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.
Could just be a hoax, though. I fake some headaches, everyone gets used to poor helpless Spike. Then one day, no warning, I snap a spine, bend a head back, drain 'em dry. Brilliant.

I'm boggled by tommyrot's link -- both by the idea Koko has a sordid nipple fetish, and by the fact some of her keepers apparently decided to indulge it. I mean, even with a cat you can say, "just because you want it doesn't mean you're going to get it," so I'm sure a gorilla with a thousand-word vocabulary would grasp the concept. (if not the nipples.)

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I needed to see that again ...

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Somehow I doubt it's actually Koko with the nipple fetish.

You're probably right, but the idea of a gorilla signing "show me your tits" like a drunken Gallaudet frat boy is comedy GOLD.
(I don't think sexual harassment is funny, of course, but I can bend that a little if it involves an ape.)

The topic just begs for out of context quotations and strange qualification.

OK, so I just went to an online ASL dictionary [link] and the sign for nipple seems pretty precise for a gorilla. Maybe Koko was doing Isaac Your Bartender, not nipples?

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
"There's a history with this nipple thing," he said, leafing through the transcript and pointing out the word "nipple" -- which he'd highlighted in pink -- each time it appeared.
Is it just me, or is the fact that the guy used a pink highlighter for this a little weird?
The suit says the two women, who never did undress, also worked unpaid overtime and faced unsanitary conditions, including gorilla urine stored in the refrigerator where they kept their lunches, rodents in the food preparation area and exposed wires.
I wonder if gorilla urine smells as bad as wombat urine. Is ND around? </Bitches reference>

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
now, if we'll ever remember to bring the tape? separate issue.
Heh. I keep forgetting I don't have a working vcr. Neber mind, but thanks!
When? When did that happen? Does that mean you have to move? Details, please.
I interviewed a week ago monday (the 14th), got offered the job that Thursday, and accepted it on Monday. I will need to move, since Palo Alto is just outside of San Francisco. I start there April 18th if I can, April 25th if not. Meep.
