The adorable pictures thread.

You couldn't pay me to do this. I have, what I consider to be, a very healthy distrust of man's ability to control wild predators.

I have the same distrust you do.  But I'd still want to go.  My wife and I got to pet a 2 year old tiger during our honeymoon in Australia and it was amazing.   

I do have 2 problems though.

1.  I would like to learn Thai enough to read their "it has been X days since the we've had a tourist attacked" sign.
2.  I was unaware there is 2nd reason to visit Thailand and I'm concerned my friends and relatives won't be either.

What, to tour the many, many sweatshops that cover the land?

I suspect he's referring to the child-sex trade.

I'd be worried about the possibility of my significant other waking up to find their genitalia had been swapped in their sleep.

"What the...lefty is on the right now!  How and why could this happen?"

I was thinking more along the lines of the "Saw a woman on a train. She was really cute. I said, please don't get a boner, please don't get a boner, PLEASE don't get a boner, but unfortunately, she did." scenario. Thailand plays pretty fast and loose.

I figured, but why go for the same thing?   

I just wanted to see how small the picture got if I quoted again.

That is just plain stupid.... let's see if we can make it shrink to a tiny dot.

Okay!

[Actually folks: it didn't shrink the first time because of the number of responses.  I did that one manually.  Just as I shrank this one manually.]

You could have kept this idiot (i.e. me) going for ages with this.

"Um... if it isn't too much trouble... could you, maybe... uh... put some more birdseed out?"

No, putting animals in clothing is abuse. Especially ugly clothing.

I think those goats are QUITE adorable.

Actually, they might need those clothes for the cold weather.  It's not uncommon (though usually the "clothes" are more utilitarian.  I remember that when I was in Thailand it was down to 20 degrees (Celsius) that farmers were advised to clothe their livestock and that people should clothe their pets.

Yes, goats are, as a species very delicate and prone to the elements (and loud noises and strange sights, they're all wilting violets really). Which is why, whenever I hear that bit from the bible about separating the sheep from the goats it amuses me to think that Jesus is called the "good shepherd". Jesus would have been a terrible shepherd, he doesn't seem to realise that the goats are being separated because they're more valuable and cherished than the sheep.
