I Can't Believe It's Not Kant!

Posted: Jun 30th, 2008, 12:23pm MST by Not That Mike The Other Mike

While the common dog enthusiast may content himself to costume his cur in the guise of hackneyed pop-culture icons, retro-urban folk archetypes, or even perverse attempts at species confusion, the intellectual dog owner seeks to cloak Man's Best Friend not in the artificiality of cloth, but in the transcendence of Truth. It is for these enlightened few that The Cute Overload School of Philosophy Gift Shop is pleased to offer ...

The Immanuel Kant Doggie Dress-Up Kit!

Each kit includes a deluxe leather-bound edition of Kant's Critique of Pure Reason translated into Dog, a set of Categories of the Understanding flash cards, and an easy-to-learn guide to teaching your dog pensive philosophical poses.

To order, contact Ian O.

"Oh ... mah ... gawd! She's not actually wearing that in public, is she?"

"Ugh. They need to pass a law: After your second child, no more Spandex."

"And those zebra stripes are so not working with the feather boa and the alligator bag."

"She either raided Kelly Osborne's closet ... or the local zoo. Hee, hee, hee!"

Adding insult to injury

Posted: Jun 29th, 2008, 7:46pm MST by Meg

This just in, Maria Sharapova's dog's ball has been stolen.

Allegedly, cunning mini thief "Sniffles" (pictured below) is to blame. According to our sources, the trouble began when Alla Kudryavtseva shocked Wimbledon audiences by beating Sharapova. It was then that Sniffles blatantly stole (and ravenously chewed on) the winning tennis ball from the Sharapova/Kudryavtseva upset match.

Sharapova's pup "Dolce" could not be reached for comment.

Cub benefits from Zoo director's hospitality

Posted: Jun 29th, 2008, 6:00pm MST by Meg

According to BBC, Behbeh cubbersons "Zara" was born to a young and inexperienced Ma who wasn't sure how to take care of her. At under three pounds, this cub woulda died if it weren't a certain Linton Zoo Director. Eventually, this cub will be set loose in Uganda, but in the meantime, "Arnie" the cat is getting his snorgle on.

Episode Nine: Peril in the Cupcake Swamp

Posted: Jun 20th, 2008, 6:09pm MST by Not That Mike The Other Mike

Suddenly, the jungle grew still. The birds in the treetop canopy above us ceased their endless chattering and worriedly began to scan the distant horizon. "It's no use," I sighed, exhausted. "The surface is too smooth in every direction! There's nothing to grab hold of!" It was then that Julietta began to thrash about in panic. "Don't struggle, Miss Greenaway!" shouted Professor Dawkins. "It will only cause the frosting to drag you down faster!"

But it was only the sudden rumbling of the ground that made her stop. We felt it again, then again -- a dull vibration coursing through the forest floor, clearer and closer with every step. The birds scattered into the skies in terror and the monkeys disappeared chattering into the trees. There was a rustling behind me and then we saw it -- the creature known by the natives as besta distorcido da selva: Fuzzy Beast of the Jungle.

Julietta screamed and struggled anew. "NO!" yelled Dawkins, but it was too late -- the monster had noticed us. It lowered its massive head, and it was then that I saw them: The whiskers. They were our only hope now. "Grab onto my shoulders!" I told the others. "We've got one ... last ... chance."

Will our heroes survive? View the entire thrilling episode at Picasa!

This Is For Your Own Protection

Posted: Jun 20th, 2008, 5:13am MST by Not That Mike The Other Mike

Meet Tai and Pip, twin red pandas at the Edmonton Valley Zoo in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada. As a safety precaution, we're only going to show you their heads, because the rest of them have been deemed by the C.O. Public Safety Advisory Committee to be too cute for safe public consumption.

If we were to show you their soft, fuzzy, oh-so-snorglable bellies, or the delicate downy fur on their bushy, bushy tails, your brains would melt into a pool of butterscotch pudding and ooze out your ears, which would really put a crimp in your plans for the weekend. Also, brain is notoriously hard to clean out of clothing, especially synthetics. We're only thinking of you, people.

Just send us the dry cleaning bill, Nicole M.

"Cut it out, you'll wake up the counselor!"

"Hey, you wanna know why I wasn't in wood shop today? You wanna know, huh? Do ya? Huh?"

"Lemmie alone, Shermy, I'm sleeping."

"It's because I totally scored with Sue-Ann Glupenpooter, that's why."

"You lie, Shermy."

"Am not! We went out behind the boat house, and she let me get to third base!"

"Oh, for your information, Shermy, Bruce from cabin 12 told me that he overheard Becky and Janelle talking about how Weird Linda told them that Sue-Ann thinks you're a total loser spaz butthead. So shut up and go to sleep."

"All right -- second base."

Il Matadeer!

The crowd falls still as I enter the ring. At the far end stands my feared and respected enemy: Il Matadeer.

He unfurls his cape before him. I lower my head. It is our signal to begin. Soon, like my father, and his father before him, we will be locked in a dance of death, a timeless struggle from which only one may ... may ... whuh-HUH?! HEEEEYYYYY!!

"Wake up, honey. You were having the bullfight dream again."

"I was not!"

"You do realize that we're deer, don't you?"

"I WASN'T HAVING IT, HONEST!"

"It's all right, sweetie. I'm going to the kitchen -- would you like a salt lick?"

(sigh...) "Thanks, Mom."
