SQUAWK AND ROLL

by Meg on March 11, 2010

According to alert Cuteporter Janet K., Céleste Boursier-Mougenot, created an art installation in London. It’s a walk-though aviary for a flock of zebra finches, furnished with electric guitars and other musical instruments:

As the birds go about their routine activities, perching on or feeding from the various pieces of equipment, they create a captivating, live soundscape. Rawk!

We look adorable, right? But what you aren’t realizing is I’m trying to drag my very late daughter – who has been on the phone with her boyfriend all night, mind you – to school, in order to make it to home room by 8am. At this rate, I’m going to have to send the attendance secretary several quahogs.

Still adorable, Diana H., and the original link is from  The Sun.

Hide ‘n Reek

by Prongs on March 11, 2010

Ready or not, here I come…!

I know what you’re thinking: What’s the point of playing Hide ‘n Seek when we leave such a lingering trail of delightful perfumery? Well luckily for me, Tulip up there is a little hard of smelling, so it will be a while before everyone is all “olly olly oxen free”, if you catch my drift.

Actually these are two of the four spotted skunks at the Bronx Zoo. Check out the video below, and thanks to sender-inner Luke G, and photographer Julie Larsen Maher ©WCS.

Why you lousy, goat-for-nothing thief! Give me back my lunch!

(nhhrrgh!) This is (hrrrggnh!) no way (arrrgth!) to treat a vegetarian!

Well, fine!  I didn’t want your stupid carrot anyway!

Hee, hee, hee — Chelsea knows we’re running her photos in reverse order.

After a simply pitiful day of work which included the stellar highlight of inadvertently tucking her skirt into her thong upon leaving the bathroom, Beatrice needed to relax and ordered a cup of Celestial Seasonings Tension Tamer Tea.

The Dog Gets His Day

by Prongs on March 10, 2010

Welcome, Human Traveler. You and I are about to embark on a journey of enlightenment in ways you’ve never known. Now, as I hop into my sled outfitted with electric heaters and bacon, you will hitch yourself up to this tugline that attaches you to the other bipeds, and we will be on our way.

Mush, humans, mush!

Mushez-vous!

Let’s hope those bipeds brought their asthma inhalers, Matt C.

Talk about scrambled: According to the Daily Mail, when her owners saved hen Mabel from the chop, Mabel repaid the favor by keeping their pups warm. Hot dog!
