Buy this duckbilled platypus tea infuser now, before City Hall anchors it to the mud flats.

Many thanks to regular reader B for this great gift suggestion. Now all we need is a way to get Kool-Aid into tea bags, and we're set. Aldous Huxley would be so very proud of New Albany.

VivaBoo tea infuser

The duck-billed, beaver-tailed, otter-footed platypus is a unique and rare animal inhabiting eastern Australia. Fill our platypus-shaped VivaBoo tea Infuser’s belly with a loose tea of your choice and put it in a cup of hot water. The tea infuses through VivaBoo’s body. Whether it’s a mug or a tumbler, VivaBoo hangs conveniently inside your cup by its bill. Cute and fun, catch VivaBoo peeking curiously from your cup!

The platypus is our new official city mammal, and will begin donating eggs to the mayor's State Senate campaign immediately.

No, it's NOT a seal. It's a platypus.

"The unusual appearance of this egg-laying, duck-billed, beaver-tailed, otter-footed mammal baffled European naturalists when they first encountered it, with some considering it an elaborate hoax."

I was trying to make Perry the Platypus. What pervert thought it was something else and ruined my art????

These guys, that's who. We've identified them as the mayor's crack Public Art Deportment Department.

Bicentennial Park Snow Schlong: Or, when City Hall stamped out public art (literally).
