Inugpasugssuk, yes it is a real mythical creature. . . (wait. . . yeah that makes perfect sense) . . . .Anyway, I decided to turn to a lesser known and more friendly creature.
The Inugpasugssuk is a friendly giant whose so enormous that the lice on him are the size of large rodents!
Large, friendly and has a name you can't pronounce! What's not to like?
love giants... no the lice, but why would the lice be the size of rodents? wouldn't they be the same size, unless where nug' is from things are much bigger.... hmmm. i would like to order a steak from there...

That is a very good question. I am inclined to agree that where he is from, everything is bigger. It also may be just an example of how large he is comparably. . .
DeleteI'm not sure lice the size of rodents render him in the friendly category - unless he treats them like pets, of course, maybe takes them to pet shows and wins rosettes for them?
ReplyDeleteLOL good point. Friendly or not, I don't think this is a creature I really WANT to cross paths with. . .
Deletelove your chosen theme and i'll take your word for it. nicknaming him, Inugs =)
ReplyDeletedont want to think about lice! ack!
LOL Thank you!
DeleteThis is a great thought now. I am not that sure about this being a friendly creature considering lice is a scavenger. Lice the size of a rodent...WOW. What is next ticks the size of a large dog?
ReplyDeleteIt sure is an interesting post, I never knew giants had lice or scalp issues.
Also another valid point. However, if you were a large mythical giant, (naturally not very smart) and couldn't even fit in a regular size shower, don't you think you would have lice and scalp issues? :)
DeleteOh no, those lice sounds gruesome! :)
ReplyDeleteUniversal Gibberish
Agreed!
Deletewow, beats my icthyocentaur any day lol
ReplyDelete:)
DeleteYour I-post makes me think of the Princess Bride movie. Remember the ROUS? Rodents of Unusual Size?

Deletewow i bet you would have to have several gallons of quill for those lice!
ReplyDeleteWait - I just said it aloud - Inugpasugssuk -and are you sure this is a real mythical beast? LOL Ofcourse I had to google it and loved increasing my love for this Giant creature. I now want some images to put on my wall, I think it would be a great addition to my mostly human and definitely below the Arctic circle elements of nature.....tee hee hee hee
ReplyDeleteI loved your post on the main A to Z blog. It is exactly what I needed to read today. How did you know that? Learning of this mythical Inugpasugssuk is just icing on the cake!

Inugpasug-whatever could be as big and friendly as he wants to be. Still, I'm not coming anywhere near him until he visits a doctor to handle his um, lice problem! LOL.

ReplyDeleteYikes.

This comment made me laugh out loud for real! True, true!
DeleteWow! Nice blog. You keep writing, I'll keep following. You follow me too? :)
ReplyDeleteThank you! Of course I will be following your blog!
DeleteRolling on the floor laughing over the picture this creates in my mind--lice as big as rodents UGH! makes me want to scream, but then the picture of dust mites on a televisions show the other day made me want to scream and go wash everything in the house with bleach or something. LOL
ReplyDeleteThanks for engaging my imagination.

lice the size of rodents? Oh dear!!! :)
ReplyDeleteYeah doesn't sound like a fun thing to deal with. . .
DeleteI think I could handle the giant part, but lice the size of rodents? Don't think so! Would have to pass on the lice, no matter what the size.

PUTTING WORDS DOWN ON PAPER
Agreed! My little sister had lice years ago and it was NOT fun to deal with. I can't imagine them being any bigger and having to deal with them.
