The new, lighthearted Meta-plane

Not for good though! I've just been in a pretty good mood lately, so I'm going to try to blog in those circumstances too just to give balance to the site. No promises for the future. Then again... are there ever?

Ok, a question: If I had two animals and I named them Macon and Francis, what kind of animals would they be?

Leave your answer in the comments section.

Smarty pants! Very clever of you. Makin' bacon indeed. Mmmmm... (not to you though I suppose).

And Francis Bacon was of course a very influential philosopher that the "founding fathers" of the United States cribbed many of their democratic ideas from.

But if Francis is not a suitable pet name, you could always call him Frank! Unless he was a dachshund (wiener dog) of course...

Thanks for the comment =) Glad you're back more often, I missed you.

thought of Francis Bacon right away, as for the animals, Francis I figured would be a mule.

Macon wold be a Cockatoo and Francis would be a Goldfish.

Cockatoo and goldfish eh? Points for originality. The names do fit, too, I'm just not a bird or fish guy.

I want to get some more cats and call them Mr. Whiskers, Tuffy, Angelica, and Trogdor.

Macon is an armadillo from the deep south. Francis is a Prancing Pony.

Another entry:
Macon is a Maine Coon Cat who waits by the dock for the fisherman who returns with his catch each day. Maine Lobster, hopefully.
Francis is a British Blue who hangs out in the pubs of Nottingham begging for bangers and mash.

I like Macon the armadillo and Francis the prancing pony than the other set. Macon is ok for a Maine coon, but Francis for a big cobby cat... I think he'd have to insist on going by Frank then.

Well my original idea was to get people to guess that they were both pigs, but this has taken on a life of its own, so I'll be flexible and contribute.

Macon is a very tame (some my say sweet) water monitor lizard rescued from the illegal pet trade just off Singapore. Francis is a dumb but happy wallaby from the outback who found its way into a saloon one day and was adopted by an old gaffer with no family left. They now spend their time drinking and boxing.
