Stalking the wild Ryan in Bitches:
JZ - I love the Ryan stories. We don't get nearly enough of them (it's almost as if you're off spending your time actually interacting with him or something).
billytea - Actually, I've constructed a hide in his playpen so I can observe him in his natural habitat. To date, he seems to have accepted that giant stuffed pandas are just supposed to have binoculars protruding from their midriff, but I can say that the hides used for the Attenborough specials don't run such a risk of cuddles.
Miracleman - ...the wild Ryan, in its natural surroundings, is truly breathtaking to behold. Note the total confidence, the unconcerned manner in which it lolls on its bwankie. This creature is totally in command of its environment.
...Jim is now going to try to get a little closer to the Ryan. Go ahead, Jim. Jim, just go. Go! Jim is creeping closer to the Ryan. We are confident that, though the Ryan can be dangerous, Jim is entirely protected by his fwuffy teddy beaw camouflage.
That's it, Jim. That's...oh, God. Oh, GOD! JIM! Look out! Oh, Lord, it's got him! It's...oh, it's too horrible...it's SNUGGLING Jim, it's...I can't look...
...Oh, the drool! THE DROOL! OH, GOD!
We'll return to Mutual of Omaha's Wild Kingdom after these messages...
