I have decided to make this thread based of the new book by Michael Savage (I know the majority of you hate him, but that is not the point.) called The Political Zoo. It contains charicatures of political figures who are "pseudoanthropomorphized (Making humans appear to look and act as animals) " as Savage said on his show, based on what he thinks of them politically, along with a page of a mock scientific study of the animal. Now its your turn. You don't have to draw a picture, but you can choose anyone in the forums (It can even be me!) and classify them with your own made up scientific name and give some info on them.

lets start with the classic then: capitalist = big fat walrus with a top hat and monicle.

Uh-oh, CTOAN isn't going to like that. Couldn't you make that, I don't know, a bulldog instead? Or, even more classically - a pig?

who?

I nominate the The UN Abassadorship be the Zoo's first animal. What fun it would be to watch his antics behind bars!

What I meant is a specific person on the forum. For example, me:


Holy Paradise, Conservatis Loudus Emotionus

The Holy Paradise is a loud, emotionally driven creature, who obtains opinions from learning about each side, but then is loud and sometimes rage-like when defending the position it has decided.

Also give feeding info, behaviors, physical appearance(No mating habits please!)

who?

Then make up a bunch of info about him. Anyone can be an animal, anyone can make someone else an animal.

Didn't they play this game in high society back in the 1870s? You'd think it would have lost some charm by now... oh, it did.

His top hat is torn, he's not that kind of fat cat, he's hobo.

And clams are delicious.

Wow. Yet another reason not to like Michael Savage: "pseudoanthropomorphized"? Anthropomorphizing is assigning a nonhuman, whether animal or inanimate object, human traits. Treating your cat like it was a person, etc. etc. "Pseudo" does not reverse the term. It means "fake", not "opposite". "Ananthropomorphizing" or "contraanthropomorphizing" might work, but not what he put. Hmph.

Naw, pigs are cops. Rotten ol' capitalists are monocled walruses, fer sure. Lawyers are big slithery snakes, and judges are owls.

I mean, c'mon.

How can liberals not come off as elitists when their competition comes up with entire books of garbage like this?

Does Michael Savage actually do anything other than political cheerleading?

Dammit, walrus' are well meaning hobos or hippies. Don't make me come over there...

Beat me to it. Seriously.

It's rooted in the 19th and early 20th century. Walrus mustaches were quite prevalent - look at Mr. Monopoly - and mind you, he was already a variant on tried & true cariactures of well-to-do men when the game Monopoly was first made in the 1920s.

Yeah, actually, he also has wonderful stories about his (literal) lap dogs (which are very cute, I understand), some nice recipies for meat-ball sandwiches, interspersed with fun names for things, a quaint sense of nationalism, and at least one genocidal rant each hour.
The man is insane, and his radio show is a paragon of kwality. His books suck, though, as he tends to stay on topic in written format.

Me: Kind of a goofy bird, easily distracted, highly forgetful and rather jumpy. Occasionally falls asleep or runs away for no apparent reason.

Liberals = Duck Billed Platypus, they are all mixed up about what kind of animal they are supposed to be, mammals with fur, water fowl with bills and webbed feet or reptiles who lay eggs, I guess it goes to their attitude that everything is subjective and situational and there are no absolutes.

Conservatives = Slugs, they just slowly move around without significant thought, leaving a trail of slime wherever they go, but melt when you pour salt on them. I guess it goes with their attitude that the truth hurts so bad it must be avoided lest it destroy them.

Communists = Mockingbirds, you put all your labor into the nest, thanks, but I need it for my eggs now, from you according to your abilities, to me according to my needs, you should be happy to give it up and raise my eggs as your own.

Capitalists = Dogs and Pigs (they mutate from Dogs to Pigs as they age), at the younger stage, they have to be crazy, gotta have a real need. Gotta sleep on their toes and when they're on the the street they have to be able to pick out the easy meat with their eyes closed. Then moving in silently, downwind and out of sight they have to strike when the moment is right without out thinking. Then after a while, they will work on points for style, like the the club tie, the firm hand shake, sudden look in the eye and the easy smile. They have to be trusted, by the people that they lie to, so that when they turn their backs on them, they'll get the chance to put the knife in. When they get old though, they're well heeled big wheels, ha ha, charades they are. And when their hands are on their heart They're nearly a good laugh, Almost a joker; with their heads down in the pig bin saying ’keep on digging’ pig stains on their fat chin what do they hope to find, when they're down in the pig mine?

NOTE: Sorry about the last, but it seemed that Roger Waters and David Gilmore had Capitalists completely covered already so I just did my own adaptation of what had already been said in a much better way. Forgive me for taking the words, but recall their spirit as you read them.

Dammit...no, no...let it go, it's just a school mascot, and he didn't say banana slug...just move on...

Your school mascot was a slug? That's just . . . it . . . I really can't think of anything else to say but:
HUHFWAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!

The Zen Slug rules you.

UCSC Banana Slugs, best mascot ever.

Has your mascot been in a Quentin Tarintino movie? (http://www.slugweb.com/slugweb/_images/PulpFiction.jpg)

It's customary when you use nicknames like "savage" in reference to Michael Wiener to style it like this:

Michael "Savage" Wiener

Again, this is not about him, you hate him, okay. This is a parody people. Make up a latin sounding name, give to a person on this forum(I.E. Holy Paradise) and make up crap about the creature, okay?
