Hmm. Those are kinda cute, I guess. In a creepy, cold-blooded way, of course.

Those eyes. That adorable snout :-)

[amberdine.livejournal.com]

Yes, completely adorable!

And smiling!!

These are adorable!

Amusingly (and unrelatedly), I discovered that the gent you spoke with on the phone about something online-y two days ago is someone I've known for darned near a decade-and-a-half, over pints this evening with him.

Tiny, tiny world.

They are cute. So are those chirping noises they make at the age.

I once saw this fascinating segment about this guy who had gotten a crocodile when it was just a little baby like this. He ended up keeping it as it grew into a full-size adult. Despite their reputation as a fearsome predator, it seemed to regard him as its parent and was gentle towards him, which I didn't think was possible with such an animal as crocodile.

HA! Scary-cute, but very cute!

(...perfect for slipping into the shoes of your foes...)

Those little guys look just like the crocs in "Pearls Before Swine." Can you say "zeeba neighba"?

What's "Pearls Before Swine?"

[inf-matrix.livejournal.com]

It's a comic strip.

Here, this will explain everything:

This will explain too mcuh:

You can read it here:

But, being a card-carrying New Yorker, you might not read comics.

He's on lj, as well.

Oh my. :-)

Much-delayed response

Nope: Paul McEnery had just been talking with me about talking with you, when I commented earlier.

Ahhh.

[ellen-datlow.livejournal.com]

I've known him at least that long too.

[inf-matrix.livejournal.com]

LOL! Didn't mean to assault your sensibilities.

[ellen-datlow.livejournal.com]

I can stand it.


I like your icon.
Btw, just looked at the Locus weekend schedule--it looks busy and fun!

[inf-matrix.livejournal.com]

We will have a good time.

The icon is an antique doll whose wig has slipped up. Seemed apt.

E.

[ellen-datlow.livejournal.com]

She looks angelic.
Btw, I received what you mailed me.

[inf-matrix.livejournal.com]

Good!
