I logged on to it expecting some serious data analysis, a snapshot, if you like, of the nation's animal tastes. For crying out loud it's a dot co dot uk. Does that mean nothing these days? Once upon a time it was a guarantor of quality, reserved for high-minded, consequential matters.
I was hoping for some statistics, a survey testing the public's opinions and collating them to give a comprehensive league table of animal popularity. I would have disputed the findings, naturally, but this is no good. They're simply alphabeticised and the categories are all over the place. Why does 'fox terrier' have it's own group? It should go under dog!
Well, I shall be complaining to the regulating authorities, you mark my words!
In the interim I have decided to post my own top five animals starting with the best:
Number 1 - My Frog:
(see previous post)
Number 2 - Some Monkeys:
Number 3 - An Echidna:
Number 4 - This Dog:
Number 5 - Some More Monkeys
There! Isn't that better!!
Ah the mighty Echidna, stalking the grasslands of the Serengeti in search of its favourite prey, the buffalo.
ReplyDeleteThe dog looks altogether morose and put-upon, much in the likeness of King Lear who howled, "Blow, winds! And crack your cheeks! You hurricanoes and water features, etc."
Thankfully, this dog's malady may be cured with a mere biscuit and a blow-dry. Which is why a dog will never play the lead in a Shakespearean tragedy. Or so says Terry Eagleton. But then he's a cat person, isn't he?
Hmm. Personally, I am much taken with the farting hippo and his (sadly dated) dog collar.
ReplyDeleteTerry Eagleton? The TV presenter who was convicted of bestiality? Who claimed he was only trying to sort the sheep from the goats? He's a degenerate, man.
ReplyDeleteNot a bit like his cousin, John Carey, who keeps Dexters (for perfectly innocent reasons).
As to the Hippo, it looks distraught and so it should. Another reason to shut the site down immediately. Poor brute!
