Sky Rats

Sky Rats is the derogatory term boaters use for seagulls. Seagull poop is corrosive to fiberglass boats, and seagulls are prodigious poopers. Not surprisingly, their favorite targets are boats!

Born to be wild

I doubt Steppenwolf had this Easy Rider in mind.

More minaturized mammals...

...pygmy marmosets. These newborns look like tiny little Chewbaccas. Who would have thought marmosets could make wookie?

But wouldn't it get sticky?

I stumbled across this website the other day. It sells giant stuffed animals and features a woman standing in line at an ice cream shop. That struck me as a little odd. Is it really advisable to take a giant stuffed monkey with you everywhere? Then again, I suppose it's cheaper than therapy. And when it gets matted and dirty, you can wash it like this. I would imagine it wouldn't freak out quite so dramatically.

Ghosts of venison past

Why are lighted reindeer so popular? By day they appear skeletal, by night, spectral. I keep expecting the ghost of Marley to stand beside them. Yet they infest almost every neighborhood. Some yards even have little piles of green lights for them to graze upon. Then there's Vlad Deer. Vlad Deer are lighted leaping reindeer who look like they've been impaled on a stake by this guy.

Bugs vs. Books

Hmmmm...do you think this was a copy of Metamorphisis?

Proof positive

The age old question is finally answered. The Pope could not be reached for comment.

Far Side Favorite

Pictured is CrackedPot's favorite Far Side cartoon. I gave Sugar³ a boneless chicken ranch t-shirt for his birthday that he wore for years until it literally fell apart. Now it's a boat rag, so at least I get to chuckle when swabbing the decks.

Pixie piglets populate pumpkin

These little porkers were just too cute not to feature again for Halloween.


On the other hand, this plethora of pork are for those with an appetite for larger sausage links. They would need to inhabit pumpkins like this. No pumpkin, however, will hold these nightmare inducing hellish hogs.

But this would cause heartburn

Wisdom off of a bookmark CrackedPot ran across:

"Eat a live bullfrog first thing in the morning, and nothing worse will happen to you the rest of the day."

Well, at least it's not advocating noshing on these.
