Correct. In prison, you don't generally have access to objects like knitting needles or crocheting hooks unless they are plastic. You can order from art supply catalogs but you are restricted on what you can get. Note that crocheting with a plastic hook is way harder than with an aluminum one.
Yeah I agree with Saccade...the idea that the pictured elephant is suffering could simply be that...an idea that is generated by the caption. For all we know, he/she was just scratching his/her head...on the other hand schadenfreude is kinda ugly so laughing at something that is unhappy is kinda uncool...
They left off scotch-eggs...when I visited Edinburgh they served it...basically a soft-cooked egg wrapped up with sausage and served with a chunky tomato sauce...yum
They always have these, or a variation that has chicks and no water, at the country fairs around here. I have to admit it's kind of mesmerizing watching them go round and round...
I can see it from both sides...on the one hand, yeah 5 year olds wearing silly costumes is not a political statement relax...on the other hand, how do 5 year olds learn how to be hateful? Maybe by belittling people by wearing silly costumes? I dunno but I figure I can always wear a kilt and make fun of my own heritage...
