Which is good because you don't want a koala around for long- they eat only eucalypt leaves. They don't drink water. So a koala close up is rather pungent (and flammable). Kind of like living with a living ball of very eucalyptus oil soaked fur. It's sad but true. Possibly why you don't see many souvenir items made of (real) koala fur. <br />They also have this habit of sleeping in trees where one might set up a camp kitchen below, resulting in koala poo in the kitchen (yes, really truly happened).<br /><br />A drop bear perhaps? Or a hoop snake?<br /> Persnicketyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18436903120495453879noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7608574986922869165.post-66674818155355231812012-10-21T20:52:02.385-07:002012-10-21T20:52:02.385-07:00You're right, that is so so sad.

If so, they at least formatted the text to wrap around the picture so that it looked good, did they? <br /><br />Some people's children!!<br /><br />Anyway, I actually came down here to the comments to simply post the youtube video of that one clip from the Simpsons where they have the toilet rigged to spin the American way. But the only good one I can find is in Spanish. So... Spanish.<br /><a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5P_blkNZ97s" rel="nofollow">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5P_blkNZ97s</a>Robhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09108308671838846260noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7608574986922869165.post-64864637926659528202012-10-19T10:32:52.993-07:002012-10-19T10:32:52.993-07:00I wish I were joking, too.

We use a discussion board because it's an online class, but the instructions clearly say that college-level writing is expected (one of the pre-requisites for this class is a writing class, for crying out loud), and the last time I checked, emoticons were not college-level writing. So sad. So very, very sad. :(Allisonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05270819130380590113noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7608574986922869165.post-77257357109137496142012-10-19T09:57:03.869-07:002012-10-19T09:57:03.869-07:00lol and emoticons?!!
