7/21/2006: Pacific walrus, pigs beat the heat

Undertoad · 07-21-2006, 10:51 AM

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.

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.

BigV · 07-21-2006, 02:32 PM

low and slow baby

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

Both very good meanings though.

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.)
