Tea Pets/Tea Mascots

[exquisite]

hehe all my teaware are computer literate, since my primary brewing spot is in front of my laptop...

Already time for me to consider spill proof keyboard as mandatory at the next laptop upgrade. Actually i had 3 little accidents in the last 2 months, and one time the display took a fair portion of liquid, and suffered a "increased contrast area" size of a third part of the screen for almost a week. I regret i didn't take pics, not its completely recovered though.

here is mine, but i rarely use them as i don't really have a proper tea table at the moment...

2 tiny frogs on a rock that sprays water from its mouth


big turtle with retracting neck


i also have the frog with the fierce eyes, but i dont have a picture of it now

I'm sorry to hear that. It sounds like your laptop is allergic to tea.

Actually he looks quite happy. The water buffalo here love to sit in the water, hence the name. They have flat faces and often, they'll submerge themselves in water with just their face and nose above it. They look hysterical. Sometimes they get a particularly muddy pool and you can't even see them, the blend in so well. O own two water buffalos, and they spend most days up to their noses in mud. They love it.

I really love this image and irony as well, thanks for a nice lasting pic of the day.

And they must be very happy indeed in Guangxi province; I hear it's quite wet there

They are. It is very wet here. It looks like the older one is pregnant again and I'm going to have a third water buffalo. I'm building my own herd I guess.

Thank you very much, but Youtube is blocked here, so I can't watch it. What is it?

[geeber1]

Aww, too bad! It was a video of "The Water Buffalo Song" from Veggie Tales. Maybe I can find another link later.

IPT, maybe this one will work?

This thread has been far too quiet, so I thought I'd post two new tea pets that I just got for my daughter. She was born during the year of the rat, and I was born during the year of the pig, so the one on the right is my favorite of the two.
