@LittleBlackFly: Dang! I was digging on the total randomness of it there for the first 50 seconds -- only to be brought crashing to the ground by the fact that it was, in fact, a Message.
There was a baby pygmy hippo here in the Edinburgh Zoo a couple years ago. It wus teh kutist.
She was so shiny and round and cute! You just wanted to SQUEEZE HER. She was my son's most favoritist animal to see - and see it we did - regularly.
I still bore anyone who will listen about it whenever we are there "And there are the pygmy hippos...Oh you should have SEEN the baby a couple years ago..."
It was unusual for me, but looking at this vid I am sure you can all understand my love for that cute little beh beh!
Seriously, you guys, you've never heard this song? It's the best Christmas -- oops, I mean *holiday* -- song on fucking EARTH! "I Want a Hippopotamus for Christmas."
@citrus_buddha: You're not a bad person - I hate human babies too. I'd be so much more inclined to give birth to a little fuzzy wuzzy puppy than a gross screaming baby.
@lizzzz: Okay I don't know why it's not working (maybe because it's NSFW) but it's the video for "Touch It". Good song, but not quite the same effect as baby hippo on Christmas morning.
@Dodai: But that's so much less funny than the other thing! Perhaps I shall name my next daughter Monifah, since it will have a positive meaning to 99% of the world and I will find it secretly hilarious. Perhaps not.
OMG LOVE HIM! She's so adorable in the bath, shaking her little ears! The zookeepers are so disciplined - I wouldn't be able to control myself and keep from cuddling and kissing her!
@ULookinAtMyJunk is the Hate Mitigator: I was trying SO HARD to do that, but somehow I just couldn't translate "I'm gonna show your body what your tongue's doin' wrong" into anything hippo-friendly". Bravo!

And I agree. Can I have one for Hanukkah?

I would like to rescind the request for a pony. Instead, please send me a baby pygmy hippo.
Sincerely,
my cousin is an ape

OH. MY. GOD. I am literally about to cry. This is too much.
I'm such a bad person. Hate human babies, LOVE animal babies.

Both are understandable, but make sure you ask for the right one!

Do you really want to touch it?
Do you really want to mess with me tonight?
If you know how I like would you call my name
and give it to me right?
Switch the lyrics:
Do you really want to nom-nom me?
Do you really want to snuggle me tonight?
If you know how I like it
Gather some hay and feed it to me right!
