An Angry Pacifist

via

Born July 1, 1996

All day long he scoops up fish To fill his bill, is his wish Diving fast and diving low Hoping those fish are very slow!

Scoop was a Teenie Beanie as well!

In 1998, Scoop was given out with a commemorative card to the first 5000 children to attend the Houston Comets vs Phoenix Mercury game!

Hiroshi Nagai's paintings need sunglasses to look at.

They look like how it feels to walk across a parking lot on a 98° summer day without a speck of shade in sight.

They look like heaven but also like you'd burn your bare feet on the ground.

Even when you can see shade you know it's not enough and the minute you step out you'll be burnt to a crisp like a vampire.

This feels like I could trip on that radio and fall right into that water, feeling the crystal waves as I drop in.

And this, a nice stroll down a resort strip, where my sunscreened skin could literally feel cooked if I leaned too close to the tiling.

And then a nice stretch of summer street, wherein you could see your face in the flushed red of that car provided it didn't blind you from its sunny reflections.
