They float about doing nothing all day then eat anyone that comes near

Yup. Ghana has a hippo sanctuary n I begged everyone to come visit it with me to see hippos in their natural habitat. Still not found a willing travel buddy

Well I did, but she said she would be able to hug a lion cos animals and her have an understanding so the lion would know she wouldn't wanna hurt it. So I ruled her out myself. Cos I wanna see the hippos. Not get dead cos my travel buddy tried to stroke one

Platypuses (is that the correct plural form? I

I have no idea.

AU spellcheck likes it. But we all know spellcheck has ulterior motives and questionable priorities.

I dooooo know (one of the few benefits of marrying a classicist) The plural of octopus IS octopodus. But that doesn’t make sense for platypus. Unless we’re trying to say they’ve got platy-feet? Who knows. Maybe platy-feet is a thing.

Yo! @ Aussie & Kiwi members... aside from “damn cool” ...what are a bunch of platypus creatures called?

So I ruled her out myself.

Wise decision.

Dead friends don’t travel well in carryon.

And try explaining THAT to customs officials. They get irate enough about 2 computers. An extra head and arm in a carryall? I think might get awkward.

Platypi (still on the plural) is reminding me of that British dish that had sea creatures and birds and stuff escaping out of it. Stargazer?

Yes cos I would totally grab that friend out a hippos mouth.. you seen them teeth? If you think I have the balls to take on a hippo to get myself arrested at customs for a dead body in my carry on, I fear you seriously overestimate my courage

No idea. But now I have "four and twenty blackbirds baked in a pie.. and when that pie was open the birds began to sing..." in my head.. so thanks for that

 

[Friday]

Ha! Yes. Stargazer. Disturbing images to follow.

Your food would like to say “Hello!” Kind of like your friend. Let’s meet the meat!

 

[Friday]

Okay, this one’s not too bad. The fish head ones I can’t deal with this early in the morning.

 

[Chris-duck]

Hahaha. Yeah. Not a thing I've seen, but I've mostly stuck to Scotland n northern England. Can't say it's something I'd have eaten if I was down south either though. I'm feeling pretty vegetarian looking at it

Right???

 

[Friday]

Do you think you’ll do the hippo preserve?

(those teeth look like bananas. Or, you know!getting bit wih a mouthful of baseball bats).

 

[Friday]

Ooooooh... I wonder if the Pandemic people would PAY you to go on holiday, provided you bring things to jab people with.
