Introducing Jerry Giraffe and Meziadin
Today I gave Miss Raffe a kiss on her forehead, and closed the lid on the box in which darkness will be her only companion until she reaches the household of Oxirane.
I hope she has a safe journey. |

Trusting me, and smiling, before I close the lid and condemn her to darkness for a trip across the ocean:

Looks like she'll be able to frolic in the snow...
![]() But don't worry, we have plenty of mittens, wool hats, hot toddies and leftover turkey...plus I stocked up on spiced rum and eggnog yesterday so she'll be fine! |

Too late Nominal
![]() She is already on her way. Once she arrives, Oxirane will surely treat her well and feed her hungry belly. |

|
||||
|
||||
I hope you at least poked a couple of holes. Gave her a water bottle. Maybe some snacks.
|
#7
|
||||
|
||||
She has wine and cheese (and crackers), and plenty of nutella.
She also memorized "The hitchhikers guide to the USA" the last month. She grabbed a towel, and said "Ok Jim,let's go!". Then she downed a bottle of whiskey, smoked a cigarette, applied deodorant, and settled down. She is a very brave girl. |

Anyone else see a mad cross-eyed person in that image? (The Albany-Kingston section of the Thruway really seals it as the bridge of the nose.)

So on one stretch of highway you've got Springfield, Northampton, Greenfield, Battleboro, and... Springfield. Nope, not confusing at all.
|

Somewhere along that highway there's gotta be an interchange with signs to Springfield pointing both directions.

Oh, that explains it. Read reports from various postal workers that they've been hearing terrified whimpers and scratching coming from an overseas package but it's always gone before they have a chance to investigate...

Who is THAT? That is NOT the Raffles I sent off, lo many moons ago...
![]() Do not have Flickr anymore; no way to put a pic up, so you'll have to trust me on this. ![]() I am saddened by the loss of Raffles, a fine ungulate. ![]() |

Indeed - that is Miss Raffe - she is quite alright.
The family is stuck somewhere in a chilean blob, but while we wait, Miss Raffe will entertain us. I hope, |

Miss Raffe has arrived safe and sound...with her proper letter of introductions...and just in time to help decorate the tree!

She looks so happy to be there! I'm sure she'll have a wonderful time with you and your family.

Only if you mix up a proper roux like Glazer told you.

We got 26" of snow last week, so I was hoping to get some pictures of her frolicking in the snow, but since we've had two days of rain and highs in the upper 40's (that's oF for us, 7 - 9oC for Jim), so now we have about 13" of mush...that's not gonna happen...but we're likely to get some snow before she heads out to the PNW, so we still have time...we're fitting her for Ravens gear - big game coming up Thursday night...

Is counselling being provided to help with the psychological damage?

Hi Rebo - just sent you a PM with the latest one I have.

This makes me very happy. All those dark days in a box, and there she is, in the warmth, comfort and a loving family – and a x-mas tree! She LOVES that!
Miss Raffe, although she misbehaves at times, is generally well behaved, and I did tell her in STERN WORDS no less, to behave on her travels. Thank you Oxirane, your hospitality is truly appreciated. I am unsure if I included the rules, but she has probably charmed you already. Just to be safe though. - no Nutella after midnight (it causes incessant singing) - do not tickle/scratch her left foot sole before warning family pets (it causes her to emit a weird sound – she doesn’t mean to cause harm, she just can’t help herself). - She may sneak out for a smoke now and then, and she also likes coffee in the morning. Just ignore these nasty habits of her, she would never partake in such inside your house. I do hope she behaves – again, thank you for your hospitality. I am sure I , and maybe a Raffer or two, look forward to the tales and pictures of her US adventure. Again, and I can’t stress this enough – thank you! And please bear with her, ehm, odd habits. She likes kids and family pets though, and is pretty easy going. |

What's with the postal box in the background? Is that where she sleeps?

Only the finest Amazon box for her...

One monkey named "Giraffe"* has been very interested when pictures of Miss Raffe are on the screen. We may have something brewing.

Aw!
![]() I am happy she still has a smile. Has she been behaving, all things considered. relatively well? I told her to behave before she went on her trip, but who knows what dark cold days in a box with only Nutella, Water, Whisky and the live CD "Saxon" The eagle has landed" can do to a relatively inexperienced Giraffe far away from home. You did not tickle her left foot right? I really hope she behaves well. |

But maybe Oxi can tell us if she has changed - she used to be very well behaved. |

Hello Oxirane,
I wish to ask you if Miss Raffe is still behaving? I also want to ask if Miss Raffe has mentioned to you, whether she is pretty happy at her current domicile, or whether she has perhaps discussed with you, in a calm manner of of course, her desire to move on - and see other parts of the great country you inhabit. Could you do me a favor and ask her these questions? I do not expect an immediate answer, I know her well and sometimes she needs to, eh, sleep. But when she is sober, perhaps you could bring these questions forth? I do hope she has behaved, and not brought too many troubles towards your peaceful life. Kind regards, Jim |

I think Jim's hinting he wants her back.
She'll come back when she's damn good and ready... |
#41
|
||||
|
||||
No. Jim is hinting that it is time for Miss Raffe to investigate other parts of your great country, meet other people, and post pictures of her adventure,
That is what Jim is hinting at. |
#42
|
||||
|
||||
Let's see, Raffe goes to visit The Chilean Blob and neither are heard from again. Now Miss Raffe and Oxirane both are incommunicado.
It appears that Giraffe is only hosting this board so his family members can travel around the World ax murdering posters. It all makes since now. Jim you're lucky you kept her too liquored up to lift an ax. |

Oxi had talked about sending her to me next. I'm ready! I've been thinking about getting a big, multi-tier kennel for foster kitties. I might put her in there at night, just in case.

Is it possible we're looking at some sort of hostage situation or they're on a cross-country killing spree or something?
