Re: Challenge 1110: Out for delivery
As a young boy my dad caught 2 to 4 week old baby skunks and learned how to 'descent' them. He then sold them as an early form of pest control. Descented skunks were often used in the early 1900s for pest control in hotels, warehouses, and homes. They were prized by property owners as exceptional "mousers" and rat catchers, capable of clearing out dense rodent populations in hard-to-reach basement and crawlspace areas.

I know, I'm a bit strange, but I rather like their unique odor.

From my only experience of it, already a day old and fading, I would have to say that "rather liking it" makes "a bit strange" sound woefully inadequate.

Off topic but I remember driving along a road in California many years ago when I spotted a roadkill. A few yards later I found out what it was when the aroma came wafting into the car and ……. I was trapped inside 😱😱😱😱🤮

Curious to know if this will work for people on different OS's. It’s a standard Apple emoji. 🦨 🦨 🦨 🦨

Interesting Loyd, facts i never have heard of.
I have to say find the smell putrid.
It's a smell that spreads for miles and seems to linger for days - dread ever hitting one with auto😷😷

David - emoji works on my PC and iPad.

After you have been forced to bathe your 'skunk sprayed' Jack Russel dog more than once, you 'kinda, sorta' get used to it.

I might have exaggerated a little on how much I liked it.

With a sense of smell infinitely more powerful than yours does he?

Young Wally Rally used to be a clown in the circus. He often wished he had never left.

He missed the life and was heartily sick of the morons in Cambridge tripping him up and worse.

On his birthday his partner Lexi Languidi (not her real name) gave him a unicycle as a present. Wally was delighted. He jumped on, Lexi handed him his parcels, took a photo of him, and Wally pedalled off, never to be seen again.

Except in weird photoshopped fantasies, like this one:

He appears to be falling off his skateboard not stumbling over one. Was skateboard delivery the intention?

It's really very acceptable .............. but somehow so obvious.

Thanks. Seems to be a standard universal emoji. Not quite sure what for though ............

Since Loyd seems to like them we could use them like stars for scoring his images. Wow Loyd, that's a real five skunker!
