The original K-9 unit cruiser.

Any idea where/when that was, and/or if it's been doctored?

Caaarol!!!! Causing trouble again! Watch out everyone, her army is on the attack!

Those are actually geese aren't they?

I can't get a good enough look at the bills, but there is always the possibility of a puddle duck which looks similar to a white goose.

I wasn't familiar with the term, so I've done some googling.  Apparently "puddle duck" can refer to one or more wild species with typical wild-duck coloring (i.e., not white) or to Beatrix Potter's Jemima Puddle Duck, a white domestic duck, apparently an Aylesbury.  And those do kinda look like Aylesburys.  Or geese.  As you say, can't see enough detail.

I can't post photos but check out this slideshow of 10 hilarious cat photobombs!

I showed my dad this video the other day.  He thinks the cat is actually saying "Hey."  I don't know whether to correct him or just let him enjoy it, lol.

 

[Carol the Dabbler]

I used to have a cat who would walk over to the door and say "Out."  Not just "Ow" like any other cat, but a very clear "Out."  So who am I to argue with your dad?

(I suspect he's mistaken, though. )

[Pseudonym]

Don't know if this'll work, never tried posting a video from twitter before...

Shows up on my laptop fine, so fingers crossed. 

[Arcadia]

Yep, it works! Not at all what I was expecting... 

[Pseudonym]

And what, pray tell, were you expecting?

[Arcadia]

Groceries?

[Van Buren Supernova]

Magician cat!

 

Ummm... I overestimated my hunting ability. Little help?

 

We had this discussion before! Duck...?   Carol???

 

 

[Carol the Dabbler]

I think that foreground guy is a goose, or rather a gander.  Would be easier to be sure with a profile view (or with more recent experience!).

[Arcadia]

I don't even want to ask what that means...…  

[Carol the Dabbler]

I wish I knew what part you didn't understand, so I could tease you mercilessly.  But I merely get the impression that you think I'm some kind of pervert, so I shall explain in self-defense:

Ganders (male geese) have a very prominent bump at the top of their beak which is much easier to see from the side.  Also I used to be able to tell ducks and geese apart, but I've gotten a little rusty due to lack of recent practice.

There!

Arcadia, I wondered if she was getting TMI about her sex life too.

A student horse. I'm guessing traffic cones on the head is not just a British student thing?

Guess what guys? IT"S FRIDAY!!! WOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

Or maybe it is... 

Even our statues get in on the action. 

[Carol the Dabbler]

I've never seen it done around here, but then this isn't a college town.  Does it mean anything in particular?

[Pseudonym]

Apart from drunken stupidity, nope. 

[Carol the Dabbler]

Well at least it's easier to remove than rain-soaked toilet paper.

[Pseudonym]

... Wouldn't rain soaked toilet paper just slough off and disintegrate?
