Hail Whales goes INTERNATIONAL

Thanks all you foreign whale fans!! the power of whales transcends all boundaries (even country boundaries!)

Finally!!

Ok, so while I was stuck at the JFK airport for 8 hours last Monday, I was pleasantly surprised to find that Delta had WHALE CRAKERS in their snack mix. I took photos to post, but unfortunately I didn't have the cables with me to download them from my camera to the computer. However, now I am back and excited to share with you

*drum roll*

a photo of these tasty whale crackers!

it's amazing where you can find whales these days!

Although I suppose it is kind of cruel to be eating anything that resembles a whale, I assure you that these were just simple cheddar crackers presented in the shape of a whale. This shape was probably chosen to honor the whale, rather than to support any form of eating whales!
Enjoy,

nothing like a random whale product!

Ok I'm going to start this post off with a good old 3rd grade writing prompt tactic, setting a scene:
So you come home from a long grueling day of work, set down your briefcase, say hi to your kids who run up and greet you, and then take off your coat. But where are you going to put it??????? On one of these fancy whale coat racks of course:

Enjoy!

Which one of these coat racks is your favorite? Have you ever seen a whale coat rack in person? What other whale products are you interested in seeing here on hail whales? Feel free to leave a comment!

ROYAL whales

due to a recent debate over English royalty in our facebook group (and since one of our slogans is "where whales are ROYAL"), I decided to scour the vast resource that is the internet for "royal whales." I found this pin of a royal whale in disguise:

How cute, right?

I also found this necklace of a royal whale boasting her crown for all her subjects to see:

Lastly, I stumbled upon this "Royal Whale Whirlpool Bathtub" for $3000

Once I become rich from discovering a new species of whale, I will be sure to put this in my house :)

Oh, and also, Sarah found this interesting image of a "Royal Fail Whale," (I don't have a twitter, but apparently the fail whale is what pops up on twitter when the server is to busy to take anymore tweets):

Enjoy,

A drawer makeover: whale style

A few day ago I assembled these drawers for this cube shelf I purchased from ikea. They were great and functional but their handles were super boring and ugly. And guess what the universal cure for boringness and ugliness is?? WHALES. I made these whale drawer knobs/handles out of model magic, then painted them and hot glued them onto the old handles. Here's a before and after:

Before

After!!

whales whales and more whales!

On the last day of school, some of my friends and I drew 100 whales on our history teacher's board. These whales ranged from christmas whale to sophistocated whale to ninja whale. There was even one that swollowed a cardboard box (look in the upper left corner). We even kept a whale count (also in the upper left corner) to ensure that we drew exactly 100 whales. Here's a picture:

Pillow Pets!

With such a catchy jingle and so many animals to chose from, who wouldn't want a pillow pet? I also joined the craze when I recieved a dolphin pillow pet around christmas time. However, I later discovered in early spring that they created a new Orca pillow pet, which of course I had to get! Hence, I got a mini orca pillow pet so that my dolphin one would have a friend. Here is a picture of me with my two pillow pets (note how I carefully concealed my identity):

Sneaky, right?

And here's their commercial in case anyone is interested in getting a surprisingly catchy jingle sung by toddlers stuck in their head:

about me!

sorry this is a little late, I'm sure there were a lot of disappointed hail whales fans scouring this blog for a new post throughout the day (50 views in the last four days! w00t! thanks everyone! :) ). Don't worry I promise I'll post earlier tomorrow. And in case you need even more whale filled info, I recommend looking at the "about me" page ( upper right hand corner) or just click here to be linked to that page. Everyday I check the box that makes it generate a new random question which I will answer! I will also be keeping an archive of the random questions and my answers (since only one can be displayed at a time in the about me section) look for that page on the righthand side right above the new poll. Just a quick warning though, these questions can get reeeaaalllyyy random, but don't worry, that only makes my answers that much more hilarious.

***HERE IS THE LINK TO THE ARCHIVE OF RANDOM QUESTIONS: (click here)
****AND PLEASE REMEMBER TO ENTER OUR AWESOME CONTEST: (click here)
to counterbalance all this serious and boring stuff, here's a cute whale photo (cute whale photos fix just about everything, don't they?)

my attempt at a whale tissue box

okay so a little while back I posted about a "whale tissue box" (<-- click for link) and talked about how I would attempt to make my own. The super cute ones that I found at the time are actually $40 plus $10 shipping and handling!!! what a rip off!!! click "here" for the link to where they are sold. So once I discovered the outrageous price, I decided I HAD to make my own. Unfortunately, Stop and Shop didn't have any plain blue tissue boxes so I got two patterned ones. Here is a picture of the first one:

It's kind of hard to see the smile with the weird lighting, but I'm thinking it will come out better on my next patterned box (which is lighter).

anyway, enjoy and remember to please enter our contest (<--click for link)

Why do pigs get to have all the fun?

Piggy bank? pshd! how about a Whale bank?!?!
Yes, that's right, I suppose others are beginning to realize just how awesome the whale is as well as how necessary it is to include whales in our daily life. Check out the "whale piggy bank" (<-- click for link)
