Gimli 4 the West said...: To think millions of people live with the snake in their back yard everyday. It must be fun for them to listen to the fear and panic of the tough New Yorkers. Maybe like I would enjoy a story of panicked Germans following a jar full of black widows that got knocked over in Berlin.; 3/31/11, 7:22 PM

Really? She'd just better not pull any disappearing stunts like Trooper York once did. Can you imagine how many comments she get? I'd guess in the thousands easily.; 3/31/11, 8:27 PM

YoungHegelian said...: Oh right, like that poor snake was going anywhere, what with the outdoor temperatures in NYC over the past few days!

It sure sucks to be cold-blooded in late winter in NYC. The only place that snake was going was into a coma if it left the reptile house.; 3/31/11, 11:42 PM
