Eaglie's annual Four Horsemen post will be going up soon, just... well, okay, I ask for some more slack. I mean, Eaglie didn't even get to wish you guys Merry Christmas! For that, I am sorry. Please, have a Merry Christmas. On the house. In lieu of the Horsemen post for now, sit with something that cheered me up today and in Auld Lang Syne: (Video via Neatorama and friend-of-the-blog Chris Edwards.) Here's to a happier, healthier 2011, one with a Four Horsemen post and lots more happy penguins. Labels: Critters, Holiday Magic

It's an environmental disaster! Do something before it gets worse than the Exxon Valdez! It will lead to the destruction of the Gulf Coast people and their homes! Do something, please, before it's worse than Hurricane Katrina! Nothing we can do about it while it makes the shrimping industry extinct? OH GOD, SOMEBODY DO SOMETHING, NOW!!! TOO MUCH!!! The British Petroleum oil leak in the Gulf of Mexico has been going for weeks now. In that time, we've seen the rare: perfect games in baseball, ALMOST-perfect games in baseball, and the rarest sight of all, a Chicago sports team on the verge of winning a championship. We've seen politicians backtrack on stupid statements made years ago. We've seen almost-covert military operations by Israel. And we saw someone get named an American Idol by text message. Not exactly rare things these days, but all these things, all the while, oil leaked out of the earth and into our seafood. Sigh. I will resign on this. There is no hope. That squeeze bottle of cocktail sauce in my fridge... so much will be wasted. Labels: America, Critters, Economics, News, Religion/Technology, Travel

 "It's 9/9/9. September has 9 letters, Wednesday has 9 and its the 252 day of the year added equal 9." --@MarketTraders Why is today so important? There's that first statement from some crackpot on Twitter. There are also some who say the gods decreed that cats will have a day off on their most sacred numbered day--9/9/09. Nine lives. Whether these gods were Egyptian, Etruscan, or Catholic, I do not know. We'll say probably all of them. Most religions have pretty similar stories, don't they? I would have ignored the signs. I might have been Jonahesque. Then I saw this video: So while I do not normally post pictures of cats, and I hardly email them, I will support Urlesque and their cult. No cats today. At all. I have one rule: this eagle does not commit hubris. Labels: Critters, OK Internet Corral

It's always great to see scientists finding new places to vacation and learn about the horrible world we live in. Labels: Critters, Religion/Philosophy, Science/Technology

Why are we not flooding the inboxes here? Hali is the perfect name for a babe. Also, let's do this quickly, so Stephen Colbert doesn't find this and get to name ANOTHER bald eagle (Colberta). I know they've already picked the finalists, but you never know. Colbert has a way with voting records. (Special thanks to Hilary for bringing this to the blog's attention.) Labels: Critters

I am appalled at my own title. For I found this today. So I ask: Lewis & Clark, serial killers or victims of a comedic hoax? Oh, and this is a shout out to these guys, who followed me on Twitter. Remember: Twitter: everyone's using it now, so why shouldn't you follow me? This thing really exploded, didn't it? Labels: Comedy, Critters, History, Is/Are the Media?

Raccoons, on the loose! Which means they should get a warden for the White House grounds. Maybe a chief deputy spokesperson for wildlife. (Or find a more rugged Secretary of the Interior.) Whoops, they already have one of those wildlife spokesmen, sounds like. I'm starting to find this press secretary figure more palatable by the day. Labels: Critters

I would like to give a statement, in light of the new facts available about a few bad eggs knocking down that plane: They were geese that caused that crash. Do not blame all birds. I mean, everyone loves birds right now. I mean, Philadelphia, Arizona, Baltimore, me... we're all friendly and total winners, so please, don't scapegoat us. Scapegoat the geese and President Bush.

Would these be cheaper to hang outside as lights, or would there be too many liabilities? (From a link of a link from Dave Barry.) Labels: Critters
At least it doesn't come out the other end, like that one in South America. (From rdtj23.) Labels: Critters

If they didn't have a video for this headline, I was going stop reading immediately. Then there was a video, and I didn't read the article anyway. He really does look like an old jazz man, doesn't he? Labels: Critters

Why does no one listen to Natalie? Bernanke? Please? I listen to Natalie. See more Natalie Portman videos at Funny or Die I say we peg the dollar to them, including Natalie and Rashida. (First watched at Cute Overload.)

Definitely seems a little too convenient, doesn't it? (And God rest you, Steve Irwin. It was two years ago this month.) Labels: Critters

 While I disagree with the "rodent" line (they are very easy to lure into snuggling and prompt eating with cheese or peanut butter), I don't disagree with the "bird" line: I am quite ornery* when hungry. * - (n.) to be pissed off, like a bird, in the Latin Labels: Critters

I most certainly do NOT need the help. I am doing perfectly fine, even bumping into all the right women in the hallways. They want me. BONUS! Let's have a Caption Contest on the picture! I'm thinking something along the lines of, "LOOK OUT, KOALA! Creepy oversexed American is behind you!" Labels: Critters

You used 20 bullets and shot 6,000 pounds of food, but could only carry 200 pounds of food back. If you continue hunting in this area, food will become scarce. (Note: "6,000 pounds" comes from an estimate based on Wikipedia's "adult bison weight" range... I took the mean of that times 4.) Labels: Critters
Wait, this is what the Norwegian military is doing with its time? Not knighting me? Sir Eaglie? This is the problem with the world: not enough people are paying attention to birds, and when they do, it's the Norwegians with a penguin. I sound bitter, so let me say this: Nils Olav isn't such a bad bird. Met him once, and we discussed the weather. This didn't last long, since it was winter, and I live in the Midwest--and he lives in freakin' Norway. Again with the Viking hate? I apologize, and extend congrats to you, Sir Nils. I'll see you at the convention in January. (From Pacman, God bless him. Picture link from Cute Overload.) Labels: Critters |
