DM me your card details and I’ll send you a couple of pints from my platypus farm.

Wait…. People farm the weirdos?

It’s heavily regulated now as someone sold one of the male drumsticks that still had the venomous spur attached at a Saturday farmers market.

Fortunately most of the venom was deactivated by frying it but they still had to be hospitalised for a week.

I realize I shouldn't.

but. I kinda want one. They're cute.

(again, I realize I shouldn't!)

Hell, we'll even try to domesticate things that are anything but cute, like crocodiles, fish and spiders

They're all cute to someone.

(Not me, I have crippling arachnophobia)
