Attention all San Diego area "peeps" who may read this board...

[Parly]

I ask you to attend the emergency leafleting at the San Diego Zoo on Saturday and/or Sunday (9:00AM-9:00PM) this weekend.

Why? They're taking 7 Swaziland elephants which were catpured in the wild and putting them in their horrible little concrete habitats. Who in hell do these people think they are? You can't just rip a highly social animal away from its families, you can't just go around tearing wild animals away from their homes and placing them in concrete habitats of all things.

Attend. Please.
Think of the elephants...

Would love to help. I live in Indio, about 160 miles from the zoo, but alas I have no way of getting over there on the weekend, as my life here is one of constant demands. I'll offer a prayer if that helps.

Ah, but at least you would help if you could.
There's some form of a conscience in that head of yours, which is always good.

It'd be good if the elephants went on a rampage and killed a bunch of people, though they'd get put down for that, which would be terrible. Still, I'd like to see them crushing their captors, then running away free and unharmed whilst I sit near by supplying the soundtrack which peaks with Andy Williams' "Born Free."

Wow. Though your passion for these beasts is admirable, your disregard for human life is appalling. Dig deeper into your heart and ask yourself just how funny you think that would be. There must be a more sensible solution, otherwise we might all just as well Make bombs and join the A.L.F.

I sure as hell hope you're using verbal irony.
I was.

But of course. I think your cause is a very worthy one. I myself find pachyderms to be the sweetest of beasts. I really hope that you go to the zoo tomorrow and TRULY make a difference. Sorry if I sounded snooty before. We all deserve life, even those who would be better off dead.

I don't think you were, Hooky. Just my opinion.
And Parly, you shouldn't use irony (verbal or otherwise) when dealing with your compatriots. You know how it f***s them up. Now behave yourself!

Re:Btw Parly, if you see The Pimple at the zoo whacking off baboons...

....tell him I said 'hi'.

*makes note about the use of irony*
Right. Gotcha.

> Now behave yourself!

Behave? Ach, that's funny.
You always did have a shining sense of humor.
Well done! Have a cookie.

Now. If you don't mind, I have an errand to run and a Zoo to get to.
If I see the Pimple whacking off baboons, I'll tell him that you said "hi" (and throw in a little something more to make it interesting).
