Those aren’t bunnies, Annie.

That box of Annie’s Organic Cheddar Bunnies appeared in our kitchen recently and it bothered me. I saw no bunnies, cheesier-tasting or not.
Those are Buzz Puffs.

I like the last one the best. Cat travels into the future and returns at the same instant.

[First .gifs found here. I rotated them and paired ’em up. The other two were from a site that’s NSFW/NSFK, but…

Due to almost-unforseen circumstances, I’m posting this from an annoyingly un-tweaked mouse-less laptop, and I don’t have my bookmarks handy to link to it. My ailing desktop is going in for surgery tomorrow.

[Update: Surgery failed, can’t fix a broken motherboard. You read that right. Not malfunctioning. Broken. I broke it. I broke a motherboard.

Adam’s Electronics swapped me a refurbished model, over and above the quality of service expected. They are beyond the valley of awesome.]

We modified all three animations. We don’t take credit for resizing, only for looping/reversing/stitching and other modifications, and we link to the sources where we found them.

UPS Babe Magnet

Look closely. It’s not a union ride, but it’s entirely awesome. I could extrapolate a buncha snarky puns about boxes and services here, but we try to keep it PG, or at least PG-13, and neither one of those ratings mean anything, at least not in the world of Babe Magnets.

Wish I’d thought of that. Of course around here, you’d need a business license, a permit to perform in public, a Conditional Use Permit, construction permits, an occupancy permit, a permit for signage, proof of $1M in liability insurance and an ID number for tax purposes.  Oh, and a toilet room. All that just to make a little pocket change and entertain some people.
