< zimboptoo> is it bad when your freezer makes sounds like there's a fish swimming in it?
< Sev> If there are not, indeed, fish swimming in it, then maybe.
< zimboptoo> I checked, no fish
< Primis> what about marine mammals?
< zimboptoo> nope
< zimboptoo> we're mostly vegitarians
< zimboptoo> well, if my freezer starts to spawn...hey, free freezers
< Sev> But it doesn't have a mate!  You'll just get freezer roe all over the place!
< zimboptoo> eeewww
< zimboptoo> what about the fridge?
< Sev> Different species.
< Sev> It's a parasitic organism to the freezer.
* zimboptoo is a bit embarrassed to have been a veggie for 10 years and still can't spell it
< zimboptoo> hmm
< zimboptoo> so you're sure they're not asexual?
< Sev> Pretty sure.  Haven't you ever seen the great Frigidaire Spawning Grounds?
< Sev> It's quite a site in mating season.  Heards of the things, pushing piles of brush into nests...
< Sev> ...The males fighting and flapping their doors in mating displays...
< zimboptoo> what about food spoilage?
< Sev> What about it?  They must travel far, and leave behind all the stuff that humans stuff into them during their sessile phase.
< zimboptoo> well then it's a good thing for us that we have it fitted into a cabinet
< zimboptoo> can't go anywhere
< Sev> It's the big old males, the ones with fearsome coatings of frost in their maws, that tend to get the most females.
< zimboptoo> aww, then our's wouldn't get a mate anyway
< Sev> Well, if it's a female, you're pretty safe.  If it's a bull, however, you might have problems when it breaks free.
< zimboptoo> ooh, hmm
* zimboptoo never checked the sex of the freezer
< Sev> You really need a professional to sex them.
< zimboptoo> funny how I just assume it's male.  So sexist
< zimboptoo> I'm sure there's a manual around here somewhere
< zimboptoo> call the 1800 number
< zimboptoo> "Excuse me, but do you know how I can identify the sex of my freezer?  I want to know whether I should reenforce the framing during the mating season
< zimboptoo> "
< zimboptoo> oh man, do they go into heat?
< zimboptoo> I don't want a bunch of bull freezers gathering outside of my door trying to get at ours
< zimboptoo> if any boys come to the door, they are getting the talk.  Our fridge is only 2 years old, definately not old enough to date yet
< aio> ... you people scare the hell out of me sometimes.
