The Blob has them now, received from loshan. I spotted a pic on Facebook that looks to prove that being pent up in a box has caused the lot of them to be fruitful and multiply.

I'm still enslaving hosting them. I've been a little slack (but not as slack as some ) but I'll upload pix soon. In the meantime, here's a pic to reassure y'all that they're...fine.

About what I expected. You can take the giraffe out of the box, but you can't take the box out of the giraffe...

I miss pictures of Mr. and Mrs Giraffe.

Anyone know where they are? I would like to offer them free accommodation.

The family is fine and working hard in the salt mines enjoying their leisure time here in Dorkland. I'll post some pix this weekend and send them to their next posting. Jim Nightshade I think I still have your address from the postcard thing.

But I am an idiot and cannot see if my reply was received.

Was it?

There were politicians, notables, rock stars and strippers, a philosopher and a technician, a baker, a butcher, a green grocer and a supermarket cashier – all waiting for the happy family, and ready to shower them with gifts. My boss had lined up snacks, and my colleagues no doubt had lascivious silly pranks planned.

I know, that in the server room, on one of the core Nexus switches, I made a port just for them to fiddle with. I also prepared a few amphenol coils they could cuddle in. Next to my desk, I had a cat box with blankets and a sign to not wake up the lovers. On top of the cat box was a dish where you could donate money to a good cause (in this case, a dinner for the raffers).

My favorite Mexican restaurant had a seat ready as well.

Sadly, none of that happened.

They all don’t believe me anymore, so I will have to go find a new, fresh, giraffe, maybe with a Fenris, and start to take pictures and make a blog.

This will happen very soon. After that post, the new Giraffe and Fenris will need traveling I think – we will get to that in due time.

But – before I go to all that trouble, I must ask.

Blobby – where family?

We're wondering where our travelling package of giraffe toys has got to--it was last with The Chilean Blob, who indicated her intention to send it along to Jim Nightshade overseas but it's not arrived. We've been passing this thing along for YEARS and would rather not have the streak broken.

You should look for some of the photo threads we've posted, they're pretty amusing. I got the package fairly early and added a bunch of stuff like a trashy girlfriend for the original giraffe and some crocheted items and the like. Some of the pics from my thread were taken at Darmund's old place in N Portland.

I am sorry I just love them so so much. I promise I am sending them out Monday or Tuesday. Gonna try to smoosh them in a smaller box to minimize the cost of sending them to Nightshadeland.

Hey, no rush. Now that we know they are fine a picture will do.

Besides, they would probably like it here in spring better than gray cold January,

No - I never heard further.

Maybe I should sent my own RaffyBoy on a journey - but who would want to host him'? And treat him well? RaffyBoy needs stomach scritches and a drink every now and then.

I'm gonna be very sad if the Raffer family is lost--I did a fair bit of work on the early stages, including REAL CROCHETED ITEMS and the like. Harumph.
