Stuff.
It's all around us.
Just look around.
It's there.
I like to think myself a connoisseur on all things neat and
interesting. Weird and curious is welcome too.
So if you have something you think might belong
in the bin, drop me a note.
I am looking for cat pictures. Your cat. Do you have a cat?
Dogs will do too. Or any animal you take care of.
How about we make a
PET
section.
*nod me*

GIGGLEEPOP THE CAMEL BOY
It was about 4 o'clock in th afternoon when Mrs. Heekilopee went into labour. Mr. Heekilopee grabbed her suitcase, called the hospital, took her to the car and drove her there. When they arrived the staff was waiting for them. They put Mrs. Heekilopee in a wheelchair and whisked her away to a delivery room while Mr. Heekilopee went to park the car. When Mr. Heekilopee had finished parking his car he joined his wife in the delivery room.
It was not long after this that the baby was born. It was a boy, a boy that looked like a camel. He had a big tongue and two big humps on his back. The delivery crew began to laugh and laugh and laugh. Mr and Mrs Heekilopee joined in. When they were finished laughing they gave the camel-looking-kid to Mrs. Heekilopee to hold. "I think I'll call him Peter.", said Mrs. Heekilopee. Mr. Heekilopee did not like that name at all, "My son will be named Giggleepop and that's that." Mrs. Heekilopee agreed with the new name.
The next day the Heekilopee family went home. The next few weeks were terrible. The housing development that the Heekilopee's lived in was hit with a great drought. There was only a little bit of water to go around. The Heekilopee's decided that Giggleepop didn't need water because of his camelcharistics. They were wrong. The next day they found Giggleepop's shriveled body in his crib.
Although Giggleepop looked like a camel he did not have the abilities of one. When the neightbours found out about what had been done to the poor little camel boy they did not know what to say. So they just partied. From the start they had blamed the ugly abnormal baby for the drought. Giggleepop's dry baby body was brought outside and everyone spat on it and cursed it for the bad fortune that it had put them all through. They then jumped on it until it had turned to dust. Then they waited and waited for the rain to return. It never did. They could never understand why it never rained again. They thought that the death of the camel boy would bring rain, but they were wrong.
It wasn't until a small man came into their housing development that they learned why the rain never came. The man told them that since they lived in the desert, it wouldn't rain. It was then that they realized that it had never rained after Giggleepop's death because it had never rained before it either.
THE END
