I thought a Giraffe was a herbivore. Or is this the kinda giraffe that has been through a nukular holocaust and is the size and personality of Godzilla. or Godzirra, as it were. ---

An herbivore could probably get by snacking occasionally on zooplankton, which demand about the level of esteem I would expect to be given by the Mighty Overlords of the Pit. ---

Hey, congrats, O Tall and Gangly One! We have a winner already for the “Mod Who Looks Most Amusing Drinking Water Out of a Pond” contest. Now, in the interests of making your job easier, please cut n’ paste these phrases now: **Mehitabel** , you’re the only one who’s acted like an adult on this whole thread. Everyone shut up NOW (except **Mehitabel** , of course.) **Mehitabel** said it best. Nobody could possibly surpass that. This thread is closed. Just trying to help. ---

I am told that giraffes have very high blood pressure, but are being studied to see how they survive it so well. I assume your becoming a Pit mod is part of that study. Good luck. Regards, Shodan ---

Better late than never, I s’pose. Gratz, **Giraffe**! May the Gods of Moderate Moderation of Miscreants look upon you with favor. Offer yourself to them, to post with you and to ban with you as they wilt. Let them relieve you of the bondage of egomania, that you may better slap wrists. Let them take away your board lag, that victory of it may bear witness to those you would moderate of their Bigness, their Hamsterlike Qualities and their Amaze-a-tude. I agree with **Zebra** and **Biffy** … We animals from the dark continent should form a band. Of udders. Huh? No, I have not started drinking again. I’m just high on Friday. ---
