Zookeeper Tales: Pornchilla

As Scooter started to demonstrate his male virility more and more to anyone that would pay attention, I received an unexpected email from my mother. Attached was a photograph of not-so-little Scooter enthusiastically…ummm…let’s say he was overgrooming his manhood.

I’ve never seen anything like this (though a quick look around the Intarwebz shows the practice has been rather thoroughly documented). And so of course I had to share the picture immediately with my then-husband and my housemate.

Jason’s reaction: “Why is there a pornchilla on my computer?”

David...well, he didn’t say much at the time. Later, however, he walked into the mini zoo where he also worked, and found a gaggle of women surrounding a chinchilla’s cage.

“What’s going on?”

“What the heck is he DOING?”

“Oh. He’s masturbating.”

“How do you KNOW that?”

“Well..I have this picture on my comp..u…ter…Oh, crap.”

And thusly did my attempt to educate my housemate and coworker result in my near-death.

Well, it's not like it's a good idea to date where you work anyway - let's just say that the Self-Pleasuring Scooter photo saved your co-worker the potential difficulties. >,>

True story from my days dating someone good with computers:

Alicia and I visited two friends of ours who were sharing an apartment over a summer. The guys mentioned to her that they'd gotten an image stuck on their computer desktop and couldn't delete it. They added it was fairly explicitly pornographic. She declined to look at it. Then the guys asked me if I wanted to look at it.

I said "I had better not want to look at that."

Everyone cracked up.

Interesting (at least to me): I've looked at a reasonable amount of porn, but as far as I remember I looked at none of it while I was dating her. She wasn't that keen on it, though she likes sex and nudity (she's gone to at least one Oregon Country Fair topless -- "Didn't you know? I have the world's most perfect breasts! I was told this several times!" -- and I was amused years later when she complained about the not-really-nudity of both Beowulf and Grendel's mother in the Robert Zemeckis Beowulf). I figure I was getting sex and nudity in my real life finally and so I'd focused on that. :-)

If I'm so wise about nudity and sex, why haven't I had more? :-P I can do something about that!

(But the most recent woman I was interested in turned out to be interested in women. And particularly attached to one, so things were even less likely. THIS HAD BETTER NOT BECOME A HABIT OF MINE.)

By the way, as a reminder, here she is. Still cute. Though NOT a "friend with benefits." We don't go there.
