Carl gets retro

Crocs don't really have history as a concept.  We don't look back to such and such a period of time, at such and such individuals, doing such or such exploits.  If you're thinking about ancient Egypt and Sobek the crocodile god (see May 31 post) right now, then you're forgetting what I told you.  That's a human thing, coz it's made-up.  If you're thinking about the dawn of the crocodile during the Eocene, then pretty much ditto.  Although respect for remembering.  Means a lot.

Crocs live in the here and now.  Whether that's sitting on a storage heater or patrolling a stinky river.

But you've probably figured out that I'm not a normal croc.  And sometimes the Keeper's human culture rubs off on me.  Take for example this old advert that he showed me on youtube.  It's for a chocolate egg and he says the language is scottish: Kinder ad

It makes him laugh.  He must of watched it like ten times.  I think it stars some kind of gnome and you know how I feel about those.

Anyway, now he's decided it's time I did a retro photo-shoot.  Yeh, I just love that.  You can see one of the pictures on the right.  I didn't want to put the rest up.  They made me feel dirty.

OK, so that was my retro trip.  Back to the here and now.

Monday tomorrow...

Sleep tight,


Carl
