I'm a biologist- though I do hug trees, I am not a tree-hugger. I enjoy photography, my bearded collie Benson, and other such things...

Recent Comments from purple banana

Comment on Osama - makes total sense
I believe they've killed Osama. Whether or not it was in 2006 or just last week, I don't know, and I don't think we'll ever know. What I am certain of is that body they dumped in the ocean was not Osama's. To spend so many years finding this man, and within 3 days of finding him, they get rid of the body? I find that laughable that the administration even put that out there- even as lip service to the radical Islamists. He's sitting in a Coleman cooler somewhere in Quanitco, mixed with cans of Coke Zero and Fresca.
Comment on Mom and her litter
Weimaraner? The face is unmistakable, but the color looks a little off, they're usually a dusky kind of grey.
Comment on not really in the mood
Thank god my man is like me. We don't go at it less than eight times in a week for three years, and it's always amazing. I feel bad for our roommate :\
Comment on swine flu
Actually, AIDS deaths are caused not by AIDS, but by a pathogen that your body could normal fight off, but is unable to because AIDS has depleted your immune response. RIGHT ON though for the H1N1 complications being the cause of death. Most people don't realize that.
Comment on That's no RPG! That's a Canon!
The way they were hovering around wounded Saeed like fucking vultures, just BEGGING permission to shoot... Fucking dicks.

   Very impressive though – I’m not too interested in insects unless they do something pretty unique, but these are really perculiar/interesting.

   The pics are cute, but then I think:
   “Those poor bastards are all dead.”
   That said, I’m totally okay with stunning a fly, trying a string to it, and walking around with a fly kite.

     My neighbor taught me how to do string a bee when I was seven. She was a very lonely old lady. Reminded me of that neighbor in Beethoven singing Lady Marmalade.

     With certain wasps, it’s very easy to tie the string around the tiny pinch between the abdomen and thorax, but they get pretty pissed.

   As beautiful as these pics look and as a person who contracted viral meningitis from a bite many years ago all I see and can say when looking at these pics is “Fucking Mosquitoes!”

   They have to be just horrendous, yes?

   No! There were no mosquitoes here. Lots of ticks, though. I got Lyme disease again this summer, but it was worth it.

   This is Swallow Falls (lol) State Park in western Maryland…

   We had a mother black bear and her cubs come by our campsite every night around 5:30, just sit there and stare. It was wonderful.

    @etad52 Nah, no naked-ness as a Naturalist, it’s basically an outdoor educator but with a more fun title.

    @dieantagonista Most certainly- is there an email I can send them to?

    @Tiki We were armed with KNOWLEDGE. Also, we had a bunch of blades, and a lot of the kids we were working with are from West Baltimore, so god knows what kind of shit they smuggled out there… We had two stabbings this summer within our campers.

    Damn. For a second there I thought that fourth picture was a bridge and thought “My, what a wonderful summer cottage that would make. No sign of goats either.”

    Don’t know about bears that end of the USA, but the bears here in New Mexico (personal experience with the brown that lives out at the ranch)is that it will run away from a noisy ape. And won’t stick around a bunch of quiet ones standing around watching it.

   Hmmmm not much surf. Sorry I live in California so whenever I see the beach I think of waves first. Otherwise cool boardwalk. We have on in my town too. It’s a 102 years old. I was there during their Centennial celebration. They showed The Lost Boys on a screen on the beach. The Lost Boys was filmed on the boardwalk. Was so surreal and awesome. The sequels suck. Wow tangent.

       What makes you think that I think Maryland doesn’t have problems like other cities too? I’m from Europe and I’m putting together a list of specific places I want to visit when I go to America, I never said that they had to be all perfect, problem-free places. Also, a place with problems can still be beautiful. Don’t be destroying my dreams people.

         As a Baltimoron, I can attest that Baltimore has a lot of violence. I’ve lived all over the state, from Baltimore, Harford county, Ocean City, etc.

         I can tell you right now that 99% of the crime in Baltimore is contained in West Baltimore, where no one but drug dealers and gang bangers live, and 99% of the crime is gang on gang crime. I’ve walked in downtown Baltimore countless times, alone, with friends, and as long as you stay in the right places, you’re fine.

         Western Maryland and Ocean City are faaaar from Baltimore, anyway. Baltimore has a lot of great bars, like in Fells Point, near the Harbor, Federal Hill, shit- even Elicott City has some nice breweries. I will be your tour guide, Die! Can anyone say bar crawl and drunk camping? Hell yes.

         That’s my mom and dog in the last picture, poor thing was freezing his ass off.

           My favorite part of Baltimore is Fell’s Point. For some reason I’ve never been to Ocean City. It’s the closest beach to me, but I keep ending up somewhere else, Jersey Shore, Virginia and the Carolinas.

           Bar crawl and drunk camping! Haha wow, yeah that sounds undoubtedly good to me. I’m feeling honoured too, I’ll let you know for sure.

           Also I honestly don’t know much about any kind of gangster places, the only thing that comes close are maybe a couple of poor European villages I’ve been too but that’s it. So naturally I’m naive about it, but that’s not how I want to travel, picking out only places that have no flaws. I’m going to have to read up on some Baltimore history now.

   It’s a nice place to hang out in the winter; I lived there for about seven years. Waking up at 9am, riding your bike down to Layton’s to get a nice breakfast, then walking on the beach with your dogs. We used to live on 26th street, bayside, we had a canal, our own boat… Used to go out to Assateague and just chill with the wild ponies.

   It’s certainly not California, but I love it regardless.

   18 year old drunk chicks come down the week after school’s out for Senior Week, though a lot more than HS seniors come down. Basically turns Ocean City from a semi-populated place to a fuckin’ party bus. Drunk people everywhere.

   The fox had lost his mate about two weeks before, he was so depressed. Fennecs mate for life, and I think he was about eight years old. They said he was coping a bit better, but it makes me sad to think of something so adorable looking so depressed.

AKA The Firefox Star. It\’s in the constellation Monoceros about 20,000 light years from our Sun.

According to Wikipedia: The star experienced a major outburst that was observed in early 2002. Originally believed to be a typical nova eruption, it was then realized to be something completely different. The reason for the outburst is still uncertain, but several theories have been put forward, including an eruption related to stellar death processes and a merger of a binary star or planets.

    @SouthernOracle: I definitely don’t want one and quite a few of my friends also don’t. That’s ok, we’ll balance out with the friends of mine who have many…yeesh.

    Ironically, I’m childless by choice. It’s not that I hate kids, it’s just… Yeah…

    Convenience parking for moms with strollers means there’s less chance that your non-attention-paying ass will back out of your parking spot and over a stroller that a mom is pushing.

    @kezia347: I have the opposite experience. I am easily a decade younger than all the other parents. I took my son to his best friend’s bday party. None of the parents had met me before since I’m the weekend parent… and they thought I was his big sister. lol! (I’m 33 and he’s 11)

    @AliceH: Ugh I can’t stand those spots at Target… Pregnancy is not a disease, and people shouldn’t treat it as such. If there is no available parking spaces left, I take the OB spots. If my mom can give birth to six kids, all within one year of each other, and be able to handle all of us in Disney World, then these women can walk into the store from the parking lot to buy their prenatal vitamins and whatnot.

    Pics 3 and 4 are beautiful.
    I was 21 when I had my son. The only other pregnant people I knew were family. He’s grown up now and I have money and time. All my friends still have a few years to go before they’re done.

    Again, other than family, hubby and I are the only married couple left. It’s a little depressing actually.

    What’s w/ the hatred of pregnant women? Parking close to the store is a marketing thing. I don’t think you can actually get a ticket for parking in one of those spots. Find something more important to rant about.

    @nyokki:

    Skulltimo and outofocus were being sarcastic. The others, are just weird. I think this is one of those hatred cycles, it goes round and round until even pregnant women become the enemy. Just nod and/ or laugh or you can always try to come up with something equally stupid.

    Good luck.

    @dieAntagonista: I don’t understand how it doesn’t make sense without sarcasm.

    I said that the parking spots were lures for shopping pregnant women and that people think my son is my little brother. Where does the sarcasm fit there?

    @dieAntagonista: I wasn’t referring to outofocus or Skulltimo. Outofocus wasn’t hating and skull was clearly being sarcastic. The hating part was a generalization of a sentiment toward pregnant women and mothers on this tread and my post.
