DISEMBODIED HIPPO HEAD

[tugrik]

As part of cleaning up the shop we need to dismantle and dumpster-ize the old Hungry Hungry Hippo shell from last year's Burning Man. While most of it has been properly torn apart, the head was still in one piece.

We just had to keep it.

The shop needed a trophy, you see.





The head is mounted above the chill-zone in the shop, right by the futon, TV and drafting desk. The head is chained and bolted so is quite earthquake-safe. As dustykat (who has the misfortune to pull up to the shop just as we were starting this task, and thus got shanghai'd into helping) puts it, "this is what we call a Really Bad Idea." He was the one who got to balance on the ladder while holding it, you see.

The hippo's disembodied head now stares down upon us in a properly creepy fashion. The Domo Kun calendar (courtesy of smackjackal was a serendipitous match. :)

You have hungry hungry hippos growing out of your wall. ^^ This may be a good or bad sign, depending on how you look at it. :)
