soul so dead
He never to himself hath
said . . .
T wish to hell I had a
stuffed mongoose being
strangled by a cobra!’ ”
Although practically everyone,
consciously o r subconsciously,
wishes for a complete mongoose-
cobra set from time to time, I
believe I am the only person at
Aggieland who has one all his
own. How this rather unique ar
ticle came to College Station is
a long, slightly unusual story.
Mortimer (the mongoose) and
Lucifer (the cobra) are natives
of India, where their relatives
still fight like cats and dogs.
However, they were destined to
die near a taxidermist shop in
stead of in the dense Indian jun
gle. Somehow, the unusual set
came into the possession of a
wealthy Arabian gentleman with
exquisite tastes in Kuwait, Saudi
Arabia.
An American construction of
ficial and his wife were among
the guests at a buffet dinner giv
en by this particular gentleman
one evening. Serving as a cen
terpiece amidst trays of hors
d’oeuvres and other delicacies
were Mortimer and Lucifer locked
in silent, deadly combat.
Being not exactly accustomed
to such elegance, the American
lady immediately gasped at the
sight, placed her hand to her
mouth and turned a lovely, sickly
shade of green.
“Is something wrong? Are
you ill?” asked the host.
“Oh, no, of course not,” she
quickly replied, fervently racking

her brain to find an appropriate,
but polite answer.
“I was just thinking—what a
lovely centerpiece!” she blurted
out, momentarily forgetting the
fact that she was in Saudi Arabia,
where the custom is that if a
guest compliments anything the
host’s home it automatically be
comes his own.
When the couple returned to
their car after the party, there
was Morty and Lucifer, sitting
rigidly in the front seat of their
car.
Not all people appreciate such
elegance as exotic mongoose and
cobra teams, however. Upon re
turning to the United States, the
couple presented the set to their
20-year old daughter, who was
attending college in San Francis
co.
When she discovered that her
rum-drinking, peanut butter-eat
ing pooch, Socrates, refused to
live in the same house with the
pair, she had to choose between
the spoiled canine and the mon
goose set. This was naturally
quite a difficult decision, but at
last she decided. She began
searching for a new home for
the two. At first she decided to
present it to a San Francisco
museum where they would proba
bly just collect dust.
Then the idea hit her—what
better home could this depraved-
looking oddity possibly find than
living with an Aggie ? After
locating me on a trip to Texas,
it took very little persuasion to
convince me this was right and
yours truly returned home late
one night the proud possessor of
a promised mongoose and cobra.
I decided to break the news
to my mother that same night.
I felt sure she would be excited,
but I didn’t realize just how
much.
“Mother,” I announced, “Guess
what. ? I’m finally getting us
just what we’ve always needed.”
“Money! !” yelled Mom in her
sweet, tender, motherly manner.
“No, no Mother, it even more
w'onderful than that. It’s just
what we really need — a mon
goose being strangled by a co
bra—stuffed, of course!” I quick
ly added.
“A x&%*/*% mongoose and
cobra! !” screamed Mother over
and over in her same lovely, g'en-
tle motherlike voice as she franti
cally searched for a heavy, blunt
instrument.
“What in the world are you
going to do with it? I’ve put

up with everything—your fish
Lone Stars beer caps spurs, that
stuffed baby alligator, your
goofy-looking campaign hat, stol
en beer mugs from half the joints
in Texas, and even that statue
of a drunk guzzling Carta Blanca
that you dragged back from
across the border. But you’re
not bringing any more freaks
into this house.”
By now, I began to suspect that
dear ol’ Mother wasn’t too happy
with the latest addition to our
happy little home. In fact, the
rest of the summer wasn’t too
pleasant, and I was even glad
to start back to A&M this fall.
Soon after my return to school,
the mongoose and cobra arrived,
adding an even more “homey”
atmosphere to my already lovely
room in dorm 1.
The pair received a variety of
reactions, ranging from a few
“wildcats” from the juniors to a
puzzled what - in - the - hell -
does - this - place - do - to you -
after - two - years look on the
faces of the fish.
In case you’re wondering what
purpose mongoose-and-cobra sets
serve, well ... it does keep stray
dogs wandering up and down the
dorm from entering my room.
And it’s great for officer inspec
tions since the bull never sees
anything else in the room he’s
inspecting.
However, A&M is still A&M,
even if you do possess a mon
goose and cobra. On one in
spection this fall a particularly
military major, a product of West
Point, entered the room, stopped,
gaped and said:
“Cadet Hargrove, where on
earth did you get that monstrosi
ty?”
“Rich girl friend sent it to me,
Sir.”
“She must have been,” he mut
tered, running his finger across
Lucifer’s scaley back.
“Tell her she should have dust
ed it first!” he snapped as he
stormed out the door.
I’m still waiting for my rams
for a “dusty mongoose and cobra”
to come through!
