Organized Sports

1-7 GameDay

Not so much for Rhinos. Our approach to games is not successful, and the rules, whatever the game, mostly seem arbitrary to Us. Why play by those rules when there are so many alternative rules all around, as any booby can see.

Also, as Anyone would tell you, We are not graceful losers

Omens & Vibrations

2-6 toTen

Even-tempered and benign as We generally are, there are things that do set Rhinos off. We are not wired to put up with absolutely Everything. Prior to the ensuing episodes, We try to give fair warning, broadcasting signals to those in the vicinity.

We might try ‘counting to ten’, but as We have said, We can’t count that high.

In crisis, Rhinos seldom remember what number comes after ‘two’.

Cubism-ed

1-3 a la Leger

February 4 is Fernand Leger’s birthday, but a while ago. Still, We think highly of his painting style and rich output. Feels Rhinocerine to Us, and who would be better judges of that Essential than We are? He had what it takes to make Us tintinnabulate.

When We like ’em, We say so. Ask anybody.

Social Graces

2-2 Expressivity

On occasion Rhinos find themselves described as ‘antisocial’. It would be disheartening if We thought these critiques were justified.

We are a busy species, eating to maintain our stature. We are left with little time for idle pursuits. For Us, it’s all about chewing.

For Rhinos it is not easy to chew and smile at the same time. The one activity must take precedence over the other.

Vary Careful Listening

1-31 Rockettes

Not every Rhino can communicate with Rocks. Rocks give off vibrations, which is how they make their thoughts available. Not every Rhino has the patience to get the message.

RhinoRockReaders say that Rocks are most interested in their own mass; are they getting bigger or smaller, working their way to pebbleness or bolderhood? We are told that Rocks do not care which direction is their trend, but they do ponder.

One thing with Rocks, they are seldom in a hurry.
