In the animal world and elsewhere

[misscam]

Awwww!

That is way, way too cute. Weee little piglets sleeping on tiger mum...!

In the not so cute - Pelican eats pigeon

Animals sure are unexpectedly caring and cruel at the same time. Hmm, whatever could that remind us of...

Python found in toilet - in *Norway*?! WTF?

American conservatives so not happy with "homosexuality in the aninmal kingdom" exibit still, I see.

The nation of Norway has now given us the first museum exhibition that claims that the birds, the bees, and other animals may be homosexuals. (...)
The trouble with museum exhibits like this one is that they try to sell children on the idea that homosexual sex is not an aberration—a claim that can lead to justification of same sex marriage.

OH NOES NORWAY BROKE THE WORLD.

First off, you got your facts wrong there, Nathan. Which you would know if you'd bothered to check what the exibit was saying rather than be all insulted at the pictures it had and try your own hand at propaganda. Yes, homosexuality can be said to be "strong" in the animal kingdom when it's been observed in 1500 species. That is not the same as claiming a majority of animals are gay. Bitch, please. (Read for yourselves and see some of what is being said.)

Also, we already have same sex marriages and school children are going to see this exibit - heck, I even saw kindergarten children there. I'm sure it pains you deeply at night in your wee bigoted brain as you dream of gay ducks in the rain.

OH NOES NORWAY CAN GIVE THE WORLD NEW PERCEPTIONS OF HOMOSEXUALITY. THE WORLD IS DOOOOOOMED.

In other notes of non-animal nature:
- I like Torchwood. It's all right, though only two episodes in, so I reserve final judgement still.

- Will Doctor Who fandom have hand!porn ship war? Or maybe we'll have icon war instead, judging by some of the ones I've seen around.

- The hit song in Norway the last few months - and I do love it. The song is a classic in itself, but when done well, it gives me goosebumps. (The fourth guy is Kurt Nilsen, who won World Idol with Beautiful Day and beat the American. We were filled with much glee.)

- I hate hate hate having a sodding cold. DIE GERMS DIE

Doctor-companion hand-porn is so passé. Jack is the new hand-porn ;)

Hee! So true. Before I clicked the link I thought it was all a about gimme_the_jar. I mean, come on. I thought we moved beyond the companion wars.

[nostalgia-lj.livejournal.com]

He loves that hand.

[misscam.livejournal.com]

You and your Jack agenda.

[anamin.livejournal.com]

aww, I hope you feel better. I hate being sick. *hands you a cup of tea*

[misscam.livejournal.com]

Not really. Give me a few days and it'll probably have passed, Grrr.

Tea is always brilliant, of course.

Yes. Norway broke the world. You and your sexx0rs.

We have nothing to export here but our crazy, but we have that in abundance.

Norway: We bring shagging to the world?

Someone ought to tell Mr. Tabor that being a mis-educated imbecile is en vogue right now but probably only till November (Cthulhu willing). Aside from his un-facts about bonobos, descendency from apes (hullo, we call them cousins, not ancestors for a reason, dum-dum), and animal sexuality, he's obviously unaware that pigs have half-hour orgasms, otherwise he'd have given a different example.

Or maybe I'll just send him "Dr. Tatiana's Sex Advice to All Creation", that'll learn 'im.

[misscam.livejournal.com]

Those naughty pigs. Wonder if they can teach the rest of us that trick...

He'll probably burn it for being propaganda.

[nostalgia-lj.livejournal.com]

A war of handporn icons maybe?

[misscam.livejournal.com]

With much hearts and pink?

Snakes inna toilet!

[misscam.livejournal.com]

Out now in a bathroom near you.

[sarie-gamgee.livejournal.com]

I'm so exhausted right now that when I read "Pythons in a toilet", I imagined John Cleese instead of a snake.

OMG hand!porn ship wank! Unbelievable *eyeroll*

[misscam.livejournal.com]

Unfortunate... mental... images...

Surely you've realised by now there is potentially wank over anything?

[mickat24.livejournal.com]

Oh, that version of Hallelujah is beautiful. I don't suppose you've got an mp3 version of that?

Also - the tiger and piglets = adorable. Also, however unfortunately, fake (the story is, at least).

[misscam.livejournal.com]

Not of that one, but of the live version of it from a concert they held in Oslo. Do you want?

Figures. I guess some things are too cute to be true.

OH NOES NORWAY BROKE THE WORLD.

well, it's about time somebody did. will people ever stop being so bigoted? maybe if you keep bringing the doom they'll learn sooner rather than later? no? oh well. just a thought.

have a good one!

[misscam.livejournal.com]

Worth a try, certainly.

Bigotry, like prejudices of any kind, take a while to weed out, you know? Especially because many don't even know they have them, getting them from society at large.

*hands over tissues from the big boxes I'm working my way through over at my LJ*

Huzzah for Norway breaking the world ;-D The shagging boy ducks picture was teh cute ;-P

And as for a hand!porn war....*runs for misscam's Wank Shelter....Mine's a double, Miss C!

[misscam.livejournal.com]

Hee. Finally someone else who thinks that. Yay gay ducks. Though the gay penguins are also made of win.

Yes, ma'am.

Hmmm. I like that song, too, but this version doesn't quite hit me, although I'm suspecting that it's to do with audio quality more than anything else. Their voices don't seem rich enough, timbre not deep enough, but like I said, that could well be due to crappy audio. (It's disturbingly missing the bass.) The harmonization is pretty, with some nice not-so-orthodox moments, like at the end. The third guy hits some lovely high notes--he's got the right kind of voice for it, a potential tenor clarity up there, although that means his low notes ain't as polished--and Kurt has some true depth to his voice when he employs it. He gets much kudos for staying strong up on the high notes, but they're not...pretty, they're just strong and clean, and occasionally a touch raw. Some parts stand out, like "all", "learned", "who outdrew ya"--you can hear him cradling the notes with his voice which is rather how this song should be done. There's something missing from his voice, but I'm buggered if I know what it is. Good technique, though, even if they all do need lessons in when to breathe. But I s'pose that doesn't matter so much in pop songs.

--Emotion! That's it. They need more from-the-stomach emotion. Not getting a sense of them, just the song.

...Er. Right. Will stop musicgeeksnobbing all over your blog now. >_____>

Tastes will vary.

Python found in toilet - in *Norway*?!

Ahaha...trouser snake anyone?

Unfortunately Tiger and piglets are snopeified.

I really wish I could say the same about pelican and pigeon. *Cry*

I really like the version of Halleuljah. I don't like the parts where all of them are singing the best, but Kurt Nilsen is great in his part. I remember watching World Idol when it was on. So great.
