And now for something completely different



UPDATE: Ok, cute impaired people, if that doesn't make your right-brains work, then how about these flying foxes that were separated from their mother after a big storm in Aussie-land?

I think that cat just got demoted for lack of cool cat points. He was supposed to look at you funny and go "right, I'm off".

You're cute-impaired, aren't you? :)

Oh, kitty! My youngest nephew actually does this, too. Wonder if the same person trained him?

Yes, and I have worked to be so. Unfortunately, I got married to someone who hits the few remaining cute buttons I have.

That kind of wrecks the uncute image I go for, so I have to make up for it.

Nah, Mike, just give it up. Ask Russ if you don't believe me. East-Central European girls tend to corrupt spouses towards cute pretty heavily...;)

JimDesu said...

Yeah, I've seen that one first hand: sullen would-be rebel mind converted to sullen would-be rebel mind that says "oh, kyoot!" when he sees kittens keeping us safe from fallen leaves.

Yes Mike...you will succumb. I've been with Julie for 19 years now (married 14) so yes, I can say with certainty what you find cute/not cute will change.

Actually Mike, I think the fact that Tamara has access to your few remaining cute buttons is pretty cute - sorry about that :-)

Oh, and as for the flying fox orphans - Oh my god, so KYOOT!

DAWW!!!!

People, they look like bats with the wings missing.

Yes, I am going to go down swinging.

Although Tamara did talk me out of buying the very uncute (but very excellent) T-Shirt for the new Palladium Books "Undead Reign" that has the words "Ever have one of those days?" printed over a picture of a single human on top of car swinging a shovel at a mob of several hundred zombies. That and the new shirt "We Make War Fun".

Of course, I did build that damn cage for her rabbit. Crap, I am slowly losing. I need to turn that rabbit into a mocassan quick.

Aren't flying foxes a type of fruit bat? Anyway, I think that they are cute but I think bats are cute, too. :)

You are not sullen, and bats are not cute. Or if you count them as cute, then you strike me as someone who would call a badger cute.

And badgers, while very cool, are most certainly NOT cute.

Oh yeah, Happy Saint Barbara's Day to everyone.

Here, let me help those of you fighting this cuteness thing. Got to Addicting Games.com and find the game "Don't shoot the puppy". This will help you against cuteness.

I have never lasted longer than 3 seconds.

SOME bats are cute.
Badgers are most emphatically NEVER cute.
(yeah, I'm a moderate on this cuteness thing)

I got nine minutes on "Don't shoot the puppy" LOL... it tricked me on the "click here to skip level" heh.

All animals are cute... until they (kick / bite / pee / pooh / gore ) you... and then it's time to eat them...

JimDesu said...

Convivial: agreed.
Russ: sullen? No, *you're* more likely to be described as mildly manic.

Well, if that is your way of defining cute then I highly recommend you don't live on or grow up on a farm. Cuteness wears off real quick in that environment.

JimDesu said...

I think cute is almost entirely dependent on being harmless. Once you're big enough to be a pain in the buttocks, your cute has expired. I was slightly sloppy in my agreement: it was the "...until ... it's time to eat them" part I agree with most.

I AM NOT MANIC!!

I own a farm... and generally I eat the animals sparingly. Except for the evil chickens...
