Ok...this was probably WAY funnier last night, after 3 drinks on a fairly empty stomach.  But I could not go w/o memorializing this conversation, and the reprecussions that took place the following day.

 

The IM chat went something like this:

And sure enough, the poor, little lizard lay belly-up on my deck this morning.  He had a big ole crease in his chin and a big ole crease in his belly.  Poor thing.  I really did feel kinda bad.  But, friends being the good friends they are, will not let another good friend live this down.

 

Take a gander at this thread where my friend, MightyHalo was so kind to draw this picture (posted below) for me.  Now, you have all the background you need to follow the thread with some intelligence.

 

Enjoy.
