teh Moose

[hellziggy]

For all you kids who have just recently joined the twisted world of Ms. HellZiggy, here is the story of teh Moose, because cathain_magi asked me about him:



I got Moose in January, 1996 shortly before me & hellbob moved down here to the real world. My friend Becca, who was our roomate in Fargo, and I came down to the cities a couple weeks before we moved so that we could do laundry. We were so poor that it was cheaper to do it that way because Kathy let us put the gas on her gas credit card & we used their washer & drier. When we stopped in Alexandria for gas we each got a matching Moose because they were cute. We wanted to both get the same one since I was going to be moving away. A month later I was going to Vegas for scubagrrl's wedding & I had to go by myself because we couldn't afford for hellbob to go to, so I took Moose along as a good luck charm. Since I went for the weekend with $100 cash & my return ticket home and still had about $5 when I got home I decided that he worked as a good luck charm. Then a couple months later when hellbob & I went to a concert with Jeanine and while there I found Moose in my bag. Since he had snuck in with us we included him in some pictures I took. After that I took him with sometimes and took pictures of him and at some point it turned into Moose always coming with. His first big trip was Arizona and since then he's travelled with me to LA twice, Vegas again, Seattle & Washington state and Toronto.

Here he is in LA. He went to a taping of the Tonight Show with us:


He's also been photographed with several people, mostly at sci-fi conventions. Now he also travels with other people. genevra & akdar took him on a 2 week tour of Italy, Jeanine took him to Mexico, chebutykin has taken him to BNAT in Austin, TX, and to Puerto Rico and scubagrrl took him to Finland. In the near future I think I shall mail him to England to visit dakegra, K, and the Beans.

Here he is at the Grand Canyon:


He actually has his own photo album in my gallery at: http://www.dreamflyte.com/gallery/Moose

When I went to Toronto I had more people ask me when I got home if I got Moose's picture taken with James Marsters than if I had.
I got to have my pic taken with James and I asked him if he would hold Moose for the picture and he did.

That Moose is quite the adventurer!

Should he ever feel a need to stop by the sunshine state you could always send him over - I'm sure he's always wanted to go to Disney World.

Oh and you guys would be welcome to come along as well - but I'm only buying dinner for moose. I figure if I butter Moose up with fantastic Florida seafood I can get the scoop on what it felt like to be in James' hands.

*still jealous by the way - trying to get over it - may need therapy*

Wow. I'm not too envious...I've met some people, I've done some things. But the moose got to go to BNAT? Damn.
