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!!

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

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?

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.
