Toys R Us also had a giraffe mascot!

The Toys R Us giraffe mascot was named Geoffrey. His wife was Gigi and they had two children: Baby Gee and Geoffrey, Jr.

Hmmm...I wonder which giraffe mascot predated the other?

A giraffe?s tongue is about 18-20 inches long and its color is blue, purple, or black.

The giraffe's nearest relative is the okapi, which was unseen by Europeans until 1901.

Reverse Giraffe appeared on the episode "Total Rickall" of Rick & Morty. He is "reverse" because he has a long body and a short neck, but he really doesn't look all that different from a regular giraffe. This is one of the best R&M episodes, imo, if you ever want to sample the show!

Thanks for the recommendation!

The latest cartoon that I tried "for new" was Steven Universe. I liked the episodes I saw, but I didn't have the energy to get into such a new long-runner.

If IB hates long runners, he will not like 5 seasons of Rick & Morty.

Might I suggest ?In the Flesh?. A post zombie apocalypse show. The first season is only 3 episodes and the second is only 6.

Also why I didn't dive into The Simpsons, despite liking the show!

Thanks for the reco Quis, will check it out.

My husband loves The Simpsons. There are a lot of old movie references he only knew from them being spoofed on The Simpsons.

Many old movies, I only really know by name.

There are some pop culture references where I know the context and what movie it is from, but have never seen the movie.

Ditto for me. Growing up in the Philippines was a mixed bag, I grew up with USA media so most of my pop culture references were from there. Many Filipino pop culture references flew over my head.

I would not want to fly in a plane right now.

I'd really like to fly with a flight ring, however.

I would like to fly even without one When I was a kid I often had dreams of flying. Wish I had them more.

It's been a long time since I've had a flying dream as well.

Some people worry about falling if they were to fly, but my bigger fear has always been uncontrollably rising until I left the atmosphere.

Pink Floyd and Tom Petty each had different songs, both entitled "Learning to Fly".

Spread your wings...

Strangely enough, a couple hours ago I was listening to "One Slip," a Pink Floyd song from "A Momentary Lapse of Reason" -- the same album which has "Learning to Fly!"

My local classic rock station plays TONS of Pink Floyd. I once joked with my sons that I can't make a round trip from home to work to home without hearing at least one Floyd song. It's not really an exaggeration.

Oddly enough, I've only ever heard two Beatles songs on the station: "Come Together" and "Revolution". I'm pretty sure those are the only two the station has the rights to.

My name is John. My husband is George. Our dogs are Paul and Ringo. We're not big Beatles fans, but we had to do it.

A friend has a theory that any foursome can be mapped to the Beatles. There is always a John, a Paul, and a Ringo. The fourth is George by default.

How would it work with the founding Legionnaires plus Superboy?

Superboy is the leader so he is Paul. Saturn Girl is the deep thinker so she is John. Lightning Lad is the goofy fun one so he is Ringo. That makes Cosmic Boy George by default.
