Caveat Emptor.

by Prongs on September 11, 2009

You’d be surprised to learn how many people don’t do their research before buying a hybrid. Sure, they think they’re doing the environmentally-responsible thing, plus they’ll save money on gas. A win-win, right? Well, if they ever bothered to take a look under the hood to actually see what’s powering their hybrid, they’d realize that the amount saved on gas, won’t compare to the cash spent on walnuts. And the heckling. My God, the heckling…

Chipmunkanics.

“Well what the hell were you expecting? You think this thing runs on rainbows and unicorn tears?”

You did NOT just call me Alvin.

“Do I’s come to your office and go lookin’ under your desk? If you want to get to work before lunch, I suggest you close that hood then back away real slow. Oh, and if you want Zuko over there to stop chewing on your air filter, then you best bring the nuts. I ain’t gonna ask twice.”

What'd you think "hybrid" meant?

“Lady, honest to God, if you don’t stop starin’ at me with that gaping mouth from behind that wheel, I’m gonna bring in the squirrels.”

I hope your stowaways made the transition from car to yard quite nicely, Tammy G.

Does This Make Me Look Cat?

by Prongs on September 10, 2009

I’m not sure if it’s my haircut (the “Donald Trump Special”), or if it’s just my all-around obsession with all things me, but suddenly I’m feeling very feline.

And, might I say, “Worst feeling ever.” If you’ll excuse me, I’m going to go need to spike my alfalfa with arsenic.

Did you use a bowl for that cut, Momo?

A Day Without Cats? Can this be?
We must stop this catastrophe!

2435316564_1573c1e1a4_o

Search everywhere, from up to down,
And don’t give up until they’re found!

334650437_fe089c6de7_b

We’ll catacomb the countryside
To find out where our kitties hide.

Picture 7

Until we thwart this plan demonic
We’ll search until we’re catatonic!

2627062045_7a48920253_o

We love to hug and chase them so,
Please, Internet, don’t erase them! No!

Picture 8

Oh, heed our plaintive caterwaul,
Or life will be no fun at all.

Sender-Inner Leila J. says: “Our office hamster, Peaches, is a bit of a trollop, and somehow managed to become impregnated and birth a litter of 11 without us noticing she was “in the family way.” It’s a happy-ending story, though, as she didn’t eat any of them and instead instructed them all in the worldly delights of noshing on fresh pattypan squash and strawberries. (related story: anyone want a hamster?)”

(… OK, play it cool now; let him keep dangling it for a bit… just wander past nonchalantly… look interested, but not too interested… then just casually stroll over and oh who the hell am I kidding I want it I want it give it to me it’s my birthright as an adorable woodland creature dammit it’s mine all mine!!!)

THIS JUST IN: The American Pika

by Meg on August 23, 2009

Sure, he’s no JAPANESE Pikachu, but he’s damn close. Roundness caused by lack of arms and legs helps:

Hey Judy W., those American scientists better make the eyes bigger if we’re gonna compete with Japan…
