ksl.com has a story about a vending machine in Argentina that gives out free chocolate if a human chain can be formed between the machine and a cow statue several feet away.

[link]

Most of the story is about people's hesitance to hold hand with strangers even for goodies. But the first comment amused me:

"I would hold hands with a rabid badger for chocolate."

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

I really want a whale

I linked to a picture of a whale way better than any I could ever draw! And no, I'm not going back for the link.

A stag could be really cool

I started there, but ended up with bison.

Some of these framings I can see, some are beyond me. The penguins are still cracking me up.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

With chocolate!

some are beyond me.

If you don't want her crouching down, the penguin could be standing on a snowbank?

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

ita, your drawings are amazing. I draw like a 6-year-old. It has been a source of embarrassment through my whole life. I have no art skill. at all.

Crouching penguin, hidden badger.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I don't know why I want to go little and yucky, but I vote cockroach and/or rat.

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

I can actually see rat now, with one on the shoulder, nasty little feet in the hair.

Penguins is working with uneven footing, not this crazy, but with some sort of geological formation that snakes across the picture just covered in them and receding into the distance.

Gah, now that there's a serious storm in the Gulf of Mexico, weather.com is going all StormPorn. You can practically see the giddy little weather junkies bouncing in excitement in their HQ.
