Whoa that is excellent news! Hate to read that they're going to try to log the area but that is still a lot of gorillas.

I have a mandolin I play it all night long It makes me want to kill myself I also have a dobro Made in some mountain range Sounds like a mountain range in love But when I turn up the tone On my electric guitar I'm afraid of the dark without you close to me I went out to the forest and caught 125000 Gorillas As they ricochet round the room They remind me of your starry eyes Someone else's might not have made me so sad But this is the worst night I ever had 'cause I'm afraid of the dark without you close to me
You won't be happy with me, But give me one more chance You won't be happy anyway Why do we still live here In this repulsive town? All our friends are in New York Why do we keep shrieking, when we mean soft things? We should be whispering all the time...

Gorillas ruined my childhood!

Don't cry, Abbott you're (may history forgive my crimes) the GORILLA MY DREAMS!

I made eye contact with a gorilla at the San Diego zoo. Extended gaze with that cold, wicked beast, then crying ensued for a good 30 minutes (on my part, not the 'rilla's). This put me off of eye contact for years! Anyone who made extended eye contact with me...I'd start crying.
At age 13, in the jr high cafeteria, the vice principal told me it was against the rules to wear headphones. At this point, I wore them constantly, big ones – a defense mechanism so I could PRETEND I couldn't hear the mean things people said to me and maybe they'd knock it off, thinking I couldn't hear them. I showed him that the headphones were not attached to anything, but he did not recant on enforcing the law's letter. He stared into my eyes with his beady, steely little eyes and would not look away. As per, I started crying, and he asked why. Never being good at making up lies, I said, "You remind me of this gorilla that scare me eight years ago."
When I got home that day, my mom said, "We got a call from your vice principal today – you told him he looked like a gorilla?" I explained that, no, he reminded me of the gorilla's terrifying eye contact. She said, "You really need to get over that."

I really wish Abbott would draw some more cartoons about her life. She's a great artist and has an absolute knack for storytelling.
