How am I supposed to go TAB anything else?? LOL They, the toe beans and the clouded leopards attached to them, are entirely too cute to scroll on by and bye. They really, really are, thank you for the find, and I look forward to reading more about the newly introduced 'betrothed' youngsters.
The monkeys I saw in Rajasthan were not cute and suitable for pets. They were big, with sharp teeth, and very aggressive, especially the males. They also carry rabies.
There were signs saying Please Do Not Feed, but the tourists ignored them. As a result, the crowds of monkeys increased, which in turn attracted tigers and bears from the mountain forests. Sometimes the predators decided it was easier to catch a villager, often a child. We were constantly warned not to leave the compound alone, especially at night.
Please don't give wild animals human food. It isn't good for them.
And don't keep them as pets. Someone will get hurt, and the animal will be blamed and likely put down.
The Monkey is a 2025 American dark comedy horror film based on Stephen King's 1980 short story. The film follows twin brothers whose lives are turned upside down by a cursed toy monkey that causes random horrific deaths around them.
HBO Max is doing a spin-off of The Big Bang Theory called Stuart Fails To Save the Universe.
It takes place after the end of the series.
Stuart accidently activates a device Leonard and Sheldon invent that causes Armageddon across the multiverse and must fix it with the help of his girlfriend, Bert the Geologist, and Barry Kripke.
While OUTRE MER another G.I. somehow got a SPIDER MONKEY! I didn't like the damn thing and I knew it didn't like me! We pretty much managed to avoid each other though. I was away for a couple days for additional training. I learned later that the little demon got loose! It climbed up on the front of a microwave feedhorn. (10'000 watts!) Of coursed no one else wanted to go get it so it got cooked! Never missed it at all.
Maybe I was too sleepy to grasp it but the Hemmings were robbed and then the other people basically stole their house? I just was not following for some reason.
Erry lefty knows that you don't just shook up an ice building. You burn it down with all aboard. Then you sit in the smoking crater and chisel every fucking brick into dust while smoking slim jims. Fucking amateurs....
If length if time one's ancestors have been in America defines how "American" one is I guess that makes the American Indians the most American of them all. Followed by Hispanic who inhabited the American Southwest long before whites invaded. Then comes the slave descended Blacks. The Irish, Italians, Polish, Hungarians, etc are interlopers of recent descent and thus, according to JD Vance (if that is his real name) prime candidates for remigrations.
Can I rant here about Zion National Park? I am very excited to find out that they replaced the old shuttle and now have an electric vehicle, that is a fine thing. BUT this wilderness seems to have been turned into a Disney land, which I suspect is because it is too close to I-15, straight up from Las Vegas.
There are basically only 3 roads in it, one of which, to see the best formations, can only be accessed by the shuttle. And you have to make a reservation to get on it months in advance.
So, without the reservation and taking a chance since we were there during the "low season," we went to the park. The charge is $40 per car unless you have a Senior Pass or a Military Pass, then you just get in the bumper-to-bumper line and good luck trying to make stops at any of the scenic viewpoints.
Then, you arrive at the visitor center. OMG it is a huge maze of a parking lot, with a big hotel across the street, and a giant shop of course. People are milling about everywhere, mostly wearing short shorts and flip flops. You realize that you actually won't see very much in the way of "nature" unless you get far, far from the circus and do some serious hiking. The main road is sadly just an expensive toll road between US 89 to I-15.
I am an Old, very nostalgic that once upon a time I had been able to visit the park and take the drive myself through the Scenic Canyon, back when there was none of this commercialization and no corporate "partners" running everything.

I want to fondle those paws.
I love how they're slap fighting at the end. Big cats are just cats but bigger. I'd bet they'd sits in the box if they fits.

Lions and tigers in boxes, oh my!
Toe beans, hell; look at those FANGS!
Saw the toe beans on the cat and thought
I think that is an oc-e-lot
It's coat was only lightly peppered
In the fashion of a clouded leopard
You went through an ocelot of trouble to come up with that poem, eh? 😸
"The Clouded Leopard Toe-Beans" is the name of my new alt-twee-cuddlecore Belle and Sebastian/Moldy Peaches cover band.
Set list pls.
We do a bang-up cover of Tiny Tim's "Tip-Toe Through the Tulips."
Could you and the band play FAR-FAR-AWAY?
I admit, I too want to bite that little paw!

I had hoped they'd be eating the faces of that other party.
I couldn't sentence such a beautiful pair to such terrible food, LOL
Nice kitty Martini 😺
Big sharp teeth! I would not take the chance on kitty belly rubs. Tempting but... nope.
What a breathtaking 'lil beastie.
Why can't I have a couple of those? 😻
Because the stabbers.
Young Danny is justly proud, those are spectacular toe beans!
F1, the intense form of house Kitteh, just like the racing!
Oh! Is actually Face Eating Clouded Kitteh!
🎶 Beans beans beans beans eating Danny’s beans 🎶
Beanz!
MURDER KITTY TOE BEANS! I will give him all the snuggles!

I assume I can't have my own leopard cub, life is cruel.
I just had to stop by and say TOE BEANS!
i wanna monkey butler, not some freeloading primate.
I'm sorry, but this just sounds pathetic to me.

HATED The Salt Path when I read it a few years ago and just didn't believe the hard luck story. Not surprised in the least.

Would smoking BLIND ROBINS be a good substitute if I'm out of the JIMs
Well, I am not a lawyer, but...FUCK YEAH!

Hey! Quit trying to ruin their perfectly cromulent white supremacy with your stupid "logic" and "facts"!

"I hadn’t even heard that 10 presumed lefties came in body armor to ambush and shoot up an ICE facility in Texas on the Fourth of July."
I'm on a Bible kick today. Turns out there's a lot of good stuff in there! Like in Matthew 26:52 -
"Then Jesus said to him, “Put the sword back into its place. All those who use the sword will die by the sword."
That Jesus, he was one smart guy. Too bad Christian Nationalists don't follow his teachings.
bluesky troll broke that story for me. then i blocked him.
Jesus? Don't know him
If it is the same person he could bring his taco truck by any time! I like the hard corn shell the best!
Or, conversely for the live (even better) version of that song....
"Haven't you always wanted a mon-KEY?!"
