xoB sends along this item from the Washington Post Day in Pics: a very nice shot of a Pacific Walrus, getting some relief from the heat.

It's a coin toss whether I prefer this one of piglets getting a veggie ice lolly, at the Pennywell Farm and Wildlife centre near Buckfastleigh, south western England.

My gosh, I think that piglets with an ice lolly could quite possibly be the cutest thing known to man.

Especially when they're cow-colored.

I think the pigs are more refreshed. I think the chances that the walrus is still sweltering are pretty good, since their normal habitat includes ice floes to haul out on to rest. I seriously doubt that the water is refrigerated to that extent, or even close to it. I found articles that described walrus bearing waters at 44 deg F as "warm".

You know in this heat they're already about half done. :yum:

:lol: Only 5 posts and we're talking about eating the animals. That's about par, isn't it?

C'mon bbq pork, you were thinking it, you just have impulse control.

low and slow baby

Heh, V, your post could be in another thread, and have a totally different meaning...

Both very good meanings though.




*Kidlet has been gone for a few days at grandmas. We are making good use of our alone time ;)

Those pork chops even come with their own veggie sidedishes

I look at the pix of innocent beings who are having fun and being 'hep' (in your young-person lingo) and then read your comments and ...i ...i ...(sigh/sob) DIE, a little. You people will be dealt with! It will go on your permanent record! JANE FONDA WILL KNOW!!!

I already told her...she's bringing BBQ sauce. :p

The ice is to keep the veggies fresh until the bbq is ready.
Fuck Jane Fonda.

Eating BBQ and fucking Jane Fonda. Sounds like a pretty decent afternoon's entertainment to me.

I wouldn't fuck Jane Fonda even if it would save the free world.

Actually, I might run her down, back over her a couple times to make sure she was well and truly fucked, and then go on with my day.

(Not only do I have a number of friends who are Vietnam Vets, but I had an unfortunate incident involving her first workout video and a pair of spandex leggings that she absolutely deserves payback for.)
