Domin-OMG

I present to you a Japanese game show in which people coax different animals (including an anteater, who are my FAVES!) through a walkway surrounded on both sides by precarious dominoes. SUSPENSEFUL and exciting. But not really fair to the tortoise, since he's so big. They should have given him more room to maneuver.

Best parts:
- When they lift up the wall to reveal the animal.
- The armadillo's freaky right claw/foot/toe/whatever.
- The armadillo replay.
- Lullaby music and snoozy speech bubble for the anteater.

Best Dream Ever

I had the best dream last night. I dreamt I was walking past a tangle of bushes on the sidewalk and I heard mewing. I dug into the bush and there were three kittens. TINY ONES! They were gray tabbies and looked like this.



They were all tangled up and as I pulled them out I also pulled out a little pigeon wearing a tiny wreath around its neck.



In the dream it was obvious to me that they were friends and the kittens had made the wreath for the pigeon because it was special. Maybe it was the pigeon's birthday? Anyway it was an important pigeon.

I tried to convince my boyfriend to take them all home but he said the kittens were probably diseased because they'd been hanging out with the pigeon (though the pigeon was obviously distinguished, so this argument was flawed).

The end.

Pigeon Commuter

Yesterday my friend Mike rode the subway three stops with a little pigeon! Here's our convo about it:

me: NO YOU DID NOT

mike: I DID

me: FUNNNNN

mike: so awesome

me: which stops?

was everyone happy?

did it fly around or just stand?

i think if it flew it would have been scary

mike:well, i assume it got on at smith & 9th. just sorta sat there on the floor, right near the doors. then when we got to jay st., it quietly stepped off. maybe he had jury duty.

me: UGH GOD

CUUUUTE

i wish it had a little hat

mike: it was so incredibly well behaved

i know

me: and like a little bag

UGH animals!

mike:

i know

man

me: a tiny briefcase!

just goin to work

omg and a TIE

mike: haha

me: hold on i'm drawing a pic

This reminded me of a New York Times story I read a few years ago about pigeons riding the A train in Far Rockaway.
