Sunday is Zooday.

El Presidente, The Minister for Interior and Stuff, and The General went to...

THE ZOO!

It was super fantastic planetary. One of the first things we saw was the noble Tiger, an amazing creature of strength and MAJESTY. It is like a living beard I guess, truly majestico! It roared a bit but generally looked insane. It also stared hard at El Presidente, perhaps recognising the inherent majesty in our noble leader! Or it was hungry, It was hard to tell.



Next on our trip were the monkeys! Our own little monkey, a species native to Drunkendancistan only, practiced the FACES OF COMMUNICATION. We thought that maybe we could recruit some spies, but apparently the monkeys were a bit dumb. This is our monkey making the "Excited" face!



And then we were back in big cat territory. With the Liopard Sneachta! Thats right, not only does a brief trip to the zoo give you a degree in Zoology, you also learn some very difficult Irish. I will leave you to guess in the comments section the Irish for Chimpanzee and Giraffe! Anyways, here is the snow leopard sign. The snow leopard was pretty far away.



ORANGUTANG! Smelly ginger monkeys. I got on with these guys like long lost friends. Perhaps my Ginger beard helps? I cannot tell for sure. I did get to shout "YOU'VE BEEN ORANGUTANGOED"when the thing went nuts and tore a dudes hat right off his head.



From there it was onwards and upwards, as they say in the business of Zoology. Mountain Zooology. Or maybe Marine Zoology when they are on a deep sea dive and coming up for air? I do not know for sure, maybe we can ask Mister Minister of the Interior and Stuff (aka King of the Spas of Zoology)? Yes. Maybe.

Hmmm. Where was I? Oh yes. The NEXT animal I want to show you is our own little monkey playing on the slides! Oh boy did she have fun! Until she got stuck... Half way down. The folk from Dublin Fire Brigade WERE NOT HAPPY when we had to call them to rescue her. :-(

We were heartbroken that the WHEEEEEEE! was so abruptly broken. Poor little monkey...



WHAT IS THIS! It is a goddamn RHINO. Thats what I, as a military guy, was here to see. Oh yes. Although, the Persian Army that attempted to invade Greece had these guys as WAR RHINOS, Sparta STILL won. There is a lesson there somewhere. When I see the film 300 I will let you know what it is. Anyways, here is the big bad rhino dude. Also a hippo.





Then we saw something that reminded us of our Loyal Court Jester. It was ASIAN. It was FEMALE. And I truly feel that the Court Jester would seriously consider her KAWAII!!



You know, the day was pretty cold. SO the ZEDbras were inside, under the heat lamps. I thought I saw them shiver, but El Presidente said it was an optical illusion because ZEDbras are stripey! Anyways, here is the photo.



So we moved on. To the highlight of the day for El Presidente and The Minister of the Interior and Stuff. PENGUINS. We were there for maybe seven hours I guess. It was ages anyway. The things can't even fly! Whats so great about them?



Well after the penguins, we came across the greatest metrosexual of them all, the Peacock. Even David Beckham would be ashamed by this guys extravagance. Well... He would have been... This guy was shy!



Don't worry! Hang in there! There is not much more to go. As a treat, here is perhaps the most laid back and cutest guy of the whole day. Red Panda asleep on a log. What a hero. The Red Panda is now the official mascot of Drunkendancistan. This guy was asleep because he was partying ALL NIGHT you guys. The keeper told us so.



Then there was a bit of an emergency! We lost the Minister of the Interior and Stuff! It was a terrible time! However, El Presidente had a plan. "Let us go to the Wishing Chair and wish we knew where she was"!



Suddenly inspiration struck! Maybe she would be at the Lost Child hut? As they say BINGO! It was kind of weird. All the lost people were behind a fence, and if you knew one of them you had to call out their name. Then the lost person had to put uo their hand or you couldn't take them! Weird!



Then before we left the Minister for the Interior and Stuff wanted to thank the wishing chair for all it's help.



And that was the end of the ZOO!

However! That was not the end of the day, OH NO. We met both the Ambassador for Mehico and Mister Minister for the Interior and Stuff (aka King of the Spas of Zoology) for dinner and a movie. It was ROSEMANTICS. Note that our Mascot, the Red Panda, is having a nice chat with the Ambassador. Probably about bourbon.





And that was that for a lovely wonderful day. Yay!
