The MO (Mysterious Otherfucker) and I, seeing the beautiful weather, decided to head down to Coney Island. All the big rides are closed down for the winter, but that didn't bother me, I think I could live without a trip on the Cyclone.

We started off at, where else, Nathan's, where I had a chili dog and cheese fries (which I dedicated to Amro), then a stroll along the boardwalk, and a game of 'Shoot the Freak' (where you have to fire paintballs at a human target). The target was also acting as barker, and he had a good patter. To a guy walking by with two girls. "Hey, at least pay for the third wheel, she ain't gonna have no fun this weekend!"

After enjoying the sun and the beach, we headed off to the NY Aquarium, where I saw this little guy, along with his beautiful, serene mom and his big old show-off of a dad.

When we got to the walrus enclosure (which has an outside section and a 'sea cliffs' section where you can see them underwater) the mom had hidden the baby away in a corner so she could have a swim. She was looping round and round, swimming upside down towards the glass, and swooping up just as you thought she'd bump her head.

Then she fetched her baby and swam around with him a little. He's cute, and not so little any more.

Then, ha! The dad got in on the act. He swam right up close to the glass, with his head at eye level to everyone, making eye contact with people, really looking at them closely. It was amazing.

Then he stretched himself to full height - a magnificent creature - and just as we were all admiring how handsome he is, he fired off a giant shit into the water.

All the little kids were going "Eeeeew, mom, he's pooping!" and everyone laughed, including, I suspect, the walrus.

Then, he swam round again, to, er, distribute his load through the water, and again approached us. Once more he stood full length, and this time we could see he was doing something with his rear flippers.

"Is he doing what I think he's doing?" I asked the MO. "I think he is".

Then, the big reveal - he moved his flippers away to show us his huge hard-on. "Mommy, what's that, mommy? What is it?" "Come on, kids, let's go see the sea lions".

You could almost hear the walrus laughing. It was hilarious.

There were also incredible sharks and turtles, jellyfish, oh, all kinds of amazing creatures. And the original Bathysphere, which was pretty damned incredible. Those were two brave men who went underwater in that tiny thing.

After the aquarium we had a stroll through Brighton Beach, which I thought was a really interesting neighbourhood, and certainly nowhere I'd have gone if I'd been exploring by myself. We had an early dinner in fantastic Georgian restaurant, Tamada and on the way home, stopped off in Midwood for the best bagel I've ever eaten, hot from the oven (cinnamon raisin).

So, there it is, my perfect day, just me and the MO, hanging out, enjoying each other's company, having fun.

(Oh, and plenty of hot monkey sex with the MO too. Yay for my non-vajayjaycation!

Hi, Jan! Please have some extra fun for me, okay? And post pics when you can.

and congratulations on all the sex. :)

Weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee! Yay for fun and sex!

Your trip to the aquarium sounds like mine and Specklet's trip to Portland Zoo where a Mandrill decided to first shag one of the females and then walk up to the glass at the front of the cage and play with himself. Everyone else was all "ewww" but I was taking photos and laughing. And here they are (you can thank me later):

Yay, glad you're having fun! I was just thinking of you the other day, hoping you were.

Cool stuff! I love doing stuff like that.

YAY!

Coney Island is not long for this world, as it exists now.

I am glad your day was so fun! What's up today?

(Aside from more hms?)

cheese fries (which I dedicated to Amro)

Aww, thanks!

Sounds lovely, ej. I'm glad you're having such a wonderful trip.

Glad you're having fun, EJ! Say hi to the NYC Mecha brethren for me.
