Are you having a Giraffe?

#1 Post by themanintheseersuckersuit » Mon Mar 28, 2016 2:26 pm

What are Questions that could justify your murder?
Suitguy is not bitter.

feels he represents the many educated and rational onlookers who believe that the hysterical denouncement of lay scepticism is both unwarranted and counter-productive

The problem, then, is that such calls do not address an opposition audience so much as they signal virtue. They talk past those who need convincing. They ignore actual facts and counterargument. And they are irreparably smug.

Is this a new game called "What In Heck Is Seersucker Guy Talking About?" (No, that's not a question submitted to justify my murder.)

I assume you've read, seen, heard or imagined something that might provide some context or understanding to this inquiry about giraffe-having. If so, would you share it with us? (No, that's not a question STJMM either.) If not, please take one of the little pills prescribed by your doctor ASAP. If you have no little pills, just call your doctor, read your post to him and he'll get you some of those little pills even ASAP-er.

I'm hoping for an explanation/link. For the record, I'm not having a giraffe or any member of the animal family.

Given the picture, all I'd ask is "Are you naming it Wilson?".

The calf, born Saturday, is already 191 pounds and over 6 feet tall.
