Now this is an extremely important LLA! post, as it comes in two parts and quite possibly involves my death.
In May 2005, I put a giraffe in a water bottle. It was one of those giraffes that claims to grow 600 times its original size in 72 hours. 72 hours later they were absolutely correct! The giraffe had grown so much it took the shape of the water bottle it had been encased in. Supposedly the giraffe should have shrunk back to its original size if left out of the water...but I wasn't ready for that just yet. Instead I woke up in the middle of the night, having just dreamt about the giraffe yelling at me that it "had a crink in its neck" (inanimate object are often very animate in my dreams...ho-hum, can't imagine why!) I got out of bed and at 2am cut the water bottle in half to revive the squished giraffe and looked for the next largest water container I had in the house. It just so happened that the next largest water container was my fancy blender. Here's what it looked like at that point:
I intended to keep it there for a few days, but since I barely ever go into the kitchen other than to get my cereal I forgot it was there. It wasn't until I brought a boy I had been dating to my apartment that I remembered it was there. The boy was visibly disturbed by something in the kitchen while I gave the tour. I realized later he was staring at the giraffe, which had become quite a monster pressed hard against the sides of my blender.
That was almost three months (and a few boys) ago and the giraffe is STILL living in my blender, which, if you do the math, is sorta-kinda over the 72 hour suggested time period. It's continued to grow. Its legs are falling off. It doesn't look too pretty. It doesn't even look like a giraffe anymore. I think it's time to take it out...but that leaves a few very important questions...
