There's this strange website run out of Morris, Minnesota: it's called Giraffes Drawn By People Who Shouldn't Be Drawing Giraffes, and what it is is a collection of sketches of giraffes drawn by random people Josh Preston collars (perhaps he will ask you for a giraffe someday). He managed to get a giraffe badly drawn by me, which just goes to show that the title of the site is pretty darned accurate, and he's also got one by Jen who apparently was born to draw giraffes.
Anyway, read them for the stories about getting the pictures, not for the pictures. Although don't read mine — he reveals awful secrets that may mean he'll have to disappear soon. Even if it actually is true and accurate in every word.
