– – Lizardman, aka Erik Sprague, walks the walk of physical transformation into his species; he’s got implants in his head, a forked tongue and fangs, and has had his body inked about 70% green, representing about 700 hours of tattoo work!
Despite his startling appearance, Erik is intelligent and highly personable, and is soon to have a wax likeness of himself displayed at Orlando’s Ripley’s Believe It Or Not! museum. More figures of Lizardman may be made for other Ripley’s museums in the future.
Erik has been transforming himself for ten years, and in addition to multiple appearances on television and sideshow performances, he does stand-up comedy and plays in a metal band called (–what else) Lizard Skynard.
He’s remarkable and one of the few so extensively transformed, but I think I’ll be sticking to a few tattoos, thank you!

– -Uh–oh!–The previous post has gotten me going again on Catwoman, and I’m afraid you’ll just have to ride it out with me…
Catwoman really has the complete package; she’s furry, female, and feline with just the right touch of sado-masochism going on. As the folks at Toyota might say, who could ask for anything more?
In the cult of Catwoman, I might be considered a zealot; I’d go door-to-door for her! In fact, I think a National Catwoman Day might be a good idea as kind of a fusion of Halloween, religion, and furry awareness. Besides, who couldn’t use another day off, especially for such a worthy cause?
Catwoman also has an approach-avoidance thing going on; she’s dark, and we wouldn’t have her any other way! You know that Catwoman would take you to heaven before she sends you to hell…
…and I know it’s all a fantasy. Catwoman belongs to Batman, after all. –But a fox can dream, can’t he? 😉

– – Yes, that’s right…another post on the same topic, something without precedent in the annals of Foxsylvania! Some say that he’s cuter than the Geico gecko, but you can’t compare apples and oranges, and appearance is subjective, anyways! At any rate, Maxwell the Pig has taken on a life of his own, and appears at home both everywhere and nowhere, a surreal porker for the 21st century. Both lovable and annoying, he’s just being himself! With a literary tradition going back to the 1728 nursery rhyme (“The Nurse’s Song”), this little piggy is as old as the 18th century but as fresh as tomorrow!
Maxwell knows that life is too important a matter to be taken seriously. He has a childlike quality and exuberance that would brighten the psyches of the worst “namby pamby jackwagons.” The endless squealing is meaningless, yet somehow manages to say it all…that embracing life with a pinwheel in each hand while leaning out of the window and shrieking with delight is perhaps the best of all ways to handle it!
The name “Maxwell” is of English/Scottish/Welsh origins, and means “major well.” This well is one we all could benefit from drinking from…

– – It’s a twisted world after all, and Geico has the perfect commercial to commemorate this fact; called “Piggy,” it puts a twist on the old nursery rhyme about the little piggy who cried “Wee! Wee! Wee! all the way home.”
Leaning out of a back window of an SUV, this little piggy does just that, much to the chagrin of an annoyed and weary mother and her son. He even holds two pinwheels out of the window as he does it! Not to worry, though…the piggy’s wearing his seatbelt! When this ultimate annoying rider makes it home, he declares “Oh, cool!,” and thanks his ride. Viewable on YouTube and many other sites, and well worth a look…
By the way, the pig’s name is “Maxwell,” and the long-suffering driver is “Mrs. A”…

– – Seen at the Great British Beer Festival was chicken hat man, who does not appear to be enjoying himself. We can only speculate why this gentleman appears grumpy; is it because he thought he was going to a costume party?- -Did someone diss his hat?- -Is it part of the English tradition of keeping a stiff upper lip?- -Is he an undercover agent for PETA offering a visual commentary on the sad fate of poultry?- -Is he disaffected because all of the fox costumes were rented?
Who are we to judge?- – And some things, no doubt, we are better off not knowing…

– –When the Revolution Comes,
I’ll go on a different kind of fox hunt,
And roam through the woods with automatic weapons,
Their chatter echoing in the still morning air.
I’ll track down a human hunter,
And tell him I need his skin for my jacket.
I’ll drag him along the forest bed, terrified.
And when he thinks that his doom is certain,
I’ll let him go…
Because I only want to make a point,
And turnabout is fair play… 😉

– – An image macro and one of a number of Advice Dog variations, Philosoraptor originated on 4chan with the image starting out as a T-shirt design on Lonelydinosaur.com. Philosoraptor challenges the reader with his deep, existential, and Paleolithic questions…in my book, he’s far cooler than Advice Dog!
The Urban Dictionary defines Philosoraptor as one who engages in aggressive moral or ethical debate tactics…you are alive (for the moment) when the Philosoraptor engages you in Socratic dialogue, so try to show a little respect or he will open your mind using eighty razor sharp teeth and two 4-inch sickle claws…

– – It’s still hard for me to believe that John Candy is dead, taken way too young of a heart attack in 1994 at only 43 years of age. John created many memorable characters, but as a furry I love him most for his creation of the half-man, half-dog (or Mawg, also seen as Mog) Barfolomew in the 1987 Mel Brooks movie Spaceballs, an obvious parody of Star Wars and Barf a cheaper version of Chewbacca. The film did modestly at the box office, being issued as it was ten years after the movie it parodied. Brooks’ blend of slapstick and genre parody was getting old even in 1987, but the film remains funny and a cult classic.
Memorable quote: “It’s not that we’re afraid, far from it, it’s just that we’ve got this thing about death…It’s not us!” Who better to be his own best friend than this marvelous John Candy creation?– –RIP, John, and thank you…

– – Now this is disturbing, not that the Burger King isn’t; food which fights back as people attempt to eat it! The new Grey’s campaign for Tums features furious and funny food fights (– -Holy alliteration, Batman!) that are tamed only by the fast-acting antacid! Talk about food coming back on you…
There are three spots, in one of which a spicy chicken wing whacks its would-be consumer repeatedly across the face, complete with kung fu movie sound effects! The guy winds up with his face liberally decorated with barbecue sauce…PETA would love this! Another spot features tacos of terror…(of course, tacos and other foods have been known to come back for another round the next day!)
Tums, not surprisingly, takes the fight out of the pugilistic entrees. (–Imagine a classic martial arts film on G4 or the like in which Bruce Lee enters a Kentucky Fried Chicken and challenges to take on any poultry wing in the place!- -Or perhaps, Night of the Living Dead Shrimp!) This does, however, add new meaning to the warning to watch what you eat…be afraid, be very afraid! 😉
