KOALAS ARE LITERALLY SMOOTH-BRAINED DUMBASSES THAT EAT MILDLY TOXIC PLANT FOR A LIVING ONLY TO BE FORCED TO EAT DIRT/MOTHER’S SHIT (IN THE CASE OF THE NEWBORNS) TO HAVE SOME BACTERIAL MICROFLORA.Best bears?
KOALAS ARE SO STUPID THEY WOULDN’T RECOGNIZE THE ONLY THING THEY EAT, THE EUCALYPTUS LEAVES, IF YOU SERVED THEM
A ON A PLATE.
THEY HAVE INCREDIBLY THICK SKULL, BECAUSE THEY HAD TO EVOLVE SOME FORM OF FALL RESISTANCE DAMAGE.
AND THEY ARE UNABLE TO UNDERSTAND RAIN.

From what I've heard they're also just straight-up assholes. But they're so freaking cute to look at!

Koala females are good mothers though. That is respectable.

Replace "dog" with "koala" and "personality" with "cute".
A big part of why there are a lot more funds set up to save polar bears than the Galapagos marine iguana.

Looks like a sea dragon, I am down for saving those even on an emotional level.
As far as pragmatism goes, we should do far more to save bees rather than PRC's propaganda toy (not the pandas' fault, but 'tis true).

Question for a Devils fan who might be going to Raleigh in two weeks for the game against y'all. I know in Philly theyll spit on you and stuff for wearing the oppositions stuff but I can't imagine it's like that in Raleigh, is it? Southern hospitality and all I'd imagine it wouldn't be that bad.
Don't act like an asshole and you won't have any problems.

Very few people will care. We're used to opposing team fans in the building. Since we both wear red you'll blend in to be honest.
Welcome to town. Enjoy the game. As long as you are cordial, everyone around you likely will be as well.

Good call, didn't even really think about that
I mean, yeah. That won't be a problem.
Appreciate that.

No, here in Raleigh we are the ones who get spit on and beers thrown on by opposing fans.

Well I can assume y'all that's not my style. I fully anticipate you guys shit kicking us though so there's that.

Although I can't promise you won't be attacked by vicious Rangers fans here, as we have a lot because they won't stop moving down here. Somebody should build a wall in Roanoke Rapids, tbh
Yes, sometimes. The Seymour-Johnson Air Force Base in Goldsboro, NC has air shows usually biannually. It is called the Wings over Wayne (Wayne county is where the base is located. This years show has been postponed until next year, unfortunately.
Wings over Wayne Air Show

So like @MinJaBen mentioned, the closest airshow to Raleigh is Wings over Wayne at Seymour-Johnson AFB. That said you'd have a couple other options that *are* scheduled for this year. First would be the Shaw Air & Space Expo at Shaw AFB in Sumter, South Carolina. That's scheduled for April 2nd and April 3rd of this year. The full lineup for Shaw hasn't been solidified yet but it will definitely feature the USAF's F-16 Demo team (which is based at Shaw) and the Thunderbirds. I wouldn't be surprised to see some of the other USAF demo teams (A-10, F-22, and F-35) participate as well. MCAS Cherry Point in Havelock, NC also usually has the Cherry Point Air Show which will be September 25th and September 26th. The Blue Angels are on the schedule for that one, again, not sure who else - given that they're based there, I wouldn't be surprised to see an AV-8B demo or an F-35B up from MCAS Beaufort.
Shame about Wings over Wayne though - how often could you say went to an airshow about 12 miles away from where there was very nearly an accidental nuclear explosion?
Incidentally, I found a reference to tar heels, about North Carolinans and their overseas competition with Scandinavian tar and lumber producers. I didn't know Raleigh was a city already then, early nineteens. "Tar heel", now I get it.

Also a Civil War reference, about North Carolina soldiers being seemingly unable to retreat, as though they had tar on their heels. A good history here: What's in a Name? Why We're All Called Tar Heels | UNC General Alumni Association
