quiz: which pet are you?

Posted on by

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?

uh, blog content.

Blowing My CoverYesterday I unplugged for the entire day and read the only example of chick lit ever to fully engross me: the quite non-fictional Lindsay Moran‘s Blowing My Cover: My Life as a CIA Spy.

And it occurred to me: given that most women buy their own perfume, rather than leave it to some guy, why are there no perfumes that are marketed using the superhero archetype? Or the superagent one? I would totally buy something that made me feel like Supergirl or Emma Peel; in fact, that’s how I choose perfumes: by balancing alluring qualities with kickass ones, which is how I ended up with Chanel #19, Allure, and (in my dreams) Midnight Poison, DKNY Red, and Stella McCartney, all of which can be described as kickass yet fuckable.

Is it related that today I am wearing my cape? I should totally make an indoor cape, for blogging, just to put myself in the right mindset. Why should imaginary people have all the fun?

Seriously.

Also, it keeps the tentacles warm.

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:

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!
