I don't know why, but I busted out laughing reading your post, and I'm still giggling as I type this..
I absolutely hate coconut too!!!
Like hate with a passion bordering on religious zealously!!!
Sorry.. Never saw anyone state that like that before and just hit me just right!
Although I do really agree with the rest of what you say.. Which is why I really try to not hate on anyone, even if it's something I'm totally not into and would never do (scat play comes to mind as an example) [hork, hork, hork] (the sound a cat makes just before barfing up a hairball)
I dunno.. seems people these days have nothing else better to do than trying to make themselves feel better about themselves by hating on someone else...
Funny thing about zoos, and maybe you can relate (I've read your story, and loved it btw), but I've noticed that anyone that had enough balls to try zoo, understands, and the ones that don't understand are the ones that have no experience...
