In case you wanted to see what picture Peter is thinking of:


That's one of the scariest faces I've seen in nature, at least on a mammal:

Reminds me of Rousseau. Not Rousseau himself, but The Sleeping Gypsy or whatever.

Pleasant dreams, kiddies! Yeah, fat chance of that now.

Aw, you had to go and compare the monster to a lynx! Now I'm going to be sad when they eventually kill it. :-(

BTW, maybe I'm just weird, but I think the lynx in that photo is kind of cute. A little demented looking, sure, but in a cute way.

Then again, I'm not a rabbit. And as you may gather from my username, I am somewhat of a fan of lynxes, so I'm probably biased.

WV: aderchi: a type of Eastern European meatballs, traditionally made from rabbit (ha!), and served at May Day festivals to celebrate spring.

The Lynx in the photo looks like it's just remembered an important appointment while hunting.

So, now we find out whether the Snow Demon is a psycho killer (que'est-ce que c'est?) or a fluffy misunderstood benevolent behemoth.

Adingles = Those coins, bits of paper, old concert tickets, and fluffballs that one finds when one empties out one's pockets in search of some useful item. The pockets never contain this item.

Nice kitty don't eat me kitty, well ok it's not a cat but looks like one.

And boy I hope Snowy isn't going to be to pissed off at Dill for not playing with baby.

Rubberduck - re the lynx photo: You're right - tt totally does look like that! That photo needs a thought balloon saying "Wait a minute - was that interview set for tomorrow, or --? DAMN IT!"

Either that or "OMG, I think I left the gas on! BRB!"

WV: comin: 1. what lynxes need to do to their fur, before dashing off from a fresh kill to that important job interview. 2. The ruling telepathic caste on the planet Darkover, according to the Darkovan Simplified Spelling Society.

Todd -
The Todd-meister, goin' all arty on me! I had to Wikipedia that, but yes, you're right, there's a striking similarity in the creepiness factor...

misslynx -
Yeah, I guess that DOES kind of mess with your namesake, doesn't it?

CUTE? Demented but CUTE?

How about just DEMENTED?

Rubberduck -
No, it just looks like a straight up psycho.

daymon34 -
I think it would be more cheesed at Dill PLAYING with Baby.

misslynx 2 -
What, are you people crazy?

That look is all, "You know what I'm going to do to you when I catch you? I am going to MESS you UP. First I'm gonna..." and then he goes on to detail a number of extremely painful, extremely gruesome things he's going to do.

SCARY. Not absentminded!
