quiz: which pet are you?

I guess “Squid” wasn’t a category? And the last line rings totally false: as if most people are smarter than monkeys! Stolen from max.


You Would Be a Pet Monkey


Smart and unbridled, you are truly unpredictable… and a little crazy.

You’re very playful and funny, but you’re also moody and aggressive.

You’re have the personality of a wild animal, which is both scary and entertaining.Why you would make a great pet: You’re very smart and you know how to charm people

Why you would make a bad pet: When you don’t get your way, you’re a bit of a monster

What you would love about being a monkey: Playing interesting games with humans

What you would hate about being a monkey: Not being quite smart enough to be a human!

What Kind of Pet Would You Be?

Don Ho, Peter Gabriel, Tom Selleck, David Hasselhoff, Danno, and a monkey

I have previously annointed Pat and Mick‘s YouTube masterpiece as the most Eighties music video of all time but, having now seen what you are about to see, I must reconsider. This has everything, including Giant Squid, a midnight zoo jailbreak, skydiving, a luau, flaming tiki torches, an octopus drummer, and a David Hasselhoff cameo. What more could you possibly want?

today’s fun testicle fact

Goodbye Testicles

Alas, I have no way of knowing if it’s true. There are no testicles handy (sigh) except for all of these ones in jars, and they just sit there, they don’t dangle. Please do examine any testicles that come to hand and report back in the comments.
From Popbitch:

of the two is always on the same side as which the
male writes with.” – fleetwood_smack

But…my god! What of the illiterates?!?!?!?!

Pony Pride

This is awesome. It is frightening. It is hilarious. But the comments on the YouTube page are the best of all: not only are her fellow pony collectors cheering her on for being “an individual” just like them, they’re trashing and multi-downvoting everyone who doesn’t believe exactly as they do. Fandom at its best, for sure.

I’ve got no particular issue with The Pony Lady here, except that the He-Man costume really isn’t doing her any favours, and she makes the word “pony” sound absolutely filthy when she says it; it’s the vicious, defensive, groupthinking, happyclownfaced community that I have a problem with. Hey, maybe they’ll comment!

The most intellectual sheep you’ll ever see

Seriously, I’ve met Beagles that can’t handle this. That guy is a genius, and I only wish I spoke enough Spanish to email him and ask him to train my next boyfriend!
