And now my boy's in love. All hearts and flowers. But, doesn't it freak you out that she used to change your diapers? I mean, when you think about it, the first woman you boned is the closest thing you've ever had to a mother. Doing your mom and trying to kill your dad. Hm. There should be a play.

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?

You wouldn't happen to know the species, would you?

According to the zoo's web site, they have Humboldt penguins. I didn't see any other species listed, so I guess that must be it.

OK, that kid? Has the best story ever. I hope he grows up to be a zoologist and care for penguins legitmately. Or be a vet. My cousin and her husband are vets up at an Air Force base in Washington state and he (working for the AF) gets quite a few exotics. Probably no penguins, though. They are both glad of their surgical intern-trips to China. They got to deal with a lot of exotics. Including pandas!

I'm taping Private Practice and watching (distractedly while I'm at the computer) Ramsey's Kitchen Nightmares.

Shrift, those glasses really look hot on you. Not that I get a vote, but I really approve of your choice.

Thank you kindly!

I hate to burst y'alls penguin stealing bubble, but that story is an urban legend. I would have believed it myself, if I hadn't heard it before:

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

Ah, excellent. Thanks.

I know! I feel like I just told you that there was no Santa.

So my parents arrived in town today to visit my uncle, who had cancer surgery yesterday. I met them after work and we went to a Greek place near the hospital for supper. And who should be sitting in the booth beside us? My parent's neighbors from my hometown. Who were up visiting a friend in the hospital and were out to supper with their daughter.

Awww.... my coworker told it to me like the teacher he heard it from was the teacher on the field trip. I guess not. Bubble sufficiently burst
