How many Hippo owners are there out there on DiscoWeb?

I thought they were Darbies...   Chris von C.

My guess is it came from this advertisement - note the family resemblance, especially the ears! Besides, it rhymes with Disco..get it ;-)   Don Collins (Donc) Member Username: Donc Post Number: 115 Registered: 04-2002 Posted on Saturday, November 22, 2003 - 04:12 am:    02 SE myself.
