BESTOW A TITLE UPON THE GANGLING FREAKBEAST

The Daily Telegraph wants some help:

What do you think the giraffe born at Western Plains Zoo should be called? Click here to send us your feedback.

I’ve gone for "Stilty, the leaf-suckin' sky horse". It was either that or "Ann Coulter".

Actually, I quite like Ann Coulter. The legs are faintly giraffoid, however.

How about calling him "Corky"? Huh, what, you're talking about a giraffe. Sorry, I thought you were talking about Sammy Sosa.

Where do you come up with these titles Tim? "Gangling Freakbeast", my screen nearly caught my coffee.

What about "Mongo, the Acacia Munching Mutant"?
Or for something cute, how about "Hyena Bait"?

"What about "Mongo, the Acacia Munching Mutant"?"

Heh paul, I first read that as "Margot"

It still fit, funnily enough.

c) Again, like the UN its dominant functioning part is its tongue.

How can someone object to Michael Moore, but like Ann Coulter?

They're as alike as two peas in a pod (at least, when one of the peas is grossly obese and the other is a dessicated anorexic tart).

Giraffe named Ann Coulter + ladder = stairway to heaven.

Posted by: ZsaZsa at July 9, 2003 at 08:20 PM

Don't you mean "stairway to harridan"?

Posted by: Mork at July 9, 2003 at 08:24 PM

Mork,

Coulter over Moore? Easy. Two reasons. First, Coulter isn't afraid to mix it up with the ''enemy''. The live interview by Katie Couric, the ''affable Eva Braun'' of US television was as funny as anything I've ever watched on TV. She kept her cool and Katie was fuming. Moore pretty much only hangs with the lefty sycophants in the media, and when he is on TV he looks disgusting and sounds worse. Second, I can work up a good sex dream about Coulter. It's a bony, uncomfortable one, but it works. Michael Moore and sex makes me think of sea lions and that peculiar smell they emit. Not a pleasant thought, and it has the added smellavision component.

Now I am disgusted to admit that I've always had the hots for Katrina vanden Heuvel of the US lefty rag ''The Nation''. Attractive, filthy rich, and I find the permanent lefty sneer somehow appealing. The way she answers a simple how are you question with a 2 minute diatribe on how she's fine considering that Bush is destroying the world shows great breath control. I always wanted to find a rich stupid woman. My wife is waaayy to intelligent, right when I think I've gotten away with something, she just laughs at me.

Look what John Kerry has done with a rich stupid wife?

Sorry about the length Tim

Jim, you had me at "attractive, filthy rich" . . .

Posted by: Mork at July 9, 2003 at 11:43 PM

Enough with the politics already- what's wrong with "Knob-Head"?
Or maybe "Phlegmy, the Catarrh Creature".

Posted by: paul bickford at July 9, 2003 at 11:50 PM

One more for good measure- how about-
"The High Altitude Hirsute Hatrack"?

Sorry about the length Tim

Jim Harris,

Why the apology? You just keep on writing as l-o-n-g as you want. Your style is lip smacking good.

I'm looking forward to more.

`Flecky, the Rubber Neck Garden Hose '- Steve Bracks.

In case the giraffe is a schizophrenic:


`Blinky,the Four Legged Anaconda' - Whitlam and Fazer.

This one, however, is a terrifying freak :

`Slinky, the Mutant Moose' - Beazely-Crean-Latham-Rudd-Lawrence.
