"An orca among tunas." an instant classic, please know that i'll be using this...

"Maybe I should have watched Project Runway instead of Animal Planet after all." Maybe he should be ON PR...

Lashes like a giraffe! LOL This was a hilariously literal take on the "wild side" theme. I just wish we could have had a peek at the, ahem, session.

Just before reading this I watched a report on the evening news (I'm still in the US) on an installation in the Museum of Modern Art in NY that consists of nude people standing still all day. At the entrance to the exhibition the museum visitors have to pass between two naked people (a man and a woman) standing facing each other. There's so little space it's almost impossible not to brush against at least one of them. One man had his museum membership revoked for groping the male model. Doesn't that just give one one-shot ideas! :D

Wow. I didn't know I was that into the current vogue of things - hadn't heard of the MoMA "exhibition" or installation. Interesting and a bit incomprehensible...as an art installation. But yep - great possibility for a one-shot!

Giraffes totally have the longest lashes in the animal kingdom. Ennis is big on trivia, he would know this! :-D

Ack... just commented and something went seriously wrong...

Anyhooo, I loved this!! This part made me LOL;

"Isn’t he a dish and a dear?” Deer? Ennis worryingly wondered if she’d read his mind.

Poor Ennis was a total fish out of water (see what I did there...?) but I'm glad he finally got his man :)

Thank you! :-)
And LJ is being sooo difficult, at first it wouldn't let me reply to the comments.

I loved this. After Jack invited Ennis to sit and Ennis told him that he didn't need to bring anyone with him, did Jack smile like the cat that ate the cannary? See you got me making the animal comparisons too.

gilli_ann April 19 2010, 14:41:40 UTC

More like the Cheshire cat, maybe? :-D Thank you!

"cheekily enigmatic", LOL.

This was fun, lots of great subtle jokes, and I like the gentle poking fun at the art world.

Thanks for participating in the challenge. A unique and fun take on the theme.:)

By the way, there's an "Einnis" in there, 7th paragraph of the "Jack" section.Old habis die hard!

I wonder if I shall ever be rid of the additional "i". It pops up all the time. Thank you for letting me know about it. And thank you for commenting, so glad you enjoyed it!
