Carl is down for essential maintenance

WE APOLOGISE TO OUR CUSTOMERS

Well, given that it's the 21st day of the Month of the Crocodile, I spose it's about time that I got a bit of the old maintenance.  And let's face it, who doesn't enjoy a nice Mr Sheen rubdown and a thorough cotton-budding.

Here's a message from the Keeper:

"Carl the Crocodile will be down for essential maintenance during Tuesday June 21.  We apologise for any inconvenience this may cause our customers.  In the mean time, may I take this opportunity to thank you for your continued support during the Month of the Crocodile and wish our ebay bidders the best of luck for the auction."

He has a weird way of saying things, doesn't he?  Reckon he'd benefit from a good Mr Sheening, too.

ON MY MAINTENANCE GANTRY

Anyway, it sure is nice to get up on the old maintenance gantry once in a while.  I recommend it, personally.

Carl's Croco-fact #7

Nile crocs get Egyptian Plovers to clean their chops and they don't even eat them. 

Mind you, I reckon the temptation to chomp up one of those tasty little fellows probably gets too much once in a while.

With all those feathers, it'd be like dinner and toothbrush all in one!

Stay clean!

Sometimes it gets lonely being a one-of-a-kind, handcarved, woodcrafted and charming crocodile.  Anyone might think it's all rock and roll lifestyle; all photoshoots and Mr Sheen sessions.  But it's not like that.

Oh sure, I got a top class perch on the storage heater by the telly.  But I'm on my own.  The Keeper doesn't count.  He does all his human stuff and I can't really join in.  That's why I got this hobby, really.  Blogging.  It puts me out there.



DON'T BE A STRANGER

It's not like that for humans.  If they get lonesome, they got their Miss Waleses or their sisters-in-law.

I dunno.  I spose it's coz it's Monday.  Mind you there is always an opportunity for a quick fact:

Carl's Croco-fact #4

The largest known crocodile was 6.2 metres long.  That's over eight times my length or around three and a quarter Keepers.  That's one big croc.

So I know it probably goes against human nature to get too close to a croc, if you have any comments on my blog or need to ask me a croco-question, don't be shy.

I won't bite.
