Is it true that puma's, cougars, mountain lions and jaguars are all names for the same animal? Heard that somewhere.


Puma = Cougar = Mountain Lion

Panther is used regionally in the US but can also refer to leopards and jaguars.

I'm not aware of anyone using jaguar as a name for mountain lions, but it's possible.

Puma concolor-Cougar is Puma, puma is cougar-All other big cats fall into another Genus-These cats can be tamed, can be pets. Wear gloves and avoid kissy-face.

Are you sure it's a puma, looks like a warthog?

Hah! Neither did I!>> ^lampishthing:

I was very intrigued by how this video event happened as I watched it.... wondered about visual stereotypes, and why it is so amazing to see "tough guys" sing, when did "tough guys" learn to harmonize, blah blah, it was quite the journey.
Then at the end, discovered it was a Puma ad. Oh.

Yeah. They sneak that stuff in.

I have to say, I was deeply intrigued by the whole scenario. I WANTED it to be tough guys singing.

I'm glad it is getting the votes -- it deserves it.

Way too nice and unworn shoes for a "real" homeless dude. The outfit matches the groove though. Excellent stuff.


This is not necessarily always a correct assumption; homeless people in big cities often get clothing donated to various shelters--the nicer the area the nicer the clothes. I saw homeless people in New York with Burberry (or knock-off) scarves, wearing Pumas and Nike track pants.

He does seem to be doing fine for himself though: http://www.myspace.com/edmunddunbar

A few highlights from the master list:

* Chickenhawk—an older gay man who sexually pursues younger males, i.e. "twinks"/"chickens" or underage boys.

* Manther—Male version of a cougar.

* Puma—a woman in her thirties who dates a younger man (i.e. 20-somethings), often considered to be "cougars-in-training". It also means Cougars whose age disparity is less than 8 years.[10][19]

* Silver fox—A term denoting an attractive older male who is pursued by (generally much) younger women.

* Troll—a man, often a less-attractive older one, who cruises for sex.[20]

* Saber tooth—a woman usually in her fifties dating a man 20+ years her junior, often considered a cougar past her prime.

* Pterodactyl—a cougar well past her prime, often with leathery skin, boney hands and narrow facial features.

* Cougar—a woman over 40[10] who sexually pursues younger men, typically more than eight years her junior.[11] The term appears to have been coined by Canadian website Cougardate.com[12] and has been used in TV series, advertising and film. The 2007 film Cougar Club was dedicated to the subject and in Spring 2009 TV Land aired a reality show called The Cougar. A new show is Cougar Town.

We’ll have you on the run just like a puma
If it don’t move us
Ain’t paid ya dues and it ain’t gonna get our roosers
We gonna lose ya to the consumer solution c’mon

Okay, I've been looking at these, and my official position is that the Republicans have been punk'd. Some liberal agent provocateur has gotten into their system and planted this blatantly absurd idea in their collective consciousness and rallied them to follow it. The GOP has no command and control structure (thanks Mr. Steel) so they can't vet these things before they take on a life of their own. The result is that we see the wingnutiest of the right wing base eat up tons of air time looking like fools talking about how they are going to teabag the president.

This reminds me of PUMA, are the people taking part in these events even Republicans? Has the GOP been astro-turfed?

Id like to see how it performs taking a corner. Obviously wherever this is there arent corners, but we have them in Australia.


Is that why you Aussies are always ahead of the curve?
