12/31/2004: Happy polar bear new year

Undertoad · 12-31-2004, 11:39 AM

Kalluk, a male polar bear at the San Diego Zoo, tosses a toy Thursday, Dec. 30, 2004, in San Diego. The zoo created a winter scene for the bears by blowing 24 tons of snow into their exhibit and gave Kalluk and his sister Tatqiq a couple plastic polar bear toys to play with.

But the reason I picked the image was his perfect form, and for what it says... Xmas is over, toss the decorations now.

Or, perhaps, this ain't no polar bear.

I think he's miffed because HE didn't get the Coke commercial.
Happy New Year, one and all.

I notice his hair is greenish. Wonder if he has algae in his hollow hair too?

magilla · 12-31-2004, 06:14 PM

I think he wants the scarf.

Who dumped all this snow here?...
and I can't eat this... give me seals..

xoxoxoBruce · 01-02-2005, 09:27 AM

Seal? No, no....that's just ice cream.

I might as well admit it... I really don't get it?

Must be because I'm Swedish.

Wormfood, I think what we have been given is the punchline of a joke which will become funny to us, too, [hint] when someone tells us the joke [/hint]

It's an automotive reference.

I also was laughing when I read the line.

Looks like you've blown a seal.

The penguin has an Ice cream cone while the mechanic works on his broken down car.

The version I'm used to starts, "An Eskimo was enjoying an ice cream cone as the mechanic worked on his broken down car ..."

Now it's crystalclear. Thanks.

A vacationing penguin is driving through Arizona when he notices the oil-pressure light is on. He gets out to look and sees oil dripping out of the motor. He drives to the nearest town and stops at the first gas station. After dropping the car off, the penguin decides to take a walk around town.
He sees an ice cream shop and, being a penguin in Arizona, decides that something cold would really hit the spot. He gets a big cone with a double-scoop of vanilla ice cream and sits down to eat, but having no hands he is forced to make a real mess trying to eat with his little flippers.
After finishing his ice cream, he goes to the gas station and asks the mechanic if he's found the problem. The mechanic looks up and says, "It looks like you blew a seal."
"No, no, it's just ice cream, I swear!"
