* * * * * *ATTN LOUNGE! We must gather for an emergency pet intervention of LynneSin! * * * * * * *
It has been brought to the attention of the admins that LynneSin recently discussed her desire of a pet baby pygmy hippo here in the Lounge while also discussing eating exotic foods just days before. We all know LynneSin has a big heart but it's a fact that she let the penguins get away, had a pet fox at one point, and could never explain the whereabouts of the tiger she harbored.
In light of this disturbing news, the First Ever Lounge Intervention of Nefarious Edibles (FELINE) is now underway. Anyone spotting a post by LynneSin with any reference to a "pet" animal is encouraged alert the admins immediately. The members of Cooking & Baking have been notified to be on the lookout for her should she request recipes for her adventurous eating experiments.
BE ALERT! An animal's life could depend upon it.

take such an active role in everyone's life. and these interventions are not only heartwarming but informative as well.
i would like to see a photo of the little hippo before we make any snap judgments though. perhaps her intent is simply to learn: "what to feed a baby pygmy hippo" rather than "how to feast on a baby pygmy hippo"
still...if the hippo has a peanut allergy then, indeed, it's life might certainly depend upon our intervention.
(smiley face with flag crap right back atcha!)
but I found a mysterious sign
and that's what made me suspicious.
...Lynnesin. I lied but it was rather scary.

and proudly join this emergency pet intervention, regardless of the facts!
What we need is a nice sit-down with some nice appetizers and a nice baby pygmy hippo...um, a nice, succulent, luscious savory entree. That's the ticket!
My place okay with you? I happen to be a very good cook. (I studied under the best African chefs.)
If you want to bring wine, might I suggest...
We don't want any hippo huggers to freak out.
Luscious Hippo wine sounds perfect. 
Oh, no thank you. I wish I hadn't filled up on celery earlier or I'd love to try a bite.
(runs into bathroom to tweet PETA...)
.... coming up with unique names for new strains of pot???!!!1! Well someone had to point this possibility out!
(psst: can we like ixnay on all the tastes like chicken business in this thread? Some folks are a bit sensitive to such appalling comparisons. If one wants to say that things taste like duck, I'm ok with that).
They DO float ya know, there's no getting around that little factoid!
