Chimp pr0n!!

[enismirdal]

We watched a video of bonobos in our practical class today. They're great - they're the pygmy chimps, and to them, sex is a soical currency and is the underlying cement of their society. So everyone does it to everyone else, regardless of age or sex. We got to watch youngsters walking up behind big daddy bonobos and humping them silly. Even while eating at the same time. Brilliant!

Got back from last night's rehearsal (I apologise for laughing at the "with your stout legs and hard axe..." Legolas/Gimli lines, but in my defence, I was just about coping until everyone else started laughing too!!) and ended up in a three and a half hour conversation with the most lovely and charming melime, in which I learned huge amounts of US society and got to hear of Winn Dixie even before anuanu mentioned it. Aren't I just the clever one? *laughs*
Oh, and good luck in your exam today, melime!

I've become addicted to mulled orange and mango squash. I'm sure this must be an indication of some underlying psychological disorder.

Have good intentions of working later today. Honest.

Also need to buy more Earl Grey and do washing, as have very few T-shirts left.

You'd better get busy, so next time I can mention you in the same sentence as monkeysecks *giggles*

*pictures mental image*

*whines*

Actually, no, please don't.

*singing* Winn-Dixie, nothing comes closer to hoooome.

*cough* Sorry. No, really, I had a great time talking to you last night! Sorry I kept you up so late! I had way too much fun comparing cultures. I are anthropology nerd!! :D

Also, in my Physical Anthropology class, I think we watched the same video. Gotta love those bonobos. I think the greatest one was of these two females, both with babies hanging on to their undersides, having a quick shag.

I had way too much fun comparing cultures.
Me too :) It's fascinating discussing these things, especially the kind of stuff you wouldn't learn even as a tourist.

Our video was from David Attenborough's The Life of Mammals; it was a really popular series here when it was on, but I never watched it. They were doing it from the point of view of this little 8 year old bonobo who'd been orphaned when he was 3. Terribly sad, the way he had no mommy to carry him, so he couldn't keep up with the others when they went foraging and always arrived last when most of the food had been eaten. :(

Turns out my current lecturer is from the Department of Biological
Anthropology. She has a real thing for the great apes. But I've decided I want a pet tarsier (http://helios.bto.ed.ac.uk/icapb/collection/museum/beth97/tarsier.htm). Sooo cute!!

Looks like a gremlin.

[chess]

Looks like a Furby.

[anuanu.livejournal.com]

Looks like a vagina.

If tarsiers look like gremlins, and gremlins look like Furbies, and also like vaginas, therefore, can I conclude that:

1. Furbies look like vaginas
2. Tarsiers look like vaginas
?

I haven't peeked at the gremlin yet...I'm just going for a look...

Tarsiers look like gremlins.
Gremlins look like furbies.
Furbies look like vaginas.
Also, tarsiers look like vaginas.

And coconuts. Coconuts look like vaginas.

I think we've got it all covered, now.

And orchid flowers look like vaginas!

Also, if you place you hands, fingers pointing away from you, palms together, with the fingers spread like in a Vulcan salute, and get someone else to do the same thing with theirs, only horizontally with one hand on top of the other...then you get them to fit the space between their fingers onto the space between yours (and god, this is hard to explain in words!) and then you 'open' your hands from the back and look down the middle, that looks like a vagina too. We used to do that at school and laugh a lot. Sorry.
