Another homecoming

February 24th, 2004 · 3 Comments

MickeyCuke: Mickey holding pineapple sea cucumber, Australia, February 2004. Mickey just got back from nature-guiding in Australia, with some great stories and amazing photos. And guess what she brought me?
No, not a giant pineapple sea cucumber–what gave you that idea? Something almost as strange. She brought me a stuffed cane toad made into a change purse.

Mark Lewis’s hilarious cane toads movie got a lot of play in our house at one time….

“Cane toads are coming….”
“They’re not just toads to me. They’re my friends. I love them.”
“Sometimes I call him ‘Dairy Queen’….”

I’m so glad Mickey is back, and I love my present.

    Well, at least she didn’t give you a kangaroo scrotum lighter! That has my vote for worst Aussie tourist shop gift.
