people out there are just doing it because they think it's fun.. and that really riles me up because it sorta turns his death into something like a joke.
and what riles me MORE is that people are labelling that stingray as a murderer...but in fact, they forget that it was accidental..the ray did what its reflex dictated when someone or something came too close and intruded into its space. it's nature. it's biology.
and everytime i see someone with a turtle and a message saying they're eating a ray for steve..i feeling like beating them up.
waahahahahah! :)
by all means, if u ever beat any of them up, make sure u give them a 2nd punch...for me lah...hehehe
excuse me....i am not a sheep la! I have a (tu) on my msn name, and it is not because others do. As an aussie i feel the pain and grief the country is going through.
good for you then, James.
it's the others i was referring to. those who are, possibly, gorging themselves on ikan pari bakar now. ask waiking to explain.
you knew it was me la...i think i know why ahha.
Nah, i was only stirin ya. But what i said i strue nonetheless. When are we going to go drink ar?
i find it subtly amusing and sort of perplexing at the same time.
you're asking me to chill yet you highlight some words in CAPS and enquiring about the contents of my orifice.
right..
i'd reconsider, if i were you.
