Scuba-Stuffocating – Who We Caught!
Hi everyone, Karl, StuffedZoo acquisitioner here.
I’m sure you are all wondering what it was I first caught with Dr. Parker’s amazing scuba-stuffocating technology. To tell the truth, it all happened so fast, I wasn’t sure what I had at the time, either. But I got back to land, repaired the damage that had been done to the scuba-gear, and reached into to tank to see what I’d turned into a cuddly, land-friendly stuffed animal. . .
Was it going to be an octopus? I thought, digging my hand into the containment unit. A shark? A clownfish? There were so many possibilities.
But, what I ended up with astounded both Dr. Parker and I. I truly couldn’t believe it could be done. Dr. Parker’s machines worked better than I’d expected! I caught no mere fish, no shark, no simple cephalopod – I caught. . .
A WHALE!
Not just any whale – a Humpback whale! And not just any Humpback whale, but one that sparkles!
We named him Gideon, and he’s been here among other new sea exhibits for a little while now.
In fact, Gideon would like to speak to all of you! Take it away, Gideon!
“Hello strange, pink land-walkers! My name Gideon. It use to be Weyeorb-Weeeorsch-Wa, but that mean Gideon in whale-song language. Now I stuffed whale, and learn English. They say I look good stuffed, that humpback whale needed be cuddlier. Also, I has sparkles. Don’t know why land-walkers think this so special—all whale has sparkles. Don’t know how got here, but it nice. Hope some people take Gideon home to snuggle and feed krill. What? Stuffed whale no eat krill? You must be joking—how Gideon pass time if not eat krill? Oh well, maybe people take Gideon home and introduce to other stuffed things. Always want to meet stuffed wolverine. Sound like my kind of guy.
Okay, well, time to polish sparkles. Stuffed humpback whale have always to look best.
Gideon”
