What, no mushroom?

What are those, anyway? Anteaters? Badgers?

If you hover your cursor on the image, you should have your answer...

Whoa. I forgot all about that "Badger Badger Badger" animation.

BTW, is there even any dialogue on that thing? To me it's just a bunch of badgers, then a mushroom, then a snake .. what am I missing?

I dunno. I tune out when i get to the 'badger badger badger' bit. I didn't even know there was a mushroom and a snake.

You are missing, as well as I can hear it:

"Badger badger badger badger badger badger badger badger badger badger badger mushroom mushroom badger badger badger badger badger badger badger badger badger badger badger mushroom mushroom badger badger badger badger badger badger badger badger badger badger badger mushroom mushroom badger badger badger badger badger badger badger badger badger badger badger ah snake ah snake snake snake oh it's a snake"

And from there it repeats.

Heh. Thanks.

Something like badgers - something like lizards - and something like corkscrews.

I had to google this before my head imploded not remembering where this is from.

No doubt that's how it got corkscrewed lizarded badgered into my brain.

That's two moments of t.b nostalgia in the last couple of hours. What is the universe trying to tell me? And should I hide?

Man, i'd totally forgotten about that. I wonder what he's up to.

I don't think that's why gyring and gimballing looks like.

Actually, [livejournal.com profile] hairyears posted it to her journal.

Badger Mushroom Snake sent me into paroxyms of laughter all through my pregnancy, so it's no surprise the kid now sleeps with, yes, a stuffed badger.

I will send this graphic to the husband so he can share it with her because she's all about seeing email.

Now I need to find more sheep. Baa, baa indeed.

Wow. I've never seen more than four at once (or photographed more than 2 at a time).

My gawd those are weird looking badgers. Must be European jobbies, eh? Gorging on earthworms. Yecch!

[identity profile] eejitalmuppet.livejournal.com 2005-09-22 05:58 am (UTC)(link)
Yep, those are European badgers. Probably getting more slugs and beetles than earthworms, unless it has been raining (then again, it is in the UK: of course it's been raining). In a strange piece of adaptation, badgers are extremely fond of neatly mown areas of grass, as they make the invertebrates easier to get at.

When I took a bunch of badger pics in '99, I wasn't above baiting the grass with clear honey, to get them to stay in one spot for a few minutes. The user icon pic, however, was purely opportunistic: I came out of work, the badger was right there, and I had the camera with me.

You didn't comment on my adorable AMERICAN badger!

Our badgers just eat squirrels, stoats and other little mammals. None of this earthworms and beetles and grub nonsense. Proper flesh-slashing, ill-tempered, bad-smellin' badgers. (just making up the smelling thing, but I bet they don't smell good.)

Nice job on the honey. So it's true - you can attract more badgers with honey? (Oh drat. It sounded really funny inside my head. I think it should have stayed there.)

I haven't met your American badger to find out if he is adorable, although he is kinda cute.

European badgers will happily tackle larger prey when the opportunity arises, but most of the time all that chasing around strikes them as too much like hard work (a bit like brown and black bears in that respect).

flesh-slashing, ill-tempered, bad-smellin' badgers

To quote Scott Dorsey, "We don' need no steenkin badgers!"


As for your last point, I'm missing the joke, but with honey, badgers are like the proverbial Earth girls.

"We don' need no steenkin badgers!"

aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaarg.

Then again, this is probably the sort of badger you like:

Yes, I am familiar with the Badger Brewery. If you ever find any of their wares, "Tanglefoot", "Fursty Ferret" and "Golden Glory" are all heartily recommended (hell, even the standard "Badger ale" is good stuff). "Blandford Fly" is very different, but enjoyable if the drinker is in the mood.
