kippurbirdI got tongued by a giraffe today.
Not many people can say that really.
I went to the Santa Barabra Zoo today. It's a nice, if kinda small. They had lions and monkies and lemurs and anteaters and gorrillas and giraffes and all sorts of nifty critters. I even got to feed the giraffes. They gave you pellets about the size of a cell phone if thinner, and red. You held them out to the giraffe and it snatched it with its tongue. This one giraffe really liked me, it kept on licking me even when I didn't have any more pellets to feed it. Got me on the arm, and the face. Its tounge was really rough. All the better to grip leaves with I imagine. It didn't lick any of the other people feeding it that I saw. Mom says that's because they (animals) can sense who really like them. I don't know about that, but I thought it was neat.
I bought fifty dollars worth of dinosaur models there too. I collect the Carnegie Collection models. I've had a very hard time finding them so I went a little nuts when I found them at the gift shop. I got a triceratops, Quetzalcoatlus (which is a flying one) and a Brachiosarus. That's the one that broke the bank at thirty one dollars. It's the largest one they have. And it's worth every penny.
Oh and we saw a pair of tortises going past third base. Which was funny because there were a bunch of kids there and they didn't know what was going on but some of the adults did. Though some thought they were fighting.
In other news, I got the idea for a long drabble dealing with Mpreg. It involves Legolas telling Aragorn he's pregnant and then Aragorn thinking he's a girl and then figures that Legolas is delusional because, you know, guys can't get pregnant so he tries to fix it.
