No, but we lemmings don't attack openly. We prefer to sneak in and eat the enemies' food, pee in their beer, and then hide in their shoes to bite their toes off.

I'd say it's those cute big eyes... he'd lure them into his blade. Though I have another question now: how does the blue fur cope with bloodstains and remains of other nasty body fluids, sputtering from sliced abdomens?

Though I have another question now: how does the blue fur cope with bloodstains and remains of other nasty body fluids, sputtering from sliced abdomens? Thank you. Never, ever trust the cute. Cute can be a killer! And quite well, actually. Fur, unlike hair, sheds readily so stains that don't come out with bathing will be lost naturally and replaced pretty quickly. Plus we lemmings bathe regularly. All the fat and fur means we don't get too cold jumping into icy water. Of course, we still enjoy warm baths and since we burrow we know plenty of places to find subterranean hot springs.

"You can be happy or you can be smart. But you can't be both." Look at my idiot cousins and all the fun they have doing really stupid things! Sadly I can never enjoy life as much as them. Because I had the bad luck of being the smart one in the family.

You hitted me to close to home. Recently I became a bit suspicious i may have Aspergers too, but my interest is bit wider than the ones I know, they are very focused. So I'm not truly convinced.
Grey Cloud Posted August 12, 2018 Posted August 12, 2018 But surely if one were smart enough, one could figure out a way to be happy. And where would 'contentment' fit into the picture? Do I get an extra point for beginning a sentence with 'but' and one with 'and'?

I don't think its that easy, smart people tend to overcomplicate simple things.

Impractical people tend to overcomplicate. Smart people do what gets the thing done with the least effort. I know I do and I'm smarter than the smartest thing on Smart Street in Smarttown.

Ernest Lemmingway Posted August 12, 2018 Author Posted August 12, 2018 Let me put it another way, Resdayn and Grey Cloud. "Simple things amuse simple minds." Which explains the appeal of NASCAR, reality TV, tabloids, and "American football."

The First Lady of Hats Posted August 15, 2018 Posted August 15, 2018 Lemming! If a blue haired lemming and a pinkhaired lemming love each other very very much. What colour will the children be? Also you don't even want to know how close I came to actually doing this. Quote I'd serve the Vikings, though. This pleases me Lemming. Come you to the Frozen North, let us carve a path to Fólkvangr!

Not as long as we practice safe sex. It's amazing what you can buy on the Internet. They make condoms small enough for lemmings! Granted the store caters to men who are overcompensating with fancy sports cars, six-figure paychecks, and trophy wives, so they're extremely expensive...
Grey Cloud Posted August 16, 2018 Posted August 16, 2018 It's not 'bear', it's 'bar'. It means 'without'. The word is still used in Yorkshire dialect. On Ilkley Moor bar t'at

Don't they have to have sex first? ? If you're right about the color I'm disappointed. I was hoping for stripes. Or maybe polka dots like a tortoise-shell cat. ?

Spoiler Something like a "throne" and a matching plate and spoon. I guess it was considered a concluding set by my parents. By the way: Mr. Lemming, do little Lemmings get diapers from their parents or is there some other form of "taking care of things". If yes, won't that be a problem with the fur? Can they still be sufficiently "tight" ? Spoiler Lack of product quality or insufficient skill of the adult can lead to really unpleasent experiences for everybody involved. ... at least that's my observation with the little humans
