Who gives a shit about the fucking marmot?

"Also, let's not forget -- let's NOT forget, Dude -- that keeping wildlife, an amphibious rodent, for uh, domestic, you know, within the city -- that ain't legal either."

Clearly I haven't yet posted the details of my trip to Missouri. I feel really bad about this, like I've wronged the Internet in some terrible way. For some strange reason, I want this travelogue to be a cut above the usual off-the-cuff tripe I post here. So I'm actually, you know, writing and editing (!) the thing. It's anybody's guess whether or not you'll get it before Thanksgiving, as I am currently madd preoccupied with other shit. So, in loo (sp) of a travelogue, please accept the above picture of an amphibious rodent.
