Earlier quoted context omitted.

Okay, on further research and a bit of help from Wikipedia - I believe it's not leopard fur, but rather 'serval' fur: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Serval_in_Tanzania.jpg http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Serval Servals are not endangered, does not mean I'll be making myself a cape out of it though!

Awwww. I made a serval ethogram in my animal behavior class. =(

Since we're going on tangents here, I've taught an animal behavior class.

Am not a Christian but happened to close a big project last week so took the Christmas week off; so got holidays! Am using this time to explore new MacBookPro my wife gifted me earlier this month for my b'day.. ..and (this is the part where I remm saying 'Jesus sure does not love me all that much') results were out for one of the professional exams I gave in Sept and I flunked.

2010 scion tC... Totally sweet ride, korman book, and much needed socks

I have an '07 tC and love it. I've put 40k miles on it in 2 1/2 years, and I haven't had a single problem besides bent rims. Speaking of the rims, I don't know if they've changed in the past three years (doubt it), but if they haven't, be careful with them. My dad bent one hitting in pot hole in San Antonio, and I bent two at some point (no idea how). It might not be immediately obvious they're bent, but they can suffer pretty nasty blowouts when the sidewall does finally deteriorate. Neither my dad nor I have done that in any other car, so I think it has something to do with the rims (although we can be a little rough on cars).

I just got cash. I'm impossible to shop for, since I just buy whatever I want. So about 5 years back we just agreed that I just get cash, since that allows me to buy the stuff I really want, when I get the itch.

I get the same thing, typically. I'm a starving college student (well, not really starving, but generally broke), and random gifts can't pay the rent.
