Maybe Mr Howes has stinky fingers. :haha: link |
yeah, that hippo is looking a little skinny around the eyes...

Hahahahaha!!!! Baby hippos are dumb.

I loved that show: Chico and the Hand!
At first he wasn't a very hungry hungry hippo. |
It's not like Chico can actually see the puppet when he's eating, so I think "stinky hands" is probable. Though it is difficult to imagine a hippo with a persnickety palate. :)

Its a hippo? How many carrots do you need to feed it in a day? I don't know if there are enough hours in a day to hand feed the monster.
|
maybe hippos don't like corndogs.

Although if it came attached to a pack of laundry powder it might smell a bit nasty itself. |

If so, I think you'll find most Australian's love them, especially at their local 'show' which is like a carnival combined with an agricultural and livestock competition. I know it's the only time I eat them, but they taste bloody good amongst all the noise and dust and animal shit. |

We know the sausage is made from nothing but hooves and entrails...but you just don't think of that at the time. ;)

I was delighted and amazed when I first saw corndogs on sale in the, UK. Frozen ones, but well worth a try, especially as I had puzzled over what they were for a while (they're in The Dead Zone at the very least).
I was so disappointed. Perhaps you have to grow up with them. There's a sausage advert on tv at the moment - Walls I think - about how they only take the two best bits to make their sausages. Hmmmm. That would be breadcrumbs and colouring then I guess? Anyway, slightly back on topic before veering off again - as it's an English zoo I'd bet my bottom dollar that Chico the hippo is named after... well, Chico. Of X Factor fame. My family saw him performing at their campsite in Great Yarmouth about two weeks ago. Ah the sweet smell of success. Although Mum admitted he was a great entertainer and my neice (14) was completely smitten. |

OK, this is what I mean by a 'dagwood dog' or 'pluto pup'. The names are interchangeable.
eta: and of course this is what I think you mean when you say 'corndog'. Attachment 20546 |
