So what will I find around this site? The site has three main areas; navigation icons appear throughout the site: The OPIEDATA is the official record of the Project. This icon takes you to a Hall of Fame Gallery. It features selected video captures of Opie’s pets This icon takes you to a log detailing all the Project’s animals. This area is updated whenever a critter is returned to its habitat. This icon will take you to OpieWorld. Includes pictures and descriptions of important landmarks within Opie's territorial perimeter. This icon is located on the welcome page when you first enter, and it is updated every day with new photos, birthday greetings, links to newly-updated pages and general nonsense. This icon takes you to the Foo (Friends Of Opie) Portrait Gallery, where you can ponder the precocious pets that have frequented this site. Instructions for submitting your own furry friends to this prestigious part of the Project are included.   The PERTINENT INFO provides biographical data on the project’s charter members. This area is updated infrequently, when the occasional interesting tidbit comes to light. These icons takes you to the bio pages, and are only accessible from the notes pages (and here). They are (by color) Husband (green), Wife (yellow), and Cats (Orange)..   The INTROSPECTION areas feature the members’ comments on the project and include facts, opinions and random babbling, During slow periods the random babbling can become excessive. This icon takes you to the Cats' notes. The Cats are observers of the human condition. This icon takes you to the Wife's notes. The Wife's writing is free form - depends on her mood du jour. This icon takes you to the Husband's notes. The Husband keeps notes in standard journal form; seems to think it's important. The notes can have very differing opinions on the same event. These areas are updated approximately weekly (five times a month). You can view previous entries going back one year. The members tend to store unrelated files in random areas on the site as well, and these are accessible only through hidden links. If you are unable to locate these links, don’t worry; most of the hidden files can only be appreciated by the truly esoteric internet surfers, and the files change so often it's hard to keep track of what's there anyway. Where do I send e-mail? Click on the e-mail link that appears on each page of PERTINENT INFO or INTROSPECTION (the mail will go to whichever member’s page is up at the time). Or use the following addresses: The Husband: The Wife: The Big Cat: The Little Cat: Husband@opieproject.com Wife@opieproject.com Opie@opieproject.com cc@opieproject.com All e-mail will be read. Flamers and other dorks will be ignored. Responses will be made according to the following schedule: Really cool, creative and inventive e-mails will be responded to first. Sincere, honest and friendly e-mails will be responded to second. The mundane (“Saw your site, write”) will get a mundane response, eventually. Non-constructive pissers and moaners will get a form letter. Some day. Flamers will get what they deserve, if there is a God. Oh, yeah will bring you back here. Anytime. Just what is the O.P.I.E. Project? Opie began to bring home pets shortly after he discovered the woods. At first they were mice, but soon followed birds, frogs, toads, rabbits, and, on one occasion, a snake. None of these animals was harmed in any way. He just liked to watch them scurry around the house. The Husband and Wife were less amused. Locating, trapping and releasing Opie's pets became a major project (hence the name). A plan was devised for dealing with the influx of visitors, and the Project was born. See the OpieLog for details. How does Opie get them into the house? Opie has his own door at the back of the house so he can come and go as he pleases, without having to bother the Husband or Wife to be let in or out. Why not just block off his door? Opie has agreed that if he has free access to the outdoors, he will do his business there and not require a litterbox indoors. That’s worth any other aggravation. Also, this website would otherwise serve no purpose. Why doesn't Opie harm these animals? Dunno. He's been neutered; perhaps some ancient parenting instinct was triggered. He treats them like they were his kittens. He's very gentle with them. What part does c.c. play? c.c arrived after the Opie Project was well under way. She is an apprentice, sidekick, and observer. Her role is to learn from Opie. Her ultimate contribution to the Project is still unknown at this time. Wanna take the official Opie Survey?
