Lunchtime Quickie

Posted by on Wed, May 27, 2009 at 12:35 PM

Dear Publisher Tim Keck, I think everyone here will agree, we each need one of these on our desks. I hope you don't mind. I've ordered several cases from Planet WTF. Love, Kelly

Animals as accessories. I'm gonna buy a chihuahua for my purse and a portuguese water dog for my yard. From a breeder.

Cute and slightly disturing at the same time. It looks like a furry Qbert.

I need one too. I've decided that it is a vanity crossbreed between rodent and waterfowl, and have dubbed it a "quackerdoodle."

Planet WTF is apparently on backorder for them, though. :-(

It's a funnier-looking gerbil.

but i'm deeply afraid of what might happen if it got wet during a full moon.

I...you could have described that animal to me and my response would have been, "what, are you reading the travels of Marco Polo again? Shut your gullible face." And I, I would have been wrong.

You need glow-in-the-dark chinchilla purses made out of bioengineered chinchillas.

Now those are fun!

@3

in 1890s new york, it was trendy for the wealthy to wear animals as jewelry. as in, you would go to a pet store, buy a lizard or other small animal, wear it until it died, throw it away, and buy another one.

NEED PYGMY JERBOA NOW

I prefer the bee hummingbird. At 1.8 grams it makes the pygmy jerboa seem positively obese.

@17 - My grandmother supposedly had a live chameleon brooch she wore in the 20s! (From what I could gather it had some kind of collar attached to a pin?! And of course, it always matched her outfit ...)

As far as this video I find that thing oddly disturbing ...

@21, My parents bought my brother and me each a chameleon at the Calif. State Fair in about 1967. They matched our sweatshirts almost immediately (indeed, they were "attached" with a string attached to a safety pin attached to our sweatshirts). By the end of the day they were miserable, but we took them home, got them a large cage, caught moths and flies for them every day, and they lived a LONG TIME!

I would rather have one of those armpit-tickler monkey-cats. With the big grins and fuzzy armpits.

It looks like it's hatching a diabolical plan of some sort.
