A few things have caused me to be a little less than happy lately, but the circumstance leading to this picture is most certainly not one of those things.
If you are familiar with the roads near the town of Penetanguishene, Ontario, the above image may not appear to be as out-of-place as it was to me.
En route to Andrea’s cottage, we passed this unusual setup of faded stuffed animals affixed to various sizes of bicycles in single file.
But this wasn’t the original setup, according to Andrea’s friend Anna. Last time, she said, the stuffed animals were placed behind desks as if in school. (Presumably learning how to ride a bike.)
On the drive home from the cottage, we unanimously voted on stopping by the setup to take photos. Anna gladly played along and snapped one of me running from bears that were no doubt gaining on me.
Of course, “not stopping to take silly pictures and continuing on our merry way” was another option.
But where’s the fun in that?

Cute Animals Being Cute of the Day: Cutest wittle panda has the cutest wittle predicament after climbing the cutest wittle tree.

[ratsoff.]

Uh, I’m just going to come out and say that this video gave me a major cutegasm. Excuse me while I watch it over and over…and over…

I was about to remark how much time has passed since anything barf-inducingly cute has been posted here. Then, with glee, I reminded myself about the recently shared video of the orangutan and the hound and realized the cute quotient needed to be upped.
This photo ought to fix that. I feel better now. (via cavaz)

This image is filled with so many of my favourite things, it’s a wonder that it wasn’t created for the sole purpose of making me happy. (via jellybombz)

These panda cubs are bowling me over with the cute. Cute will always find a way and will always have its place. (via maluna)

I know it’s completely irrational to want a clumsy panda cub, but I refuse to listen to reason when I’m dangerously close to exploding from the cuteness. (via maluna)

I am overwhelmed with the most ridiculous sense of glee when I see animals oozing personality—particularly if they’re cute, especially if they’re bears and most especially if they’re pandas. (via maluna)

Broadcast journalism at its finest.

I was convinced this was a fake story, but no. No, my friend Pete directed me to the official Fox 8 website where he proved that, yes, yes, it was a real story that actually ran.

Thank you to the constantly upstanding folks at Fox for showing me where their journalistic values lie. I’ll never look at cardboard cutouts the same way again.
