Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe

I think the London Olympics mascots are kind of cute

I don't think they're ugly. I just think . . . really London? With all that history, you represent your city with a couple of plush cyclopes.

I really hope the Queen choked a bitch. Er, specifically, someone responsible for these things, and before you say it, I'm fairly sure they're the result of some hungover person who realized 2 minutes before deadline that today was the day the mascot sketches had to be turned in, and doodled something from one of their recent acid trips. It HAS to be.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Whoa! I don't even know how to react to that.

Yeah. The new artificial life could be considered a new species. Weird.

The big question: Can we generate a new race of super-humans in time to fight off Skynet?

That just sounds like a nutria type of situation to me.

Yeah. The new artificial life could be considered a new species. Weird.

We could create a race of small, cuddly cyclopes.

Damn, Billy Dee Williams is 73? (Also, that's one hell of a scarf he's got there.)

And Harrison Ford is my dad's age. I feel vaguely gross for finding him hot.

Gah! Clicked on link. Tep, I think yours is the only reasonable explanation.

So from what I understand, they took an existing bacteria cell and completely replaced its DNA with synthetic stuff the scientists created. So not exactly life from scratch... but still quite impressive.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

Have you seen the other Olympic mascots? Always hokey.

Sydney had an echidna! Best Olympics ever!

Has the naked mole rat ever been the mascot of a sporting event?
