One or two poor children could live in that maze.

"...and don't add anything to society or the world."

Oh, now I gotta beg to differ there...

I may be old, but I ain't BLIND, LOL! Youth is SO wasted on the young. ;)

[Diana in Wisconsin]

He can have it for free... *SNORT*

[Diana in Wisconsin]

It's fun until the cat stops by to play!

[Krankor]

You wanted a walk-in aquarium?

[discostu]

Well aquariums that filled the room except for a walkway. Kind of like the tourist trap aquariums that started getting built in the 90s, only I had this idea in the 80s.

[Freddd]

I wonder if that’s tax payer funded through his new orleans project?

[ReneeLynn]

‘Pores’? He sweats over them?

It’s his money. At least he’s not spending $80,000 on drugs and other women. Or men.

Sounds like a fun project actually. The kids must love it.

[Kirkwood]

It is his money, but this is no way to teach children the value of a dollar.

[Reddy]

But, but, but.... what about all the pooooor chilllun in the Amerika that could have their lives improved instead of building an 80k home for a GERBIL??! Why, I thought BP was a GOOD lib!!

Oh, I forgot... libs want to spend Other People’s Money (taxes)to help the poor. It’s a well known fact that libs don’t donate to charity on par with conservatives.

Loved the analogy with big pharma... at least big pharma saves lives to make all that money... BP and his ilk just (supposedly) entertain to make millions!! Where’s the outcry!

[NCC-1701]

Must be nice to have that kind of disposable income.

[netmilsmom]

Our gerbils stunk much less than the hamsters.
And they are only really friendly if hand raised from birth.

I raised them as a kid and anyone who got a couple had great pets.

That being said, the new hybrids are biters and the hamsters we had were the most darling little rodents ever. They are now on to their rewards but there is nothing better than hand feeding Lucky Charms to a happy hamster.

[Fawn]

I had hamsters and it didn’t end well.

[jedi150]

Typical Hollyweird arrogance!

And THESE people are influencing Politics with their obsolesce?

Wonder if Richard Gere with try and UP the stakes on this one!

[Diana in Wisconsin]

I dunno. Vermin for pets? I spend a good deal of my time trying to rid my farm of the critters.

I just don’t get it. But, I don’t understand ‘bird people’ either. Or my own mother who is obsessed with model trains. *SHRUG*

(But, hands off my books, my music collection, my yarn and my fabric, LOL!)

[tophat9000]

boasts tunnels, platforms, seesaws and mazes.

Also just like Richard Gere colon

[rabidralph]

LOL! There was time when I’d go see a movie just because his face was in it.

[brwnsuga]

That Brad Pitt is a looker. Too bad he is as looney as a bedbug.

[Man50D]

I had hamsters and it didn’t end well.

We had them also. The mother ate the kids. I spent a lot more time with my dad .(just kidding)
