Tetrises

Dear readers,

I regret to inform you that this morning was not the opportunistic one for a hike and sunrise.  But do not fear! There are still many more weekends to come!  In the meantime however, I wish to tell more of my tales from the train ride yesterday.

I have discovered some interesting creatures which I like to call 'Tetrises.'  During my explorations thus far, I have run into a few of these fascinating creatures and find them quite amusing.  For starters, these creatures speak another language, one that is not so different from French, but amazingly they seemed to speak english quite well too.  Thanks to their and my knowledge, I was able to discover some interesting facts about them.

The first of these facts are that they are rather attracted to people who can speak many languages such as me.  One of these Tetrises bumped into me while on the train and as a test of superiority, he declared he can speak Moroccan, English, French and German.  Being the explorer I am, I was able to match his test except for the Moroccan and passed with flying colors after he tested the truth of it.  After this first and only test, we spoke for a while and he appeared to be very much intrigued by me.  He then invited me to meet his fellow Tetrises and sit with them, but I had yet much more to explore on this train so I had to turn him down.

Later that day, while enjoying a free barbeque being served at the Dunedin train station, I discovered their manner of eating and digesting food.  Another Tetris came and joined me and a few friends at our table.  He was quite the energetic Tetris, and by the looks of his plate, rather hungry too.  He explained to all who were sitting near us his manner of eating.  He described it as similar to a game of tetris, hence the name I have given them.  Apparently, they mostly don't chew and direct the food as it enters their stomach so that they may fit as many pieces in as possible.  If they finished their plate of food and were full, than all is well.  However, if they had over filled their plate and their stomachs were overly filled, the end result would be similar to the game of tetris.  I could describe it, but I think you can get the picture.  I will admit it was rather hard to keep a straight face during this interview.

All while eating and directing his food however, I found that he too was fascinated to meet a English speaker able to adapt and speak along with him.  This too led him to introducing me to his friends, which leads me to think that these creatures are very much interested in cultured people.  He has invited me to explore his neck of the neighborhood, where apparently reside some other and potentially more interesting creatures.  Looking at my schedule thus far, I may not be headed that way in the next few days, but tonight should bring plenty of discoveries as we will be having our first neighborhood get together.

Until then, this is W.W.A. Rhondiggity, signing out.
