"I'm gonna take charge of the hippos humming choir. They need more harmony. And definitely more bass."

 or click here
__________

Karen's notes: This one's easy. We watched a nature program on Saturday about hippos. Along with learning how it is possible for them to fit the entire top half of a man in their mouths, we also learned all about how they communicate by humming and grunting through their nostrils. Thanks, Discovery channel!

Merch update: New t-shirts and mugs! You'll find "fashion assassins", "tap dancing hamsters", "crosshairs of my love" and "arseholes unite" along with all the classics.

Also, buy 4 shirts, get the 5th free! The US shop is doing a special right now, so find four friends or colleagues who want shirts and keep the free one for yourself! (yes, of course I'm joking, you moral people). US $ customers, use code MAYSHIRTS, Canadian $ customers use CADMAYSHIRTS.

ps- for those UK customers who feel shafted, we're really sorry, these specials are all done by Spreadshirt, not us. Write and tell them how you feel!

    My Dad's in 2 choirs. He's not so bass as some guys get, but he's in the bass section of one of those. I wonder if he'd agree to be in the hippo choir. I also wonder how many soprano hippos he sings with. :O

    Good stuff!

    Merchandise: Do you think if we start bugging them, they'd get some bigger sizes :-D ?

    Good Night (morning) from Canada :-)

    would it be possible to add a check box next to each utterance for people to sort of vote for a t-shirt? many people checking the box would indicate a "winner" for a t-shirt.

    I was at the zoo when this posted this morning. They didn't have hippos but I directed a rhino choir and took pictures.

    I wonder about a hippo choir. I wonder if they'd wear robes. I wonder if they'd stand on 2 feet to sing. I wonder if they'd inhale the top half of the conductor into their mouth. I wonder why Jarl's girlfriend goes for the top half and not the bottom. I wonder if I can...

    @Kelvera, I hear the rhino choir has a great horn section.

    I can't help but think of my daughter's favorite you tube video. It's Pat (a hippo) singing Lion Sleeps Tonight while Stan (a dog) dances.

    Keep trying to use the coupon for the t-shirts and getting an error message that says I don't have enough items to use the coupon. Are tank-tops not included in the offer? I tried to find a way to contact the company directly but got caught in a roundrobin of FAQs that didn't answer my question.
