to think that giant pandas are rubbish and deserve extinction.

[TeggieCampbeggBlegg]

they only eat one food that is nutritionally crap and are no good at breedinh.

Admittedly they look cute but as a spieces they are completely rubbish.

sassy giraffes are a bit shit aren't they? what do they do?

apart from wrap their incredibly dextrous tongues around branches and eat.

serious question, do they make a noise at all?

They're black, they're white, they're Asian. What's not to like

These lads have got it sorted.

Back jn the day when I read Dear Zoo on a thrice daily basis, the giraffe made a munching slurping noise with mucho tongue wiggling.

i still have to read that sodding book - too tall indeed, it was too boring

Rofl.

They sent me a giraffe.

He was too pointless and too much of an evolutionary abberation.

I sent home back.

Right, and here come all the giraffeists .
How is this thread still here?

my favourite is the camel - because you can open the doors of the crate one at a time and feign shock horror at being sent a camel's bottom

It's a good point though LBE

What are giraffes actually for?

Pruning the tops of trees?

Yeah, bloody giraffes, coming over here and taking all our jobs. How can my brother, who is a cow, get a decent place in a zoo, with prospects, when all the giraffes keep pricing him out of the market? They come over here from Africa and all work for less and share their enclosures to keep costs down, while he has to slave away all day on NMW in a muddy field beside the M25. It's a fucking disgrace.

Bastards.

"What are giraffes actually for?"

Ah, the age-old problem which has taxed the minds of giraffe philosophers for centuries. What are we for, why are we here, why do we get sore throats - you'd think evolution would have made us immune to them?

If a giraffe falls in the forest, does anyone hear it fall?

ThumbWitch The cheek!

I hope Pandas don't go extinct they are lovely but I sort of see what you mean.

If it is down to us destroying their habitat and hunting them though then it is up to us to encourage their breeding and survival.

The species that are opposite of the easily-affected panda (ie those that can adapt to new environments quickly) we also think are rubbish and want to kill. Mice, rats, rabbits, foxes, pigeons (and whatever the equivalent are in China).

The animals can't bloody win. YABU.

I'm not giraffist! Many of my best friends are giraffes. My brother married a giraffe, FGS!

If a giraffe falls in the forest, does anyone hear it fall?

I hear the bastard giraffes when they fall. I do love pushing them over though. Gives mea real buzz.

Johnny Cash was nearly disembowelled by an ostrich that had lain in wait for him. It was the recovery that made him addicted to morphine. Bandy legged fuckers.
Pandas look like partially filled monochrome beanbags.

Gives mea real buzz.

Some bastard stole the space between me and a. I bet it was a giraffe.

Poor Johnny Cash. :(

Did you know that he was really a panda in a human suit?

Oi, Giraffes are ace. Have you ever seen them fight? They just wang their necks at each other.

Lain in wait for him? Why? Did he owe him money? Did they have a row in the pub? Did he shag his bird? We need to know.

'did he shag his bird?' hahahahahahahaaaa

I think the answer here is clear, people.
Cross breeding programme.
Maybe, individually, they are a bit ineffective. But together, think of the possibilities! The bamboo that Piraffe will be able to reach!

In a way YANBU. Because if nature had her way they'd be extinct by now. And a lot of those breeding programmes aren't really for the pandas good it's to bring money to zoos and suchlike. So I'm a bit on the fence with this one. I have taken this seriously.

I got chased by an emu once in a park in Australia - it was a bit scary!
I was told by a park keeper that the same emu had taken an earring out of an Indian lady's earlobe a few days previously, and it was a diamond worth about $10k, so the keepers all had to follow the bloody emu around for days after to see if it poo'd it out! She didn't know if it had been found yet or not...

When I was a child (back in the 60's) an elephant nicked my sister's purse out of her hand.
My grandpa had to get the keeper to get it back.
