Angel ,'Shells'
Plan what to do, what to wear (you can never go wrong with a corset), and get ready for the next BuffistaCon: San Francisco, May 19-21, 2006! Everything else, go here! Swag!
I think this really is a different dragon than the first one I saw, in 1979; that one, I remember as way older and bigger.
We were on time constraints (it was catch-a-flight day), so I didn't do the nine-hour wander I could easily do. San Diego has one of the best zoos ever.

Yeah, I think they get up to about 25 years in captivity, so if the one you saw in '79 was already fully grown, I doubt he'd be around now. Oh, and I just discovered that they've come across an island subspecies of Komodo dragon that's smaller than usual, only up to about 7.5 feet long. Plus, there's a claim that the movie King Kong was originally inspired by the arrival of Komodo dragons in New York in the 1920s. Now that's cool.
Dayum, that really is cool. Nice to know, too, that my brain has not gone completely into swiss cheese; the first one I saw there was enormous, and of course, age would certainly have something to do with that.
It made me jump, but I remember I wanted one for my very own...

Yeah, a full-grown dragon is going to make an impression. When the Australian aborigines first reached Australia, there was a relative of the Komodo on the continent that grew to over 20 feet long. As big as a full-grown saltwater croc. Imagine being the first one to run into one of those.

The world would probably never know, would they? You'd be an hors d'ouvres.
I would be stoked about either. I hope nobody dies or anything catastrophic so we can get there.
erika, you'll get there if I have to drive there and get you guys. We've got a crew of people wanting to make sure.
You've got a posse, yo.
I'm not going to press or push, but - keep it open, please? It would be so much cooler if you guys were here.
I will do the same and feel the same about you being there. I will do anything I can to help get ya'll down there if it proves possible a little closer to the dates. We could let Em and Lily loose on SF and see what happens!!

They would conquer through UNSTOPPABLE CUTENESS.
Or get themselves trpped in The Hole at Alcatraz.
