  1. Hey! There it is.

    Thanks Mickey.

    Captcha sez “doubt” ..as in, don’t doubt what you can do.

  2. It was great to help a little in your powerful efforts, Andy. I hope all the Expendables can join in by sending this link out, posting it on their blogs and Facebook pages, and interjecting it on forums and threads on related sites. It would be fun to make this go viral.

  4. Just passing through on a busy day, but want to say excellent work to Andy and Mickey. Even captcha says “hot”...

  5. thanks for ‘stirring the possum in China, Andy - and thanks for posting this photo, Mickey!  Excellent work, indeed - hi, Keir. 

    Things have been cooling down in Daylesford lately - only 70F today and some rain.  Politically, one of our conservative politicians has been suggesting cutting foreign aid (which is already quite low) and making spending cuts in the public service.  What’s new, I ask? 

    All best from down under,
    Helga

  8. Feel free to do it anyway, Michael.

  9. well, a bizarre fact i learned and may have posted here before is that if you cut up a starfish into pieces, those individual pieces are each able to form themselves into new starfish.

    I even made a picture about it when i found it out!

  12. also… apparently young sloths have not quite got the hang of being a sloth yet and therefore sometimes grab at their own arms thinking that they are tree branches and hit the deck!

  13. Let’s hope the starfish is a metaphor for the entire eco-system.

  14. well they are quite a good one actually because they have a natural defence against most kind of attacks that evolved over time. but they are suffering like everyone else on account of having a whole load of toxic shit dumped on or near their houses.

    They haven’t been able to evolve a solution to that one yet.

    it is a serious question whether anyone will be able to do it quick enough.

  15. mr darwin would indeed be quite alarmed.

    Posted by michael from not scotland  on  02/04  at  07:10 PM

  16. Has anyone had the chance to push this link? You know, show a little Expendable pride and get Andy’s efforts some further notice.

    Posted by Mickey Z. from Astoria  on  02/05  at  07:06 AM

  17. I tweeted it so it will have reached about 200 people that way.

    How many people looked at it I don’t know

  18. Thanks, Michael. Much appreciated.

  19. Astonishing photo. Ever seen a lunar fog bow? http://bit.ly/b3Kdue

  20. I’ve got a couple of people writing this up at the moment. It will go onto the PETA mainsite after the show itself. At that time we can send the pics to all the local Chinese mags and papers too, to do it before would risk a police shutdown.

    But it’s open season on English language sites.

  21. Great, Andy.

    Thanks for the pic, Michael.
