Lou ...Nanook, Elton John loves geometrical shapes!<br /><br />Lou and Sue, trust me, I have plenty of Jungle Cruise slides. TOO MANY. It’s always a bit of a bummer to acquire a lot of slides and discover that half of them are taken from a JC boat - not that I don’t love the ride, but all the pictures taken look much the same, no matter what era. What was the book you read, written by a skipper?<br /><br />TokyoMagic!, I think it’s like people on L.A. freeways slowing down to look at a car crash. They just have to look! Now that you’ve noticed my “trapezoid strategy” I may have to change it.<br /><br />Lou and Sue, ha ha; as if it’s not hard enough to think of something to say about some of these slides! <br /><br />TokyoMagic!, I can use all those words, but there’s no guarantee that the sentences will make any sense!<br /><br />Andrew, I’ve always thought that was a weird scene; it’s as if they couldn’t figure out a better way to show off so many beautifully sculpted animals. How about just have them around a watering hole? Or building a clubhouse (“No girls allowed” like in the “Our Gang” comedies”)?<br /><br />stu29573, maybe if people took the time to understand Carl! I’ve seen a lot of “very special episodes” of TV shows, and Carl probably came from an abusive home. Where’s Tom Hanks when you need him?<br /><br />Chuck, Life Day is in mid-November?!<br /><br />MRaymond, zebras are the “red shirts” (as in Star Trek) of the animal kingdom.

You'd think they'd all be running in the opposite direction, as fast as their little legs could take them.<br /><br />This is the second post in a row, where you have used the word "trapezoid." I bet you couldn't work it into every post, from now until the end of the month!

There's no doubt that yours would be hilarious!<br /><br />I know some of the junior gorillas were/are JC Skippers. I would love to hear what they said for this scene. :)<br /><br />After reading a book written by a past JC Skipper earlier this year, I then searched the internet for more Skipper jokes and stories, and stumbled on a GDB JC picture. Major's funny commentary for that picture was what got me started and hooked on this blog.
