Hmmmmmmm... John... a "mighty ****load", huh? I kinda like that. I presume
that's volumetrically greater - much greater, than a simple ****load. I'm
sticking this one in my back pocket. To think - all these years I've been
settling for a simple ****load. Man - you can really pick up some cool
stuff here.

According to the zoo's owner, Dragan Pejovic, the townsfolk have
nothing to worry about. "Nikica does not represent a threat to anyone,"


So, to segue back, she's less dangerous than circumnavigation?


he said, "unless someone attacks and kicks her." But that is not
entirely true. The evacuation of Nikica's cage is one thing -- but when
Nikica herself evacuates, it can be dangerous.


I've seen that happen in the Sandy Eggo zoo. Walking by the hippo
exposition, I strolleddown to the underwater viewing area when the
hippo decided to evacuate. Holy Crom! That's a metric (my fave)
****load, alright. Within 30 seconds, a roughly 10x12x8' area was
saturated and opaque. I went to the top and watched a dozen kids go
"Ewwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww!" Unforgettable.

Maybe Abby will pick her up and won't have to be alone for the rest of
the voyage. (jusssssst kidding)
