I just have to say I love all of you for keeping the Hippo dream alive.
Hippo's are amazing brilliant creatures.... And um, they are so cute!
Whats up to all my people i've missed we must restart the Hippo Lovers group.... somehow it disbanded while i was gone.

Hijackers! Gw-way! This is now a one-sentence story thread!  So...I want to hear about the revenge part. "The number of the hippolets was not four, nor was the number two, accepting that the number of hippolets was three; five is right out."

WTF is C3PO supposed to be USEFUL for anyway, besides whining? Stupid piece of scrap metal would be more useful recycled as a toaster. But even that would suck, because who would want to listen to a whining wussy toaster? Is he gold plated? If that's the case he should just be melted down into gold ingots. Help the economy some, and stop being so damn useless you stupid bucket of bolts! R2 is 1,000 times more useful than your tin man ass, and he's shaped like a salt and pepper shaker FFS!

We're a flexible enough folk... I think we can accommodate both random hippo comments - the original premise of this thread - and our current raison d'etre, the one-sentence time-spanning organic hippo-themed tale. Truth be told, we are the de facto hijackers. Fnord.
Of course, we would kindly request that posters contribute to our tale if they so desire...
So to continue...
"Stomp was the eldest of the three, and the designated male successor - a fact that he lorded over his sisters Maw and Wallow to no end - for to him, it seemed only natural that his plan for revenge would be the one that the family would employ, of course."
=Sinclair =thread hijacker prosaic

Maw and Wallow were, however, getting quite tired of Stomp's constant self-reveling, and they were also slowly coming to believe that he may have had a hand in their father's demise.

So one day they tied up Stomp to a tree and burnt him with lit cigarettes until he answered their questions about their father's murder.

"The number of the hippolets was not four, nor was the number two, accepting that the number of hippolets was three; five is right out." YOU DARE CALL ME A HIJACKER!?!? I have been posting in this thread since it started. I am known as the hippo to many SL residents. You dare degrade the hippo loving thread into mindless 1 sentence posts, basically lowering it to the level of the evil 3 word thread!!! The insult of your comments goes too far, I shall unleash my horde of evil hippos upon you. They shall chomp your shoulders off and release their mighty butt fish upon you. Cower now in fear from the Hippo Master JV!@@$@#$@@#@

When the cigarettes hit Stomps skin, however, he set flame, and after the smoke cleared, all that was left was a hippo wireframe, and Christopher!!!! not much older than me I didn't think you'd notice  . I am very saddened that you have been taken to the dark side too. You were once a strong proponent of Hippophilia but now you can not be trusted with the movement. Also when a person much younger than I calls me a hijacker of a thread that I have been posting on for almost 40 pages then i must respond. I AM THE MASTER OF THE HIPPO'S, YOU FOOLS LET THE HIPPO LOVERS GROUP DISBAND IN MY ABSENCE, YOU CAN NOT BE TRUSTED TO RULE THE EVIL HORDE OF HIPPO'S, ONLY I THE HIPPOMASTER IN UNION WITH THE GATEKEEPER AND THE KEYHOLDER CAN ACCESS THE SECRET POWERS OF THE DEMENTED HIPPO'S.

JV: I actually enjoyed your tirade - just like old times  - but haven't figured out where to go in the story yet. Too much RL work, insufficient brain cells. ... I know! Hippo filler! * What goes best on a hippo sandwich? * Hippopotomustard.=Sinclair

Wow, seems like I forgot about this thread for awhile. Let's see... Hijacking: See, after WE hijacked the thread, the only way to take it back is to hijack it again. So, in fact, you are a hijacker! Hijacker! Hijacker! Hijacker! Hijacker! Hijacker!  Anyway-- From: someone Originally posted by Dionysus Starseeker
When the cigarettes hit Stomps skin, however, he set flame, and after the smoke cleared, all that was left was a hippo wireframe, and Christopher!!!! And Christopher said to the pissed off Hippos, "Now, now...let's not bicker, and squabble, about who killed who!" (Hope the Monty Python fans are around muahahah)

"Maw and Wallow, momentarily stunned by their brother's transformation, prepared to launch themselves at Christopher in a fury of wet hippo flesh and nasty big pointy teeth."

Suddenly, they realized that their teeth are flat, and decided that the rocket launchers they had strapped to their waists would be much more effective.
Story writing is fun. And I dunno if I'll ever get my flash done, I e-mailed it to myself, and it says it's in the wrong format. :^x

Four things running through my mind: 1. I don't get the feeling people automatically associate my name with monkey anymore. I know I don't. 2. I've been passed up in the number of posts here! Down a place! 3. Should I downgrade my account or cancel it? I don't really feel a pert of SL anymore. It's kinda sad  I mean, I barely go on anymore and when I do, it's not the kind of thing where everyone knows your name like it was six months ago. 4. The word "Hippo"
