The summer months have apparently turned livejournal into some sort of virtual petting zoo. Thus far, innocently scrolling my friends page, in the last 24 hours I have been unexpectedly presented with the following:


[livejournal.com profile] evil_nick's mollusc baby octopus - cute, slimy, and strangely edible-looking.


[livejournal.com profile] _matt__'s kiiiiitten! small cat thing! so cuuuuuute! I love the way it hasn't quite worked out it needs to put all four paws on the ground. confused baby fuzzy creature! awwww!


[livejournal.com profile] edlwiess1's "camel cricket", apparently. What. The. Fuck. The carapace is quite pretty, but I totally wouldn't want to meet one in my bathroom.

Well, internets, what strange and wonderful creatures are you going to fling at me next? Which beasties will take to roaming the vast prairies of /~libellum/friends? If anyone's taking requests, I'd like more kittens, please, and golden lion tamarinds, and lesbians tigers, and penguins. And perhaps a pangolin, although they're slightly overrated (and nothing like Vestal Virgins).

My first reaction to the seeing the octupus was "Oh my God it's baby Cthulhu!"

I think I need more tea.

I have been wondering where [livejournal.com profile] evil_nick got the baby octopus picture, and why.

BTW, apparently I might be stealing the Music DoS's flight. D's got back to me, with all intents and purposes rather keen on my joining in. Yay!

If you're on the hunt for critters, I should point out (just in case you haven't seen it before) the weird, wild and rather wonderful baby aye aye (http://news.nationalgeographic.com/news/2005/04/0419_050419_ayeaye.html)...

I think I can anticipate hearing the squeaking in Cambridge from here... *grin*

mollusc. *nods*

I can't believe you're coming to Sweden. It'll be so amazingly cool. Saunas and vodka and niceness and eeeeeeeeeee! And we'll have decent sopranos! Only don't let Dave attempt to show you his Baroque Fingering...

pangolins are NOT overrated!!!

The massive feet are because he has extra toes (well, claws), which makes him the SCARY KITTEN MUTANT!! (Or ball of fluff, as you can see).

Hurrah for someone else thinking pangolins are overrated! Even if you did only put that in to stop me complaining.

When you get cats, will you get a kitten, or be ethical and get a grown up one? I don't think I've ever in my life played with a kitten, and I feel horribly bereft, so I'm trying to persuade everyone I know to get kittens.

Hurrah! All the best people (and kittens) have extra digits.

My ex has that on a t-shirt...

(Baby cthulhu; not more tea)

I have seen that T-shirt. They even do it in sizes for very small children: I was tempted to buy one for my (not yet born) nephew, but I don't think my sister would be amused.

Oh well, you'll just have to give the baby a plush Nyarlethotep or something instead..

Porcupines (http://www.hedweb.com/animimag/poripine.jpg) are always a safe bet.

They're not that much fun, they mostly poo everywhere and get stuck in things. And then poo in them.

Is Cthulhu that colour? Anyway, clearly not enough tentacles.

no, clearly not - the eyes aren't big enough!

I'm still going with Mad Cambridge Don. It's the little white wispy hairs...

I thought all kittens had relatively enormous paws?

it makes him more like a TIGER.

well, they are in that Beard 1980 leads one to believe they're like Vestal Virgins, and they so aren't.

Much like puppies then. The poo is one of the reasons why I want my friends to get kittens and don't want to get them myself.
