As I mentioned in Monday's post, I am cleaning up my townhouse and going over
things that I have made copies of in the past.  I have four copies of the MTV
Unplugged VCD that I made last month that I watched last night to make sure
they worked.  I have a new home theatre system and love the subwoofer.  It sure
picks up Bones' bass. :-)  But I couldn't figure out how to give them out
fairly because some people are on digest while others can reply right away.
Then it occured to me.  I believe it was Jeff who mentioned my nickname.  I
know that I have mentioned the number of animals I have raised over the years
off and on, either on the list or to the people I met at the show in Vegas last
year.  So, I am going to make this a game.  The first four people who can guess
which ONE of the following animals I have NOT owned or raised get the VCD to be
mailed out next Tuesday.

cat, dog, fish, bird, mouse, rat, hamster, rabbit, lizard, snake, tortoise,
frog, tarantula, scorpion

I am not even going to get into the animals I have at work nor the animals I
worked with at the Phoenix Zoo when I was a junior keeper in high school.

[And for those of you who are wondering, my coworker and I have started a
captive breeding program at work with our snakes.  Three weeks ago, we had our
first clutch of Sonoran gopher snakes hatch.  Both parents are captive-bred
too.  I do not believe in the taking of animals from their habitat unless it is
unavoidable, like our chuckawallas (lizards), one of which was injured by
someone's dog and is unreleasable and the other which was found inside
someone's car and he had no idea what part of the desert in came from so it
couldn't be re-released.]

Long live the Oils.  If we keep spreading the VCDs, they will always be around.
