Peeves Make Great Pets
And anybody can have one, irregardless of zoning laws or apartment leases. The care and feeding of a peeve can be cheap and easy, or costly and complex, depending on one's predilection. Fortunately, there is no Society for the Ethical Treatment of Peeves (SETP). And you can disown a peeve at any time and no one will report you to the Pet Gestapo. Much like cats, though, peeves sometimes have a mind of their own and seem to resist any form of behavior modification.
Peeves are available in a variety of genus, species, breed, and mutation, most of which are rather harmless. Here are some of my favorites:
Peevus Linguistica
Accordians and Pleiadians (partially complete)

More to come . . . (someday)
About the hyperlinks on these webpages . . .
Most of the underlining was removed because it is too distracting within the body of a paragraph, although the color coding was retained to make the links easy to spot.
Although the unvisited links are the same color as many of the headings, the headings themselves are not links.
Some of the banner images at the top of the pages are clickable.
Links to glossary entries within paragraph text are not visible unless you move the mouse pointer over them. The pointer should change to a hand and the text color should also change (assuming a sufficiently current browser). These are terms that most readers are likely to be familiar with and thus didn't warrant being highlighted as an obvious link. Think of these hidden glossary links as a bonus for people who like to look up the definitions of words they are curious about.
