Imagine this: It's 2004, and someone is going around alternately saying ALL YOUR BASE ARE BELONG TO US and WASSSAAAAAAP!!! every single day. Or maybe wearing parachute pants or exhibiting some other totally played out fad. This is the root of the PATHOLOGICAL RAGE I feel whenever people mention hippos.

I never understood the hippo thing, and I believe I've been here long enough to have a better-than-average perspective.

It's to the point where when someone mentions hippos in any context, I think they're just doing it to sound like "one of the gang," apparently oblivious to the fact that the already-stale and unoriginal joke wore out eons ago.

I mean, gag me with a spoon. ;)

Do not attempt to understand the hippo - that's impossible. Only try and understand the truth...

:D

Sorry, Huns. OK, it's not terribly original. Now you can hate excessive Matrix quoting too. :P

Of course, you could always join the secret underground movement to make the ferret the official critter of SL. <evil snicker>

The bald eagle isn't terribly original either, but I don't have bouts of rage against it.

Sorry Huns. As a note, I haven't posted to the hippo thread in a LOOONG time.
