Unless they're allergic to marigolds.<br /><br />And there's only one thing I can say, after being confronted with that tuna mold:<br /><br /><i>"Synthetic flesh!"</i><br /><br />Of course, I could never deliver that line with quite the sibilant, lip-smacking glee as Preston Foster portraying a <i>completely</i> mad scientist, but I'm sure the b-day boy will appreciate it anyway.<br /><br />Happy birthday, Ivan! <br /><br />I hope you and the 'rents are comfortably ensconced now, after that epic migration from the old homestead.<br />grouchomarxistnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1776456473941522431.post-6834164139742743512015-09-03T20:50:31.296-07:002015-09-03T20:50:31.296-07:00Happy Birthday, Ivan!

The tuna mold is Soylent Green!<br /><br />And yes, anoles are lovely, and Scott has thoughtfully offered an adorable green male, they change color, green means happy. Technically, a sexy anole is green with a red dewlap, so this is indeed a very sexy birthday lizard. Given that his dewlap is apparent but not extended and he's not angrily challenging sexual rivals, this is basically the platonic ideal of a SBL. Well played, Scott.<br /><br />They actually don't change color that much, but they are rudimentary mood lizards, in that if they become unhappy they turn brown or occasionally, if they are only going to be unhappy briefly on their way to lizard heaven, black. So happy green sexy birthday lizard!<br /><br />D.
