----------------------------------
As I get pictures of other animals at the park (and anywhere else), I'll be putting them here. When I get enough material
about one critter or another, I'll make a page for it, and put the material there.
(note 8/28/2022: A lot has changed since I first started publishing information online. At this point, I see some of
my material as "historical documents" (since my domain has grown over 20 years), so I leave it mostly as I wrote
it, except for changes in formatting that might make it easier to see now. This page is an example, and I'll probably dump
it eventually. The material has moved elsewhere.)

WEEEEEEEEEEE!
September
15, 2002The
image above (WEEEEEEE!) shows a squirrel I saw as I was getting into my
car to leave the park. I just thought it looked funny stretched out like
that, hanging by the toes of its rear feet as it used its forepaws to handle
its food.
The
caption refers to another squirrel that appeared in a shockwave movie that
I saw some time ago.
For
those unfamiliar with them, "shockwave movies" are a form a limited animation
that appears on the internet. Occasionally, a particular shockwave movie
triggers something in people that causes them to laugh...or go "hmmmm",
or say "what the heck was THAT?" In any case, some of these shockwave movies
will sweep across the internet, appearing in emails, and forwarded from
person to person, usually with an accompanying message that similar to:
"You have *got* to see *this*!"; until THOUSANDS see them.
These are phenomena unique to the internet, and unknown to those who don't
use the internet. The phrase "all your base are belong to us", while not
originally from a shockwave movie, became one. The infamous "Hyakugojyuuichi"
movie, created by a 14 year-old, was another phenomenon. And, the shockwave
movie "weeeeeee!" that I refer to here was another one. The series of animations
done by Joe Cartoon are also well known.
I won't
link to these movies from here, since they are filled with bizarre
images, and strong lanquage. I've recently been informed that
my pages have been used as teaching material overseas (much to my great
surprise and pleasure, by the way), and I don't want to lead young minds
astray. The movies are easy to find, and those who wish to see them, can
find them.
