christ almighty, that's not a mole, its freddy krueger in animal form!

― hobart paving (hobart paving), Thursday, 11 December 2003 17:15 (twenty-two years ago)

The mole's pretty accurate.

The one exception: panda bears.

Luckily in 30 years there will be no more animals so the problem will be solved.

Your picture of a real life mole is taking forever to download.

The Mole's pretty accurate

Why? Because they're both shrugging?

I got a stuffed anteater for my birthday but the real thing is easily just as cute.

Why is the real anteater wearing a waistcoat?

― Nick Southall (Nick Southall), Thursday, 11 December 2003 17:21 (twenty-two years ago)

It's funny how when toy animals are dressed in clothes, it's always in clothes that no human has EVER been seen wearing.

― Archel (Archel), Thursday, 11 December 2003 17:24 (twenty-two years ago)

But that's logical, animals and human's are different shapes.

― Nick Southall (Nick Southall), Thursday, 11 December 2003 17:26 (twenty-two years ago)

BECAUSE THEY'RE NOT HUMANS! Why would they wear human clothes? They wear animal clothes!

unfair comparison: adult real seal vs. 2 stuffed ickle baby seals, albeit different sizes, innit.

Are you saying real *baby* seals do look like that Mark?

Oh, wait.. these were supposed to be STUFFED animals. Right. Gotcha. Eh-heh.

Why is the real anteater wearing a waistcoat?

it wants to play snooker and it's saying, "right, which one of you bastards nicked my cue?"

wow

no

he

isn't

until now, it all seemed so innocent. clearly, there were subliminal messages that completely passed me by.

hotpants, perhaps? beneath the duffle coat??

― hobart paving (hobart paving), Thursday, 11 December 2003 20:04 (twenty-two years ago)

imagine the confusion if Archel were to have a label attached with the legend "Please look after this bear".

― MarkH (MarkH), Friday, 12 December 2003 08:56 (twenty-two years ago)

I think the mole in the first pic is pretty accurate compared to this more famous mole...
