If you stop and think about it, it’s amazing that we even find humans pretty. Beauty is a consensual standard. But speaking generally, most consider dolphins pretty, so it shouldn’t surprise anyone they’re favored because of it – it’s a very human behavior we all repeat.

Fur Seal.
Fur seals are any of nine species of pinnipeds in the Otariidae family.They are much more closely related to sea lions than true seals, and share with them external ears (pinnae), relatively long and muscular foreflippers, and the ability to walk on all fours. They are marked by their dense underfur, which made them a long-time object of commercial hunting.
Fur seals feed on moderately sized fish, squid and krill. Several species of the southern fur seal also have sea birds, especially penguins, as part of their diet.23 The fur seals themselves are preyed upon by sharks, orcas and occasionally by larger sea lions.
When fur seals were hunted in the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries, they hauled out on remote islands where there were no predators. The hunters reported being able to club the unwary animals to death one after another, making the hunt profitable even though the price per seal skin was low. 4
Currently, most species are protected and hunting is mostly limited to subsistence harvest. Globally, most populations can be considered healthy, mostly due to the fact that they often prefer remote habitats that are relatively inaccessible to humans. Nonetheless, environmental degradation, competition with fisheries and climate change potentially pose threats to some populations.
Blah blah blah, whatever. This whole thing was an excuse to post this video from Encounters At The End Of The World, which by the way I highly recommend if you like documentaries, or if you don’t.

The sound recordings of the seals were produced by Douglas Quin, a renown Sound expert and professor at the S.I. Newhouse School of Public Communications at Syracuse University, another recipient of the Antarctic Artists and Writers grant.3
I don’t know if that means if he made the recordings, or made the recordings and then made them sound like that.

Also, another scene from Encounters At The End of the World, is a penguin walking through the snow. Big whoop right? Except he’s heading towards mountains miles away, and beyond the mountains, ice for hundreds of miles. So the penguin is essentially walking to his death.
The researches can’t do anything because the rules forbid it, and a researched said that if you were to pick him up and put him back in the colony, the penguin would head the same way.

I feel like my internet knows when anything exciting is going on on the screen and spazzes out with anxiety…
I think we can legitimately call Dice one of the three stars tonight, if not #1.

Oh God, now we have to rely on tiny ears to make free throws.

-All the better to not hear the crowd when I’m shooting free throws.
That’s about as good of an apology that I can give.

But Ariza gets the edge because he actually scored and got rebounds. But 6-21 is hardly great.
The Spurs - now playing defense again!
Well, Bogans was 0-3 FG and 2-4 from the line… but did have 2 steals, 4 boards and a +/- of +12, second only to Dice
I’ll consider promoting him from “Bruce Jr.” to full on “new Bruce”.

Thanks, LZ, but I’ve kept myself fully up-to-date on the nicknames. I love Bogeyman but that doesn’t mean we can’t continue to play footsie with the idea of original nicks. =]

“new Bruce” is more like a status than a nickname anyway
Hilariously maladjusted. But for all the right reasons.
Have you been gone so long that you’re now using the subject line?
My people call it "sarcasm." - Lauri
I’ve ALWAYS made occasional use of the subject line.
And it’s NEVER been an issue. The problem is when rookies noobs those from other blogs post their ENTIRE COMMENTS in the subject line.
Wow, I really reacted to that, didn’t I?

Nope nope. We should explore as the season goes on. But since we never got to give Bruce a proper farewell, I am hoping for a befitting opportunity in the future. Kinda feel guilty about anointing somebody “new Bruce” without proper homage to the original. Just my private peeve.
Hmmmm. I remember several “Love you, Bruce” fanposts and stories. So you must be referring to the absence of an official Spurs farewell.
Yes?

I’m with you LZ. I think Boogeyman is great, but Bruce status? Not quite there… are we?

Well, we’ve now won four in a row. The CapHill Not Drinking During The Game experiment will have to continue. Sorry Eddy, you’re going to have to carry the load all by yourself.

I’m offended. Does no one think that I can not drink for the rest of the season? All this sacrifice for naught.

By the way, best review of Twilight series ever: http://bit.ly/OYReO
Hilariously maladjusted. But for all the right reasons.
Stephanie Meyer’s exemplary writing style is demonstrated in this conversation between Edward and our narrator Bella:
“Aren’t you hungry?” he asked, distracted.
“No.” I didn’t feel like mentioning that my stomach was already full – full of butterflies.

Haha. Honestly, Cap, I don’t think your non-drinking affects the team, but I’m not the mojo expert around here.

And since he’s not around, I have to go off my instincts. Plus, it gives me something to complain about, so it’s not all bad.

Good point. I think our friendly neighborhood closet Spurs Lakers fan found your loophole.

I’ll try that in the next game and see how it works. Thanks for coming through for another Spurs fan, olf. I appreciate it.

Dang, WayneATS didn’t like my old one. So I changed it and I’m still getting crap.

The Lakers "Too big, too strong, too long, too good."
I don’t know, you guys just piss me off. Plus SS&R just took a poll and I think the average age was something like 19-24. I like the site and all but it is not really my demographic. I gave up playing beer pong awhile ago.
The Lakers "Too big, too strong, too long, too good."
This other Gasol seems to be pretty good. How long until he’s traded to LA for a few MP3’s?

Can’t just enjoy your win and leave it at that, huh?

Except I have no idea what the Clippers’ chief weapons are.

And his secret weapon? Mood stabilizers? I guess it could hardly get worse than last year.

Mike’s secret weapon is the stack incriminating pictures he has of the (other) Donald. It’s not much, but it’s keeping him employed.

Don’t dump on the Clips on my account – I couldn’t care less.
Dunleavy is still employed because his contract money is guaranteed and the Clips’ owner won’t pay two coaches / GMs at once.

We don’t dump on the Clips because of you. We do it because they’re the Clips.

Sorry, the thread just started with the whole “Gasol traded to L A for MP3s” thing.
The Lakers "Too big, too strong, too long, too good."
Yeah, I think if they traded the second Gasol, there’d be an angry mob to answer to in Memphis. You know, torches and pitchforks, the whole thing.
The Spurs - now playing defense again!
Hey speaking of the Grizz, they just beat the Blazers in Portland.
Plus the Cavs fall to the Bobcats. Not a bad night.
The Lakers "Too big, too strong, too long, too good."
Yeah, you probably didn’t know the Blazers are my second team. But, they’re ahead of us in the standings, so I’ll take it.
The Spurs - now playing defense again!
How the heck did RJ play for 34 minutes but be so invisible? 1-5, 7-7 FTs, 2 boards and NOTHING ELSE
The Spurs lulled him into thinking he could beat them on his own by not playing defense in the first. Then he still thought the shots were going to go when the Spurs were in his face. Genius, I tell you!
The Spurs - now playing defense again!
I’d agree with the genius, no questions asked, if only he’d shot better than 4-10 in the first.

That’s the genius of the genius. You only let him shoot as good as it takes for he victim to think his shots will go. For Ariza, 40% is scorching.
