Caiman Alert

Submitted by Sarah on Tue, 12/06/2005 - 4:29pm.

Keep an eye on the caption for the caiman photo here at OlyBlog. Notice that the caimans keep changing what they are uniting against? Or more accurately, they keep changing what they say they are against.

Who really speaks for the caimans? If a caiman growls in Olympia, does anyone ever really hear?

Next time someone invites you to join them for a smoke in a dark alley, think twice.

I might have to ask you eventually to explain it to me, I have this hunch that as soon as I figure it out, it will change.

Hmm, that might be still more understanding than I have. See, I talk a good game, but only to distract people (and caimans) from the fact that I don't know what I am talking about.

My guess is that only Rick and Steve really know what is going on. And they aren't going to tell us, cause it is secret. We don't know the caiman handshake yet.

EDIT: Nevermind, you meant "stevenl." I get used to only going by these handles that if there's any variation I don't know who you're talking about.

So, Caimans like smoking? If ever there was an animal who could be portrayed as a natural smoker - the Caiman has got to be it. (I am thinking along the lines of dragons here - natural smokers. Thought those poker playing dogs are certainly in the running.)

What about smokers in support of the smoking ban? - Caimans'? Hey, I gotta say I approve of the evolving concept.

I will come out and say it. I am an ex-smoker (117 days and counting) in support of the ban. Though I always preferred smoking outside compared to inside.

With that, I urge all of you, caimans or not - to quit smoking. It's worth it.

What about non-smokers who op

Can we please feed poker-playing dogs to the caimans?

But they smoke. Do you think smokers would eat smokers?

Only if you prefer bad breath

Submitted by Sarah on Tue, 12/06/2005 - 10:11pm.

Only if you prefer bad breath, yellow eyes, clammy wart skin, dodgy motives, excess snorting, and inevitable death by chomping.

Not to mention having to buy your pet smokes. Are they still over $5 a pack?!

I hope you notice I'm staying out of this, even refraining from contributing bad puns. As a reward, I expect money or cigars.

So you prefer bad puns? Oh, by the way I was in the pet store last night getting catfood, and without being aware-- almost as if I was reciting a script written by someone else-- I asked the clerk if they had any caiman food. They politely said no and backed away with a worried look. I noticed they were furtively dailing on the phone as I quickened my pace to the exit door.
