The other day a television show I had playing in the background as I worked prompted a detour through various online resources (I was procrastinating. Shoot me.) to learn more about these reptiles (*) which are Officially. Bad. Ass.
Seriously, how hardcore is a creature which does this after dinner:
Komodo dragons may attempt to speed up the process by ramming the carcass against a tree to force it down its throat, sometimes ramming so forcefully that the tree is knocked down.
There are parallels, I’ve decided, between this and how I learn. I want it. I want it all now, and when the knowledge does not go down easily I tend to start tree-ramming. Delicious knowledge! I cannot get enough!
Unlike the Komodo dragon which enjoys its food only monthly, I require more regular scholarly sustenance. Nevertheless, a long nap in the sun to digest it all surely would be wonderful.
Maybe this weekend?
Komodos are some of the most badass lizards out there- simply fascinating creatures. Especially the whole parthenogenesis bit. But they’re reptiles- not amphibians! :)
Aw crap! Thanks, Sharpie!
A nap after gorging on info is best. I’m too lazy to look up the reference right now, but there was a study recently that showed a nap after learning led to much better retention than if one didn’t nap. :-)
I read that! I’ll look it up later!
Right after I wake up!
I don’t know why, but when i read that part about ramming their food down their throat, i could only get the image of your attempts of deep-throating your lover… and using that “ramming” approach to break past that barrier you had…
Much laughing ensured, but to be honest… maybe napping after such a attempt would help remember it 0-:)
Heeeyyyy! Now there’s an idea!
Actually he’d probably just end up with my lunch over his dick. :)
Eewww. I did that once. Definitely a mood killer.
then don’t eat beforehand? make you extra hungry… just drink a little water, no one minds a little water coming up… it’d look just like saliva 0-:)
Perhaps, but *typically* when saliva comes out of my mouth I don’t also say “bleaaaaawwwwrrrrp!”
:)
You just made my day! “bleaaaaawwwwrrrrp!” should be a new word!
Def. “bleaaaaawwwwrrrrp!”
“To bite off more then one can chew….or swallow”
… still think the next time you should go “komodo” on him, see if he’ll be suprised.
