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...

That is 125,000 gorillas too many!

Gorillas ruined my childhood!

Abbott, Tuesday, 5 August 2008 20:55 (seventeen years ago)

how'd they do that?

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.

libcrypt, Wednesday, 6 August 2008 01:06 (seventeen years ago)

Where earlier cartoons, please?
