Betting that giraffe loved that ice cream cone

I'd eat a giraffe…

Took the kids to a petting zoo in Canada once, big mistake!
I had a cup full of treats held high and was giving it out slowly when goat bit me in the side below my arm. He received a elbow to the face which made me drop the food. Sneaky git, I bet he knew what he was doing. The bruises have healed, but I'm scared emotionally.

Oh yeah – those goats know exactly what they are doing.

Having been attacked by my neighbor's German Shepard mix dog as a young child I don't trust any animal I can't strangle.

I've been reading about the vulture infestation at the Boarder Patrol station. They mentioned they sometimes dropped other animals from a height of 300 feet--that would be unexpected. "You are hit by a pig dropped by a vulture over your head. You lose 10 hit points."

"Fetchez la vache!"

"Fetchez la vache!"

Wot!

Moooooooooooooooo!

Where is the man eating the giraffes?

This, children, is what the hyphen is for.

Have you never watched the twilight zone "How to serve man"?

GurKan, yes, an important lesson for us all. I, myself, could not eat more than one giraffe.

You're right; eating more than one giraffe would be silly…

Well, eating more than one giraffe at a single meal would be silly, certainly. But what if you've friends over for the weekend? You'll surely need a least two, plus you'll get a weeks worth of sandwiches out of the leftovers.

Mmmmm, GLTs! When the giraffe is all lean and the tomatoes are perky……

Dang, I'll bet the little girl was holding a spoonful of something tasty.

Behold the face of terror, dum dum dum….

A pack of Giraffes chowing down on man flesh. "I don't know Sid, tastes like chicken."

"I'd eat a giraffe…"

Save the neck for me Clark!

Wasn't sure if you meant "Man eating giraffe" or "Man-eating giraffe". Punctuation is important, people.

Taller freezer for the other giraffes. More for later.

Back to the original question, I once used Brussel Sprouts as terrain, because we knew one of our players hated them.

Clean sprouts, peel off outside leaves and slice bottom to make a base. Place sprouts across jungle terrain. At the end of every round, roll scatter dice and move every sprout accordingly.

Just like a cat will seek out the one person who hates cats, sprouts will flock to the person that hates them.

For what it's worth, I just finished reading a book on artificial intelligence, and it stated that "giraffing" was one of the major problems with neural networks. It's a good word, and I'm glad I finally got a chance to use it.

In other words, if it looks like a duck, walks like a duck, and quacks like a duck, it's probably a giraffe.

I don't think its a duck….

In 455 BC, Aeschylus, the great playwriter known as the Father of Greek Tragedy, died in a most unexpected way. He was said to have been killed by a tortoise which was dropped by an eagle that had mistaken his head for a rock suitable for shattering the shell of the reptile.
