Bat
Genera: Pteropus
Collective Term: A cauldron of bats
Description
This is a decidedly unconformist creature, for as an airborne personality, the bat tends to look down at the conventions of the ground animals. And yet, since it is not a true bird and having not mastered the art of smooth controlled flight, it often appears awkward in social situations. (Hence the term -- acting batty). But as compensation for this social ungainliness, many bat personalities sport a built-in radar, which enables them to intuitively read the motivations of others.
Identifying bat personalities is not difficult. Being nocturnal creatures, they come alive at night and can be spotted in underground clubs or dimly lit bars. They prefer the sanctuary of dark clothing and dark corners, and you'll never see a bat sporting a heavy tan. These are intelligent, spiritual, creative individuals who use their full range of senses (other than their poor eyesight) to carefully navigate their way through life.
Bats have a habit of flitting in and out of social situations, swooping down to interact briefly with others before quickly flying off to resume their bat lives. Unassertive and aloof, they'll take flight at the first hint of a confrontation to seek comfort in their personal spaces that are decorated in unusual but expressive ways. The bat's sixth sense gives it a number of advantages in its work, and its insightful nature enables it to understand others better than it understands itself.
In the romance department, bats are enamored with the idea of love more than they are with its colder realities. Decidedly untraditional, they are prone to flights of extraordinary fantasy -- and it's not the traditional Ken and Barbie type of romance that tickles its fancy either. It's the Bram Stoker kind: dark, moody and gothic.
Bat personalities have an enormous sense of loyalty and if you ever do a favor for a bat, it will never relax until it has paid you back. In fact, in nature, the bat is the only animal (other than man) to demonstrate true altruism when unrelated individuals will unselfishly offer food to a cave-mate without expectation anything in return. This powerful sense of quid pro quo is one of the defining characteristics of the bat personality and anyone should consider themselves lucky to be in a bat's good graces.
Bats have no strong yearning for parenthood, for the kind of ego gratification that comes with having one's own children doesn't appeal to its karmic temperament. They are instead quite content to satisfy their maternal or paternal instincts by adopting or merely baby-sitting. If they do have children, they prove to be perfunctory parents: methodical yet unconventional . Still, bats place great emphasis on ethics and morality and insist that their children be indoctrinated in the values of good citizenship.

You don't want to get me angry...
(Incredible Hulk reference, in case anyone wonders....)
Re: You don't want to get me angry...
They have a placket, with 3 or 4 buttons up the side, on the outside of each leg. They're a little shorter than capris -- just below the knee. I like the look of them unbuttoned at the leg, but now that Unk pointed out their Incredible Hulk-likeness, they do kind of look like that :) I don't care. I still like 'em!
The Incredible Hulk
My favorite brother owned boxes of Marvel comics. Even though he is much older than I (well, he seemed much older back then when I was 7 and he was 18), he used to let me come into his room and "hide". While he listened to or composed music, I'd lie across his bed and read comic book after comic book. My favorites were The Incredible Hulk and Spiderman.
Re: The Incredible Hulk
I don't think so.
I did :)
And I agree -- we just finally saw the new Hulk movie about a month or two ago. Painful.

Batman Begins
Go, Ant...but just be ready to hide your face in Unk's shoulder at certain parts.
Re: Batman Begins
All the little asides were hysterical, too. Very funny.
And to think of the money I dropped at the salon for that picture!
I was wondering, though...do you think the way I'm sitting makes my ears look big?

Hmm...they do have a certain ring to them... and the second one is perfect; I wouldn't even have to have my monograms changed!
