I was digging through my Flickr photos earlier today and realized I have failed you. Miserably. I have some photos that I haven't posted here and THAT IS JUST PLAIN WRONG.
Before I post them, though, let me just say that I'm fully aware that I have a problem. I spend entirely too much time at the Pittsburgh Zoo. We have a membership, though, so it's really easy for me to get a wild hare up my ass and make the trip there at pretty much any moment.
Every trip I try to figure out a way to convince the polar bears to go for a swim. I know they do occasionally go in the water, but if I have my camera with me and I'm ready, they stand at the back of the rocks taunting me. They walk back and forth and back and forth, whispering my name and muttering something about hiding from the crazy lady with the camera and a blog. So far I've tried to get the polar bears to go for a swim by hiding my camera, showing a little cleavage, begging, offering them a Dorito, and by doing that awkward Angelina Jolie leg thing. No dice. Next time I'm going to try dragging a dead cow into the tunnel and seeing if they'll come check that out. I'm sure Zoo security won't mind.
The most recent trip to the Zoo was no different from the others. I didn't manage to catch any polar bears in the water. DAMMIT.
The only photo I took in the polar bear tunnel was this one.
And now Christina is cursing at me in German for posting that. Heh. You should go visit her blog and read all about her vacation in Pittsburgh.
Anyway, once I declared the Polar Bear Tunnel to be the Tunnel of Disappointment, we continued on to the shark exhibit. For some reason this guy caught my eye.
He was all RAWWWWRRR.
And then he was all RAAAAAWWWWWWWWWWRRRRRRRRRRR!
I AM SO FIERCE! SO MUCH MORE INTERESTING THAN POLAR BEAR! RAWWWRRRR!
But then he was all OH SNAP. Something seems to be wrong!
CRAP! Don't tell anyone that I have dentures!
You aren't seeing this.
Hold on a minute! I need to put my teeth back in!

Thanks for the votes! If it's possible, I'd like to donate the gift card back to this year's Christmas Crazy fund.
How embarrassing for the shark! Those shots are too funny.
This is HILARIOUS! Also - terrifying. I have to show Shark Boy - he will love it.
Do you think the shark was yawning?
it was a great day. christina and gabi were so fun. and those photos are fanfreakingtastic! way cool.
(i never thought of showing the polar bears my boobs to get them to swim. i will try next time we go.)
Those pictures are awesome; sharks have more blog fodder than polar bears anyway.
That shark is so me. I would try to be all intimidating and then do something stupid. Like stumble. A graceless stumblebum, that's me. :)
But I still want to be there for the dead cow thing.
(And do you even know what movie Rich's caption is from? heh)
OMGoodness! Great shark pics! Maybe he did it on purpose. Shark comedian, you know? LOL
@Katie in MA--Of course I have no clue what movie it's from. Heh.
@ Katie & Michelle: Dan Akyroyd (Ray) said it to Bill Murray (Venkmann) in Ghostbusters when they were trying to capture the ghost in the library.
