I'm obsessed with the olympics. It's a disease.
That's not what making out sounds like -- unless I'm doing it wrong?

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
And awesome too.
Would the bat be able to identify the calls, or would it merely respond to any froglike sound? We could hardly contain our excitement when the bat immediately flew to the speaker playing the call of the edible frog. It landed and tried to pry its way through the screen covering of our speaker box.
I have decided I am pro-bat.
Plus they had trained bats! Sorry frogs, the mammals win this time.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica
So, if I was going to write a bat pirate filk (Fifteen Men on a Dead Man's Chest), would this sound ridic?
Fifteen bats on a driftwood boat,
Yo ho ho and a tasty green frog!
We can't sing but we surely can float,
Yo ho ho and a tasty green frog!

Allyson, this made me smile.
What a great way to start my day.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
That's some quality slounging.

Tomorrow we are performing an experiment to see what is funnier when it hits the sidewalk from the patio: A coconut, a papaya, a kiwi, a mango, or a plantain.
We need Sam to sink the pirate ship with an aerial assault.
I say A) he can't lift a coconut (even though he has a friend helping) and B) coconuts don't grow on the Canary Islands.
I also say that papayas are inherently more funny and less cliche than coconuts.
So a couple of the engineers have agreed to help with my experiment and judge which fruit is funnier when it hits the ground.
Problem: I cannot find a coconut ANYWHERE. Everyone has the meat, but no whole coconuts.
I have everything else. I think this is an anti-coconut sign.

Did you know that bats pollinate the agave plant and eat the pests that would wipe them out?
Without bats, there'd be no tequilla.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
WTF, Elfie?

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
YAY Bats!
