Cuteness and odd animals

I ran into a lovely site for animal lovers and them as aren't getting enough cuteness in their lives: Zooborns, which is a site of baby animal pictures from zoos all over the world. For something truly strange, look at the pictures of the baby aardvark. I'm very fond of the tiger cubs.

And this is possibly the weirdest looking bird I've ever seen. Right around 0:44, it opens its eyes all the way, which is kind of frightening.

Quote du jour from Eleanor Roosevelt

I had a rose named after me and I was very flattered.
But I was not pleased to read the description in the catalog:
'No good in bed, but fine against a wall'.

For Friday: totally NSFW video

The artist of this little music video is "TastiSkank." This is pretty rude and incredibly funny and it's for every woman who's had a really bad lover. The language is definitely NSFW, but the production values are exceptional. And it's a good enough piece of music, too!

  2. Pour into glass tray.
  3. Refrigerate until very firm.

Blow job of the day?

This is a camera showing Mt. Redoubt in Alaska. (Why, what did you think I meant?)

A cat haiku for Friday

I was looking up Ernest Borgnine on IMDB.com to see how old he is (92!) and saw a lovely haiku by a user named Crazykaese.

Small brave carnivores
Kill pine cones and mosquitoes,
Fear vacuum cleaner

"Wipeout" on the banjo

I was in the middle of working on receipts for expenses and so on, when I got pinged by a cousin with this little nugget.

I think we've seen it demonstrated that you can play just about anything on a banjo. But it's not the banjo that's really unusual in this; it's the washboard.

Oy.
