I wish I could post pics of the shirts I saw this last weekend at the Elkhart County 4-H Fair. Spectacular.
It is something to behold.
Shallow water, the hippo. Deeper water, the great white.
Spending any real time there? Depends on my job and how hands on I’ll need to be. Max I wanna be done with real work by 59. So ten years.
I'm going to have to do some research on this...Bite strength. Damn Hippo is right up there. Nile Croc thought WOW.
We stayed at a hotel in Botswana witha watch out for hippos sign and we’re right on the river. We woke up every night with dozens of hippos munching grass on the lawn. I loved watching them, especially the babies.
Hmmm that’s a new one. Try having a personality? Sorry you don’t like it. I’ll change immediately. Lol
Your last paragraph is like a gnat nipping at the ankles of an elephant. Don't chase off a good poster who has recently returned with that nonsense.
We’ve stayed at the Elephant Hills resort near Victoria Falls a couple times. It’s on a pseudo nature preserve. Every balcony has a sign to remember to close your balcony door because the monkeys will come in and steal everything.
Respectfully, I think your circle is likely as not as open as you think and based on posts here and how I know many righties react when y'all are discussing this stuff, you probably aren't hearing many counter opinions.
Go to you tube and watch the documentary on Cocaine Hippos.
It’s their dense bone structure that makes hippos sink - not “dense” muscles
Exactly. And it was like 10 minutes later when it was on all the news sites.
Another loney tune message from deep inside Looneyville!
I read a local thing about them. The whole family are swimmers. One at smu and another William and Mary. The one brother was in the Olympics and I guess the mom was on the Colombian national team.
so i assume he couldn't make hte US team so he did that? i know quite a few college soccer players who have done that - girls mostly
Oh cool! I’ll look for it. Our restaurant had guys on duty with baseball bats to scare away the monkeys. Fortunately, I never saw them use them. I’m going to Rwanda next spring to see gorillas. Have you done that?
He actually wasn't bad and possibly could have made the U.S. team. However, he was born in Colombia and was a shoe-in to make their team. He beat the second fastest American at Rio. But I am not sure if he was an American citizen in 2016. If he was, he probably figured I can swim for Colombia and be guaranteed a trip to Rio or swim for the U.S. and have maybe a 50/50 shot. I would never fault someone for taking the sure thing, especially when it's his country of birth.
Oh I know the algorithms I get are biased. I’m just seeing an awful lot of engagement from young people ( Swifties4Harris) and POC. I do watch things I don’t agree with on TikTok and Twitter to mess up the algorithms some.
Nope. Only been in SA, Zim, and a short day trip into Mozambique (farm is about 20 miles from the border).
that totally makes sense. swimming is a team but still very individualistic right? so your goal i presume is to get to the olympics and get your shot anyway that you can? that's too funny re 1984 olympic trials. i had an old teammate leave college and quit our team to play champions league. i didn't really understand or realize it until later but champions is literally going on right now. these tiny little teams from countries all over europe play for months against each other before you get to the televised good shit in fall. he played for his little hometown team in iceland lol. but damnit he played champions! and to this day he'll begin sentences like "i remember when i was playing champions" bitch.
Ok, I tend to believe that 95% of all of this is already baked in the cake. The abortion thing gets people motivated in elections they don't normally participate in. I don't think it is as impactful in Presidential elections as it has maybe been in mid terms or run offs. I also think the impact is going to decline over time. "Pro-choice" people are going to find themselves in the "Pro-life" place of 20 years ago. People may agree with you in theory but a bunch of people don't get abortions and never will (and most people don't consider a D&C after a naturally failed pregnancy an abortion-at least not for the political sake of this argument) so as time goes on that topic will become less of a driver. People tend to just accept the norm.
i'm willing to be a guinea pig for that study....as long as I'm in the staring group lol
that's funny and disturbing.
I think I was splitting hairs. Their bone structure is unique in that it has a higher density than most (all?) other mammals. However, they also have a lot of muscle mass - which, in one sense, you could say they have a higher density (amount) of muscle than most other mammals. In other words, I was being overly anal. Apologies. {gasp!}
