cryptique Posted September 5, 2006 Share Posted September 5, 2006 We have skunks. They're gorgeous. I guess I should be worried that skunks like our back yard so much, but they're the most beautiful animals ... I can't bear to chase them away. They only seem to come out after dark, so I think we're OK just leaving them alone. Link to post Share on other sites

deepseacatfish Posted September 5, 2006 Share Posted September 5, 2006 i refuse to be that guy Actually, here at Grinnell there is both a cape girl and a giant hat girl. For a while I thought they might be the same person, just because not too many people would be that absurd. But nope. Cape girl always wears her black cape, everywhere and in every season. And big hat girl has this black and white leapord print hat with purple velvet trim that's about the same size as an oversize sombrero...and never goes anywhere without it. How these people function in society is beyond me. Link to post Share on other sites

Much whiter than I had expected, with the black mainly on the sides. PEPE LE BLANC!!!Yeah, ours are whiter than I would have expected. More "white with black" than "black with white." I usually only see one at a time, though occasionally there have been two (and they sometimes fight). Link to post Share on other sites
