This 'go green" mania around here is killing me.
I'm gonna eat a little green, then go out for a swing! Holla!
Ever the emotional eater, Kibabu swallows his sorrows as Lionel Messi kicks Barca to victory over Manchester United.
This 800 pound Gorilla is appropriately named "Inflation 2010".
"That's right, you with the camera and the lunch box, come a little closer.. don't mind me .. I'm busy eating lettuce... that's it, a little closer..."
Man, I can't do anything without the paparazzi snapping pictures of me!
Kibabu, the birthday gorilla, eats a healthy serving of lettuce as thousands of environmentally-minded shutterbugs snap photos with their mobile phones.
At least they mixed it up for my birthday; the iceberg lettuce was starting to get booring. Now, if I could just get the humans to be so healthy........
Could I have croutons included next time?
This was all that they could afford to give me on my birthday. Thanks Recession. It's the thought that counts. 😉
I no longer want to be referred to as the "800 pound Gorilla in the room"
Kibabu celebrates his 32nd birthday at the day spa.

National spokesanimal for the USDA: Watch and learn my fellow Americans....this is why we don't have an obesity epidemic among gorillas!
Hey, guy's I'm a gorilla not a bird!
Now Obama knows how i feel your just locked up in this zoo and all you get it lettuce!
I requested carrot cake, I guess Lettuce cake isn't quite the same concept

Irmo, South Carolina
Is this iceburg? I thought I asked for romaine! Waiter!
"Ape"-periances are everything. They told me that if I eat this in front of the cameras that the cake will be back behind the curtain.
"Kirstie Alley and i have both vowed to be in bikins again on Oprah"

5 more pounds and I should be able to scale the empire state building with Faye Ray in my hand.

It isn't easy eating green. Gimme a Big Mac!
No, really, it's good. Mmmm....tastes just like chicken!
I should have opted for the slimfast.
I keep telling them that Wikipedia is wrong... I'm NOT a vegetarian!
Just goes to show you are never too old to go green!
Let them eat cake!
Hey what do I know? I'm just the 795# gorrilla in the room!
I've already lost 100 lbs. and they are STILL feeding me salads!!
I hate New Year's resolutions.
why do I have to diet because my wife is on a diet!?
The diet, I can handle. It's the cardio that's killing me.
What separates man from beast? Birthday cake.
I wish Anderson Cooper would send me a XXXL Beat 360 T-shirt for my birthday instead of this piece of lettuce...
In response to the H1N1 outbreak, ever environmentally and germ conscious Kibabu always takes care to sneeze into an organic hanky.
No...no...I don't need a fork.
"Ok, that's the last time I'll allow myself to be compared to Kirstie Alley."
Thank goodness I finally made it to my salad days!
"This is the last time I'm listening to Dr. Oz"
