I’ve seen my fair share of Tarzan movies, both vintage and more current, and one thing strikes me as exceedingly strange…why was Tarzan portrayed as clean shaven?! — I mean, this guy was raised by apes, he lives off the land, he wears animal hide for a Speedo…and in every film portrayal, he’s got a close shave, usually without even razor stubble showing!– Did Tarzan have a Norelco cordless or a Gillette razor out there in the jungle?–Something just doesn’t make sense here…or was Tarzan a eunich?!

Why Didn’t He?!
August 27, 2007Poetic Justice
August 21, 2007This is cute… PETA and ASPCA in some locations are accepting T-shirts from former fans which originally commemorated confessed pro athlete dogfighter Michael Vick, and are donating the shirts to animal shelters for use as bedding for the animals, or to sweep out the shelters with! Actions sometimes speak louder than words, right?
Justice!
August 21, 2007–Alright!–Michael Vick copped a plea bargain, and could get up to five years in the slammer. His slick lawyers, of course, are gonna try and get that reduced to under a year, but it will still be time in prison. Other charges could also be brought against Vick, plus if he returns to pro football, they might run a potential suspension after the jail time. The dogfighter has also lost his Nike contract, and having an admitted dogfighter on the team would be a public relations disaster…so Vick may lose his pro football career altogether. Hopefully the word will get out from this highly-publicized sordid matter that dogfighting exists, and it is an abomination that will not be tolerated…
The Wheels of Justice Grind…
August 17, 2007Michael Vick must decide today whether to accept a plea bargain in his dogfighting case as two co-defendents have done, or risk even heavier charges. The full truth won’t come out until the case spins out, but it’s gonna get interesting…and ugly!
The Grim Doggie…
August 16, 2007Scamp the Dog has joined Oscar the Cat as a creature that can seem to anticipate or sense approaching death. The Ohio dog who resides in a nursing home has predicted 40 deaths so far, standing guard at the rooms of those nearing death or dragging his dog bed into them. Scamp was brought into the nursing home years before with a broken pelvis, and stayed on..perhaps this near-death experience made him a sensitive…
Moonstruck
August 14, 2007–Baying at the moon…it’s something we canids have been doing since we first evolved. Such a simple act, really, yet so very satisfying, probably because it’s so instinctual, so primal…
–Have you ever tried baying at the moon? — It’s really quite gratifying! Don’t be ashamed that your howls won’t be good enough…this is just between yourself and the moon! Just find yourself a nice, secluded spot, focus on the moon, and howl…draw it out a bit!– Pour your very soul into it! Very soon you will lose your inhibitions, become rather good at it, and begin to gain an emotional lift from the experience. When you howl at the moon, you become more in touch with your inner canine self, and become one with the night and all life in it! You are linking yourself with a history beyond the human!
I especially enjoy driving down a darkened country road on a moonlite night and howling at the moon as I go…there’s a real magic to it, and it’s quite therapeutic! — You’ve heard of primal scream therapy, haven’t you? Why pay some shrink for what we canids have done instinctually for eons?
Do you realize that the earth has the biggest moon in relationship to planetary size in our solar system?–It’s awesome, really–Enjoy it!
Maternal Instinct
August 11, 2007True Story! A woman with a five-year-old was attack by a raccoon who bit the kid on the leg and wouldn’t let go…so the woman strangled the raccoon with her bare hands! Don’t mess with Mom…and why do racoons always seem to get bad press and bad reps?
Monkey Business…
August 10, 2007A guy smuggled a monkey onto an air flight from Peru, where he bought the monkey from a street vendor. He was hiding the little guy most of the time in his hat while on the plane! The monkey eventually came out from his place of concealment, and the guy was turned in by fellow passengers. The monkey is fine…the guy’s got some ‘splainin’ to do!
Chew On This!
August 9, 2007–Heh, they’ve come out with a dog chew toy that looks like pro athlete and accused dogfighter Michael Vick!–Sweet!–Every dog has his day, right?
A high profile athlete being accused of this crime will bring the secret shame of dogfighting to public awareness, and hopefully help to end it…
Embrace the Animal Within!
August 8, 2007It’s part of the language; brave as a lion, strong as an ox, meek as a lamb, sly as a fox…and the list goes on! Such similes indicate the depth and power of animal identification, and the association of certain attributes with particular species. On either a superficial or an in-depth level, by considering your psychological characteristics, you may come to identify your inner furry self, and come to realize what species you inwardly are. This is a process of inner self-discovery that can be a source of strength for you, for your animal essence and spirit are vital, something at the very core of your being…
