25/365 Fat and Frisky Seeks Same...

... for bold and stripey fun and a little bit of straight arming.

It's been a long time and I have some major work to do if I'm going to catch up on my 365 posts in 365 days. I must confess that I haven't been taking a picture every day either. I'd appreciate it if you could just pretend that all photos were taken on separate days.

This photo is from the Mals and The Faths visit way back when in March. Quite a while ago now. The Who was getting down and dirty with his favouritist toy in the world, Diabeetus Mouse, who is a little hard to see in this picture, partially because he is so small and partially because of his superior camouflage skills. Or, as I'm told the kids on the street are saying at the moment, he has great camouflage 'skillage'. 

Let us now all straight arm in unison (see instructions below) as a sign of support for The Who.

Straight arming

Yes Grant and Gillsy, you know what it's all about. Here are the instructions for the rest of you:

1. Extend both arms straight in front of you at a 45 degree angle, palms facing each other.
   
2. Turn your hands at a 45 degree angle also.
   
3. Move your hands close together (although not touching) as though you were holding a light object.
   
4. Retract your head and focus your eyes intently on the imagined object in your hands. Dilate your pupils if possible.
   
5. Now move your hands rapidly up and down. If you're feeling particularly dextrous, do this in a slightly circular motion, as though you were juggling the aforementioned light object.
   
6. Remember, the less coordinated you look, the better your straight-arming performance will be.

The lazypatch duvet suit ad

As jwood299 writes: Is this for serious? Grant and I thought this was a joke ad. That said, I think it's supposed to be funny because the actual website is a bit a laugh. At first I just looked it up to amuse colleagues but the more I look at it and the more people I show it to, the more of a good idea it seems. I'd like to point out that you get that whole suit for just over AUD100! 

20/365 Mr Feathers

Mr Feathers is the latest addition to The Who-Who's mouse army, joining such other popular mice as Diabeetus Mouse and Raffia Mouse. Mr Feathers came from a pet store and DIY dog wash in Abbotsford. After voyeuristically watching some dogs have baths, Grant and I checked out the kitten toy section and decided that two mice were clearly not enough for a capable hunter like The Who. So we purchased Mr Feathers, who at first was going to be called Many Cheezburgers Mouse. Above, we see Mr Feathers riding home in the Golf, about to meet his new family. The photo really captures his mixture of excitement and nervous apprehension. 

Mr Feathers has become a close second favourite to Diabeetus. To be fair to third favourite, Raffia Mouse, he is half the mouse he used to be, having lost a lot of his raffia, which can only be a sign of good play times that were had.

Those toy mice that feel like they're made with real fur

Maybe they are. Try not to think about it. It's not like mice in the wild have tails made of feathers. Not in Australia anyway.
