Chicken helmets

29 Comments

.

Well color me surprised. I never even knew these things existed..

.

.

But now that I do? I really want to buy a set for our neighbor’s birds.

.

.

I’m not exactly sure what purpose they serve… do chickens play football? Or crash motorcycles?

.

.

Or as that picture suggests, go to war? Whatever the reason, a helmeted flock of chickens must be a wonderful sight to behold.

While researching this important topic I also came across this:

.

.

Because every well dressed chicken needs a good hat.

.

.

And if you think that’s ridiculous get a load of this-

.

.

A helmet and T Rex arms might be a bridge too far..

More sad animal facts.

As I said, my crazy calendar hasn’t been nearly crazy enough to suit me, but here are a few more tidbits from March.

.

.

I see nothing wrong with this abnormality. Heck… it would saved me quite a few miserable nights when I was a foolish teenager who over indulged on T J Swan wine.

.

.

Comparison of drawing to actual rabbit?

.

.

They nailed the ears, but otherwise it looks like a bloated tick with whiskers.

.

.

This is very true…. and if I could find my backyard video when I literally bumped into a skunk, I’d prove it. They really do look like little gymnasts when they’re pissed.

Comparison of drawing to actual skunk?

.

The tail is too small, the head is too big and we still have the bloated tick issue.

This and that

I’m not a hot tub type of girl. The thought of sitting in a warm bucket of water, pruning up with friends is not high on my list of preferred activities. And while the idea of free floating ray shaped cleansers is compelling….

.

.

The idea of a scum covered pool of my bff’s exfoliated skin hasn’t changed my mind.

.

.

One of our local grocery stores is now posting trivia. How fun is that?

.

.

A combination of Scotch and Amaretto? I’ll refuse it and take my chances. Blech!

.

.

The fact that there are people who will buy this product instead of just picking one up off the ground makes my head hurt.

Vermont is still calling.

Another post about possible Vermont accommodations appeared on my feed today. Clearly, the state misses us.

.

.

And while I love the idea of staying in a romantic little treehouse ….

.

.

I admit the first thing that went through my mind was damn, that’s positively asking for a red squirrel invasion. So, hard pass from me.

.

.

I’d surely have nightmares.

Sad animal facts, the reboot.

When I bought this calendar I thought it would be rife with blog fodder, but sadly… it’s not sad enough and I’ve had to wait an entire month for a worthy example.

.

.

So after a long absence, I bring you the fly.

.

.

I’m sure Jeff Goldblum didn’t have this problem.

.

Next up is mice.

Eat twenty times a day and still keep my girlish figure? Where do I sign up..

The herd

8 Comments

.

Saturday afternoon, the deer and the snow showed up at the same time.

.

.

Our two little bowls of sweet grain don’t last long with a herd of 13 and there’s always a good deal of jostling for position. This includes outright kicking.

.

.

It’s hard to tell, but our buck has finally lost part of his rack.

.

.

And as the alpha male he usually gets a bowl to himself.

.

.

For your viewing pleasure, deer tv.

At the turn of the century, Indian leopards developed a taste for human flesh. (If that’s not a great line to start a blog? I don’t know what is.)

.

.

Pop a hot coal in grandma’s mouth and roll her down the hill? I know India is hot… but that’s cold.

.

.

As much as I love all animals… (and I do! Weirdos like wombats, echidnas, and warthogs? Love ‘em all.) I can not stand monkeys. They’re shifty little bastards and this proves my point.

.

.

Jet propelled ejaculate? Yet another reason to dislike monkeys…

.

.

I’m sure that’s more than you ever wanted to know about jerking off a monkey, but I live to educate.

You’re welcome.

Religion is a strange thing. When random rats start dropping from the sky? My first thought is not going to be a blessing, I can guarantee you that.

.

.

This is wonderful news. I must move to Britain immediately! Red squirrels are in decline? It sounds like heaven.

Elephant vs human. Who comes out on top, who’s squished to the depth of a pancake ? Mary travels to India to find out.

.

.

If you know me, you know I had to find that engraving.

.

.

A tad disappointing as dismemberments go, but hey, I tried.

.

.

A shit differential! For 400 lbs a day? I hope it was double overtime equivalent.

.

.

Proof that you can indeed be too drunk.

There’s a large section on elephants in this book including tips on which ones to avoid.

.

.

Sounds like a lot of young males I’ve known.

.

The elephant pension plan doesn’t sound too bad. Room and board with daily massages? That’s a damn sight better than Wal Mart I’m sure.
