Run AWAY! It's a...

[Maddy McCall]

penis with teeth!!!






I love to learn about animals, so post some photos of strange-looking animals. Oh, by the way, that's a naked mole rat above. :D

Edit: Maybe I should say "the elusive naked mole rat." Hope I finally found a pic that worked. :)

[Droopy]

1. Your picture ain't working

[Maddy McCall]

6. Thanks for telling me.

See if it's working now.

[Droopy]

7. Yes it's working now. That's one ugly critter.

[lenidog]

2. It looks like image dump has thwarted you

time to go to ImageShack

[Maddy McCall]

4. look again. Is this one working?

[tyedyeto]

3. No pic...

:shrug:

[Maddy McCall]

5. see if it's working now.

[lenidog]

8. The naked mole rat has now landed

DAMN! You are actually showing me proof that naked mole rats are real. I never in a million years would have thought that. I just thought it was some weird invention that Disney created

[jobycom]

17. Disney did invent it

What, you think they cannot create real animals?

[lenidog]

18. I knew Eisner thinks he is god, I just didn't realize he actually was

:P

[jobycom]

20. Hey, Eisner's a Dem, mostly. Of course he can create

Dems create, Repubs destroy. It's a simple, timeless truism.

[tavalon]

44. Eisner's a Dem?

Coulda fooled me!

[jobycom]

47. Why would that surprise you?

He was such a big Bill Bradley supporter that he used to hold huge fundraisers for him in California, and would get upset if anyone else did.

He donates to both parties, but mostly to the Democrats. He gave to Kerry, but not Bush, in 2004. He gave to Bush in 2000, but after that he gave to McCain, and then to Gore. He's never given to JEB, as far as I can tell. He doesn't have a perfect record, like, say, Tom Cruise, but for a CEO of a huge corporation, it's surprising.

As head of Disney, he supported domestic benefits for gay employees, even in the face of a boycott. He added attractions to Disney World with an obvious liberal bias, especially the anti-development, pro-environment films at Epcot.

His films like Lion King (I & II), Mulan and Pocahontas had multi-cultural and feminist messages, and two of them were anti-war. He made films that overcame the Snow White/Sleeping Beauty complacent woman image. Even films like Beauty and the Beast and Little Mermaid had more independent leads than the older Disney films.

Then there was Fahreneit 9-11. Moore threw a tizzie over Eisner "backing out" of that film, but the truth was that Eisner told Moore before he filmed it that Disney couldn't release it. Still, Eisner paid to have it made, then let Moore release it independently under the Weinstiens. Eisner could have killed that film before production or before distribution. Eisner is a PR genius, he knew his actions were helping promote the film.

So yeah, he's a moderate with liberal tendencies on key issues, who gives more money to the Democrats, but supports Republicans at times--which is what you would expect from a big corporate exec with a lot of business in a Republican state.

So creating the naked mole rat is a pretty liberal thing to do. :-)

[tavalon]

50. Because, business wise

He's an alienating bastard. He doesn't seem to care about anything but the bottom line and he nearly destroyed Disney in the process. He just acts, business wise, like a Republican.

[Maddy McCall]

21. I assume they are real.

When my son was in third grade, he brought home whatever magazine they forced us to buy that year, with a mole rat on the cover and an article about them inside.

Pretty ugly animal, I'll say. :D

[lenidog]

23. I just never heard of such a thing till I was babysitting my niece

and she watched "Kim Possible." So when I saw it on the show I just assumed it was a Disney cartoon creation. That is one ugly rodent.

[Maddy McCall]

27. Really? I didn't know that there's a cartoon mole rat on TV.

I'll have to tune in. :hi:

[lenidog]

29. On "Kim Possible" the one character named Ron has a very cool

naked mole rat called Rufus.

[Maddy McCall]

34. If I had a pet naked mole rat, I'd name him "Bobbitt"

:evilgrin:

[lenidog]

37. LOL!!

:rofl: I needed a laugh today. Thanks:)

[Coyote_Bandit]

9. No

but I saw it earlier. Wish I had saved it. I needed the humor at this wee hour of the morning....

[tyedyeto]

12. I can see it now........

that is one penis-looking mole ya got there. LOL

[mark414]

10. the ugliest fish in the sea

the monkfish

[lenidog]

13. I think the Coelecanth still has him beat but this bastich is a close

second

[Maddy McCall]

15. What do you do with a monkfish?

That is one fugly fish. Do you eat it? Mount it? Throw it back? (I would cut line; I certainly wouldn't put my finger in its mouth to remove the hook.) :scared:

[mark414]

16. you can eat the tail

which usually gets you about 1-4 pounds of meat...the rest...you don't want to eat the rest

[lenidog]

19. You know who ever it was in the dim distant past that first hooked one of

those things must have been damn hungry to try and eat it.

[Maddy McCall]

22. Ok, this is very interesting!

Where do you catch a monkfish? Why would you only eat the tail? What's wrong with the rest of it?

Seriously, I love learning about new animals. I've never seen one of these, and it's a very intriguing animal. I'll go google later...just enjoying conversing here now. :D

[lenidog]

25. Check this guy out he is a male Siberian Musk Deer

""

[Maddy McCall]

28. Wish we had some of those down in the south.

Might tame the rabid hunters here. Look at those damned fangs! :scared:

[lenidog]

32. The first time I ever saw a pic I had to look twice because I had never

heard of or seen a deer with fangs. Especially ones that long.

[Mutley]

49. What happened to Bambi?!?

:scared: :hide:

[lenidog]

56. The first picture I ever saw of one had been taken at night in the wild

so you got this deer with fangs and glowing eyes.:scared:

[Mutley]

57. Oh. My. God.

I would have died of a heart attack right there. That thing looks like something prehistoric!

[WilliamPitt]

11. With cock ring and all

[Maddy McCall]

14. Funny you should pop in!

What I really wanted to post was a Moshgirl thread. LOL! Funniest photo thread ever at DU.

Except for this photo:

:evilgrin:

24. Check out this live naked mole rat cam

at the National Zoo. Click on cam on the left and scroll down a bit.

[xmas74]

26. My kid wants one.

Ron Stoppable on the Kim Possible cartoon has a naked mole rat as a pet. She tells me every single day that she wants one and wants to name it Rufus after that cartoon.

[Maddy McCall]

30. Wonder if you can buy one.

I've never seen one in a pet store. You can always shave a hamster and glue in two fake teeth. She'll never know the difference. :evilgrin:

[xmas74]

35. I actually thought about that!

[tavalon]

46. LOL!

Until the hair grows back in!

[lenidog]

33. Disney strikes again

first it was dalmations now its naked mole rats. :P

[xmas74]

36. And she has been told no on both counts.

You forgot about the clown fish too (Finding Nemo). She also wanted one of those for her third birthday.

[lenidog]

38. It could have been worse she could have asked for an african

warthog or meerkat. Though I must admit the meerkats rock!

[xmas74]

39. If she had thought about it she would have.

She's crazy about animals.

[lenidog]

40. That is good she loves animals

I love them too. I always had this weird idea when I was a kid that if I ever won the lottery I would buy a couple thousand acres of land out west and tell the government if they wanted to they could set up a balck footed ferret colony on it. I guess because I had pet ferrets I ended up really liking the black footed ferret which is one of the most endangered animals in America

[xmas74]

41. She loves to watch National Geographic and Animal Planet.

She informed me the other day that she wanted to be a zoologist (I was quite surprised when a four year old actually used that word!). She has decided that she wants to talk to dolphins and chimps.
Of course, she will want to be something else next week.

[lenidog]

42. WOW! That is impressive for a four year old

who knows it might stick with her.

[xmas74]

43. It might but she changes her mind all the time.

She hears things and has a great memory for words. You can hear her practice how to pronounce each new word that she hears all the time until she thinks that she said it right.
She really is a smart kid. I guess I have to admit that I must have done something right.

[XemaSab]

52. There are

hairless rats. I've seen them in pet stores.

Rats make terrific pets. You should totally get one for your kid.

[BlondieK143]

45. LMAO!

:rofl:

Just the visual on that sentence makes me laugh. Wouldn't that be an interesting story?? "So I pulled down his boxers and you're never gonna believe it!!!!...."

[FizzFuzz]

48. awww, I love silly animals.

Name one Bobbit, and the other Snippy. :P

[Left Is Write]

51. Wow. That is strange and fascinating.

[GreenPartyVoter]

53. Rufus!!!

[uppityperson]

54. I love naked mole rats, they are so weird.

They remind me of JimmyJeff. But I try to ignore that. They fold their lips behind their teeth and dig through hard soil, can chew through concrete. They are a hive animal with a queen and worker naked mole ratties.

[hyphenate]

55. Poor little guy

He's just so ugly you have to feel sorry for him!
