Today on the Dairy: Alpacas, cheese and dog butts!

Surfing Alpaca

Dogs have been known to skate, snowboard and surf, but has an alpaca ever been trained to do anything other than look funny? Because let's face it, that's what they were born to do (wool schmool). Domingo Pianezzi must have a really specially connection with his alpaca, Pisco, to get him out on the water, let alone in a life jacket. No doubt hilarity ensued when Pisco got his four feet back onto dry land. He is an alpaca after all.

Steve Jobs Head Cheese Cheese Head

Despite my like for Apple products, I struggle to see Steve Jobs as the God others make him out to be. Sorry, dude. I don't really expect any dramatic progression from consuming your life force. But hey, at least I'm not the one whose head effigy is being encouraged to be eaten by the masses. And while this Steve Jobs head (I can speak for the real one) is made strictly out of cheese, I can't shake the term or thought of "head cheese", which in my house growing up, always involved a lamb's head in a pot on the stove.

Learn to make your own creepy cheese Steve Jobs head here, you sick sick sick person. Guh.

Animal Whisks

Ah, the whisk. A fabulous addition to every kitchen. Embarrassingly enough, I don't have one in my home. Why? I don't know! Do I even need one? Yes! I do. I really do! Why haven't I bought one? I have no idea! Someone pelase help me and send me one of the above (preferably the squirrel).

The Two Tone Silicone Coated Animal Whisks is available in chick, rabbit and squirrel from PopDeluxe for $9.99 each.

Yoshi Scarf

I like Yoshi as much as the next guy, but the last thing I'd do is wrap his freakin' tongue around my neck. Not because it would be gross, I mean, I'm sure it is, but that tongue has the strength of an the anaconda and Ice Cube put together. He is a dinosaur after all. And even if I'm lucky and don't get strangled, there's always the chance he'd pull me in and poop me out. I don't know about you, but I don't want to be an egg.

Check out ShadowsInTheNyte Etsy shop knitting skills since the Yoshi scarf is unfortunately sold out. Well, unfortunately for you. It's probably very fortunate for them.

Boomerang Desk Is Boomeranging Back

French Artist Maurice Calk's Boomerang Desk was released as a limited edition of 35 desks in the late 1960s. Now, 40+ years later, the desk is swinging back into production thanks to Calk's son, Sergio, who has allowed reproduction in honor of his father. How nice. Now if only he could honor his father by sending one my way. Not that Maurice and I were friends or acquaintances. I'm just really great! What? At least I accept that I'll never be able to afford one myself.

Office Planner will take over manufacturing the Boomerang Desk by request of all the rich and fabulous people of the world.

Dog Butt Covers???

So today I was sent this story about these dog butt covers that hang from the tails of the less endowed canines and the more exhibitionist pups. I really thought I could burst into this with my guns blazing, say what had to be said and be done with it. But(t) I'm stuck. Essentially I am writing about dog butt holes and while I knew this day would come, where the world would get so unbelievably absurd that we'd hang rear view mirror charms off our dog's ghastly and radioactive behinds, I really wasn't prepared. Here I am, after years of growing and I still have so much learning to do! Anyway, let's get down to it. The butts, if you will.

Yes, these are real. I mean, they have an Etsy shop at least. Yes, that girl is stoked about her dog's butt. And yes, the sourced site/paper seems equally excited. But no, it's not a good idea... No matter how many times I try to write this next sentence, it comes out dirty, so let's keep it simple. Tagging your dog's butt is ridiculous. Don't you guys have better things to spend your money on? Like heart worm medication? Because if you're that interested in your dog's rump, you might want to get a prescription for yourself.

Check out Rear Gear (guuuuuuuuh!) here and weep. Weep until it doesn't hurt anymore.

Thanks, Jesse?
