Toby and Sheila is the heartwarming story of a beagle’s love for his adopted mommy, a mallard duck.
Now, the fact that Sheila is very obviously a male mallard duck shouldn’t be an issue: perhaps Sheila was simply undergoing “transition” and gender reassignment during the period these images were taken. As you will see, the love between Sheila and Toby can surmount any physical barrier, no matter how challenging.
That, ladies and gentlemen, is true love.
And here is the translation, from reddit via TYWKIWDBI:
Translation: In 1994, Toby arrived at the Mac Kenzie ranch. Incredibly, Sheila–an old duck–adopted him. They lived together in a beautiful relationship. Some time after, Sheila died of old age.
So, the Mac Kenzies decided to embalm her. (Perfectly logical.) This is the video of the moment when Toby returned to see Sheila.
Something tells me the voice of experience guides the hand of the bookstore clerk here:
Well, it’s like this.
See, people in Japan will buy anything. Including, apparently, bro-ssieres.
On the other hand, I can think of at least ONE man who could use this.
At last, a xenophobic nation better known for adulterating its baby food with poisons, executing protesters, and replacing its adorable little singing girls with adorabler little lip-synching girls has passed a law that is truly a service to humanity.
They’ve outlawed mimes.
From the Guardian:
Singers who lip-synch or musicians who pretend to play their instruments twice or more in a two-year period, face having their business licences revoked.
Only professional performers will be covered, which will presumably mean the country’s most celebrated case of faking it – at the opening ceremony of the Beijing Olympics – would be exempt.
Nine-year-old Lin Miaoke was lauded around the world for her performance of Ode to the Motherland at the event. But it later emerged she was miming to a recording made by Yang Peiyi, aged seven . Officials replaced the younger girl because they judged Miaoke more photogenic.
This is progress indeed! Why, any day now they’re going to ban rat poison in restaurant meals! Or maybe just reporting on rat poison in restaurant meals.
