I think Survivor said it best:
“It’s the eye of the tiger, it’s the cream of the fight
Risin’ up to the challenge of our rival
And the last known survivor stalks his prey in the night
And he’s watchin’ us all in the eye of the tiger”
Check this piece of awesomeness out.
It’s a TIGER and it’s a TEAPOT!
What but how can that be? You ask.
It’s true. It holds 3 cups of liquid and then you can pour it out of the tigers paw.
How freaking cool is that!
My god, amazing. Now all you have to do is be like Rocky Balboa and beat out that rival Russian who wants your TIGER TEAPOT. Then you can run up those stairs and raise your Tiger Trophy to the sky and sit down and have tea at 4. Hopefully you can go 10 Rounds. Good luck champ!
I will meet you in Park Slope Wednesday the 18th or Friday the 20th.

hey i really want the teapot, but i can only meet up in queens, is that possible?
Please let me know-***-***-****. Thank you.
(Queens? I’m sorry am I going to the airport? I do not go to Queens unless you are flying me on some tropical adventure where I can see actual big cats. And yes I know tigers don’t live in tropical areas but that’s where I want to go. I will settle for seeing a Puma or an Ocelot or something.)

Oh my god.
you must be a crazy person to be giving that thing away…
its like giving away a bag of american flags to a terrorist or sumthin like that.
I wish to have it so that I may present it to my girlfriend for being a crazy tiger.
she will love it!
Next fri is best for me, lwmmw knoq.

(Ohhhh yes I think you are the one! This made me laugh actually out loud. Like for real LOL. And it’s true I probably would give away a bag of American Flags but I would make people write something funny about why they want them and stuff and patriotism would not be the winner.)

I think the TIGER TEAPOT is great. I would love to take care of the tiger if I managed to beat out the rival. I could meet you on Wed. the 18th.
Thank you,
RS – home – ***-***-****
I would need to arrange Access A Ride at least by the day before the pick up.
(Oh dear, I have a soft spot for the elderly and the disabled but I’m just not feeling this one. Plus it sounds like it would be too much trouble to get to me and then I would want to go bring it to her directly because I would feel bad and I just don’t have time for that, maybe next time when I have a macramé owl or something to give away she could have that.)

Hey,
Your tiger is so frickin’ awesome! I would love to have that, as I’m
sure it’s a great conversation starter or maintainer… But wow, I
just fell in love with that little tiger’s face and the fact that
liquid comes out of the paw… Just tell me a time you’re available
and I’d love to come pick it up!

(Ok you don’t suck. And you seem to have trouble in social situations and you could use my tigers assistance. I will put you in the runner up category.)

Subject: Tiger Tea Pot
It is true that I was raised by a cat named Corduroy Kitten, and that he often spoke to me in the most stylish and grammatically creative sentences I have ever heard. It is also true that as an infant I rejected a bottle full of anything but Earl Grey tea, half a teaspoon of sugar. These are not, however, the reasons I must have the tiger teapot. The reason I must have the tiger teapot is a much more fantastical story, and shall follow in the next several lines.
When I was just six years old, I dreamt of a tiger who spoke only in rhyme. I encountered him under a Wollemi pine tree while collecting beechnuts one fine whirligigerous afternoon.
His words will forever stay in my head:
I had a child of the wood
Gracious she stood
In ferocious delight
Of the most dangerous night
A wild beast on her did spy
A plan hatched to steal her cry
And although she climbed high
It was not within her to fly
A tiger of the wood, she was
Gone that day to a most evil beast
Remorseless, no heart in the least
And so I lost her, my tiger of the wood
But you I shall adopt
Since in the wood you have stopped
Of my selfishness I am aware
But I own this wooded land
And my will you shall bear
So now my child, stand
My tiger daughter you shall be
Now come inside
And have some tea
——–
So now you see why I must have the tiger teapot, as the adopted daughter of a mother tiger. In her manner of speaking I will explain myself one more time:
The tiger teapot I must exclusively own
Since out of the woods I was thrown
With memories only of my tiger mother’s tea
I beg you please
To bring it to me
(And so we have a clear winner, the effort, the content, the poetry and so we met on a sunny Saturday afternoon and she’s charming and so like a tiger, impulsive, vivacious, and dynamic. This tiger tea pot will live happily ever after with the girl raised by tigers. Enjoy Tiger Girl!)
