Is Paxo Giving You The Bird?

Having read Maddie Real_Gone_Kid's comment on my Guest Book, I wondered if people who come by my blog know that you can turn Paxo (the chick)'s volume off?

If you find him down on the right, you can click on the little loudspeaker in the corner of his box (which I've helpfully arrowed on the picture above) and turn the sound off... I've got to admit, I have!

You can do the same with Anxious if sheep don't do it for you either...

Dear Ms Munckwood...

Further to your comment, we at ACME plc are pleased to inform you that your donation has been re-routed to us, in order to fund further research and development of our patented exploding bird seed.

As you will be aware from our promotional videos starring Wile E. Coyote and Road Runner, initial test batches of this product were not entirely successful, but ACME are confident that the new recipe will lead to many more exploding chickens.

Paxo has agreed to be a test subject for the new recipe bird seed (well, he doesn't actually know he's agreed), and feeding of the new, improved bird seed will commence shortly.

Please keep sponsoring our worthwhile endeavours for all of chickenkind.

Thank you.

The Directors of ACME plc.

Hatches & Dispatches...

Dear blog readers, it is with deep regret that I announce the passing of 2 faithful friends... my virtual pets Bubba the monkey and Tickles the cat have both been taken to the virtual vet for the last time...

Let's have a moment of silence in their memories....

And then let's greet my Christmas Dinner - er, sorry, my new pet... Paxo the chick (bit further down the page, on the right)! Please feel free to feed him (and all he does is eat!), as December is coming, and I want enough leftovers for sandwiches on Boxing Day!

(Oh, and he's a noisy bugger, so you might want to turn the sound off if you're at work).
