Just a reminder that it’s best not to get so close to these critters since they (like many wild animals) can spread diseases to humans and pets.
I speak a little Prairie Dog, he was saying “Timmy fell down the well”.
You’re welcome.
Almost rises to the level I saw when a goat ate a windbreaker right off a kid’s back.
To a goat a wind breaker is like pizza. Don’t ask how I know, I just know things.
The guy talking reminds me of the late Huell Howser.
The dad’s voice was magical.
Given the cheapest way to make pizza crust these days makes it taste like cardboard, a windbreaker might be a step up.
Good pizza, much like a good dive bar, seems to be hard to find these days…
Doesn’t everyone protect their territory by untying nearby folks shoes?
In the swamplands long ago,
Where the weeds and mudglumps grow,
A yipiyuk bit on my toe…
Exactly why I do not know.
I kicked and cried
And hollowed “Oh”–
The Yipiyuk would not let go.
I whispered to him soft and low–
The Yipiyuk would not let go.
I shouted “Stop,” “Desist” and “Whoa”–
The Yipiyuk would not let go.
Yes, that was sixteen years ago,
The snow may fall,
The winds may blow–
The Yipiyuk will not let go.
The snow may melt,
The grass may grow–
The Yipiyuk will not let go.
I drag him 'round wach place I go,
This Yipiyuk that won’t let go.
And now my child at last you know
Exactly why I walk so slow.
TIL that apparently nobody remembers or liked Klaus Flouride’s solo album Cha Cha Cha with Mr. Flouride enough to have uploaded “Dead Prairie Dogs”, one of my favorite songs from the Alternative Tentacles scene.
Or, “How I Stopped Worrying and Learned to Love Rabies”.
