Pachyderms

Pachydermata (meaning 'thick skin') is an obsolete order of mammals at one time recognized by many systematists. Because it is polyphyletic, the order is no longer in use.

That bit's kinda from wikipedia. Pachyderm was used to describe horses, rhino, elephants, hippos etc. It seems weird to me to group horses in with all that but they did. For animals with a thick skin, elephants seem to take offence quite easily.

I was at the zoo one time with my sister when she was really small. We made her wave at the elephants. One elephant swung it's trunk back and forth, we thought it was waving back, it was really just scooping fist sized rock up from the ground to throw at my sisters head. It missed. If anyone ever tells you to stop throwing rocks at elephants, you can tell them I said it's ok. They have thick skins. Unlike human toddlers.

I recommend that you now watch this song about elephants by Evelyn Evelyn., on the youtubes.

No Budget Noah

Noah looks like a pretty big budget affair. Darren Aronofsky and Gladiator and Hermione Granger plus some big waves I hear. This is what it would look like if I made it. One crazy man and his boat. You might not be able to see it there but he has a jam jar with 2 wasps in it. He'll probably release them when he gets attacked by a shark.

Calling in a favour

What happens when you have Vladmir Putin in your debt? What happens when he owes you one favour? I would suspect that you'd get to take a look at Hitler's skull in the Kremlin's vaults or that you could call in an air strike on some childhood bullys. That's not Leroy's style though. He just wants to do an honest days work for an honest days pay. Even if it does mean changing the geopolitical landscape.

Mellow Yellow

Well the Lego movie is out and doing well by all accounts, I've yet to see it but it looks like a lot of fun. Chris Pratt, Will Ferrell, Morgan Freeman, Will Arnett, Charlie Day, Nick Offerman and Elizabeth Banks doing voice work. The animation  looks good too, not too slick. It looks like it was animated by stop motion even though it was computer animated. There's not a lot more to say about a movie I haven't seen so I just hope you enjoy my pee based comic about lego dudes, featuring Benny and Emmet from the movie. If it's yellow, let it mellow.

Ice is Bach

Some facts about Vanilla Ice:
His real name is not Vanilla Ice (shocker) or Matthew Van Winkle. (It's Rob Van Winkle).  He tried to commit suicide with a heroin overdose.  In 1991 he was arrested for threatening a homeless man with a pistol (he had the pistol not the homeless man, he's not crazy)
Some facts about Bach:
He fathered 20 children, pulled a sword on a bassoonist, was jailed for disrespecting the Duke of Weimar and wrote the sheet music for 'Drop it like it's hot'.
So, who's more gangsta? I'll let you decide.
(I may have made one of the facts up)

Hungry Hungry Hunger Games

The hunger games was kinda good. I'll catch the second one on Netflix or something. What would have improved it though would have been some hungry hungry battle hippos like battle cat from masters of the universe. As you can see from the above picture it looks like a lot of fun. I've included a prawn from the movie district 9 because who doesn't want to see one of those guys riding a teal battle hippo? Communists, that's who and I'm sure as he'll not one of those!

Home Alone

Merry Christmas everyone! Home Alone's great isn't it? I mean its terrifyingly violent for a kids move and much more imitate-able than say Call of Duty or something like that. You can't get a hold of explosives or assault rifles that easily but toy cars, string, paint pots, nails? You can create quite the assault course for mummy and daddy when they try and put you to bed. I saw the tail end of Home alone 4 the other day and it was just awful. Instead of just getting a new kid and family and having the same 'kid vs crooks' set up that was the heart of franchise. They felt the need to call the new kid 'Kevin McCallister' even though he looks nothing like him and continue on the story. His parents are split up now and he's staying with his 'Mom' for Christmas. Marv returns for some reason with a female accomplice this time and 'hilarity' ensues in a house twice the size of the mansion from the first movie. Marv is played by Harry from 'Third rock from the sun' (the one with his eyes closed the whole time) and the whole thing plays out like some sort of nightmarish cartoon complete with scooby doo revolving bookcase gag. So if you want to watch some Home Alone when you're home alone this christmas stick to the first 2. Goodnight everyone and remember to drink your ovaltine.

Mohammad

Isn't it weird that Mohammad has the word 'Ham' in it? I thought so even if you didn't. I'm not allowed to tell you if that IS the real Mohammad or not. He could be. Maybe he isn't. If he is then fundamentalists have just cause to butcher me and torch my flesh. If not, then I'm allowed to draw him. What if I did a drawing of him and just drew his clothes because he drank an invisibility potion? It's not a drawing really as you cant see him but I know he's there. wearing those clothes. I'm confused with this whole set up. I'm just going to go draw Moses as that's less hassle.  Enjoy your day.

P.S. If Moses and Mohammad set up a business they could call it Prophets for Profit.

Houdini

Harry Houdini  had a trick where he would take any punch and it wouldn't affect him. Some dudes found him before his show and punched him a load of time before he could tense up ( he agreed to the punching, they didn't ambush him). He carried on with his show that night and then died of a burst appendix. The moral of this tale? If you're not well, don't go to work.  Also no matter what Hagrid from Harry Potter says, you are not a wizard.

Pug Dreams

I have a dog thats not much of a dog. It's the kind of dog that goblins would have if they were real and had dogs. He looks like he's been hit in the face with a shovel and acts like that too. What do Pugs dream of? From the way my dog looks at the TV I reckon he dreams filthy dreams of Rihanna. In his dream world he's an affluent debonair gentlepug who smokes cigarettes with a cigarette holder and wears a smoking jacket. He can pull the ladies in a similar manner to Brian from Family Guy (That dog is always pulling human chicks, whats up with that?). In real life though he's barely a dog.
