beneath the baobab

Ladies and Gents,

Lions are losing the predator/prey battle more often than at any time in the history of nature. They are being beaten by buffalo, monitor lizards, crocodiles, extreme mongooses, and extreme ibises. What does this mean, in human terms? Simply, the lion is no longer in charge. There is, what I'd call, Animal Parity. On any given day, any given animal can defeat any given animal, on the plains. Unless that other animal controls the voting machine companies. Or, if you will, the lion is obese. A generation of new lions, unused to the hardships that their forebears endured, cannot tear themselves away from laying beneath the baobab, eating zebra chips, and playing Madden Jungle Devour 2007 ("It's in the game!" (grunt) (tm)). Thus, the other animals are hungrier for "It." And, Whoops There It Is, -- another lion thrown 20 feet into the air.

Drink & Walk, however, is still king of the happy hours. Join The Board of Directors ---- 6:00 p.m. this Thursday at Angles, for another round of the happy hours where the barfly always triumphs over the beer or drinkdrink or glass of wine. We, at Drink & Walk, have never seen the glass of wine, say, turn on the barfly and send him/her running. Of course, we've seen one or two instances of a tequila shot staring down a barfly and if that ---- a standoff! ---- happens to you, just alert one of us on The Board, and we'll drink that shot ourselves, or we ain't The Board of Directors.
