The video is about an hour long. I guarantee it is worth it. You will not want your hour back.

I'll watch it later tonite, gotta finish some trim work at the in laws place.

Here's zoological funny, courtesy of the National Zoo. When I was there many years ago, I walked into the monkey exhibit and stood in the back and watched the monkeys throwing turds through the bars at the astonished and horrified audience of assholes who were throwing peanuts at the monkeys.

Too bad the zoo saw fit to install plexiglass on the monkey's side of the bars. I'll bet they have to hose down the wall of plexiglass on a daily basis but the monkeys probably have a better diet for it. I guess the peanut vendor didn't have a good enough lobbyist.

Sorry for the threadcrap, Ed. ;^)

It's all good.

I'm feeling clean now. As if I just showered all the Ayn Rand stink out of my hair.

Ahhhh.
