No caption, but the picture does relate to an experience of mine. Summer of '74, about 8AM on a Saturday morning, just finished a big bowl of weed driving along Soledad Canyon Road that runs from just South of Palmdale,California, through Acton, and down to LA. Just before you get to Tipi Hedren's ( Star of Hitchcock's "The Birds" ) exotic animal preserve, Shambala (http://www.shambala.org/),there is a bridge across a stream. There was a guy sitting on the guard rail. Not sooooo strange, right? Then I notice he has a couple of lengths of large chain in his hands. THEN I notice. on the ENDS of those chains, are a male lion and a Siberian tiger. Guess he was taking them out for a morning stroll. Anyway, being stoned and all and not really sure I had seen what I saw, I turned around at the entrance to the preserve to get another look, and sure enough, there they were. One of my coolest life experiences.
Look buddy , I don't care if that actor is waiting to be mauled and this is the most important scene in the movie. You've been livin' high off this lion for years and it's time you came up with some fresh gazelle for your star. And don't try any of your threats , either. I've got an observer to make sure no animals were harmed in the making of this film.
Your idea of "lunch wagon" might be this approaching Ice Cream Truck, while mine is the Impala or the Rabbit stopped at the light, but no damned Beetles!

Because you're mine, I walk the lion."
I just have to poke the lion with this metal pipe a few times.
