Kenya!

by gus andrews, concerning the matter of Babies, Kittens, Technological Advances

Cute in the original version, hilarious in the live-action version... how to make it even cuter and funnier? Japanese kindergarteners!

WiiKitties!

Kittens + Wii = double the happy.

Kitten power!

by a-dog, concerning the matter of Kittens

In case the world needed more demonstration that kittens are a force to be reckoned with: In Florida, two six-month-old kittens, named Fuzzy and Hardy, have just chased a 200-pound bear up a tree, where it currently remains. Fuzzy and Hardy could not be reached for comment.

If the slide will not come to Buddha,

by gus andrews, concerning the matter of Babies

Buddha will go down the slide (along with MeFi founder Matt Haughey's daughter). From his comment on the photo: "[She] loves Thai Buddhas we've seen in other gardens so we bought one last summer. Today she decided it was a friend to pal around with so she went on the swings with it and down the slide several times."

Tiny mouse surprise mug

On etsy, via Sam:

From the item description:

This sweet little mouse hides in the glossy green interior of his white mug, huddling quietly, listening & hoping you won't notice he's there until the very last sip...just waiting to be discovered after finishing a cup of milk (hot cocoa? soup?). I use similar cups at home to motivate my picky eater: “Okay, drink enough that you can see the bunny's head.”

The drunk fox jumped over the lazy dog

by sushiesque, concerning the matter of Tasty Things

If you don't have a valid driver's license, passport, or Massachusetts liquor ID to certify that you are 21 or older, please move on to the next post about meerkats or plush toys in the shape of whatever clever thing they're making plush toys of now.

My mother has kindly entrusted me with her beer coaster collection, which includes several for German brews. My favorite (though I've never tasted it) is Fuchsbüchler Berg Pils, because their mascot is a tiny, drunk fox, letterpressed in fetching orange-red and green and clutching a stein.

Remember Aesop's fable about the wily fox and the beer? The moral of the story is that beer is delicious.

Applied Geography

by sushiesque, concerning the matter of Puppies, Technological Advances

Amanda Kludt from Gridskipper has brought it to our attention that she's created a Google map to show petless New Yorkers where to get their puppy fix.

I'm half tempted to create a similar resource for the greater Boston area. We're big fans of the off-leash dog park near Union Square, and of Charles Street.

Where do you go, dear readers?

Twink's toy pianos, bunnies and ice cream

by oboreruhito, concerning the matter of Bunnies, Tasty Things, Technological Advances

Boston musician Mike Langlie, aka Twink, has been collecting toy pianos — and performing with them — for years.

NPR featured one of his songs, the See-'n'-Say-sampling "Do You Hear the Frog?", from his self-titled 2003 album (and 32-page picture book!).

Stuffed Liver

by sushiesque, concerning the matter of Technological Advances

A plush organ so friendly you'll never want to give it cirrhosis or anything:

Also happy to keep you alive: heart, kidney, and lungs. Ages 3 and up, and keep them away from these guys.

At any given moment, somewhere in the world, meerkats are snuggling

Your cockatoos don't dance, and if they don't dance, then they're no cockatoos of mine

by a-dog

Snowball, a sulphur-crested Eleonora cockatoo, loves to dance to the Backstreet Boys - and he probably does it better than you. We are informed that he learned to do so without any training whatsoever; he's just got rhythm.
