EDGAR THE LIONESS

Sunday, August 12. 2007

Rudy came home from hunting practice with amazing news; Edgar showed up for hunting tryouts, and even cut his mane so that no one would recognize him. All this is in a vain, misguided attempt to win back the heart of Rhonda, now a married tiger.
For a brief moment I was in a quandary over whether to tell Rhonda, but it was a moot point. Within minutes of Edgar's appearance at the tryouts, every single member of the hunting team sent Rhonda a text message letting her know.
Fenton and I went over to her new place; she and Quinn are living with his parents, the Rabelais, and getting ready to move to the university's family housing in a few weeks. Mr. and Mrs. Rabelais actually appeared relaxed and calm, with none of the nervousness I normally associate with the rabbits I grew up around (except for Dad, of course!). Then I realized...they now have a tigress protecting them.
Rhonda's reaction to the news about Edgar was essentially...Eh. She's moved on, and honestly doesn't care one way or the other about him and his hunting efforts. She thinks his lioness disguise is a bit silly, but she isn't going to do anything to expose him.
Rhonda, Quinn, Fenton and I spent the evening online playing World of Wolfcraft as a team. We look forward to hanging out together on campus in the fall!

it's too be expected. the world will not wait for you to get your act together and if you hurt some one even some one that cares for you then enough then they won't be around even if you do honestly change your ways in the end.

Some people thought, as had crossed my mind, that Rhonda would react more strongly, maybe even going out of her way to embarrass Edgar further. But I knew she was too mature for that.

He has no shot at Rhonda anymore. As I recall, he tried the "learning how to hunt" deal before and fell back into his old ways. In any case, she's happy with Quinn.

Who knows, though? Maybe there's a hunting-inept lioness in search of love...

One can hope so, Ralph can't be the only one!

(After all, maybe there's a lioness at the NRA meetings Ralph attends/attended

I was thinking pretty much the same thing. Would it impress other lionesses that a lion is actually TRYING to hunt instead of considering it "women's work" the same way a human male who can actually cook real meals instead of take out or microwave? I have the feeling there are more than a few lionesses who resent lazy males like the pair we saw earlier and would welcome a male who actually shared the hunting experience.

World of Wolfcraft, huh? Looks like a great game, though my system and Internet connection are woefully under-powered (I'm on dial-up, for gosh sake!) to join in the fun. I'm curious what kind of characters you have!

Is ANYONE going to tell Edgar than Rhonda is married? I mean, this is cruel!

What's this about the new lioness on the hunting team, Leona Mangle? Didn't Kell have a lion co-worker by the name of Fred Mangle?

Looks like Edgar just "fell" for Leona...

Wow! It seems like anyone who knows your family eventually meets their perfect match, no mater how odd! Um...I guess posting comments to your blog doesn't count. Oh, well!
