That's really sad. The funny part is how they painted the stripes when they got to his legs. :lol:

Oh my gosh, CG, I didn't even notice that!!! They must have been soooooo tired by the time they got to the legs! That's so funny!
Only the idea is funny.....the rest IS really sad. This was an interesting Slate from many angles.

OK quick google, and it turns out that the stripes DO do horizontal at the legs. Maybe not just the hairdressers that pooped out by the time the legs came up :?

I did hear Joshie was pursuing "off island" pursuits.

Hmmm...

That story was pretty sad, though. I guess I didn't think about how situations like that would affect children's activities like zoos and things.
