The First Annual International Mammal Day occurred on September
4th, 2011. It began with the Hedge.
Today is the Third Annual International Mammal Day. I don't think I have that shirt anymore. The Boatman and I and the Big Black Dog are lying around, eating snacks and licking each other. We are no longer fundamentalists, and so we are going to forgo the traditional Stictly Human Task. No hedge to clip, no shelves to paint, no deck to build. Likely, we are even too lazy to bother with a picture.

Mammal Day is reserved for Mammal Time. Mammal Time is for
engaging in all of your favourite mammal things: sleeping, eating snacks, lying
on top of your loved ones, and possibly licking them. That's what mammals do.
Traditionally and paradoxically, on International Mammal Day, the Boatman and I
give ourselves fully to one Strictly Human Task. On the first International
Mammal Day, we clipped the Hedge.
On the second International Mammal Day, we painted shelves.
First we scrubbed them because they were very dirty. Here I am scrubbing the
shelves. I am working very hard. And I'm wearing the same shirt as on the First
International Mammal Day. Like the shelves, it was very dirty.
Today is the Third Annual International Mammal Day. I don't think I have that shirt anymore. The Boatman and I and the Big Black Dog are lying around, eating snacks and licking each other. We are no longer fundamentalists, and so we are going to forgo the traditional Stictly Human Task. No hedge to clip, no shelves to paint, no deck to build. Likely, we are even too lazy to bother with a picture.
The End.
