It's Steve (now in blog form)

If you’re like me, you’ve noticed the recent trend of animals wearing underwear.  I, for one, think this sort of behavior is immoral if not criminal (I refer you to Leviticus 47:13-17 “And if thou should keep the law, the fashioning of undergarments for the beasts of the field shall be deemed unclean. Especially for pigs”).  Just look what has been turning up in my neighborhood!

This is a poodle running amok in the park flaunting his ass-less chaps. Disgraceful. (Note: It was pointed out to me that if chaps had an ass they would be pants.  While I understand this, ass-less chaps is fun to say).

Let’s all take a moment to contemplate the meaning of this sign. “In stock now! SQUIRREL UNDERPANTS.”  Were they previously unavailable?  Is it important for the squirrel to conceal his shameful swimsuit region?  Why the hell is the frog so happy about this?  

Forget the threat of gay marriage people.  There is a war against traditional, wholesome Christian values in this country and the front lines are manned by the animal lingerie peddlers.  Do you want your children growing up in an America where goats and ducks sport tasteful lacy panties with tiny bows and a little lace round the leg to accentuate curve of the hip?!?  I didn’t think so.  Feel free to write you congressman or local conservative AM talk radio host.  Spread the word!

Some completely unrelated stuff for a Friday morning.

Christopher Moore is a genius – If you aren’t reading Christoper Moore, you should.  I just finished Fool and I believe he is the only living author that can make the plot line of King Lear not make me feel dumb.  He’s also writes great blogs.  I can’t help but think of this post every time I see a hotel door with two peep holes now.

Squirrels eat oranges - I don’t know why this was so surprising to me.  I’ve previously seen squirrels eat dogfood, nuts, and doughnuts, but citrus just seems weird (can animals get scurvy?).  I also can’t believe this pic came out.  I shot it randomly out of the window of my car as I was driving by.

Tough decision – If I get this, I know that some of you will be impressed and some of you will think less of me.  What to do?

The good- After the rain passes, LA sometimes has moments when it’s crystal clear.  At those moments, it’s really very beautiful.

The bad- I came across this in the grocery store a couple of days ago (yeah, I take my camera everywhere now).  Just thinking about this stuff makes me throw up in my mouth a little bit.  First, how lazy do you have to be for the standard mac and cheese recipe to be overly burdensome? Second, bacon flavoring? Take that, middle America.

The squirrelly- I’ve got squirrels in my trash can.  This is a combination of cute and horrifying.  It turns out that the squirrels in this part of LA carry the bubonic plague.  Stupid plague squirrels.
