How to have a lazy Sunday in 8 easy steps
STEP 1: Be a wolverine.
STEP 2: Know that you are a badass predator. Choose to chill.
STEP 3: Be a leopard.
STEP 4: You are the elitest of the elite. You are the eyeblink of death. You are death from above. You come from Mongol-flocking Siberia. Let the camera-clutching tourists squeal and flail and gibber. They are tender and delicious. You can afford to chill.
STEP 5: Be a tiger.
STEP 6: <snort>
STEP 6a: Leopards. Afraid of water. Honestly. Come, I will show you the Way of Chill.
STEP 6a1: Come closer.
STEP 7: Be a bear. Better be two bears, in fact. Be TWO RIGGA-DAM' GRIZZLY BEARS, pilgrim!
STEP 8: You know the drill.
Thanks to the Minnesota Zoo and their new Minnesota Trail and Grizzly Coast exhibits! They've really been working on the place; even the run-through fountains in the play area are back. Sadly, they didn't have any grizzly cubs for us to take pictures of, which was too bad because that would've been just about THE ULTIMATE Cute Overload post. They're working on it, though.

Great idea, animules!
*head to desk* ....zzzzzzz
Nothing can make sleeping quite so cute as a giant kitty. And this one time at the Toronto Zoo we watched the Siberian tiger go for a dip in his pond, though it wasn't nearly as gloriously blue as this. I firmly believe my kitty is part tiger, given his penchant for splashing in the water dish.
And if you look to the left, you will see leopard leopardus displaying a truly quintessential axis of snorgling. Mmm soft leopard fur.
[I'm sure the leopard is saying the same about you, more or less... - Ed.]
Nicely done, Theo! Who knew apex predators could be so cuddly!
lol at the caption on step 8
Wonderful Sunday advice!!! I particularly enjoyed the hovertext on Step 3---it matches the picture purrrfectly!
(and has anyone tried Dippin' Dots? I've been seeing them for years as a 'franchise oppty' and recently are showing up in the grocery store.....)
[I've heard they tend to get caught between your claws, then they melt, so your toehawk gets all sticky just where it's hard to lick it clean. And they don't even have liver flavor... - Ed.]
Excellent cuteporting from the road, Teho!!!! Best hovertext is "My mustelid sense is tingling!"
Chillaxin to the maxin on a weekend. Good plan!
Step 9: Be my grey and white housecat, Mr. Stinky Fuzzpantaloons, who waited for me to get up so he could climb into my bed for a Sunday afternoon snoozle.
Okay Teho Thanks for a Sunday morning snort, Chuckle, and Guffaw at Photo Eight caption, Picture, and Roll over.
This whole post is a WIN.. Dipping dots::: Giggle
Hey! I was looking through here and was thinking "This totally looks like the Minnesota Zoo" which I frequent often. Yay for living a mile from the zoo!
There aren't any grizzly babies.... yet! ;)
I'm doing my best to start a mantra: "BE the wolverine! BE the leopard!" etc. Hopefully it'll be so strong that it will cause great chillage, and all will be good.
'Sup my bitches.
YAY! Go Minnesota Zoo and all its cute animals!
You have made my Lazy Sunday.
I'm currently on Step Wolverine.
Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.......chillaxed.
-K
I take step 4, step 6a, skip to step 8, then return to step 4.
looks like they's gonna have some grizzly cubs in about 6-9 months
i say we come back in spring and see if we can't update the c to the o
Do I see some wolverine Pilates action?
You're not really chilling unless you're capable of killing and eating everyone around you, but instead you stretch out and snooze.
Top notch, Teho!
I am the eyeblink of death . . . zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
Wonderful photography.
Dippin' dots..yes, here at Lake Compounce-(and that name has to count for something towards Luurkesproinging), Dippin' Dots are touted as "The ice cream of the Future!".
I had the green ones with little brownish flecks in them. I'm told it was mint chocolate chip. It didn't taste like what I would imagine scat would taste like on first spoon, so I ate it all. "Curiously refreshing", as they say.
Gotta go it is a very nice Sunday here and there are two madmen shredding, I mean trimming, the foundation plantings. I wonder how long it will be until they cut the power cord this time? They usually last a little longer than I would.
ROFL Theo!
I am a badass predator.
I choose to chill.
Alas I have to work on the weekend.
Foiled.
Hovertext by Theo...so enjoyabuls!
[EVERYTHING by Theo, this time. Hehe... - Ed.]
"Mongol-flocking", eh? :)
"Rigga-dam"? :o
Umm, err, arent' those two grizzies, er...;))))))))
They all look so content on a lazy summer day. Unlike the ones at the Columbus Zoo who are WAAAAYYY to up close and personal with people. (Gorillas chasing kids from the windows).
Although it reminds me next weekend I HAVE to take the camera and take pictures in the Kangaroo exhibt - they let ya walk through it. We were about 2 feet from one.
Aw, I live in Minneapolis and LOVE the Minnesota Zoo! They have AMAZING exhibits and the sweetest little animals. If wolverines weren't so vicious, I would totally snorgle them. =)
OMG, are those bears HUMPING?? There are children watching!! :D
Well, what do YOU do on Sundays?
This was from last Sunday, right? 'Cause it looks like you had an awesomely relaxed birfday, Theo.
[Actually, yes, it was. Good call... - Ed.]
still trying to figure out how to morph into not one but two bears...hmmmmm...
Fengli- you are so adorables- "one time at band camp" *snort* tee hee
Theo ,fab piktur taken! (theo monopolizzes the post this time- eggsellent)
those grizzles are just wrestlin right? WHUT??

we better lean the other way for a whiles. :)
somethin to ponder.
We ain't ALL doing it on Sunday. Some of us have kids!
You at me at "BE a wolverine."
Bwahahahahahahaha!
this post made me lol so hard.
I wish I could relax on a Sunday, I've been at work all day, cleaning the most disgusting things :(
Those fuzzies can't relax like me, eatin' bacon and eggs in my underwear. Oh wait. That tiger is swimmin' in the buff. Dammit!
I saw this most chilled-owted ring-tailed lemur yesterday. It was sitting right in the middle of the footpath, with its tail wrapped around it like a scarf, going "duuuuuuuude" while people were tripping over it.
I took a pikchoor of it, actually, I might send it to CO, if they want it.
I just went to the Minnesota Zoo two weeks ago. Proof! ...

It was hot out and all the animals were like "meh, today is our day off, mr. clicky silver box."
[Midgard -- those photos of yours on DA are really good. And it looks like we only missed you by one weekend, heh... - Ed.]
Oh Theo, that was wonderful...sigh...CO has done it again!!
Gotta love the attitude...Theocity!
Midgard - I love your art - it is GOR-GEOUS If I have half the talent that you have in your little finger I would be so happy.
wow starling . good to know. so i guess al gore was right about gllllllllobbb..aaalll warmin after all, i thought it might be all of us screwin at the same time.
bah hahah.
you tellin me your kids run your world??? din'int ,not , no way , happen in my folks life time. they can justify.
word.
Thanks mom :)
Theo for the WIN!
I thought the bears were reading the Sunday newspaper together-although I hate people reading over my shoulder.....
LOL, Katrina. XD
Ah, wolverines ... genuine proof that a non-cute mustelid is physically impossible. They can rip the legs off horses and drive wolves away from their kills, but they look like big floofy dog/teddy bear/weasel things.
still trying to figure out how to morph into not one but two bears...hmmmmm...
uh...that tingling in your mustelid sense?
....they make an ointment for that.
Well sheeeit, I'm-a git me some.
It was pretty funny at the bear enclosure, because at first Mr. Bear approached Ms. Bear face-to-face, and did some "hugging" gestures. So of course the whole crowd of human onlookers is going "Awwwww, look, Junior, the bears are playing!"
And then, when the bears had everybody's FULL attention...
I just wanted to add myself to the "wanna hug the wolverine" camp. Go ahead and add me to the bear camp, too.
No, not THOSE bears. I mean the big fat hairy ones who drool a bit. No, the other ones. In the zoo. In the enclosure.
