Cat Forum / Cat Anecdotes / June 2004I wanna see this movie!
It sounds so sweet, and should appeal to animal lovers: http://www.paweekly.com/movies/cgi/moviescreener_long.cgi?id=1978 Joyce >http://www.paweekly.com/movies/cgi/moviescreener_long.cgi?id=1978 I saw it! It's wonderful. The camel is sooo beautiful and cute, I'm afraid camels will become a trendy pet.

(Anyway, they're much too big, unless you have a farm with all the requisite out-buildings.) >> On Mon, 28 Jun 2004 04:14:18 GMT, jXwXeXrXmXoXnXt@sonic.net >> yodeled: [quoted text clipped - 7 lines] > (Anyway, they're much too big, unless you have a farm with all the >requisite out-buildings.) The Nashville Zoo had a baby camel on display in the petting zoo. They took it off display a few months ago; I don't know if this is because it started getting less sweet-tempered, because they sold it to another zoo, or what. At any rate, during the several months it was on display it seemed friendly enough, probably because it thought of humans as "people who feed and pet me" as opposed to "people who pile heavy loads on my back". It was a bit smelly, but so are the goats, who are the main pettable animals in the petting zoo.  SignatureJohn F.

The gals, though, are frantically sociable. ;) Theresa My Blog: http://www.humanitas.blogspot.com alt.tv.frasier FAQ: http://www.im-listening.net/FAQ/ >Only billys are smelly, and they don't care much if you pet them.

"Frantically sociable" is a good description.

As a matter of fact, yes-- I've also ridden on a (relatively) friendly one. ;) Theresa My Blog: http://www.humanitas.blogspot.com alt.tv.frasier FAQ: http://www.im-listening.net/FAQ/ > As a matter of fact, yes-- I've also ridden on a (relatively) friendly > one. ;) When - and where?

There were two of them, a friendly boy, and a cantakerous girl. I was on the friendly boy. They are VERY tall.

After bargaining for a while, the unwary tourist pays for the ride... not knowing that when it's time to come back they have to bargain again for the ride back.

I guess you have somewhat less bargaining power on that second ride. Sherry >>Which reminds me of the camel rides at the spynx in Egypt.

We flew over to take part in a multi-national exercise (I'm retired Army) in '88. One of my techs had just enough Egyptian money to pay to the first leg of the trip. Ended up having to promise to pay four times to get back where she could borrow some. BTW, the female soldiers seemed to be targeted for this particular scam.
