Mighty Morphin Bush Babies

Filed under: Fluffy Stuff, Interactive — Kelly @ March 27, 2007 7:48 pm

Via Defenders of Wildlife, a really cute but totally time-wasting, errr, time waster:

Visit YouWild.org and transform yourself — or a friend, family member, or pet — into a wolf pup, panda, sea otter, or one of our other adorable, majestic, or scary-looking critters!

Just create your personal animal morph page, and then share it with friends, family, co-workers and others to help us raise awareness about the plight of our imperiled wildlife.

YouWild.org is simple to use — you start by choosing one of twenty one different imperiled animals. Then, upload a photo of your own or choose a sample photo from our gallery of people and animals.

Finally, watch as the face you chose gradually transforms into your chosen animal. And if you like the results, you can save your morph and send it to your friends and family (and even post it on your website, blog or MySpace page)!

Here’s Baby Kelly morphing into a chimp. You can see the original photo on Flickr, where it was uploaded as part of my Bush Babies series (“Wow! Brazil is big!”).

Speaking of GW, here’s the obligatory Bush-or-Chimp? morph. Dunno how long the good Defenders will leave that one up, so you might have to create your own.

“The planet has a fever. If your baby has a fever, you go to the doctor. If the doctor says, ‘You need to intervene here,’ you don’t say, ‘Well, I read a science fiction novel that tells me it’s not a problem.’ If the crib’s on fire, you don’t speculate that the baby is flame-retardant. You take action. The planet has a fever.”

- Former Veep Al Gore, Urg[ing] Congress to Take Action on Climate Change

Carnivals & Cuteness (3/10-3/16)

Filed under: Heap o' Headlines — Kelly @ March 16, 2007 4:27 pm

Still busy with the house hunting, but not too busy to take notice of all the new calves that have magically appeared in our backyard in the past month or so. You see, folks, our current rental home sits on an 80-acre working farm. In fact, one of the many fenced livestock pastures butts up against the fenced-in area of our backyard. The closest pasture is usually where our landlords sequester the newly-birthed calves and their mothers, so we have the bittersweet pleasure of watching the young’uns romp around on shaky legs, test out their brand-new vocal cords with hearty moos!, and suckle on their mommas’ impossibly huge teats. Sweet because it’s like watching the live TV version of Cute Overload; bitter because the buhbies and parents alike all share in the same destiny - namely, the meat hooks. So sad, and so unnecessary.

Carnies, let me introduce you to your meat.

Carnivals & Cuteness (2/24-3/9)

Filed under: Heap o' Headlines, Your Featherhead's Furbabies — Kelly @ March 9, 2007 4:35 pm

This week, I bring you double the cuteness to make up for my lack of a carnivals-n-cuteness roundup last Friday. Sorry ’bout that. Posting will be kinda scattered for the time being, since Shane & I decided to make that final step into adulthood and buy a house already. My, how old that makes me feel. Anyway, Friday through Sunday is generally reserved for househunting type tasks, so I may miss a roundup here and there. I’ll try to make ‘em up best I can, promise. Until we settle in to our new digs in, oh, hopefully six months or less, bear with me.

Now, my best attempt at teaching Ralphie the history of contraception (via The Pill: A Biography of the Drug That Changed the World, by Bernard Asbell):
 

2007-02-28 - Nighty Night Ralphie! - 0001

2007-02-28 - Nighty Night Ralphie! - 0022


 
As you can see, the topic bores him to sleep. To be fair, though, everything save for food and fresh dirt lulls the little guy into a trance. He is a dog, after all.

But what for the bedwetters?

“My six-year-old, Catherine, she said to me ‘Father, they came for those with cooties, and I said nothing. Then they came for those with boogers, and I said nothing. And then they came for me, a poopy-pants, and there was no one left to speak.’”

- Rep. Jeff Fortenberry, R-Nebraska, on his precocious little poopy-pants, as interpreted by The Daily Show’s Jon Stewart.
