Down to Junior’s farm?

“I was talking to an Eskimo
Said he was hoping for a fall of snow
When up popped a sea lion ready to go”

Anyone else notice how few songs there are that mention sea lions? Maybe they’re lashing in the name of sea lion social justice. Or they’re just jerks.

Sea lions are mammals. Could it be rabid?

Swimming in the ocean in December? Major shrinkage! Sea lion probably mistook it for acorns.

Check out the ingredients of any salves, etc, he might have been using. Prep H contains Shark’s liver oil.

Even the sea lion community hates San Fagcisco.

Rise up, sea life. I want the Walrus and Octopus community to march on Pelosi's house too.

Let's get this party started. All hands and fins on deck.

Maybe Aquaman is behind this insurgency.

It sounds like it has eyes on this critter. Kill the damn thing if it has bitten someone. There’s no such thing as one free bite. And obviously, their supposed “gentle” cover has been blown.
