Hell, it's lucky they aren't black or they'd likely be shot. I think what happened is the lead elk got fucked up eating truffles and they all just fell in behind him.

First I've heard that truffles are hallucinogenic. Perhaps you need to switch you shroom supplier?

Whoooosh. What's your excuse for being so clueless?

3 cats have outmaneuvered their 2 humans to hold a blender hostage for weeks

Remind you of anyone?

Jessica Gerson-Neeves and her wife, Nikii, are really looking forward to using their new Vitamix blender to whip up smoothies and soups. In fact, the highly anticipated Black Friday purchase has recently become the focal point of their kitchen at home in British Columbia, Canada.

There's just one problem: They can't actually unpack it. "It arrived in the mail on Dec. 16, and I brought it inside and set the box down on the kitchen floor for just a quick second," Gerson-Neeves says. "And that was a month ago." The cardboard box has become the site of a weekslong turf war between the couple and their three cats, in a saga that has garnered thousands of invested followers on social media.

Gerson-Neeves has posted near-daily updates on the cats' Facebook page (warning: language), documenting their hilariously formal changing of the guard, ever-shifting alliances and misadventures involving decoy boxes. The posts read like dispatches from the front lines of a high-stakes battle, documenting the trio's every move and their humans' unsuccessful attempts to disrupt them.

The youngest troublemaker is Max, a tuxedo cat with the alias "sentient soccer ball." Then there's George, Destroyer of Worlds ("that's what's on his tag," Gerson-Neeves says), also known as "sentient potato." Rounding out the group is Lando Calrissian, who moonlights in the posts as "questionably sentient dust bunny" because, according to Gerson-Neeves, "he has a lot of fluff and very few thoughts."

Gerson-Neeves is a sick puppy and is just drumming up volume for when she puts those cats in that fucking thing and turns it on. They come out, if at all, looking like Stretch, the cat you brought here that you insist isn't yours. I think the whole goddamn thing is stupid.

It's no wonder you hate cats so much.

Because quite obviously you're a sick puppy.

One who probably likes to sneak into the cats' litter box and scarf down some feline "chocolates".

Sad.

But who am I to criticize? My latest indulgence is presumably real chocolate, in the form of Reese's Peanut Butter cups. I have discovered that the mini version is actually a better deal than the standard size. Going by the shelf price divided by the weight of the contents. Plus the minis come wrapped in fake gold foil, not the boring plastic the larger size comes in. But at least it's not the cat shit you seem so enamoured with.

Well, I won't tell about how you......yeah, hell, I will tell it. I happen to know that you frequently take breaks from posting gibberish to insert each finger and the thumb of one hand into the anus of five cats so that you end up with a squirming writhing howling frantic rear leg action batch of hell that can be heard by the neighbors on both sides. And they're starting to get fed up with it. Knock it off.

Wow.

You really are a very very sick puppy.

[O Really]

Wow.

You really are a very very sick puppy.

With a creative imagination not unlike Stephen King or Dean Koontz, both of whom generally kill off cats and honour dogs.

Was not expecting that.

[Ulysses]

I think we cruised by Pyramid Lake on a collecting trip back in the 1960's.

Didn't see any zebras. Nor any cougars.

[O Really]

Saw this on TV, had to look up whether it's a reptile or bird:

Damn, it looks like something that barely survived Useless's backyard animal torture habitat. More power to it.

If it was a reptile you could have stomped it.

Orcas Are Able to Kill and Eat Blue Whales, Scientists Confirm

In March 2019, scientists studying whales near southwestern Australia stumbled on a supersize spectacle that few had seen before — a pod of orcas viciously attacking a blue whale.

Over a dozen orcas surrounded the mighty animal. They had already bitten off its dorsal fin, and the animal was unable to evade the fast and agile predators. The water ran red with the blood of the massive creature, and chunks of its flesh were floating all around. The scientists observed one orca force its way into the blue whale’s mouth and feast on its tongue. It took an hour for the orcas to kill the blue whale, and once they did, about 50 other orcas showed up to devour the carcass.

... Blue whales, the largest creatures that have ever lived, can grow up to 110 feet in length, but the animal being attacked was only 70 feet long, which raised questions about whether it was a younger blue whale. But Wellard and her team were able to photograph the blue whale before the orcas tore it to shreds. Based on its appearance, as well as the location and time of year it was photographed, they concluded that it was an adult pygmy blue whale, a subspecies that is genetically similar to the most massive of the blue whales, but with a smaller size and other distinguishing characteristics....

Oh, it was "only" a 70 foot adult pygmy blue whale. Well, that's different.
