My favorite zoo activities:

Tossing catnip to the tigers just before feeding time (it works on the big cats, too).

Throwing my own feces at the chimps.

Toss a ripped-up denim jacket, an old toupee, and one sneaker into the bear compound, then report that someone jumped in there.

Feed a giraffe and when he bends his head down to get the treat, stick a cone party hat on him with a rubber band.

Slip a whole salmon to the penguins and watch the free-for-all.

No, Bry has been talking about codifying some club standards for a while. We've even looked into incorporating the club formally, with the state, but that's as far as it's gone.

I have no idea what he's going to say or do!

Thanks to Elara for moving the Utah RX-8 owners thread and combining it with the existing Utah sticky!

Let's post here from now on.

I got em uploaded to the computer yesterday, when I get home from work today I'll try and get some posted.

A good turnout, a good cruise. We had 9 8's this time, broke our old record of 8. And a Ford Bronco bringing up the rear!

Lot's of slow traffic along the route made the trip up not as fun as it could have been, but the trip back to town made up for it.

Snowboard's new name is "Killa", lol!

You know, every animal you hit with your 8, you have to have the head mounted on a trophy plaque.

Snowboard has a little sparrow head and squirrel head up on the wall in his den.

Sorry I didnt make it to the meet. The 8 is really sick. Right now she's sitting in the garage completely detailed and waxed awaiting a heart transplant later this week. The meet looked pretty kick *** though. By the way Jethro, that was me on the yellow bike waving at you haha!

Haha! Well, I knew it was a rotary enthusiast! Hopefully you can make the August meet, looks like we'll be doing it again in about a month.

Who was that on the back seat?

You're in 2. Look at the shot of snowboard with his mouth hanging open. You're in the background.

I've got lots more, just need the time to get them processed and uploaded.

Remember that camera I was using? It has a neat function that allows me to grab single frames from video footage. So even though I shot only a few minutes of video, I have literally thousands of still frames to choose from. I'm pretty sure everybody is on there more than once.
