Fast Car, and pretty much everything from Taylor Swift's Eras album.

It's a short list of songs that will make me turn off the radio, but these are at the top of the list.
Typically, animals migrate long distances because they NEED to, change in resource availability or weather. No, I'm not advocating for putting a herd of elephants in a backyard. I'm saying, as has been stated before by others, that food is obviously plentiful year round in a zoo, and weather can be predicted or otherwise anticipated and shelter provided. In the same vein, there's something to be said for effective enrichment programs as well as use and complexity of space. Would you rather spend all day in a barren Superdome or your bedroom with a bed, a TV, books, video games, and a mini fridge?
Conservation: Mongolian wood horses, Pere David's deer, American bison, California condor, bongos, golden lion tamarins, Arabian oryx, and the list goes on. These are species that would almost certainly not be around without zoo -based breeding and reintroduction into the wild. Otherwise, zoos are excellent providers of expertise, hands, and monies for conservation initiatives. Lest I forget to mention the education of zoo visitors.
Ambassador animals are a grey area. There are right and wrong ways to handle and present as well as to incorporate choice into the animal's life, but how do you really know if the animal does choose to be handled, touched, and shown to potentially a hundred children in one room? Also, they tend to have more skimpy smaller housing than exhibit-based specimens of the same species. (I don't oppose ambassador animals, but worked with people who have). Lincoln Park and Detroit have phased them out, and that doesn't hold them back as some of the most respected zoos in the field.
Whether or not you decide the zoo world is right for you, and whether or not it's because of your morals and values, I hope you find yourself a job that fulfills you.
As long as I see you in them, they will be
Not knocking her or anyone. Just trying to say she's got the tanned legs the country singers swoon over.
Something something tanned legs. Something something truck.
Clint Maralchuk, former Buffalo Sabres player known for having his jugular accidentally slashed midgame on live TV and almost died from that. Plus, finally some NHL representation.
U.S. Senator Chuck Schumer.
I used to work at the Bronx Zoo's budgie feeding exhibit. He and his entourage of friends, his security detail, and I'm 90% sure tennis icon Billie Jean King (whom I didn't talk to) paid us a visit one day. I had no prior knowledge that they were visiting, so it was a big surprise to me. Regular visitors weren't with them/us, just myself and two other coworkers. I went to my coworker who manned the exit door and asked if that was him. She said "yes. That's why we got this place ready so quickly." Later, the man himself asked me, and I quote, "do the birds often shit on the customers?" I said "definitely sometimes, but less often than you might think." They were all nice, well behaved. When they left, they went into some kind of maintenance truck (for security reasons, no doubt). If you had no idea, you'd think they were maintenance workers or something off to repair something. Certainly an exciting day at an already-exciting office for me.
Honorable mentions: Joe and Murr of Impractical Jokers after a show in Buffalo, Mario Lopez at a book signing when I was a kid, Emilio Estevez twice at a restaurant I worked at in Cincinnati, and Buffalo mayor Byron Brown at a talk he gave at my college.
Speak for yourself, you just described my fantasy
"Let me out! Let me out!"
I suggested "Olympians" to pay homage to their hosting the 2002 Winter Olympics, but the Black Diamonds make me happy for the same reason.
Aahhhh! Warn a guy before you sneak up on me like that! Gotta say I like what I see though.
My guess is whoever is standing in the thumb
It's not that I think Aubrey Plaza isn't attractive. She just looks more cute and pretty than hot to me. She's just so small and without curvature. She's like a placement grew a pair of legs. I'm also not into super sarcastic people, but obviously looks don't have anything to do with that.
I think it started getting bad after Jeff left and tanked even worse after he came back. I've more or less stopped paying attention since then.
Your cootie patootie booty will drive me loopy!
"Hey girl. I'm like the Berlin Wall. I go down."
Mutt Jones and the Beat of the Drum: Mutt Jones, son of legendary archeologist and professor Indiana Jones, fights in the Vietnam War. He is disgusted by the desecration of historic objects during the war. After an air raid in the jungle uncovers the Ngoc Lu drum, Mutt strives to see it safe in a museum somewhere, anywhere. He faces opposition on two fronts: the Vietnamese citizens defending their homeland and his fellow Americans who think he defected.
Short Round and the Book of Fate: still a bit spotty on the plot, but something to the effect of Short Round uncovers an original manuscript of the Old Testament, then something something something he gets involved in the Yom Kippur War and something something something someplace threatened with biblical destruction ala Sodom and Gomorrah. Maybe bring back the OG ark of the covenant to preserve the original Bible manuscripts.
