that kangaroo picture up there? you get to walk through the enclosure. there are kangaroos just laying about in the sun right next to you
it has some of the best trail systems around to see everything and there are multiple viewing areas for every animal
and that leopard's coating is so fucking gorgeous in real life
The Taronga Zoo in Sydney has enclosures like that (although with Wallabys, not Kangaroos). My wife got menaced by an Emu while we were there, it was awesome (to me).
me and the family went to the Columbus Zoo last friday and they have red pandas there and i thought of yoooooouuuuuu
Yay, did you take pictures?
i have some from the last time we went, but this time they didnt bring their furry red asses out of the highest tree in the enclosure so i could take pictures
i did get some great pictures of the new baby elephant, some baby monkies, a cool stingray, and a big ol gorilla
Well that's cool. Here's a pic I found from the Colombus Zoo:
here's Beco, the baby elephant playing with his big blue ball that he chased all over his enclosure
When I was scrolling down and the ground was cut off in this picture it looked like a painting

Aww, some of these animals are ridiculously cute. We went to a scary alligator farm thing recently. It was like that scene from A Goofy Movie when they go to that possum tourist place. Except, there were gators and caged lambs and peacocks.
This sounds like a very depressing show. Do they actually follow the people through treatment?
On Obsessed they follow them through a 12 week treatment process with a psychologist, some people get better and some quit halfway through.
On Hoarders they show the house and then come in with a crew of people capable of cleaning it in two days and try to help them.
But the thread is about pandas now I guess lol
12 weeks doesn't seem like long enough to deal with some of this. Do they give them medication as well? It seems like many of the obsessed people could be helped with anti-anxiety medication in addition to therapy.
I watched an Obsessed marathon yesterday, and it was pretty upsetting. Especially that woman who kept the bloodied clothes of her dead father and, like, wore them. Now there's some uplifting television

I think the weirdest thing I do is wipe my peen after I pee.
What?
You never know when your peen's going to up and fall into someone's mouth OK? OK.
like, swab down the whole thing or just dab the peehole?
Just the peehole.
It's not like I lather it up with pee every time I pee or anything.
a couple brisk shakes doesnt take care of any dew left on the tip?
I don't want to jam my shit on my fly and I just like being extra careful so I don't get dubbed Uncle Salty.
I wipe my piss hole too
Is there supposed to be something wrong with that
also wtf

Also I'd definitely hire a obsessive compulsive cleaner/germ-a-phobe to be my maid, they would do an amazing job
OCD made reading books nearly impossible for me.
Now with medication it is only annoying.
That....sucks hard.
I have only a teeny tiny book problem, in that I have a hard time staying awake while reading, no matter how much sleep I get.
I know someone who has in the past been inwardly obsessive about walking. She feels that there's this "path" that a person lays out behind them when they walk, and she doesn't like it when she, or maybe everyone, crosses paths. On occasion, she used to retrace her path back around someone to untangle it.
another show i'm into is bite me with dr. mike on travel channel. he basically lets poisonous animals bite him and he swims in sewers to try to catch ringworm and it is fascinating. its basically like wildboyz, only with a classy british dude as the host

seriously, it is a fun show to watch. travel channel has a bunch of interesting shows i try to catch whenever they're on (no reservations, bizarre foods)
If it was my frozen fetus, I would pick a random address out of the phonebook and mail it to that person. Then I would watch the news and read the local paper while patiently waiting for my plan to come to fruition.

guys there is a meerkat colony at my zoo and it is the best possible thing out of anything
I saw the episode with the woman who kept and wore her dead father's bloody clothes and I could barely handle it once they were showing shots of her wearing them.

My wife and I got mugged by emus at the Phillip Island wildlife park, while some big red kangaroos laid around and watched. We had to throw our bag of food at them and run away.
It is a pretty awesome place though, they have enclosures like Cracked mentions and little wallabies just wandering about everywhere:
Anyways, if any of you guys are ever cruising up the Oregon coast, there's a cool place right below Bandon. It's basically giant petting zoo combined with a small zoo. The grounds you walk around on to view the various exhibits aren't paths, but wide swaths of open ground where various sheep, goats, peacocks, deer, and stuff are walking about. And so all around this path are the bigger animals, and a lot of predators. Big cats and bears and such. And big game like elk and buffalo. They do a lot of breeding for other zoos, like just last year they had a snow leopard baby. Best part of this place? Every day they have a few select baby animals they bring out for show. There's a hand-raised possum, two albino ferrets, a couple skunks ... not interesting enough for you? Well when they have them, they also bring out the more exotic babies and smaller more manageable animals. Besides being able to pet and fully interact with all the above, me and my fiancee also got to play around with a young bobcat (Eurasian), and I got to bottle feed a baby black panther. Fuck yeah.

Hopefully they would do it at a point where they're pretty confident she's not actually going to do it. Like a few months into treatment or something.

I went to this place quite a few years ago, I got to hold a possum and it was all cuddly and smelled like popcorn.

It was like 8 or 10 weeks into the treatment. The therapist seemed really confident she wouldn't get he throat sliced open, she didn't even blink. Exposure therapy is about getting them to the point where they would snap and letting it pass so the people can realize that nothing bad is going to happen.
One time one of the therapists (think it was like the 1st or 2nd episode) was at this gay guys house who is a clean freak and was like can I use the bathroom? He said yeah its right in there and she comes out and goes "oh by the way I just put a bloody tampon in the garbage in there I didn't feel like flushing it". The guys face got beet red and he got all pissed off. So he goes in there to start cleaning and shit and she was like "oh I used that towel to clean my hands, I want you to wipe your face with it". So he did.

Or, they could snap and murder you while you sleep.
All the while muttering under their breath "Unclean! Unclean!"
Now with medication it is only annoying.
That....sucks hard.

You are a cool guy, Meiz, but I think you are just a little bit too concerned about what people will think your dick tastes like.
is that they can smell the venom
so when one ant bites something
all the other ants are like hello there's something to bite
and they swarm
Need some stuff designed or printed? I can help with that.
Things about you make sense now.
Sup.
Fucking evolution.

I'm really glad I missed the fetus episode.
My wife and I got mugged by emus at the Phillip Island wildlife park, while some big red kangaroos laid around and watched. We had to throw our bag of food at them and run away.
It is a pretty awesome place though, they have enclosures like Cracked mentions and little wallabies just wandering about everywhere:
Also lots of other cool Australian wildlife:
Watch out for drop bears though:
