Today was a nice and relaxing day. I had a relaxed morning, took a friend some coffee, and spent a lot of time thinking about things. One of the best things that really made my day was the look on my friends face when I showed up coffee in hand for a quick chat. It brought a really good feeling on and I started thinking that it's too bad that I can't make the whole giving thing a full time thing. But oh well. It did get me thinking on things, and when I got back home I started taking care of some business. After eating dinner, I popped in my roommates copy of the new BBC documentary of life. And the first disc had a segment on challenges in life, and it showcased some hippos. The hippos were battling it out over mating rights. I can only think of one word to describe it. EPIC.
The way those things were going at it, I was just amazed and thought how awesome would it be to get anthropomorphic. My first thought about these giant baddies was nature's sumo wrestlers. But as I was watching the epic unfold, I started imagining mafia dons sitting around a table, and juxtaposed a hippo's head with a body in a three peace suit. Then a dark hard, holding a hippo-sized glock. Thus the hippopotamus bodyguard was born.
Think about it. They're huge, have really bad tempers, and just don't give a damn. Now to get them into a story...
