Gorilla Foundation rocked by breast display lawsuit
Former employees say they were told to expose chests
Two former employees of the Gorilla Foundation, home to Koko the "talking" ape, have filed a lawsuit contending that they were ordered to bond with the 33-year-old female simian by displaying their breasts.
I've lived in 205, 215, and 206. Old-school area codes all the way.
What bugs me around here is that some calls to the same suburban area codes require you to dial a 1 first and others don't. Eventually you learn that the 425 for the hotel in Bellevue where your writers conference will be is local, while the 425 for the conference chair's house is long distance, but it's still annoying.
Medford? 781. Somerville, right nextdoor? 617? Boston 617? Quincy, on the other side of Boston, and further from Medford than from either Boston, or Somerville? 781. Goofy.
Of course, this is the state where Norfolk County is partly south of Suffolk County. Traditions make people do weird things.
I don't think I have ever valet parked in my life. I have disabused a couple of lifelong Angelenos that you can always get valet parking in, e.g., Washington, DC (where it is sometimes available, but more likely not), so apparently it varies widely.
Hi Nilly!
Ugh. I have no energy, at all. And I also had some very weird dreams, including one that had some Buffistas in it, but I can't remember what was going on in the dream except that we were all in a parking lot and I was trying to see if someone would give me a ride home.
When I lived in Birmingham, MI they had valet parking at the supermarket. Free. Not something I ended up making use of, because it was just weird.
Oh, and the cover of the Seattle Times today is about LA and Seattle swapping weather: [link] The website doesn't have the same visual oomph as the paper, which gives you cherry blossoms and sunshine in Seattle right beside clouds of doom over the LA skyline.
We're under a burn ban. In February. Granted, it's for pollution rather than fire risk, but still.
You want me to tape for you, ita?
Not ita, but yes. Pretty please?
Hi Nilly! Did you see the part where I am changing jobs and moving to Palo Alto?
My TiVo has accepted my recording request. I'm golden.
okay Lee. We got you covered; now, if we'll ever remember to bring the tape? separate issue.
Did you see the part where I am changing jobs and moving to Palo Alto?
No, I didn't! Congratulations! When? When did that happen? Does that mean you have to move? Details, please.
