SO, in Bio, we're studying ethology. My professor is big on nature and animals, and she has a lot of pictures of animals from her walks through the woods.

So she flashes to a picture of a red-tailed hawk.

"What is this animal doing?"
"Saving the world from yeerks!"
People give me weird looks, so I say, "I mean, looking for food."

Then, a slide later, there's a freaking video of a grizzly bear with her cubs. One waddles around, and I am confident that it's Marco, because he would totally walk like that. I think Rachel and the others had some mission in Alaska and were disguised as a grizzly momma and cubs, because there is no other way to explain this.

If I fail Bio because all I did was come up with Animorph explanations for animal behavior, I will blame you guys.

"What is this animal doing?"
"Saving the world from yeerks!"

That is awesome.

Your icon FTW!

You would have been INSTANTLY my class buddy if I had heard that.

I had a similar moment years and years ago, there was some sort of slug and they asked what it was and I said "Yeerk".

I know all of the above...;-) I was making up a fake mission in my head. I'm sure there are some we don't know about.

Blame us? Why us? We didn't write it! D:

(maybe kinda wish we did...)

You are awesome.

Lately, any time something involving animals comes up I start rambling about Animorphs. My friend has two inflatable whales for his pool. I named one Cassie because it has girly eyes and looks very Cassie-like. I named the other Jake 'cause it looked all serious and Jakelike. and every time I see a bird of prey I yell "TOBIAS!" even though I can't see well enough to know what kind of bird it is...

I wonder, though, if it is possible to morph a young animal? They've never morphed specifically puppies or a maggot (not that they'd want to morph a maggot)...

To add to the list of times they morphed animal mothers... Tobias acquires and kills a rabbit, then morphs her to take care of the babies. #23 The Pretender.

SNU.

They did the baby seals in The Extreme...

PS I know what you mean about the hawks. I see hawks in the air here. Probably red-tails but it's hard to tell. And a couple weeks ago, one plopped down in the woods right accross the street.

There's a red-tail who hangs around the parking lot of the place where I work every summer. Tobias taking a cross-country trip, perhaps.

You may fail the class, but at least you'll have fun doing it.

On a random band trip, we stopped at a mall with a Cinnabon. (I could probably just stop here.)

The amount of people crowding a single paper plate with a cinnamon roll on it going "ciiiiin. Ciiiinnamoooon. Roooollll-uh. Hee!" was downright cultish.

...Yes, this was a college group.

But yeah, you'd've totally been my class buddy for that.

god I haven't eaten a cinnabon in years because the only image that comes to mind when I pass one is Ax rolling on the ground in hypoglycemic shock as paramedics load him onto a stretcher

looool

i actually never had a cinnabon till years after hearing about them in animorphs. when i finally did, i was like, damn, i can see what ax's issue was

I had to get a Cinnabon at the mall back in January lol. And I had it all over my face like him...somehow it got on my glasses

You might just fail the class...

..but you'll win the internets :D

Awesome post. You made me happy XD

I wish I'd had biology with another Animorphs fan because I totally had similar issues (I have issues like that in a lot of classes, actually, but that's beside the point) and I'd have loved to have someone actually GET all my random screaming XD

I for one am incredibly disappointed in your classmates that no one at least laughed. Saving the world from Yeerks indeed. :D
