the zoo!

now come on, who doesnt like the zoo? the mandatory excursion for all eager 6 yr olds across the nation that rivals the memories of BCG shots in primary 6 and national service for all eager 6 yr old males across the nation. in fact, to rekindle the fond memories i had of sheba the polar bear and ah meng the ferocious teetotaller of a chihuahua, i revisited the revered cages of the mandai zoological gardens. and boy did that take time =]

at any rate, i actually enjoyed myself there. however, there was this one curious little incident (attempts to look seductive with a spoon aside) that took my eye and has amused me till now. and that moment ladies and gentlemen can be summed up by the following picture:

out of all the animals that needed a wash in the zoo-- for example the white rhino, that has ceased to live up to its sterling name-- the lifeless ben and jerry's cow instead got the nod for a good scrub. don't get me wrong, i have nothing against the good fellows of bnj, in fact i quite enjoy their fare (especially cherry garcia), and i'm all for washing paper mache cows, but you gotta admit this is quite amusing.

not only that, it took TWO good fellows of bnj to wash our dear cow.

i actually had half a mind to send this picture to Stomp!, but looking at the entire set- up they have there and the engaging intellectual discussions they have, i'm afraid they might just launch a tirade against the cow for not licking itself clean or against the good people of bnj for wearing blue (trust me much worse has happened on that site).

But i digress.

By the way good folks, this is our good friend Sheba. She's not lazy (i'm assuming it's a she), she's just fed- up that she keeps doing the same thing and doesnt get paid what she deserves. much like our writer friends over at NBC.



imagine trying to wash this cupcake eh friends at ben and jerry's!



anyway, now it's your turn to blog good people =]
