Drunk mountain gorillas are clearly more genetically advanced than we are.
Dash would be ok.
I would have been holding a .375 H&H magnum rifle, not a camera.
“OK, Gargantua, bring it.”
When the beer is tapped it must be cooled from 96.8F to 40F.
Color is fine for bamboo beer.
Geezes. When you guys fart, only DOGS can hear it! d;^)
And yes, the comma was on purpose. Heehee.
I thought for sure after reading the title it was going to be about a party at the White House.
Just an innocent primate.
Lucky the gorilla did not mistake him for a female!
