Blue Whale
FOUND by Margi Tenney
in Austin, Texas
This is a blue whale I found on the ground at the foot of some stairs by the Ransom Center on the UT campus. I've never found a whale before. Someone is probably sad because they lost it. It had three pieces of masking tape on the back so it might have been posted somewhere. It's a really nice whale; I like the eyes because they remind me of Picasso.

aw, its a girl whale! u wanna know how i know its a girl? cuz it has eyelashes, haha...that's how u instantly make a male or gender neutral drawing into a girl, jus give it some eyelashes...as if boys didn't have eyelashes too...pshh....
good morning all!
flippen sweet whale. it has a lazy eye. ah how i adore the random.
I love this whale! Especially that it has eye lashes. This would make a great cartoon character...better than that sarcastic, ugly whale on 12oz Mouse.
It looks like it's talking to someone over there off to the right...but there's nobody there. Or maybe it's just lost in thought and talking to itself (I don't know if it's a male or female so I'm sticking with 'it'). I'm standing right here whale...you can talk to me. Come on, tell me what's on your mind? SPEAK damn you!
Gah! Rude whale
The description far outweighs the find in this case. "It's a really nice whale," says Margi, presumably with a straight face. While I don't disagree, I think it takes a special type of mind to apply that particular sentence to this particular object.
Thanks, Margi. Now I can go to bed.
That is the most awesome thing I have ever seen.
It reminds me of this whale joke i know. . . hahahhaahahahahhahaaha
Picasso, huh? I'd say this is obviously a Matisse whale.
Thank you Maya, for picking up on the eyelash thing. Judging by the gentle curve of the eyelashes, this kid was proud of its mad eyelash drawing skillz.
It is a nice whale.
its a kind whale, but kinda dopey.
strikes me as a wise, comforting, favorite aunt type creature. One minute you can tell deep, dark secrets to her and the next you are being silly together....the best of buddies.
I think everyone is looking too into it.
...but then again I just wanted a reason to comment so I can change my name and location and sound silly.
The whale reminds me of the cartoon that used to be in the Travesty, "Other Things that Kill Whales"
I can now say that I've seen a whale giving me "come hither" eyes. Now I can die in peace.
she looks happy.
nothing beats a happy whale.
Cute. It reminds me of the Pepperidge Farm goldfish. Maybe it's the Queen Mother of all of those little fishies.
I do believe that whale is stoned!
Mr. Smee, you're probably right.
It's probably Delta. She got stoned and headed for the Sac. river instead of up the coast like a sober whale. She probably thought she could make it to the harmony festival and took the wrong river too. She's certainly not helping her endangered species by being directionally challenged and by putting her AND her spawn Dawn in harms way. It's rehab for you whale!
This is a really, really uber-cool whale. It reminds me of Pinocchio, Picasso, and Oscar the Octopous. I just wonder what it was for? Just a drawing, or what?
I like cheese.
not that i don't like the eyelashes, but why would the whale need them?
i would say the whale is rather bored. perhaps that's why it's eyelashes are so dark. when i get bored i put on eyeliner.
what a beautiful whale. i love her :)
ab is your name annie?
A very soothing blue whale it is .
The blue meanies are here! I thought they were instinct......come on gramma police, hit me with your best shot!!!
Anyone else having 80's flashbacks to Burning Sensations "Belly of the Whale?" I loved that song; awesome to dance to! Shit I'm OLD.
The first two lines: "A nice breeze blows in, whenever the big fellow cracks a grin..." This blue whale is grinning.... maybe he just ate Jonah!
Yes, us Utahns have nice whales. Though, I'm more than certain this did not come out of the Great Salt Lake and was just out for a stroll. This is a good thing, trust me. Everything that comes out of the lake smells instantly of a$$.
Should that have said "we" instead of "us". Damn!!! I'm not sure! If it should have, my deepest apologies.
this makes me want to make a whale... i think i will.
sooooo cute!!!! i wish i had a a shirt with this whale on it... or a purse... or some socks... or an umbrella. anybody wanna make me one?
Freespirit in USA: ha ha ha, gramma police--I'm getting a mental image...the gals in blue, hair that is...
Mr Jack in Utah, i'm assuming the finder of this find found it at the UT campus - University of Texas.
not that it matters, but texas is closer to the coast than utah is...thus more likely to have wales.
all the wales from the Great Salt Lake are the size of a pinhead and get turned into sea monkeys, and this does not look like a sea monkey to me!
I think it blew in from Catoosa, Oklahoma

I'd like to be, under the sea, in an octopus' garden in the shade, with that big blue whale.........
I thought everyone would like to know that the whale has a very good home. It was given to me by Margi (who found it)when my beloved pet Mr Phish died. The blue whale is now framed and floats above my desk!
Does UT have a preschool on campus?
The description is classic when taken out of context:
"I've never found a whale before. Someone is probably sad because they lost it...It's a really nice whale."
UT probably does the same silly program that OSU does, which is a result of the book "Whale Done!" about how teamwork at Sea World is perfect and everyone else should use that kind of teamwork. I frequently have a large whale taped to my office door...
Hey, Money in the Bank...
I hate to break it to you, but this whale is not the mama to all those little cheesy goldfish. I know this because whales are not fish. Sorry to burst your bubble.
Maybe the whale was the Daddy...
This whale reminds me of 10 foot long penises.
Penises, huh Terrie? Well then, I guess EVERYTHING is unique in totally-unique-ville. If this is what the wangs look like in your little town, pray tell - what the hell do the vulvae look like? Manatees?
Well, Flargy. Newborn blue whales are very large. Much bigger than manatees. So, I imagine that the vulvae are very, very large.
Holy labia majora!
Lance... In this case it's labia majORCA.
Thanks for the new imagery, guys. I'll never think of ten foot penises the same way again.
Lisaloulou, thank you for the update on Blue Whale's whereabouts! It's good to know that he (she?) has such a good home. Sorry about Mr. Phish, though.
