Feel better about your writing by reading some really bad metaphors from high school students…funny enough, some of these sound like silly thinks Tom Robbins would use.
This little guy, Nils Olav, has officially been knighted by the Norwegian army. That’s the cutest thing ever.
At Comic Con, I was lucky enough to be introduced to the brilliance that is the Dogville shorts. These “Barkies” are hilarious, perhaps animal abuse, but hey…it was the 20’s. You won’t believe how cute the costumes are, particularly on some of the girl dogs. They actually have plots. Bad plots for the most part, but the adorable dogs with decent enough plots actually make them worth watching. Plus, I’ve decided they are the ultimate party/bar films for something that people will look up at and say “WTF,” without actually stopping to watch the screen for too long.
These short films using dogs as actors were collected and compilled into one bootleg DVD that you can buy from this site. I’m not trying to sell these to you, but I will say this DVD was the best thing I bought at the comic con and that’s the only place I can seem to find them for sale.
This crazy little deer was found a mile and a half out to sea. Luckily, a marine found him and returned him to shore. Thanks Cute Overload, for giving us the story.
This hideously ugly pig thing reminds me of a real Pigglet from Winnie The Pooh. Link.
Dales Designs made an absolutely adorable baby animal alphabet.
I only wish he’d now make a LOL version.
Oh how I love my LOLZ. And baby animals. Together….they can take down the world.
A rejected new-born red panda was adopted by a mommy cat. It happened in the Australian Zoo. Why do these animals continue to taunt me with their love and adorableness?
Red pandas as adults are the cutest things ever too. I wanna seem him growned up and playing with his mommy kitty.
Thanks Rueters.
For the ultimate in cuteness, and to see how your opinion of cute ranks with that of others, look no further than the Continuum of Cuteness. You get to rank tons of creatures on their respective levels of cute and then compare your results to others. Try it! My cutest are below, and the not-so-cute above.
All these news stories lately are making me a sucker for bear stories. First the bear and kitty friends, now this. Ram Singh Munda, a resident of India, saved this little bear when it was abandoned in the forest. The bear, named Rani or “queen,” became friends with his daughter who was recovering from the death of her mother and is now like a member of the family.
Unfortunately, rather than trying to do what’s best for all involved, the Indian government just arrested Munda, sent the bear to the zoo and his daughter to boarding school. Now the little bear isn’t eating. The whole thing just isn’t right. I do agree that he shouldn’t be raising a bear at his house, but he shouldn’t go to jail and the bear’s hunger strike is dangerous. Booo Indian government! Booo!
Seriously, how cute is that little bear on the bike? He looks like he’s smiling.
