Oh Billytea! We had a sign (ok, it was the back of a flyer, but...) all ready for Iris to hold at the Cape May Zoo that said 'thx for the tip Billytea & Miss Havisham!' But then she fell asleep on the road to the zoo (we were going on the way home) and we took the opportunity to drive in peace. As we were rounding the 76 curve past the boathouses in Philly? She wakes up and the first thing she says is "Zoo! We need to go to the zoo!"
Everybody dies, Tracey. Someone's carrying a bullet for you right now, doesn't even know it. The trick is to die of old age before it finds you.

Spike's Bitches 41: Thrown together to stand against the forces of darkness
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

"Fuck Western ideologically-motivated gender identification!" Sulu gasped, and came.
Teppy, I realise that I shouldn't find your situation hilarious - and I don't, entirely, I mean I'm very cross with UselessFuckwitFriendGuy, and frustrated by The Boy, and nervous about how this is all going to unfold for you - but, also, I do find it kind of hilarious. Or at least your account of it. The OMGWTFFishtank? image made me hoot with laughter. And the notion of Jihad!Dalmatian is hifuckinglarious. Never mind The Twilight Barking - we're talking HARDCORE canine nefarious organisational skills.

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

Aww. So disappointing. I'm assuming here that you didn't immediately turn around and go back, or take her to Philly Zoo, which has giant otters and the record for longest-lived echidna in captivity (48 years). IIRC, it's the oldest zoo in the US.

We love the Philly Zoo. [link] haz membership. The giant otters are really amazing. I need to find the echidna again. Man, I wish the R8 train still stopped there.

Indeed. It's in the nocturnal animals exhibit, IIRC, which can make its appearances a little haphazard. (Obviously, this is a different echidna from the deceased record-holder.)

Because books.
The Philadelphia Zoo is my very favorite! It's awesome.
Fay's "twilight bark" reference made me snort cereal-milk. And jihad!Dalmation is cracking me up.

See, obviously, the solution is for Teppy to come to Vermont for 10 days. (Tom and I were just talking about hoping you were coming up again someday soon)

I like the way Nora thinks!

It's even funnier when you know how totally dumb she is the rest of the time. It's like whatever meagre intelligence she possesses has been focused and channeled into a blood oath against Guest Dog.
And Guest Dog is part mastiff (or, as I suspect, pit bull). Which means that the dalmatian is going to get severely hurt if she doesn't stop the thuggery.

The Boy and I are going to try for late September/early October, b/c he's never been to Vermont, so I figure his first time should be during Leaf Season.
