Womanimal

Watched the "State of the Union" "speech" more for entertainment value than anything else. Glad to see the President isn't abandoning his Orwellian doublespeak, but aside from that I was relieved to see the President limit some more of my Constitutional rights, apparently we can criticize, but not if it is too negative...oh, wait, let me guess, the President will decide and discern if my speech is within bounds. Oh good, I'm so inept at thinking for myself, its good that the President will limit me only to positive speaking about his policies.

But by far the biggest WTF moment was the President limiting human-animal hybrids. What!!?! When did this happen? Are there human-animal hybrids running around?

This got my husband, daughter and I talking. If we could hybridize, what would we do? My husband would like retractable claws, I would like the ability to breathe underwater like a fish, and my daughter would like a monkey tail that she could hang from. As we fantasized about our greatly enhanced lives as human-animal hybrids, we were suddenly very angry that this choice was limited.

I don't think the President really thought this one out. Obviously there would be a huge market to become a maniamal or a womanimal. With my ability to breathe underwater, I promise I would do lots of good deeds, like look for sunken treasure, rescue sailors trapped in submarines, and free dolphins from tuna nets.

I think the President is merely re-acting to the negative stereotypes of human-animal hybrids of the past, like werewolves, or vampires that turn into bats, or that crappy movie on the Science channel- "Mansquito."

Let me know what how you would hybridize and how would you use your new attributes for good?

  • Very entertaining.

    I went to yoga rather than listen to the State of the Union as imagined by that Yahoo. Too depressing.

    Yeah, WTF? Human-animal hybrids. The guy is in la-la land.

    However. If there were such a thing, I would like to have big albatross wings so I could fly to Canada if necessary.

  • Oh, man(imal). So many choices...Extra arms or the ability to fly...I know! I want arm-wings like a pteradactyl added to my torso. That way I'd have both (and could wrap myself up in my own personal cave if I needed any instant "private time".

  • Maybe he had just watch the Isle of Dr Monroe (name?) on TBS and got confused.

    What if we just took up animal traits; like sniffing bums to say hello or picking bugs off each other’s pelts? Hey what we all had pelts! I'd want shiny mink on my back and seal in my front.
