Hold that tiger!

Chengdu Zoo in China regularly conducts animal escape drills in which a person dresses in costume and runs amok.

Tigger here has escaped and is headed out to get drunk, listen to Manowar and maybe flip a car over.

Not so fast, Tigger. Your "don't tranq me, dude" pleas will go unheard.

Tigger's friend yells supportive things like, "Watch out for your cornhole, buddy."

What do you wear with leg warmers that make you look like you have a mane growing down the back of your legs?

UPDATE: Another fabulous photo of the hoof shoes - and that guy is well on his way to becoming a Satyr.

spirit hoods - everybody's doing it

No, I will not be sporting a Spirit Hood anytime soon. They are silly.

Besides, there are no tigers.

I'd rather squat naked in a cage with paint all over me than wear fu- I mean, than go through another work day.

Woman Nurses Monkey

"Photograph of an indigenous woman nursing a Woolly monkey (Lagothrix lagotricha) in the Amazon rain forest. Curiously, it is not uncommon for indigenous women in the Amazon to breastfeed a young monkey whose mother has died. Often during hunting, the mother will be killed leaving behind her young. Indigenous Amazonians often adopt the young monkey as a pet, hence the women breastfeeding the monkey in the above picture. "

Thoughts?
