Packer Rats goes to Africa

[Guiness]

Well, I'm sitting here in Lagos, Nigeria, reading Packer Rats. I wonder if this is the first post made from the Dark Continent!? Anybody got something they want me to pick up while I'm here?

I tell ya, it's funny that this is the first place I came by after reading my e-mail...

Hippos eat people. You don't want a hippo!! Trust me, i've seen some pretty intense games of hungry, hungry hippos!!

[MJZiggy]

He'll be cute. He can live in my bathtub... :P And they don't eat you, they only maul you to death if you sneak up on them. Guiness, watch for hippos when you're in a boat. Do NOT sneak up on them.

you just have to get him to start smoking to stunt his growth so he stays small

How do you like that African heat? I have been all over the world and the heat/humidity in east Africa and the Congo was the worst I have ever experienced.

And they get along well with other pets.

Bring me gal grailees; that's what I want. A pair representing every country living in the house of B :lol:

[Guiness]

Good list folks - I'll see what I can do! Haven't seen much of those things - mostly just garbage and hookers. Wait!!! I know how to fulfill Bretsky's request.

*running footsteps* *door slam*

Ok, I'm back. Little light headed, and a lot more tired, but I've got Sophie and Brenda here. Visas are going to be tough.

I'm getting a couple tribal masks made - I'm anxious to see them. They are part of the traditional culture here.

Ivory - errr, maybe not such a good idea, eh?

[MJZiggy]

Where's my hippo? I even have a bit of snow here for him to play in today...

I read hippos are like the #1 killer in africa. I saw a video on youtube with a hippo dominating a lion or a tiger or some large cat awhile back.

They are. A lot of people get killed because they are traveling along in a boat and the hippos tend to hang out under the surface of the water and the people don't see them until it's too late. (See Animal Planet IS good for something!)

Don't even think about ivory man.......do not support the fucking poachers!
...and if you are caught bringing it into the country the hammer will fall. Not worth the bad karma....
