The upside to being home sick from work -- I can join the thread!
Seriously, my sobrinos loved the elephant one.
I've also never been as large as an elephant, so.
Is there anything cuter than a baby elephant figuring out how to use her trunk? No, there is not.
Zooborns.com is the best thing on the internet. Because if we couldn't go there occasionally the rest of it, present company excepted, would kill us by degrees.
GROSS. Birth is so disgusting. I've been to both of my kids' births, and they seem to always ask the dad if he wants to cut the cord/hold the baby. No and no, thank you. Clean that thing up and get back to me.
Also, I've been to the Columbus Zoo a couple of times and that manatee tank is kind of depressing (and some frightening proportion of the zoo-goers are so obese they can barely walk).
In summary, this post highlights not only what's wrong with America, but with life itself.
THANKS, WITT.
I misremembered: they didn't ask me for the first one, because the cord was around his little blue neck. Triggering! THANKS, WITT.
Billy Ruben was the worst. That's all I remember.
Trigger warnings are so prepeotus.
7 will inevitably be taken out of context during Witt's eventual political career. "Witt: Bad for America, bad for life."
I was going to post something about the wittle fetus funeral laws going into effect, but it's just so dumb and terrible that I can't.
Never seen anyone so excited to talk about two orphaned manatees.
Apparently, we're too derivative.
Moby or the other person responsible for 15 is my hero.
7: shiv had to be talked into cutting the cord both times. "Look, it's the doctor's job. I don't want her coming to my worksite and messing up with my tools. Isn't it rude for me to cut the cord?"
That thing where you think "wow if I ever lived through [insert horrific historical event] I suppose I'd find out what's really at the core of my character" and then it turns out I can spend sn astonishing amount of time hunting down awesome deals on second hand clothes. Bagged a super vintage chanel skirt for a song the other day tho.

This. Maybe Trump can make America great again by bringing back men waiting in the hall like the 50's.
Men waiting in the hall like in the 50s. Women with Princess Di-hair like in the 80s.
I wonder if Trump isn't going to bring back the 80s? On the one hand, please dear God no. On the other hand, at the time I was intrigued by women with giant shoulder pads, but too young to have fully appreciated the aesthetic.

ME TOO. Also buying presents for my friends.
Can we soothe me by having a dedicated thread about "That thing where you think 'wow if I ever lived through [insert horrific historical event] I suppose I'd find out what's really at the core of my character'"? I am suddenly vividly remembering what it was like to get no work done in college at all after Bush v. Gore came through. I couldn't bring myself to care even a little bit about term papers.

Counterpoint, excellent video. Every bit as enjoyable as the cutest possible animals, which are baby otters.
It would have been nice to have lived through a historic period. I think I would have done really well at a Morganatic marriage, but never got the chance.
I've also always wanted to entail something.
25 I hear you loud and clear. Was in grad school during the Bush v. Gore thing. Didn't sleep the month of the recount and didn't get any work done. Feeling much the same now.
Still 5 days away from Granddaughter Day.
The signals seem to be that it'll run a little over, which is totally saving my butt, since I'll be out of town, coming back 2 days after X day.
Not much for grandpa to do anyway, really.
You don't want them to wait too long or they swallow their own poop.
I mean, I meant to say what Thorn said because that's the kind of thing somebody sane would say.
Meconium, Meconium. Me máxima conium
Say, did everyone already know about Hugo & Ines?

The truth finally comes out - Moby is in fact a giant rabbit.
I guess knowing old timey slang would have let me guess that regardless.
26: OMFG. My workplace here moved offices a few months ago, and these little wizened 50-something men picked up entire fucking bookcases and refrigerators and shit and carried them on their backs like they were just dead sea otters or something. Then they installed a massive AC unit in the ceiling of a double-volume room and just set up two stepladders side by side and walked up them carrying a fucking AC unit with their bare hands and lifted it directly over their heads to get to the bracket thingies. I'm hyperventilating just thinking about it.
I've never seen a dead sea otter lift anything.
OT: I'm training my son to participate in a consumer society, but to do so only half-assedly. In other words, he's getting a Chromebook instead of an iPad. What's a good one that has a touch screen?
46: Just starting to research this myself for my girls. If I get them a Chromebook, it should be on each of the ones with access to Android apps. Also toying get with the idea of just setting them up with a Raspberry Pi, but I need to test how well the Chromium browser works with the Google apps they use for school.
