Posted on February 24, 2014 by wellsdc

First, we have an elephant playing dead on a beach:

I hope that I am correctly interpreting this as cute.

Next up, the stoat:

It’s different from a ferret or weasel.

I may have posted these red pandas before, but they’re worth a repeat: Continue reading →

The Rarest Gummi of Them All

Posted on February 22, 2014 by wellsdc

Yes, the Gummi Venus de Milo is real, apparently.

Homer: Ooh, Gummi bears! Gummi calves’ heads! Gummi jaw breakers! (Sees a Gummi figure rotating on a red pillow in a glass case.)

Homer: (Lustily) Ohh…What’s that?

Man: That is the rarest Gummi of them all, the Gummi Venus de Milo, carved by Gummi artisans who work exclusively in the medium of Gummi.

Marge: Will you two stop saying “Gummi” so much?

First off, the Pitweiler, from Matt3794 on Reddit, who noted: “Met a Pitweiler the other day at the shop. I almost cried in front of the mechanics out of sheer joy.”

I didn’t really want to, but I did some Googling, and found that this is the “Face Bank – Coin Eating Savings Bank,” available for $19.72.
