...okay, this may seem kind of self centred to actually post a topic about my own avatar, but seriously, can you not tell what it is? I keep getting people asking me if it's a whale or a gopher and Isune only knows what else. And for you all I have only one question. "Have you people never seen a badger before? Seriously? tongue.gif"

I've seen badgers, one of my best friends is a badger, thats sir is no badger.
Shamarah2004-10-27 20:38:23
It's a whale. Those are FINS.

Dude, it's a badger hand puppet! It's got a muzzle and a big stripe on its head and all! 0_o Do badgers look different in America, like squirrels, or what?

I thought it was a skunk, but thats just me
Olan2004-10-27 21:06:50
I totally thought it was a skunk.
Shiri2004-10-27 21:12:24
Well okay, a skunk I can forgive, seein' as it's all the right colours and so on. Aren't skunks coloured all the way over though? Also no tail, but I can see why you couldn't tell that from the photo's perspective.

Reminded me of Pepe Le Pew (hmm is that right?) from the Looney Tunes, might be because my little brother insists on constantly the new film and Space Jam blink.gif

Actually, I've never seen a badger in my life. But then, some people haven't seen a wombat, so I feel privileged.

And that hand puppet could so be a breaching whale!

That is obviously a pair of fluffy slippers. Why are you people trying to convince us they're anything but?

Looked like a stuffed snake to me. Hmm, Taint must have gotten it and morphed it into some snakebadgerskunkwhale.

...for a second there I panicked and thought you might be right, but no, feet don't fit in there, it's still a handpuppet. See, the thumb goes in the left arm, the three fingers go in the head, and the li'l finger goes in the right arm. My toes refused to spread out that far.

Skunk roadkill. Mmm, chewy.
Unknown2004-10-28 13:56:13
I'm with the Skunk crowd on this one.

Let's clarify. Go to:

and watch the introductory movie. I love it.

Oh come on Shir, we all KNOW that that's a baby slipper. It's undeniable. Badger baby slipper.

Man, I don't want to see your feet if it would fit into that thing tongue.gif At least you recognised it as a badger though. Sheesh.

Ever heard of a killer whale? Doesn't it have a stripe down its back like Free Willy?

His badger, this badger (they look alike, I just doubt most of us have seen a badger):




This was purely for my own amusement. Look at those teeth.

Ouch, that's one nasty lookin' badger. And Silvanus, yeah, but see, orcas have...*think* dorsal (not sure) fins on their backs, whereas badgers (and thus the hand puppet) don't. And orcas are black all over with white patches behind their eyes (which people seem to think are their eyes for some reason), whereas this li'l fella is kinda mixed except for the head, which is black on top with a white stripe and a white underside.
