Where's Cynth?

[Flyingcursor]

Anyone heard from her? Her last post was in November.

[izzarina]

I was just wondering about her the other day too, Flydood. I miss her!

[Caroluna]

Bump!
Me too!

[Jack]

Me three!

[cowtime]

Me four…and her little frenchie dog too…

[scottielvr]

…and Scottie makes five. I’ve been known to be a bit sporadic myself, but…Cynth is, well, Cynth, you know? Hope we’ll hear from her soon.

I was thinking of her, too.

In 2 weeks, I’ll be staying at that haunted hotel in Orlando. If you remember, last time she offered astute advice and support, without which I’m sure I would have been carried off by whatever-it-was.

We need to find her right away. Her excellent web research has been missed.

You’re staying there AGAIN??? That place was horrifying!! Don’t you have another alternative?

This is my favorite Cynth post, from back in June of last year. The whole thread was extremely surreal, with a recurring theme of armadillos, critters which for some reason give Cynth the heebie-jeebies. Apparently they jump straight up in the air when frightened, and the thought of that freaked her out…so after that bit of context, here it is–

Armadillos and bats are cute li’l nubbins.

@Nanohedron

Did you know that the nine-banded armadillo is one of the very few animals other than humans that is known to be able to contract leprosy? Poor things.

Oh dear. What with that and getting hit by cars I’m starting to feel I should open up some sort of refuge for them. They can’t see very well either. Honestly, they do have some problems.

@djm

I’m afraid I’m having trouble following all this. We started out with armadillos, and then we progressed to trying to get the armadillos to jump straight up into the air, and now it seems that once the armadillo has jumped straight up into the air, you’re supposed to try and hit it with the bat (?). Is this, like, some sort of regional sport or something?

No, no, no. The bats were just a side issue.
It’s croquet like in Alice in Wonderland.

Here you can see a fellow trying to gently massage an armadillo through the wicket.
You never ever hit them. You just sort of gently nudge them along and speak softly to them.
The main difficulty is that, once the armadillo realizes it isn’t going to be hurt, it starts coming
out of its ball-shape and may even start digging for grubs in the middle of the game!
Of course, surprising them by loudly expressing your dismay is the worst thing you
can do because then the armadillo will be jumping straight up in the air!
This is considered a fault and the good sportsman will call it on himself.

Like C & F, only greener, and dirtier

That is the hairiest armadillo I’ve ever seen.

I miss Cynth, as well. She’s a sweetie, and full of information.
There seems to be a lot of “Where’s so-and-so” threads of late.
