@LogicallyIllogical true, but then again, they hear me sing all the time, and it basically sounds the same so.. :/ 
i'm going for a skwoonk, with a kinda strangled noise from holding your nose. yeah, thats the sound of the duckaphant
aw such a lovely song about acceptance and all that. "and so they sat in the cave (cave) and ate bubblegum pie YUM!" haha i wish racism would go away that easily, just a single jellybean tear all the colours of the rainbow :) i could just quote that song all day long... which i probably will :P
and haha, yeah, i kinda got lost a bit at the end, but then i found my way back, so it's okay

@hippogriff Haha, apparently when I typed that, part of the structure shifted... Which makes it sound quite odd... And out of place.

@hippogriff I guess it would be easier to act like a crazy in a cafe because no one there knows you... But when your home, you have to see those people all the time. And then that awkward moment where you see someone in person for the first time after they made a strange eagle/lion, hip hop giraffe or elephant/duck sound...
     And what would an elephant/duck sound like...
     And seriously, that is the most awesome song ever!! But, he is not so much a racist dragon anymore... A reformed rasist dragon. Too bad dragon didn't start with a r too... Then he would be the Rx3
     Brrrrruack... It's like aflack but not lol.

@LogicallyIllogical OMG Duckaphant! i wish i'd thought of that... haha, i feel like we're playing the penis game, shouting it louder and louder. see, i'm in my flat, but it has seriously thin walls, and someone just had to pass by outside my door the exact moment i tried to sound like a duckaphant and a hiphop giraffe. *sigh* they don't get me. like the villagers don't get albi the racist dragon (which, coincidentally is my favorite song by flight of  the conchords :P) 
nah, i ran out of ham this morning ;)

@hippogriff Duckaphant!!!! Sorry, I had to say that first.
   Haha, I was in a crowded cafe and I was trying to whisper the sound... But that didn't work either. And if you shout it, I'm sure someone would hear you... That must be something to pass by... Right now I trying my hardest to not look crazy and start laughing in this cafe... And I'm tearing up because trying not to laugh like a crazy person makes me have to laugh even harder.
     I have not heard of the flight of the concord... But I'm glad you showed it to me!!! Funny... Funny. 
     It is a strange name. It's like match from the hay field... Or something. And humich does sound like hamish... Which make it seem like your eating a ham-ish  type of food... Which is funny.

@LogicallyIllogical and haymitch is a strange name who on earth would name their kid that? i think he deserves to be confused with humich. or is it prounounced like hamish? (haha ham-ish, don't know why that was funny)

@LogicallyIllogical haha! scraawwwrk? grrrik? i keep going from really low rawr, and grr, to high pitched, and i'm pretty sure someone just laughed at me outside my door lol.
that is one weird looking giraffe, maybe it even does hiphop ;) (i said a hip a hop a hippo to the hibbedy hop) (on an another note, oooh! heard of flight of the conchords? yeah, i'm sending you a link anyways, just cus i know you like monty python http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FArZxLj6DLk )
 ...i wonder what you'd get if you crossed a duck and an elephant... hmmm, now that's an interesting ..
haha, it makes it so awkward when you have people around you though

@hippogriff Its a good thing that your mind doesn't work that way. Every mind should!!!
     Haha, they probably give of a squawk-rawr!!! Or raw-chirp... Okay, I must be saying it funny cuz it sounds funny to me. Like a kitten trying to hiss... Doesn't work or intimidate. Well if a hippogriff was actually part eagle and giraffe you would be completely in the clear... I mean... It probably has to hop a few times before it could get into the air... Or so I would imagine. Those things must be heavy!!!
    And I pronounce things in books wrong all of the time. Even when I sound them out and know what they should be I still make the same mistake. Like in the hunger games. I always thought haymitch was humich... Yeah...

@LogicallyIllogical haha, i didn't think about that! shows what an awful bully i'd be :P
oo, i like that, i wonder if they sound like a bird or a lion, or a really really weird mix? i chose it cus i used to read it all wrong when i was a kid ( in my defence i have some strange version of dyslexia) so i always read it as a hip hop giraff, until i said it out loud once and my entire family went quiet before dying of laughter. they still tend to laugh sometimes and mumble "hip hop giraff" aaaanyways, that would be a totally different thing haha
