Rather large Prehensile Tailed Porcupine getting lovey with one of his keepers! He kissed her. No lie. 
he was getting mad at her, I think, he wanted more love, she didnt want a face full of Porcupine nose XD I think his nose is hella cute though.

One of the Giant Turtles trying to get inside, I think. But he tried very hard to 'burrow' his way into the corner. 
One of the two lionesses. The lion was growling at the stick in the moat, and batted at it once then she took over. I have about 39u53980589032 photos of the big cats playing.

Hello.
Last time a shared photos of Hamhung and Nampho, North Korea. I wanted for people to know some other places except Pyongyang, the capital. This time I want to share some photos of villages and cities between Wonsan and Hamhung.
Under the LJ cut you will see such uknown places for tourists like Kumya, Jongdong, Kosong, Kowon, Munchon. All these places are part of South Hamgyŏng, which is a province of North Korea. More than 3 million people live there. Enjoy.

Watch other photos...

How did they do it?

"Purple drank", a concoction containing prescription-strength cough syrup (which contains codeine and promethazine) and other ingredients such as 7Up soft drink and pieces of Jolly Rancher candy. Popularized by Houston, TX producer DJ Screw, "purple drank" is widely attributed as a source of inspiration for the "chopped and screwed" style of hip hop music.

Edie in Bellevue, Washington wasn’t too happy with the neighbor’s cat using her lawn as its personal toilet, so she finally asked the cat’s owner if she’d please clean it up. “She did,” Edie says, “but only after explaining that the cat poops on everyone’s lawn and no one else minds.” (After asking around the neighborhood, Edie found this to be only half-true.)
Little did they know that cat’s crap was practically worth its weight in friggin’ GOLD!!! One can only imagine the reactions of Edie and her similarly ungrateful neighbors when they finished reading the photocopied letter taped to their front doors. (First place? For three years running?? What fools we’ve all been!!!)

I sometimes do exactly what this bearded dragon is doing. I'll head outside to my favorite basking spot and take a seat with my favorite meal, pizza. I'll take a slice and set it on my head, close my eyes, and give a deep sigh of contentedness. It's an almost spiritual moment, sitting there with my food.
It's time for a fantastic ugly animal holiday: Saturday, September 4th is International Vulture Awareness Day. Hope the following portraits inspire you while you're making your shopping list for carrion and other delicacies for your celebration.

At Nat’s office in York, England, one of his coworkers has been trying to bully everyone into coughing up some cash for an (admittedly worthy) charitable cause.
In Nat’s opinion, however, her guilt-heavy fund-raising techniques might benefit from a little fine-tuning…especially given that all seven of those special “charity pens” were nicked from the office supply closet.

Custom, acrylic painting done on canvas board from an ultrasound photo. Since it is from an ultrasound photo, it will be somewhat abstract and surreal in appearance, but will still capture the joy of expecting a baby. Just e-mail me a photo and tell me which color you would like. The one shown here, is in monochromatic green with metallic yellow to add warmth and depth. If you have several favorite photos, send them all, and I’ll pick one. The painting can usually be done within a weekend’s time and I can ship it when it dries.
The joy of expecting a baby?
Warmth and depth?
How does this creepy goblin exhibit any of those things?!
I can only imagine the sheer terror on my mother’s face if one day fatty pregnant me rolled up with this horror in tow. It would be second only to her look of disappointment upon learning that not only did I order this monstrosity, I paid $85 for it.

Renee hopes never to have anything like that growing inside of her.
I find it kind of disturbing honestly.
It’s like, I can imagine her casually talking on the phone with one hand while holding a child’s head underwater in a bathtub with the other hand.
Again, no indication that there’s anything evil about her. It’s just those dead, dead eyes.

In one of my clearest memories of first grade, I distinctly remember my teacher telling us, on the first day of school, that the bathroom in the back of the classroom was only for emergencies. For non-emergencies, we’d have to wait until lunchtime. In my six-year-old mind, however, “emergency” meant only one thing: “throwing up.” And so, when I had to go, I held it. And held it. Until…well, I wasn’t holding it anymore.
That’s right: It actually took wetting my pants for me to learn that the word “emergency” means very different things to different people — a concept some people apparently still haven’t figured out.
It’s unclear, for example, what might constitute a “citrus emergency” at this Pleasanton, California optometrist’s office. (Perhaps a masochistic mandarin peeling itself?)
You might think people would be a little more precise in their language on a military base. At Arizona’s Fort Huachuca, you’d only be about half right.
At Gustavo’s new office building in Seattle, it only took about a week — and about a bazillion false alarms— before someone decided a little clarification was necessary. (Sorta sounds like something you’d expect from a classroom of first-graders, no?)
Meanwhile, Andrew in Cirencester, England only noticed this sign after pushing open one of his office’s alarmed fire doors (triggering a sudden and unforeseen occurrence — i.e., ear-shattering noise).

I think I just found inspiration for the next MamaPop party cake. That lizard is as dope as a unicorn, easily. Plus have you ever seen a unicorn with a castle on it’s butt?
No, no you have not.
From the listing:
11″ high X 18″ long X 21″. Antique taxidermy Iguana. Ivan was a gift from a wonderful customer. He is 75+ years old and looked older. He was very patient while I made repairs and added a castle to his back. This old boy is ready for his new life.
I hope I’m rockin’ as hard as this guy when I’m 75+! (and that the MamaPop party tradition will live on till then)
Thanks Adrienne!

Maybe I’m just a sucker for all things PacMan (and I am), but try and tell me this slightly pixelated jewel doesn’t make you smile.

I might just order one of these myself. Just as soon as I throw my Hypercolor t-shirt into the wash.

These notes — the first from on office in California, the second from an office in Arkansas — both seem like they’re following the same not-quite-finished flowchart for acceptable office paper usage.
Really, you’re in for a scolding no matter what. And as our submitter Hannah noticed — in this bizarre exchange from the copy room at a school in Spartanburg, South Carolina — contrition only seems to further incense the office Paper Nazis.

Yoshi's Island is probably one of the pinnacles of the 16-bit gaming era. And yes, the game is kicking my ass, much to my dismay. For a "kid's game," it is surprisingly complex and challenging. And fun. "Fun" being the element that is missing in many of the games of this current gaming generation.

This is a video of my cat, Cloud, chewing on nothing. It's so weird and so cute. He doesn't do it very often but we managed to catch it on video recently. Skip about 20-30 seconds into it to see the weird/cuteness.

I don't know how it happened, I don't know why it happened, I don't know if it's a good thing, I don't know if it's a bad thing. All I know is, this lady has hair growing out of her shoulders. I don't know if she has hair growing out of other places and frankly I don't want to know. I don't know why she has hair growing out of her shoulders or if she knows why she has hair growing out of her shoulders. But she does and there, that's that.

A couple of Taiwanese videos showcase an eerily adorable cyclops turtle.
From MedTerms:
Cyclopia: A congenital abnormality (birth defect) in which there is only one eye. That eye is centrally placed in the area normally occupied by the root of the nose. There is a missing nose or a nose in the form of a proboscis (a tubular appendage) located above the eye.
Cyclopia and milder forms of the same developmental disorder result from holoprosencephaly which is a failure of the embryonic forebrain to subdivide properly. (The embryonic forebrain is normally responsible for inducing the development of the orbits.) Chromosome abnormalities (such as trisomy 13) and gene mutations can disrupt this process. So also can certain toxins, some of them found in wild plants.

“Here is Paula the prozac poster girl. Paula measures a little over 12″ tall. I made her to hang up in the window or anywhere. I think we can all relate to how she feels. She will bring a smile to anyone who sees her. What a fun doll to have……….makes a fine gift too.”
If someone gave me this creepy ass thing as a gift, they wouldn’t need Prozac, they’d need a pain pill.
Note the prison stripes on the doll next to Paula? That’s Paul. From The Pen. Usually located right next to mental wards. Coincidence? Jes’ sayin’.
