Friday Chat w/ Vlad
Hey, it’s Vlad. We have a very special guest for our chat today. He is one of JABCECC newest ambassadors on his first appearance on my chat. Please welcome Shaka. Hi Vlad, it’s great to finally meet you in person, I’ve heard so much about you. I know Shaka, it is great to meet me…now what exactly have you heard about me? All positive I trust. Well Vlad, let me just say everyone here has a lot to say about you. Ok Shaka, that is not exactly an answer but we can circle back to that later. So you are a black backed jackal, correct? Where are you guys from? Yes Vlad, I am a jackal and I’m from Minnesota, but if you’re asking where most black backed jackals are from, the answer is Africa. I see Shaka, let’s talk a bit about your name, does Shaka have a meaning. Well Vlad, many say the name means power. I think it was given to me because at JABCECC I will have the power to teach people about canids and hopefully get them to agree that killing us for senseless reasons is not acceptable. The name also was given to a Zulu chief that united the tribes to fight against injustices. When accompanied by a hand gesture, it has been associated with a laidback lifestyle. Legend has it that a sugar mill worker cut off all his fingers except his thumb and pinky. When he would wave he could only raise these two finger and soon others started to imitate him. Then a mayor in Honolulu started doing it while saying “Shaka Brah” and it stuck. Wow Shaka, that is a lot of information. Well Vlad, this is an education center so I’m here to educate. Excellent Shaka, now back to what the others are saying about me. I don’t know Vlad, just normal stuff. Panda said something about bringing you a ladder, and then said something else. Shaka, if that “something else” was “so he can get over himself” heads will roll. And by the way Shaka, you know what Panda calls you and your sisters??? The Jay holes. Vlad, there is a saying in Africa that goes “Uma uluma ungakhethi, ugcina usudla owakho umsila” which means when you bite indiscriminately, you end up eating your own tail. That all the time we have Shaka, ba bye.
