coolness, thanx... I was thinking of getting a slightly higher model JVC player, but that site has a good selection. Have you ever ordered from them? Are they reliable?
I think I ordered something from them before, but I couldn't tell you what.
My most recent SVHS VCR is a Philips, and I think it and my current DVD player came from onecall.com
Use a good credit card and don't worry about how reliable the vendor is.
good credit... me? HAHAHA!!!
seriously though, yeah, I know... and I have credit protection and all, but all the same I'd just prefer to not have to deal with it all. I mean, if I were to get screwed I'd have to like make a phone call and talk to people and stuff... avoiding having to ever talk to people is like the whole best part of the internet.
I didn't say "the war". I said "political satire". HTH.
I know... I covered that under the "I could talk about other stuff, but that seems pointless with a war going on" category.
Don't let the media control the discourse man! Fight the power!

We got there between three and three-thirty, and left at five.

Zoo bee do bee doo

Zoos make me sad, too. But I like the monkeys, and where else can I see them? What to do? Why can't we put people in zoos instead? There are some people I would like to put in the zoo.
I hope I'm not one of them... :-)
also, I love the LJ icon. I feel like such an accomplished photographer, my work being showcased anytime you feel the need to show everyone your ass.

It really is handy to have a picture of my ass available. I'm so glad you took it.
In particular, I feel bad for the Komodo Dragon, which is like one of the most fierce hunting animals on the planet Really? I thought they relied on the startling array of horrific bacteria they carry and more or less bite an animal and wait for it to die of disease. Which makes them more or less communal hunters, whatever drops dead near you is lunch regardless of who bit it in the first place. And makes scientists curious about how the Komodos survive--cool antibiotic possibilities? Hmm.... http://www.sciam.com/article.cfm?articleID=000EFE16-865C-1CD6-B4A8809EC588EEDF&pageNumber=2&catID=2has more info. "The difficulties in observing large predators in dense vegetation turn some quantitative records into best estimates, but it is informative that one Komodo followed by Auffenberg for 81 days had only two verified kills, with no evidence for the number of unsuccessful attempts." Sumner my point was more that they move around and hunt a lot, as opposed to just sitting around in a box all day. At least that's what the sign next to the cage implied. Anyway, in any case, it just didn't look happy.
Amen to that.
The gorilla house here often has new babies, and when it does the silverbacks sit between them and the glass observation window staring at the visitors as if to say "I know I can't get to you there, but step off my territory--and god help you if the plexiglass breaks, I'll tear your arms off!". It's pretty astonishing how ferocious they are when they're going down the line making eye contact with all the visitors. And the moms just cower in the back trying to care for the kids away from prying eyes.
At least they get to go outside in the summer.
