  1. Uncle Al, the cartoon strip BC aardvark was my fighter squadron’s VF-114 mascot. It was probably a subtle way of saying that we’re #1 since aardvark is the first animal listed in the dictionary. And I never knew that anteaters were that big. One time the crud crew, the guys who painted our planes painted a couple of aardvarks humping each other on the tail of one of our planes. The duty officer that day had a sense of humor laughed at it and told them to remove it before our commanding officer could see it. I wish someone had taken a photo of that. VF-143’s mascot was a picture of a puking dog, so it could’ve been worse.

  2. ^ It’s disturbing that their front paws look like different animals’ heads.
    No kidding. On first glance I thought it was an anteater and a dog… then I thought it was some kind of two-headed bizzaro world mutant thing. Then I finally saw it for what it was.

  3. geoff the aardvark – even bigger if you use chicken manure in your zucchini hill. Then you slice it in half (lengthwise), scoop out the seeds (for later baking as a spicy, superfood snack), and stuff it with the equivalent of taco filling made just the way you like it )with ‘extra stuff’), smothered in cheese and baked. It’s so good you can even eat it for breakfast!

  4. Zucchini bread is also very good. The ant and the ant eater with Jackie Mason with that New York Yiddish accent was an absolute hoot. It was one of the better cartoons alongside the Pink Panther. The problem with zucchini is that there are so many of them that it’s hard to use them all till you’re giving them away to everyone who will take your extra zukes.

  5. But zucchini combined with onions, tomatoes, garlic, peppers and cheese is SO fricken good sauteed, with seafood, in soups, stews, soufflés, omelettes, etc., that you won’t be sorry. And it freezes.

    Oh, sorry. It must be time to start dinner.

  6. Giant Anteaters regularly attack animals that threaten them, usually clueless and/or desperate predators, and less frequently, people stupid enough to approach an anteater. That usually happens when the victim’s dog or dogs are getting ripped up and the owner tries to intervene to save them.

    Unless the claws have been trimmed, that woman is suicidal. Zoo employees make up a significant portion of anteater victims.
