... What would you do at the zoo?
Go look at
this, okay? It's really, really funny, and I laughed hard when I saw it. Mike and Jen are silly people... there's a story behind it, of course, but you have to go look at the picture first before you get to hear the story, okay? So,
go look, okay? Right now. Then I'll tell the story.

Have you looked? Are you cheating?

Okay. About a year and a half ago, when Jade and I were dating (we weren't actually going out, but we went on a few dates), we joked about going to the zoo, stealing a giraffe, travelling to Africa on our giraffe, and making it back in time for breakfast the next morning.
I told Jen about it, and the story became just as much (moreso, actually) a joke with her and Mike as it did with Jade, because we always talked about how I was going to steal a giraffe from the zoo and use it to ride across Canada to go visit them.
Last spring, Mike asked me to send him a picture of me riding something, so I sent a few, but none of them turned out right, or were the right angle, or anything like that. When I went out there last summer, Jen took a few pictures of me sitting on Bertha, her big rubbermaid container that she packs when she moves. I sent the doubles back to her when I sent the rest of the pictures from that week, and then kinda forgot about it.
Now, since the giraffe joke had been several months before the request for the picture, and they were never mentioned in conjunction with each other, I didn't put 2 and 2 together and figure out why they wanted the picture of me. One day a few weeks ago, though, I was checking my email in London and came across an email from Mike with a link in it to this page.
Dang it; I thought I could get away with it!! I thought no one would ever catch me with Geraldine the Giraffe! :o)
