yamamanama53 days until the vernal equinox
I was going to go to the MFA but it was a horrible icy mess. What we got was some snow and the rain to turn it into a morass and then a deep freeze to turn that into a mirrored morass. Then it rained and I’m sure that any snow piles that survived this are going to be with us until Saint Iocus’ Day. We used this as an opportunity to release a gull. Honestly, I'd rather see the owls leave. Leah would be happy to see that they're in the wild and the guinea pigs they eat reek of fermentation and death.
We have a goose who apparently ate an entire shotgun shell. We don’t want to go through surgery because getting around their air sacs is a pain and going through their air sacs just means they’ll be staying with us for some time more, so we thought we’d tilt the surgery table forward and pour water into their ventriculus via funnel and tube, and all that crud would just fall out of his mouth and into a bucket and make the room reek of the sea and death. It didn’t work as well as we thought, but at least I learned that geese can honk even when unconscious.
We have a new red-tailed hawk with a broken wing.
Skyla had a chameleon and a true fire skink, the “fire” I can understand because it has red and black and orange markings and white spots, but the true I don’t understand. I think it’s because there are similar skinks in southeast Asia. They aren't her pets; she just has three dogs.
I learned that if you are extremely unethical, a baby chimp can be bought on the black market for $12,500. No matter what kind of good you think you can do, do not encourage them.
Ashley has rats. I’d like to point out two things: I’ve been listening to Helium a lot lately and I should point out right now that anyone I mention named Ashley in the foreseeable future is not that Ashley unless I say otherwise. Ashley has dark hair and glasses.
Kerri has three ferrets. Ringo, Paul, and Sammy!? Why Sammy? Because that was the name he had when they got him.
We have three barred owls. One of them was in an owl burrito, says one of the two new (one is completely new and has silver hair, one of them is new to me and has a pierced philtrum (I had to look that up). I'm blanking on their names but I want to say Marissa) interns.
Someone on 4chan decided they’d try to correlate a women’s weight to their taste in music. Although the only thing I can find is that someone on 4chan decided to correlate a women’s weight to their taste in music. I have no idea what their sample size was or methodology, nor do I have any idea why anyone would want to do this.
That’s a lie. I did learn that Google Image Search is fucking useless. Also, there's a site out there that seems to just aggregate discusions from other sites and forces you to turn off ad blockers if you want to browse it, and while, yes, there are a few legitimate sites that do that, that comes off as really sketchy to me.
burning question: who do you think would win in a fight between Plantman and Spoonman?
