Today’s post is inspired by that whole Ryan Gosling “Hey girl” thing (if you don’t know what I’m talking about, you should stop whatever you’re doing and check it out – I’ll wait). It’s not the first time Mr. Gosling has made an appearance on this blog, and I’m sure it won’t be the last. I mean, the man’s dog has an adorable mohawk, AND he shares his name with adorably tiny feathered creatures.
(Before we dive in, I also wanted to encourage you to visit Grouchy Puppy – I did a guest post that will be featured there today!)
- Your weekly pun: Goose Newton.
- Wondering why I’ve got “Hey girl” on the brain? I blame this absolutely hilarious mash-up of Beauty and the Beast and that Honeybadger guy. It’s possible I like this version better than the original.
- Apparently this goose would like to challenge the idea that dog is man’s best friend.
- This duck would like to help him in that quest.
- All goslings (except for Ryan) one day grow up to be geese. This video beautifully captures that process.
- Speaking of birds, anyone familiar with Portlandia and that whole hilarious “Put a bird on it” thing? Whatever your answer, I recommend you head over to The Bloggess. You’ll be happy you did.
- Related: maybe Portlandia was wrong and you should put a cat on it instead?
- Now that we’re on the topic of cats, I just discovered this video that seems to be the perfect follow-up to Monday’s Office Space cat. Apparently curiosity about the fax machine will land the cat a rocking office job. (Bonus: cats wearing ties!)
I found today’s video strangely hypnotic:
Is it the music? I don’t know, but I would be lying if I said I didn’t watch it several times. Bird is the word, after all.
You know what else I’ll be watching several times? The return of Pop-Up Video. There should really just be a channel constantly playing Pop-Up Video. Are you listening, Vh1?
We like birds!
Well I can't say I'm quite as fond of geese as you are. But that's because in my town, they have it out for the dogs.
About once every six months someone writes a tirade in the newspaper about all the dog poop in the park at the lake's edge when it's really goose poop. Dog's aren't even allowed in that park.
I think it's a plot.
Pop Up Video is coming back? Seriously? I am so excited, this news totally made my day! I remember so many days spent hanging out in my basement with my sister, giggling over the genius that was. Hopefully they will run it up here in Canada! Cannot wait. 😛
I think I prefer ducks to geese, honestly. I was chased by so many when I used to help out at my grandfather's farm. They are just not all that nice. I still have nightmares.
I loved the video, they must be going to the door buster sale at Pennys!
And her I thought I was the only one who said"Bird is the word!"
Love the video!
Holy Woof! Wait a minute. We can't even focus until we clarify something: POP UP VIDEO IS BACK ON THE AIR?!?! *insert swoony happy music here* They had better bring this to Canada PDQ.
now, back to blogging. This whole Portlandia bird bag thing has been cracking us up! I ordered a *do not* put a bird on it bag and when Zazzle pulled that, I choose myself a mini-Beyonce so that our family can enjoy passive-aggressive chicken notes.
Pamela – Bella licked a goose once. Unrelated to the plot you mentioned, but I wanted to share.
Kristine – in high school, I loved ducks for some reason. Still kind of do. 🙂
Koly – I have a mini-Beyonce too!
I would *love* to see the new Pop-up Video but that MTV content is BANNED to non-USA users 🙁 BOOOOO I loved that show.
That Goose video reminds me of where I live. There are Geese *everywhere* I can't even walk the dogs without stepping in Goose poo.
I have a wild turkey mama with seven near-grown turkey babies (apparently called poults – just looked it up) running around the vicinity of my yard daily. They are hilarious to watch and would totally rock that video. 🙂
I saw the Pop-up Video press release a little while ago. (And not at surprised that you are a fan.) I could not get enough of that show back in the day. 🙂
Karen – How lame! They totally need to bring Pop-Up Video your way.
Elizabeth – Poults, huh? I kind of love the name!
