We'z a diverse group!

Good evening, Critter lovers! The other day, I was working. I have a part-time job editing academic textbooks. I suffer through the most stupor-inducing pedantic claptrap ever inscribed by hoomins, so you and your children don't have to. I wield my trusty red editing pen and wrestle the passive voice to its knees. After a while, however, this stuff puts me to sleep, so I listen to music to stay awake.

So as I say, the other day, I was working. I love Forté, so I was listening to them while I worked. And ever since, I cannot get their version of the Game of Thrones theme song out of my head. So I thought I'd share my earworm.

I don't have HBO, so I know very little about this Game of Thrones phenomenon. I read about it on Wikipedia whilst preparing for this post. But I will share what I know with you.

But first, The Recommendations:

•Our intent is to create a safe place to relax and play; please use common sense and have fun.
•Share any and all pootie/woozle/furry/feathery/leathery photos or issues that you would like.
•When it comes to problems, we may just have someone with experience who can help.
•If you would like a pic from the posts, please ask the poster. He/she may have a copyright to those pics. Many thanks.
•We love critters, so any/all photos that encourage human violence against an animal will be frowned upon and considered out of bounds!

Second, you must have Forté's music to listen to. If you play this and read the diary at the same time - and if you read and peruse photos at exactly the same speed I do - then the music and the diary will end at the same time. Pretty nifty, huh?

If you prefer, you can follow along with the lyrics, but then you might have to replay to read the diary, and you'll be ever more in danger of earworm!

In case you were curious, here is the translation, or so they say (in English and high Valyrian!)

Chaos is a Ladder

When you play the Game of Thrones, you win or you die. .
Skorī dēmalȳti tymptir tymis, ērinis iā morghūlis.

When you play the Game Of Thrones, you win or you die.
Skorī dēmalȳti tymptir tymis, ērinis iā morghūlis.

I will take what is mine.
Ñuhor līr gūrēnna.

What do we say to death?
Skoros morghot vestri?

Today, no.
Tubī daor.

Yes? NO
Kessa? DAOR

The night is dark and full of terrors.
Bantis zōbrie issa se ossȳngnoti lēdys.

Today, no.
Tubī daor.

Yes? NO
Kessa? DAOR

Well, that didn't work out as planned, apparently. But as the story goes, as I understand it, there is at least one king.

Hey! We don't need silly costume to be Kingly!

Who says it's always Dad who gets to be ruler, anyway? Yeah!

And there are dragons.

Which reminds me of rainbows. I love rainbows!

Victoria Falls

Waimea Canyon

And critters made from rainbows!

And apparently there are fantasy critters, although I don't know if they have one of these (they should)!

Kitten butterfly rainbow unicorn

Maybe they just have unicorns

Certainly they have horses

And wolves.

Or maybe huskies. Wikipedia didn't seem sure!

Yew can't tell difference?!?

So that's all the animals they mentioned.

Well how insulting! You know we're the real kings of the jungle, right?

Sorry, they didn't mention you! I'm sure it was an oversight.

You know you don't have to be a big lion to be king

Yes, I do know that.

Good. We wouldn't want to have to bring you down to the basement

Oh no, not that!

Did they not mention hugs and floofiness?

Sorry, they did not. It's supposed to be kind of a dark story, I guess.

They don't know what they're missing!

This is true; they miss out on a lot.

Speaking of floofy, did you know this is what Angora rabbits look like?

Could use a comb!

And silkie chickens?

But I'm sure the series will all end well. Won't it?

Sure! Why not?

What could possibly go wrong?
