The Title

"Can you draw a gerbil?"

I had to stop and think about Liz's comment on my latest blog title suggestion.  "When I worked at Sea-Fur I drafted a gerbil liquefaction system to attach to their hydraulic testing rig.  I can't remember if I drew the gerbil or not.  I think this means I'm qualified."

Earlier, I had come up with 'Untether the Dirigible' as The Title for our travel blog.  Admittedly, I may have been slightly over-caffeinated, but based on her first response I had to guess that Liz thought I was making up words.  Judging by the red dotted line under 'untether', I think Firefox might agree with her.

"Hmmm...I'm picturing a gerbil whose broken free from it's leash?"  Her first impression.  A skeptical question mark?

"A dirigible is a blimp, as in an antiquated mode of transport.  Although a cartoon gerbil piloting a mini blimp would be adorable as a mascot!"

That's how it happened.  I assure you we're not secretly Decemberist fanatics or hot air balloon aficionados.  So...does anyone actually know how to draw a gerbil?
