Phoren Gipht

I came back home yesterday to find that my father's friend, on his first visit to London, had brought me back a package of fluffy yellow toy chicks. Apparently they're Easter presents. Of all the things to fly across the world, this. Much gratitude to aforementioned uncleji, I haven't had a gift like this come my way in years.

I have now spent a day and a half with them. Yes, they have names. I'd like to believe I can tell them apart. Ladies and Gentlemen, introducing the main reasons for me not researching my term paper:



This is the furry fraternity at school. The wonky-eyed one sitting way up on the Seat of Wisdom is the teacher. The rest are the class. For lack of a better word, duh. To the extreme left is the class bully whining about being punished. Oh, and catch Pipsqueak in the foreground wondering where the hidden camera is. He's a conspiracy theorist, little Pipsqueak.

Alternatively, here we have His Fluffness the King on his royal Rubik's cube, loyal subjects in attendance. The court bard sings his praises and a mean bodyguard right in front looks for possible assassins.

I could go on for hours.

In view of my degenerating interest in what should be hours devoted to academic enlightenment, I propose to give them away tomorrow onwards to unsuspecting victims. There are twelve. Anyone who wants one say aye. We do not deliver outside the city.

I think farmers have a lot of fun. There's no way they cannot.

21 have survived.:

As tempting at they look, I shall step aside so that a worthier recipient may stake his claim on chick. :)

Sometimes, cuteness can be so overwhelming, you don't know how to handle it.

Well, at least for me.
And this is one of those cases. I LOVE chicks and piglets.

CheshireCat said...

Aye!

P.S. What about the rest? Are they relegated to being unidentified commoner in a mass of yellowfluffiness?
Chi!

Sarbajaya said...

Aye Aye!

How can this not look like a bunch of hostages being terrorized by the goon on the rubik's cube to you? Look at their yellow faces struck by panic! It's like Hiroshima!

Sambit said...

Aw man, I want one. Just keep one for another month, then I'll come take it away.

What a fantastic gift. Why do I not have such romantic visionaries as family friends?

Ok, I see a speaker on a podium, delivering a fiery political speech. Like Snowball in Animal Farm. Yes. The unhappy one on the left is Napoleon. The loner is Benjamin the donkey, disinterestedly walking away while muttering about how he will outlive this nonsense.

Now I shall indulge in some aantelgiri for fun. The squares on the Rubik's Cube represents the natural tendency of human beings to segregate into distinct groups. The red checks in the background represent the world outside Animal Farm, which seems to be separate, but is actually patterned along similar lines (the checks). Ok, now I shall stop cluttering your blog and apologize for the mental condition to which I have been reduced by my impending George Orwell test.

Ps: I maintain that you have the most fascinatingly overactive imagination ever. I now see why your friend is threatening to give you a lego set before an exam. It could actually fuck up your test.

They look like students listening to the principal drone on and on about discipline. And the distracted one is the school prankster.
