on the difference between flying lizards, purse rats, and the higher life forms

Here you go, bird enthusiasts: absolute proof of the difference between highly evolved, sophisticated life forms and your inferior little pets. Check out that music selection!

Backstreet Boid from Cute Overload

And here’s more or less the same thing, with a Purse Rat.

Dancing Kitten Unicorn Chaser

By now, all our loyal readers should be familiar with the concept of the Unicorn Chaser. And, after the last 48 hours, I dunno about you, but I could sure use one. Here, therefore and thereunto and tho on, is a unicorn chaser composed of synchronized, dancing Burmese kittens. Or maybe Himilayan kittens. I dunno, I’m sure some undersocialized Metafilterite will be along shortly with the correct answer.

Christian Bale the Dance Remix

What could be more perfect? It’s Christian Bale‘s pottymouthed rant from last summer, remixed and set to a bouncy dance beat. Positively Beyonce-worthy! Click and enjoy, but make sure your boss is either not around or stone deaf first!

If, by chance, you can’t stop till you get enough, there’s another one with original lyrics at HolyMoly.

Happy Anniversary, Motown!

Motown records brought black music by black musicians into the mainstream, and changed American culture forever.  If you’d like a serious analysis of that, please go here. You know I ain’t got time for that shit.

Instead, I’d like to present two videos choreographed by very, very white people, and mashed up with some very, very black (although not Motown, it must be said, and indeed it WOULD have been said, had I not just said it myself, thus inocculating this blog against those so-called sayers and their nastily truthful accusations, now where was I?) music.

Bob Fosse‘s Mexican Breakfast featuring Gwen Verdon: original here. Unaccredited, vulgar ripoff by Beyonce here. More amusing version of same here. Walk It Out, Fosse version below:

And here is something that could only be made even whiter by the addition of Soulja Boy: Tappercize!

Hot Chick Post: Bettie Page, Living Legend, In Critical Condition

Bettie Page, the notorious
Bettie Page, the notorious

Bettie Page, the wholesomest stripper the world has ever seen and probably the original model for BOTH Betty and Veronica, is hospitalized in critical condition in Los Angeles after a heart attack. The 85-year-old legend is reported to be in a coma at an unnamed LA-area hospital.

Here is some video of Bettie in her glory days of 1950, stripping with her trademark smile and a wink (and slight White Girl’s Rhythm).
