    As I checked out your list, I realized Chairman Joe (the Friday & Sunday Squibs writer) has been somewhat responsible for introducing a number of them to me over the course of these past thirty-seven years. Let's begin:

    Presuming you were referring to Pronghorn Antelope, as Anguished Antelope, and not the other 34 types of antelope found across the globe, in addition to sub-Sahara Africa and other remote pockets of said species, I saw my first ever anguished antelope in western Nort' Dakota.

    Whereas Joe initiated my eternal sighting quest for burly bison since our trips west, I have to admit I had seen a bison previously to our encounters, but never in such numbers.

    Compassionate chihuahuas? Truly a made-up term that tests even my imagination. Nah, didn't see any of them.

    I worked with more than a few Dependable dodos at the toy factory, but I think they are evenly distributed into work spaces across the country and Canada, especially around South Junction, Sprague, and Rainy River.

    Believe it or not, Joe and I did see an enlightened emu run across the road ahead of us near Ada, Minnesota, and this is the absolute truth despite the fact we also saw two Polar Bears hanging from their ears on a clothesline and an igloo in the back of somebody's pickup on the same trip.

    I saw one of them Flamboyant frilled lizards in Indiantown, Florida, a year ago January, thanks to Jerry Solom --- who knew Joe, so I think that counts. And I've honestly lost count of the Graceful gophers we've seen, together and apart on travels, near and far.

    And, as anything Joe-related, he's identified innumerable plants and animals, right off the top of his head whether actual or not, as he is usually a walking encyclopedia (Don't ask him what does he know about England unless you have all day, quite a bit of wine and foodstuffs from all over the world: latest interest: Ecuadorian Cuy asado (Roasted Guinea Pig). Every hummingbird is a Hairy hummingbird, every insect imaginative.

    "Juicy jellyfish" is always on the menu at Joe's St. Patrick's Day parties, as well as his legendary Kosher king crab, which, not surprisingly, has a hint of Irish Stew to it.

    Lighthearted leopards we saw at the Como Zoo (it was mating season); the Majestic manatee who Joe insists were mistaken by sailors as mermaids or sea nymphs were seen, not at the zoo but looming up from the depths to flirt with us on our sail trip with Jerry & Marion in 2015. Negative on the newts.

    We sampled beer made with ornery oysters in a restaurant in New Hampshire, I think it was. Of course, pig was popular there as was quiet quail served on beds of wild rice and string beans with tiny bits of Canadian bacon.

    Roasted raccoon was customary farther north in Maine, as was sentimental sloth and trim tortoise, but you had to special order them in advance and pay a princely sum for the experience.

    Leave it to Joe to observe -- and naturally expound on --why the unicorn was uncomfortable sitting beneath the vivacious vulture, who the unicorn thought had similar designs on him as it did on the Zigzag Zebra. Where Joe gets these ideas is left only to the imagination.

    The facial expressions of wistful wombats are worth driving long distances to see, although it wasn't the reason for that trip east, being an enterprising nephew of Joe's began a food truck in Scituate, MA, that featured Yummy Yorkies and deep-fried xeroxable x-ray tetra fingers. Quite the taste treat. Who knew?

    Well, I see I've exhausted your wonderful list, but there's not a word nor turn of phrase here that Chairman Joe wasn't responsible for it's introduction in some remotely possible manner. Thanks Joe. Thanks John.
