Today was a beautiful day, as warm as a cat’s dream on a window sill, not too humid with a bright blue sky. It’s a nice change from the miserable wring-the-moisture-right-out-of-the-air kind of swampy nastiness we’ve been having since I arrived. It promises to be this way all week long.

It was a wonderful day to end up completely unexpectedly at the National Zoo. (I guess that gives away my “undisclosed location on the east coast.” Oops.) A friend picked me up at my house and we went exploring the town. At the zoo, we came across a diagram of the panda gestation process, and the first step in the process just looked so charming I thought I’d share:

Ha ha ha ... that was almost too funny!!! I must complement you on your vivid description of your beautiful morning and congradulate you on your great zoo-day-picking skills ... which, by the way, confirmed to me that I am the worst day-picker for a trip to the zoo ... yeah, my zoo-day "goody-package" comes stuffed with the curses of the gods above!!!
Oh yes, about the pandas ... to imagine that city officials authorize pandas to copulate freely in public ... hey! No fair! Endangered species ought to get a room too, you know!!!! But anyways, jokes aside, it is pretty scary that innocent, cute little pandas that are supposed to attract the little ones' attention are intentionally or inintentionally (let's give the guys the benefit of the doubt) constructed to explicitly display obvious acts of coitus. This is in line with TV adverisements where they insert flash scenes/clips of male and female genitalia, and major animation companies which insert sexual implications in childrens' animation movies (hasn't everyone heard of the word "SEX" written in the clouds in ... wait a minute, I am not sure if it is Alladin or the Lion King ... but you get what I am getting at)Oh! What's the world coming to?

"I really wanted to put a bullet between the eyes of every endangered panda that wouldn't screw to save its species and every whale or dolphin that gave up and ran itself aground."

When one quotes a source, shouldn’t one mention the source being quoted? I’ll let it slide this time, but there do exist certain minimum standards necessary to maintain the intellectual integrity of this forum. I’m sure you understand.

a) i watched the movie WITH YOU. so i expect you to be able to at least sort of recognize it;
b) the first rule of quoting is, you don't talk about who you're quoting HINT;
c) google is your friend

oh yeah. heh.
