Slushie Time
Hi again! (This is Finn. I’m taking control of the computer while the other guys are out.)
Once again, the animals have been one step ahead of me in my role in the anti-boredom committee. To be fair to me, though, I’m only supposed to be in charge of activities on rainy days, and we haven’t [...]

Primates Play Drums
Boy, there isn’t a minute’s rest at the SZ. The day Karl and I return from Platypus Archipelago, we not only hear of Cromley’s bad behavior, but of a commotion from the primate wing of the zoo! Apparently, many of our stuffed monkeys have been trying to start a band. . . And it’s not [...]

Danger on the Platypus Archipelago, part 3
(from the previous entry):
And, after two hours of upward, intense hiking, they reached the summit. Needless to say, they weren’t prepared for what they found there. Hundreds of stuffed animals – everything from snakes to badgers to parrots – were dragging cut stones together, building what what looked it was going to be an enormous [...]

Danger on the Platypus Archipelago, part 2
(told by SZ correspondent Dr. Parker)
With the hull of their boat once again torn, Stuffed Zoo acquisitioners Karl and V survived their first night shipwrecked on Avocado Island, where they’ve been haunted by a palindrome-speaking stuffed monkey, Grunty.
“I wonder what happened to Grunty,” V said. “And I wonder if there are others like him on [...]

Stuffed Zoo Staring Contest Results
Hi everyone, Finn again. If you’ve been keeping up with the SZ blog, you know that I’ve just been hired as the SZ’s new Indoor Rainy Day Physical Activity Coalition and Anti-Boredom Committee (I’m only an intern). My first anti-boredom task was to come up with a fun indoor activity that all the animals could [...]

First Annual Stuffed Zoo Animal Staring Contest
Hi everyone, Finn here. I am now an intern for SZ’s new Indoor Rainy Day Physical Activity Coalition and Anti-Boredom Committee. It’s my job to come up with fun new ideas for activities the animals can do together on rainy days. You see, normally the chimps are playing basketball, the hippos jump-roping, and so on. [...]

Trout Tales, part two
“So back to my story,” Kilgore the Stuffed Trout continued.
“I said goodbye to my school of friends, got out of an expensive fishing-without-a-license ticket, and sailed by rented boat to the mouth of the Snarquetupple River, out to the Snaylhat Sea. This was where it made sense for a fish to have a boat! Besides [...]

Trout Tales, part one
Hi everyone, V here. I don’t know if you’ve noticed, but our in-house rainbow trout, Kilgore, has finally returned from his winter abroad. Of course, there were late nights in the aquatic tanks here at the zoo, with everyone listening in as Kilgore spoke of his long journey.
And now, Kilgore has decided to share his [...]

How Bainbridge Saved the Day – part two
As you may remember from last time, Abby and Jane were locked in the evil Yrrab Newo Cinema, and the projectionist – angry that no one bought his home-made concessions – was filling the room with his awful Asparagus-Beer Float.
As the room filled with the green and un-tasty dessert, Abby, Jane, and everyone else trapped [...]

Chess Challenge Results
Well, this weekend brought the big StuffedZoo Spring event, and boy, no one could have expected the results. The First Annual StuffedZoo Cross-Continental Land-Mammal Head-to-Head Chess Showdown was more than a nail-biter; it was the stuffed animal event of the year.
As you may know from the previous blog entry, our competitors were Arthur the Stuffed [...]

StuffedZoo Chess Challenge
Spring is on its way, and with a new season comes a new sports schedule, in the real world as well as here at the Stuffed Zoo.
While it may be hard to top our winter competition (see: First Annual StuffedZoo Primate Snowball Fight Extravaganza), we think our Spring event will be great as well.
The animals [...]

Animals’ Quest for Knowledge, Part Two
As Karl and I waited tensely in the shadows, listening closely for what the stuffed animal herd – waiting below the tallest fir tree in the StuffedZoo woods – were about to say, we pondered what all-important questions these furry creatures had. What is the purpose of life as a stuffed animal? How do you [...]

Scuba-Stuffocator 1.0
You may have noticed a new voice here on the blog. Well, let me introduce myself. I am Dr. Parker, and while acquisitioners Karl and V are away on a special stuffed animal mission, I am here in my lab, working on some new designs which the StuffedZoo has commissioned me for.
It has recently been [...]

Otter Socks and Spring
Hello everyone, this is Laurie from the Stuffed Zoo. I’ve been feeling a little under the weather lately because of the change in seasons. I never know whether to expect warm or cold, and it throws my whole system out of whack.
So *cough cough* when I sit here at home wishing I could be back [...]

10/31/2008
Tensions were high today when a stuffed fish was reported missing. The report was filed with the Corvallis Police Department at 9:00 AM Pacific Time, and not soon after, Deputy Vorders received a call from Jon Boisvert, a local resident.
“The man said the fish just flew out of his sink…

I am involved in secret treaty negotiations over stuffed animal rights to clean stuffing that will keep me consumed until then. I wish Icould tell you more but I’ve already shared more than I was supposed to.
