Snig of the Day
Gamp CamelA word to the wise: "Lemon" is to cars what the Gamp Camel is to beasts of burden. Barely able to support their own weight, Gamp Camels are a last resort when outfitting transportation for that high mountain trek. "We got stuck with Gamp Camels on our Journey across the perilous Peaks of Meem," complains local Sherpa, Hi Malaya. "What a nightmare. Every step brought another 'Are we there yet?' from these pathetic porter-posers. Two of them had to carry one sleeping bag between them. And the smaller one could barely manage a half empty canteen. Next time I'm forgoing the savings and hiring a team of Yetis."

Happy 30th Birthday, Jeff!It's Jeff's 30th birthday and he requested a custom snig of the day to celebrate the occasion. While I couldn't get that done, I was able to pull his photo from the archives and enhance yesterday's Gamp Camel. I took some liberties with the hair color.
Buntho The Back Alley ClownRecently let go from the Chauceville Carnival circuit, Buntho the Back Alley Clown has found a new niche amid the seedier sidestreets. He doesn't get the laughs anymore, but he's still very much involved in the funny business.

The Angel of StingeThe triple faced Angel of Stinge is one filthy little fairy. Its gluey, cakey skin is like congealed icing on a month old bakery good. Occasionally a chunk will break off, plummeting downward like a doughy clump of skin hail. Not known to be particularly stingy with money, the Angel of Stinge is instead named for the sour odor it emits while fluttering — "It just smells like stinge," the locals often say.

Hiss FoxHiss Foxes are common among the hilly grasslands just east of the Screamy Bee Ranch. Their wheezy, hissy breathing is often mistaken for the swirling winds that pass whisperingly over said soddy knolls. The Hiss Fox's graceful, prim and proper prance belies a very sneaky nature. They are not above pilfering a Snicks Chicken or two from the unguarded farmhouse coop.

Pair Unfair Master Negotiator"It turns out that ' Two for me, none for you' is nowhere near even," remarked a dejected Cherry. "But Pair is so friendly, so accommodating — I just wanted to believe. Still, at least I'm no Papaya. I heard Pair got him with the old ' Four for me and double-what-Cherry-got for you' routine." "What a sucker."

MoosepuffIntroducing Moosepuff. You may be thinking that this woolen waisted waver looks nothing like a moose. That's what went through my head when I asked Natalie to name it. Lamb and sheep come to mind — and pig isn't too far fetched. In fact, I'd go out on a limb and say that there's a slight ice cream cone resemblance when you squint your eyes until the legs run together. But when I heard Natalie say, "Looks like a moose — a Moosepuff", it seemed so ridiculous that I felt compelled to go with it. Now I'm waiting for her to dream up a similarly loony story.
