May be for the best. Buckie and gun shows don't mix.

I want to try Buckie.
I feel like it could solve all my problems.

Re: Tales of Home [6]
Its not so much that it solves all your problems so much as it gives you a whole load of interesting new ones.

like shall I deep-fry that 10 day old pizza I found down the back of the sofa, or shall I stagger down to toon for a fresh one, forget why I went, and start a fight with a lamp-post instead.

Re: Tales of Home [6]
When I was five or six I was utterly obsessed with lemurs. We made a big trip to the zoo in Philadephia to see some real live ones, and I brought my collection of stuffed lemurs along. My mom just posted this picture and story on FB and it brought back some fun memories.
The day we almost got kicked out of the Philadelphia Zoo
Lemurs assert their dominance by rubbing their tail underneath their armpit (where their scent glands are) and then waving their tail over their head. The Philly Zoo has a barrier free lemur exhibit, which we went to see. *Someone* thought it would be interesting to see the real lemur's reaction to a stuffed lemur. Party pooper zoo workers weren't amused, as lemur spray is apparently very similar to skunk spray.

"barrier free lemur exhibit"
Sounds cool!
Maybe after your visit the sentence should say, "The Philly Zoo had a barrier free lemur exhibit."

Re: Tales of Home [6]
Actually, I have no idea if the Philly Zoo still has that same exhibit. I don't think I've been back since then, since both the Baltimore and DC Zoos are closer.
It was a really great exhibit, though. The lemurs were on this island that was half-covered by a building (which included lemur rooms/viewing areas) but was half open air, trees and stuff, with a little patio for guests to stand on. The island was in a decent-sized artificial lake, which discouraged he lemurs from trying to escape, since they don't like water. The only bridge onto the island entered directly into the building, which you had to walk through (with multiple sets of doors) to get to the open part. But once you were there, the lemurs could and did come right up to you.

That sounds really cool. What a great thing to have experienced.

Re: Tales of Home [6]
Yeah, it was really neat.
Speaking of lemurs, though, I just saw on Facebook that the initial reason for my infatuation with them -- Zoboomafoo, the sifaka lemur co-host of the TV show of the same name -- has passed away at his home at Duke University. Clearly he had a great long life, but still.

Re: Tales of Home [6]
Fun fact: The Philadelphia Zoo prohibits feeding Buckie directly the lemurs, or putting little kilts on them.

Then what's the point of even having a lemur?
