Metz and Pyrit yet again you are making me laugh.

and yay for a return of the black footed ferret(weasle to the wilds of Kansas.. may they live long and prosper with many baby ferrets

Peeps,
“LOGAN COUNTY, KANSAS — On Tuesday, December 18, 2007 at The Nature Conservancy’s 17,000-acre Smoky Valley Ranch preserve in Logan County, Kansas, 10 endangered black footed-ferrets were released into the wild by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS). This reintroduction marks the first time that live ferrets, once believed extinct, have been documented on Kansas soil in 50 years.”

“It’s one of the most endangered mammals in North America”
Why?? Because it stole your microphone cover?? NAAAAW don’t be taking the feretty pants out for stealings. I’m sure she’ll give it back if you ask nice.

Wonder how to explain that one back at the office when they put a requisition in for a new one.

What the heck do you need a new mic cover for?

(sheepish voice) a ferret stole it.

WHAT? BWHAHHHAHHAHAHHHAHHA, no really, what happend to your mic cover?

‘ello, me name’s McArtful McDodgersons an’ oi’ll be your micpickpocket t’noit! Thank you!

oh my goodness! That was adorable!!! They may be very different ferrets from the European ones we are allowed to have as pets, but I think they are just as cute! (My honey doesn’t agree with me, sadly.) I, too, love the musky smell of my 4 fuzzies, but I can’t think of any animal I’ve been around that I can’t stand the smell of. Well, except for the human male wearing Tag — that stuff is hideous!

As for CNN, they have been doing a program called Broken Government, Scorched Earth and on Thursday they had a piece about the black-footed ferret. I missed it of course, came in at the tail end (haha). I wonder if this was shown in that feature or if it is an online “bonus” piece of video. Anyone catch the program?

Not only a bassoon solo, but winding up with the classic cartoon-sneaky sound of pizzicato strings!
It is an excerpt from Stravinsky’s “Le Furet du Printemps.”

Haaa Glad I got a chance to read the comments.. I had watched this sound off at work and didn’t get a chance to read it.. Now I have rewatched it with the sound on.I love the music it reminds me of Peter and the wolf.
hehehehe
