Is there anything more defeating than cute bats?
Baby Bat, you are destroying my ability to successfully categorize safe animals and animals that want me to drop whatever I am doing and make sure they are comfortable and happy. You are supposed to be trying to suck my blood or finding your way out of a cave using radio waves or Google maps or whatever. Instead you are like a big-eyed baby deer crossed with a webbed monkey sucking on a pacifier. You're really little, too, aren't you? There's nothing in this picture that I can compare you to, but I get the sense you're something disgusting like a pound and a half. I bet you would fit in my hand and then look up at me and I wouldn't even be able to check to make sure you aren't going to turn into a vampire. Fucking bats. At least they aren't thriving, I mean, who would raise bats in large groups?
Oh shit. Why do I even bother?
I knew the link on "oh shit" was going to be good, but I didn't know it was going to be THAT good! Hahahaha.
ReplyDeleteHow does one get into raising bats? Is there a market for that, Entrepreneur Chick wonders...?
I finally broke down and ordere the book from Anazon. Can't wait for it to arrive!
ReplyDeleteThere's still nothing cute about those bats!
Oh.My. Normally I'd say a big fat yuck to bats, but those? Are cute.
ReplyDeleteTrick or TRICK you stinkin' bats!
ReplyDeleteI'm so happy your back! I'm also happy to have this warning about bats before I go out trick-or-treating this Saturday. Bats, I'm ready for you!
ReplyDeleteHaha oh shit, are you ok?
ReplyDeleteI don't have to show you no stinkin' bats. ;)
ReplyDeleteoh geez. I hate when animals who could possibily really hurt me or suck my blood are ridicolously cute. lol.
ReplyDeleteI love megabats. The Yorkshire Terriers of the sky.
ReplyDeleteBats are truly one of God's great mysteries. They are at once poignant reminders of the veritable variety of things that can jumbled up into one creature, and at the same time, terriffic vectors for rabies and all manner of other terrible things. Still They really don't bother us unless we bother them, and when they do there is Hell to pay for everyone.
ReplyDeleteI am daid from the cute.

ReplyDeleteBaby Bat, you look like Bambi's head was cut and pasted on pure evil. And what's with those big fucking eyes? You're giving the saying "Blind as a Bat" a bad name.
ReplyDeleteOh, and I have no doubts you'll just grow up to be one of these:

Lousy skeksis . . .
Oh.that.bat. Coochy-coochy-coo! Those.bats.in.blankets.
ReplyDeleteSigh. Life was easier while you were "in captivity."
You bother because you have been appointed to warn the rest of us. Those bats in blankets are hard to resist though...damn blanket bats...
ReplyDeleteYes, so glad to have you back!
ReplyDeleteHe's back!!! weeeeeeeeeeeeee!
ReplyDeleteOh shit indeed. That damn one in the middle melted my brain, dammit.
ReplyDeleteNEW. FAVORITE. BLOG.
ReplyDeleteAs the lady said MEGABATS
ReplyDeletedon't suck blood
eat flowers and fruit
better night vision than we have
our relatives - lemurs with wings (take that Am Mus Nat Hist!!)
No sonar, radar or RFID's
If you want to raise them - come to Orstralia.
Oh and where's the other pic (of the girl with the bat bubs?)
That's a friggin blow up bat, I got one of those for my pool last year!
ReplyDeleteI hate the way tiny mammals make me want to rush over to Macy's and blow a bunch of money on onesies and layettes.
ReplyDeleteDamn instincts...
I need a dozen, stat!
ReplyDeletebat schmat: please tell me the penguin who kidnapped you is going to get the chair! Glad you made it out alive.
ReplyDeleteI have no words for this one. And the link took it that extra bit over the top.
ReplyDeleteWow.
Just wow.
i love this blog!!!! damn bats, they are adorable!!!
ReplyDeleteE-fucking-gad. It's little Wednesday, all grown up. I mean, Who the fuck ever even heard of raising fucking bats? Like,EC said, there's a market for bats? How does one even think up such an operation? Where do you even start? "Mom, Dad, I know what I want to do when I get out of school. I'm gonna raise bats. Here, see?" That's when Mom fainted and Dad had his stroke.
ReplyDeleteAnd I have to wonder what happens when that 'special guy' gets to come in for the first time. "...This is the kitchen, oh, and here are my bats." Yeah, that's the place I want to spend the night. If you're gonna have bats hanging around the house, you'd better look like Elvira! Know what I mean?
bat in a snuggie.
ReplyDeleteokay that is all very interesting, funny, and damn it...cute ~ but...who weans them from a bottle to mosquitoes?
ReplyDeleteA bevy of bundled baby bats?!
ReplyDeleteSo wrong. So very wrong.
The baby bats are orphans. They only wrap them up to give them their formula. On youtube you can see lots of mind-screwingly cute footage of fruit bat rescue centres. And bizarrely a man getting frenched by a fruit bat - not on purpose though.
ReplyDeleteLots of people think the bat-rescuers are mad, because it's like rescuing squirrels or kangaroos - they're essentially vermin. But they're such ace animals, and people are sort of verminous.
That little shit head was sucking the boob of a blow up doll and it got stuck in his mouth. I'm on to you and your porno ways baby bat.
ReplyDeletefinally back in form after time off and a few sobbly posts! cute little living stuff stinks!
ReplyDeleteGenius!
ReplyDeleteWelcome back! Hope that little shit penguin hijacker got his.
ReplyDeleteHaha, you alright? At least you got a great post out of it.

"At least they aren't thriving..."
ReplyDeleteTrue enough: White Nose Syndrome is driving several eastern U.S. bat species to near extinction. Google will get you as much info on this mystery as your heart desires.
Just got my copy of the Hardbound-UK version of FUP.
ReplyDeleteI'm scared to start reading it because then I won't stop till I finish it!!
What am I going to do!!!!!!!
Mom, I found this little deer in the woods. Can I keep him?
ReplyDeleteAAHHHHHHH!!! Oh my god! It's got the body of a chicken!?!
Here's the bat with super powers!
ReplyDeleteHERE
Oh sweet Jesus. From left to right: Wrong, Wrong, Wrongedy, Wrong, Wrong. And the smiling lady: Wrongest.
ReplyDeleteI've always wanted a bat since I was a kid (there was a boy scout related magazine that had an article on a kid that was raising bats).
ReplyDeleteFruit bats are absolutely beautiful. Flying foxes. I read Stellaluna to the kids when they were old enough to appreciate it and we all fell in love with the critters. But those fugly sonar-echolocation-weird-nosed-big-eared bat versions are different beasts entirely. Creeepeeee. Pretty neat from an evolutionary viewpoint though, I have to admit.
ReplyDeleteI love megabats. The Yorkshire Terriers of the sky. Work From Home
ReplyDeleteThose blanket bats are lying-ass lying liars. They're all cute and shit. Well, they're all cute and shit.
ReplyDeleteI love him ;-)
ReplyDelete"Oh shit" link doth rule....and these are deeply confusing lil' boogers....I am just all headachy now!
ReplyDeleteuhhhhh....whoa!
ReplyDeleteI'm feeling quite disoriented.
How can one quick link make me re-think any relationship I have ever had with a cute animal OR a blood-sucking parasite?
Yeah, cute now, but he is practically oozing rabies...he climaxes rabies....ewwwww...

I pooped on a bat once.
ReplyDelete;)
ReplyDeletebats are so cool. and to raise bats you can purchase a starter colony from a zoo. as long as you have all the proper paperwork/permits/housing.
ReplyDeletecool bat facts
1. no bats are blind, thats a total myth
2. bats are very clean animals, despite what you hear the chances of getting rabies from a bat is like 1 in 400,000 or something crazy like that.
3. vampire bats can walk!
4. yesterday i pet a bat!
Oh my lord. These are the cutest things ever!
ReplyDeletebig eyes do not equal 'cute'. i see those creepy bat wings. ha
ReplyDelete"These too, are food"
ReplyDeleteBaby flying fox. Up to six foot wingspan when all grown up. Can send him this way
ReplyDeletethats bad for that bat, air in the stomach means bat burps, and THAT is nothing no one wants.
ReplyDeleteI actually found this blog while researching a way to buy and breed giant fruit bats. I am going to breed alot but have atleast two in my home....I will hold and squeeze them and pet them and pat them, and hug them and kiss them and call them George. By the way... this is the best thing online since I found porn in my teens. I love this blog, Fuckin' penguins
ReplyDeleteI raised a baby bay once...disgustingly cute little brown mouse batty, I never did get over it...
ReplyDeleteLMAO!
ReplyDeleteUh oh...Cute OVERLOAD! Someone, anyone...HEEELLLLP!!!
BTW, your commentary is as funny as...well, as a twig-chewing monkey's multi-colored a$$!
