I’m on vacation, staying at Disney’s Animal Kingdom Lodge, and outside my room is a herd of gnus. I like gnus, even ones that don’t report the gnews. Also, I just learned an alternate name for a group of wildebeests is an implausibility of gnus. ---

I don’t like gnus. No gnus is good gnus. ---

If you eat at Sanaa, I recommend the Chai Cream for dessert. I liked it so much that I asked for the recipe. Also, I’m jealous. I can be there in about three hours - do you have room on a sofa for me? 🙂 ---

You can see the small herd of gnus in the first three pictures. I don’t recall seeing an okapi in person before. I haven’t gotten any super-great giraffe pics yet; this one is the best so far and funny (I swear she’s not Photoshopped in). > [@Digital\_is\_the\_new\_Analog](#): > > If you eat at Sanaa, I recommend the Chai Cream for dessert.

We just ate at Boma and I’m still wrapping my head around how amazing it was. ---

Too many old puns in this thread. It needs some gnu puns. ---

Instead of a new gnu pun, I think I’ll just okapi and paste. ---

I don’t recall seeing an okapi in person before. I haven’t gotten any super-great giraffe pics yet; this one is the best so far and funny (I swear she’s not Photoshopped in). I was just going through pictures on my phone the other day, and was staring at a strange picture of a fence and some tree stump on the ground. I finally noticed the giraffe in the background… > [@](#): > > I’m still trying to convince mrs.gnu, but I do want to eat there once. We just ate at Boma and I’m still wrapping my head around how amazing it was. Overall, I liked Boma more than I liked Sanaa. Since you’ve done Boma, you might skip Sanaa and do some other specialty places. I can always send you the recipe. 🙂 ---
