we're all mad here
So today was Elephant Day at work. I'm not sure entirely what that means, except that it gave us a good excuse to have an event and make total dorks of ourselves.
Hence Zoomazing Race, at (shocking) the zoo! Where we all dressed up as Zoolander characters, just to be really ridiculous.
I was Katinka, and the boyfriend was a very cute Derek Zoolander. We even had a Billy Zane at the company. And two hand models. (One went all out and made an awesome hyperbaric chamber with LEDs and everything. He didn't shave for a week either, so he looked pretty David-Duchovny-mangy. The other guy just stuck his hand in a jam jar. Oh, coworkers.)
So we ran around the zoo and got some very interesting looks because of our costumes. It was a lot of fun, but we didn't really get any time to enjoy the animals because we were running around like crazy people trying to find out how much meat a wolf's stomache could hold in one meal, and using straws in our mouths to pass rings to eachother to simulate these birds that feed by passing berries to one another... (Yes, seriously.)
In the end, my team came in second by a tenth of a point (although we should have won because the team that won was late getting back, but one of the Hansel's on that team demanded a walk-off to decide the winner, and pulled underwear out of his pants to win, a la Hansel... which he then proceeded to accidentally throw at me. Scary.)
Second place prize? First pick of the penis cookies one of our coworkers made. And first place only got first stab at the elephant cake another coworker made.
Suckers.
