    I never thought about sloths much until I started getting posts from the Sloth Sanctuary. These are odd and very dear little creatures.

    I was having a poopy night (I teach college and every end of semester, I get the usual subjects whining about their final grades) and this brought a needed smile to my face. Thanks.

      Hope your tonight is better than last night. Everything is made better after viewing sweet, smiling animals.

    My whole day can generally be saved by Qte Inna Blankie*. However, my day has been rescued beyond telling by Sloth Inna Blankie*. It doesn’t get any better than this.

    * Note to Terry Pratchett’s lawyers. I deny any resemblance between” qte inna blankie” and “rat onna stick”. Pbbbbthhhhh.

    I was about to throw in the towel, ’til I noticed there was a sloth in it. Oh joy! Oh wrap-ture!

  12. Gigi says:

    Mr. trouble never hangs around,
    when he hears this happy sound,
    Here I come to save the day!
    That means that Smilley Sloth is on the way!

    I think the modbot is just not old enough to understand what I was talking about.

    OK what’s good to eat today in the loundge?

    • Sprock says:

      How would you like to join me for a quesadilla with chips and guacamole? (I’m feeling a yen for Mexican today) Margaritas on the rocks are coming up shortly.

  14. Sprock says:

    Let’s try a haiku
    Who said sloth was deadly sin
    I do not agree

  15. Estlin says:

    That sloth is looking pretty smug all wrapped up in that towel. He (or she) likes getting spoiled, methinks.

  16. Sprock says:

    What’s good to eat in the moderation lounge?
