Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Oh, and did y'all know that Girl Meets World (yes, that World, and it's their Girl) has been picked up for a full season by Disney? We all old, man.

And, shit, I wore the wrong outfit for a lidocaine patch, plus I forgot my pocket knife. This will be interesting.

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

I refuse to believe in the pink fairy armadillo since the caption didn't say where they exist. Also... deer shouldn't have fangs.

The pink fairy armadillo got a mention in the first season of QI. Stephen Fry asked for the difference between a pink fairy and a green fairy (substantial).

Deer, originally, didn't have antlers; the fanged deer are closer to their basal form.

The raccoon dog, incidentally, has large litters (up to 15 or so), which is a problem as (unusually for canids) they can't regurgitate. Once the pups are on solids, everything needs to be carried back to them in mouth-sized portions. Due to the demanding job of parenting, they're monogamous and the male is an active parent.

They can't drag the whole beast home and portion it out there?

Some Designer you are, God.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

I've been waiting for William to weigh in on those animals he'd surely heard of!

They don't go around killing beasties much bigger than they can fit in their mouth anyway. Grouse and waterfowl is about as big as they go. They're not pack animals, and their canines are pretty unimpressive. (Plant matter forms a large part of their diet, more than most dogs.)

I seriously thought the tanuki was a creature from Japanese mythology, not a real world animal.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Holy crap, every one I work with is being irritating today. Insanely irritating.

I am so glad I'm a human.

Me too! Isn't there one in Discount Armageddon/Midnight Blue-Light Special? The bartender? (Paging P-C!)

Veggies, good for you, with the vitamin C and whatnot. Calcium, good for your bones and teeth and whatnot. Sounds like a good lunch to me! (My dinner Saturday night was 2 margaritas, so maybe don't take nutrition advice from me.)
