Awww! I wanted the head of Alfredo Garcia! Not sure where I'd put it though.

This is a very funny post.

You'd have to fight uon for it!

(uon arrived back last night. Halfway through the discussion about ladyboys, baby lynxes, yak testicles (can descend up to 2 feet! Allegedly), and Cordyceps fungi (they are parasitic on ants, there's a video on YouTube with David Attenborough), we asked him whether he'd missed us. He assured us that yes, he had. Strange boy.)
