You've GOT to be kidding me...

I had the good fortune to run into these guys at work today. My co-worker and I weren't quite sure what we were looking at, at the time; partly because these are so weird looking, but mostly because we have not memorized every possibly reptile and amphibian that may show up on our site. I knew I'd seen them in (and memorized them for) a class I took my first year at SJSU, but I couldn't for the life of me remember the name.

Seriously...these are high ranking among the dumbest looking animals ever.


A snake with fake arms and legs glued to it's sides...you ask? No my friends, that is the California Slender Salamander. I ask you...WTF can they POSSIBLY use those arms and legs for? For crying out loud...to see their "digits" on these pathetic appendages, you need a microscope, A MICROSCOPE!


I think they should just give up the ruse and give in to being a snake...I mean, they already pretend to be one...


...so why not just drop those pathetic things and move on! You can be a 3 inch long snake, go ahead, go for it. You can do it!

That's the face of a bad ass right there...he's saying,"Don't mess with me! I'll fake snake you to death!"

I FEAR NO ONE!!

Some background information for those of you not in "the know".

When I was 4, I went to Disneyland for the very first time.

I got bounced by Tigger and have been TERRIFIED of costumed characters ever since.

This past weekend, I conquered most of that fear.

Look at me!
I'm such a big girl!
NO FEAR IN MY EYES!!!
OK...maybe a little bit of fear...

Look out Tigger!

Next time...

I'M BOUNCING YOUR ORANGE ASS BEEEOTCH!
