ndspinelli said...: Jason, LOL, but you're going to hell.

Our Springer Spaniel proudly brought 2 dead baby rabbits to me this morning. Not a good Mother's Day for poor mom. C'est la vie.; 5/13/12, 4:47 PM

But that's wonderful! Now you can make bunny slippers with real bunny heads. (It's a thing now.); 5/13/12, 4:51 PM

Rosalyn C. said...: That was funny and adorable.

And despite being lazy and obese, the lazy harp seal is happy and cute and he doesn't suffer from anxiety or low self esteem. No wonder the expensive yellow jacketed, expensive camera toting man is jealous. Life isn't fair!; 5/13/12, 6:19 PM
bagoh20 said...: He has a job: he's an actor, a star, and therefor probably a liberal, but it is correct that he is lazy.

He also has a jacket...that someone could steal if that damned camera wasn't around.; 5/13/12, 6:56 PM

NotWhoIUsedtoBe said...: If I'm going to be reincarnated, I'd like to be an Orca. Fuck being anything but the apex predator.

I thought the song was about the seal getting all the chicks while the camera man tries too hard.; 5/14/12, 2:41 AM
Revenant said...: Eh, humans are THE apex predators. I've tried it. It ain't all that.

I've seen the seals chilling out on the beach at Children's Cove in La Jolla. Seems like a pretty sweet deal.

Yeah, you might get eaten by a shark, but nobody lives forever.; 5/14/12, 3:05 AM
