As many may know, SBS and Colleenz organized a community donation to the Snow Leopard Conservancy (in my name) for my birthday. After clutching my gut with pain, staggering to the toilet, and dry heaving for the better part of an hour, I realized what I would have to do is forward all of the snow leopard memorabilia the SLC shipped out to me to my neighbour, Cyril. Cyril thinks snow leopards are "cool" and claims their cubs are ridiculously adorable. I suspect mental problems, but he's a nice enough fellow. As planned, when I received the package from the SLC today, I gave it to Cyril (while wearing a pair of thick gloves lest I be contaminated otherwise). Inside was apparently a whole bunch of info about snow leopards, some SLC merch, and an 8.5x11" glossy photo of the snow leopard cub, "Shen", that he's "adopted". He was all excited about the gift and rambling on about how cute the cub was. His wife and sister were too. Anyway, against my better judgment, I bowed to his insistence that I post the photo of Shen and thank SBS, Colleenz, and all other contributors on his behalf. Cyril was truly touched by your gift. As for me... I think... the ol' stomach... is going to act up again. Yup. *urp* *hurrrrk*

And we're so glad you Cyril appreciates the contributions made so you Cyril could adopt the beatiful creature. We know you really love him - the cat that is, not Cyril

Ha! Way to start with the tinfoil conspiracies, Ms. Lassie. Maybe I'm also Rovo in disguise. Or maybe I'm actually every user on this board except for you and Moon. Let's keep EE tinfoil free, shall we? You people are so naive sometimes.

Ugh. The thought of it sickens me. But in case you wanted a desktop-sized version of the image (1280x1024): (Right click and choose 'View Image'.)

Do big paws mean the same thing as big feet?

Dang, look at the paws on that cat! In a few months, when he grows into those, Virgil will be putty catnip in his claws.

I think Virgil's over-exaggerated displays of loathing is just his macho way of hiding his true affection (and now dedication) to the beautiful cats ;D

One lady I play golf with has a snow leopard club cover. I cannot even escape ewes guys on the golf course. ------

I've never seen(read) anybody make so many excuses to talk about, and look at beautiful Snow Leopards as much as our Virgil. He sincerely loves them and wants one for his very own. I love Virgil even more, knowing that!

I think Virgil and Cyril are starting to bond.
And I don't mean that Cyril is starting to nibble on Virgil either.
