Cracked Onion

October 24, 2005

Deeply engaged in his rapture of vintage breakfast cereals, Vino was unaware of a slip of paper which fluttered out from the pocket of his double stitch parka as he reached for a handkerchief. It was discovered later that evening by an overweight custodian named Bends, who spotted it beneath the display for Lazy O's. Here is what was written on the paper:

6 Leontopithecus rosalia (Golden Lion Tamarin)
2 Ateles belzebuth hybridus (Hybrid Spider Monkey)
1 Panthera pardus orientalis (Amur Leopard)
11 Leopardus pardalis albescens (Texas Ocelot)
1 Ailurus fulgens (Lesser Panda)
2 Gazella cuvieri (Cuvier's Gazelle)
4 Cervus eldi eldi (Manipur Brow-Antlered Deer)
3 Lynx pardinus (Iberian Lynx)
31 Chinchilla brevicaudata (Short-tailed Chinchilla)
7 Burramys parvus (Broom's Pygmy-possum)
2 Lasiorhinus krefftii (Northern Hairy-nosed Wombat)
1 Gorilla gorilla (Gorilla)
