So we didn’t go to Nashville Thursday because Liz was still jet-lagged, so we hung around the house, watched some crappy movies, went out to lunch, came home, and watched more movies. It was fun, actually, just hanging out. Yesterday morning we did go to Nashville, and you KNOW I took a ton of pictures for your perusal. Because I love you! First we went to the Nashville Zoo. There were, oddly, not as many animals as we’d expected, but it was pretty cool anyway.
The Bamboo Path. This was cool, because the bamboo was probably 20 feet high. White bengal tiger. Here, kittykittykitty! These two were grooming each other. It was so cool I wanted to climb over the barrier and pet them. Eagle. Ring-tailed lemurs. SO cool! Some kind of big lizards. If you look closely, you can see that the one on top has a small lizard hanging out on it’s tail. LOVE the Meerkats! “Did I hear something?” Otters. After the zoo, we went to the Tennessee Titans’ stadium, where we drove around… Until we saw the Pro Shop, where we stopped and went inside. The lady working at the Pro Shop let us into the stadium so we could see the field. It was cool – Liz was pretty excited about it. And then we had lunch at the Hard Rock and walked up Broadway, looking in various stores, before leaving to drive home. At 4:15. On a Friday afternoon. Yeah, it was pretty hellish, trying to get out of Nashville.
A year ago: Fuck him, too. Two: the skinny teenage cashier got a real workout hauling that 30-pound box of litter across the scanner, believe you me Three: I see enough nasty stuff in my life. I don’t need to see it on MTV. Four: People, if I were a cartoon, I would have had a huge question mark drawn over my head at that moment.]]>

  1. Loved the pix of the zoo animals. I always feel like petting huge cats too, but…not a good idea! I think it’s a genetic impulse or something; if you love cats, you love ALL cats, I suppose. :=)

  2. C.S. – I think that part of it is that they act JUST like our cats, with the grooming each other and rolling around in the sun!

  3. I can’t believe Rupert was voted off, either. He was my favorite. I don’t normally watch reality TV, but I got sucked into Survivor this season for some reason. I’m not sure I want to watch anymore! Someone, please, for the love of everything holy, vote that idiot bastard JON off the island!

  4. Have you ever seen the movie ‘The Dangerous Lives of Alter Boys’ ?
    Its about these teenage boys going through puberty, taking risks, discovering girls, etc etc. Near the end, they go pet tigers, and one teenage boy gets his neck ripped open.
    Scary

  5. That picture of Michael Jackson looks eerily like Faye Dunaway as Joan Crawford in ‘Mommie Dearest.’ I’m just waiting for him to yell, “No wire hangers!” Creepy, no?

  6. Denise, you are so right!!
    The first thing that came to my mind when I saw his mugshot was Carol Burnett spoofing Gloria Swanson as Norma Desmond in the movie Sunset Boulevard, but you have absolutely hit the nail on the head there. No wire hangers, indeed. Creepy, yes!
    Robyn, that bamboo path picture is awesome! I would love to see that in real life. We had a white Bengal tiger named Chandar at our zoo a number of years back, but sadly, he died very unexpectedly 🙁 They are strikingly beautiful creatures.

  7. Michael Jackson is the creepiest creepy creep ever! I just get the heeby-jeebys’ everytime his name is mentioned and I get scared almost to seizures just seeing a picture of him {SHIVER}

  8. I just scared the bejeezuz out of my 5 yr old when I scrolled down and Michael Jackson’s pic came up. He asked me if he was a zombie. Every time I look at that “man”(If that is really what he is) he is even more creepy looking!!

  9. Did you notice that Rupert did NOT do a live early show interview after he was booted?? heheh
    That’s because he is currently filming SURVIVOR 8 The All Star Survivor!! We’ll get to enjoy him ONE MORE TIME! 🙂 IF you are interested Robyn, I can send you the projected cast list

  11. I hope those dumbass bastards all starve to death or start eating each other. This was the first Survivor I remained interested in after the first couple of episodes since the second series. I’m glad he’ll be back.
    The Michael Jackson thing is weird. My hubby said he thought the Jackson lawyer’s comment was interesting that the charges were ridiculous because since the scandal ten years ago, he was constantly “chaperoned” so that he was never alone with children again to prevent further accusations. It’ll be interested to see what happens with his own kids and a social services investigation.

  12. Gotta wonder how many young boys from the extended Jackson family spend the night in the same bed with “Uncle Michael.”
    My guess: None!!!
