HOOTIE

HOOTIE



HOOTIE: Born: May 15th. In honor of my sister's birthday, I created yet another Sock Goblin, wrapped him up, put him in a box and mailed him off to her in Ottawa! I am posting now because in Ottawa it is already her birthday therefore, it is safe to post and tell the story of Hootie....
Hootie is a photographer. Not just any ole' photographer but one who takes up close pictures of the very rare Okapi. Hootie still hasn't figured out if it's a giraffe or zebra but has informed me that it's ancestry is the Giraffe family. However, when you look at the pictures of them, their markings are similar to the Zebra. So, you tell me, giraffe or zebra? Hootie has also dabbled in photography for Sock Monkey weddings. He only does that when he needs cash fast and actually hates dealing with wedding parties. If you've ever had the good fortune of attending a Sock Monkey wedding, it's a fricken' gong show! Monkeys absolutely everywhere! Picking food out of each others hair, swinging from chandeliers, too much banana daiquiri drinking, indecent monkey business going on in the corners, pretty much a nightmare for a photographer. I hear the pictures sell well on the black market though.... ANYWAY, Hootie prefers to patiently photograph the elusive Okapi. Though it's not a high paying job, it keeps him out of trouble with the bridesmaids....
HAPPY BIRTHDAY COLINDA!!

  1. I have a complaint! I do NOT resemble a giraffe or a zebra in any way, (maybe another wild animal) if I see Hootie lurking around trying to take my picture agin, I WILL call the monkey police!!!

    By the way.....
    Hootie, nice camera.

  2. I got to meet Hootie at birthday brunch today. He kept trying to take pictures of the fruit salad though... strange... perhaps he suspected the elusive Okapi was hidden within!?
