Hamster and cheese? - purpleartichokes, 2007-06-08: 12:22:00
or german shepherd's pie with a dachshund of catsup - Jabberwocky, 2007-06-08: 12:49:00
Or some poodles in marinara sauce...or a parrot cake...or some chicken cat-chiatore... - ErWenn, 2007-06-08: 14:09:00
I was going to get into more obscure pets, but I started running into the problem that people are about as likely to eat some animals as they are to keep them as pets. - ErWenn, 2007-06-08: 14:10:00
Like hushpuppies? Geez Rik, we're really crapping up your place here, aren't we? Hope you haven't become petulant! - purpleartichokes, 2007-06-08: 14:21:00
I don't think rikboyee is that petty - Jabberwocky, 2007-06-08: 14:33:00
Woohoo! Quittin' time. Headin' home for a verbeer and a hot dog! Have a great weekend all! - purpleartichokes, 2007-06-08: 15:23:00

Petsperanto
Created by: Clayton
Pronunciation: pets-puh-RAHN-toh
Sentence: Petsperanto became fashionable once again in the 23rd century, but by then it resembled Klingon. Later it would lean more toward bafflegab, just as it always had, but Star Trek was taken a bit more seriously in those halcyon days. Of all the people to reanimate, why'd they pick Shatner?
Etymology: pet + Esperanto
----------------------------
COMMENTS:
I couldn't decide between "Petsperanto" and "Espetanto." If somebody wants to take the other one, I'm cool with that. - Clayton, 2007-06-08: 02:15:00
probably his singing prowless? - jadenguy, 2007-06-08: 09:51:00
fabulous word Clayton - Jabberwocky, 2007-06-08: 12:14:00
maybe they like Shatner because he's such a 'regular' guy - Jabberwocky, 2007-06-08: 12:15:00
I'm only giving Shatner a hard time. I've decided also that I should've gone with "Espetanto." So hasty sometimes. - Clayton, 2007-06-08: 13:07:00
I love petsperanto - it's a great word and I referred to Shatner as being a regular guy because he does all those bran commercials - Jabberwocky, 2007-06-08: 13:25:00
"Petsperanto" is better than "Espetanto". - ErWenn, 2007-06-08: 14:12:00
I'm glad to hear that he did do bran commercials, Jabberwocky, because that's the kind of regular I was thinking of when you first said it, and I thought maybe my mind was just in the gutter...toilet...whatever. - ErWenn, 2007-06-08: 14:13:00
it's a good thing Clayton chose Shatner and not JL Picard - that would have led to all kinds of silliness - we could have even encorporated Galwaywegian's baldipachitis into it - Jabberwocky, 2007-06-08: 14:39:00
"Espetanto" has a nice ring to it, though. Damn, now I can't decide again. If anybody reading this works at a coffeeshop, please invent the Espressperanto. I'll take fifty of the most confusing drink known to man, please. - Clayton, 2007-06-08: 16:24:00
Sounds like coffee with a dash of Spanish fly - petaj, 2007-06-08: 22:25:00
