You say aye aye, I say grand ma. Honestly that thing looks like a cast member from the Golden Girls.
-
The blobfish looks like a melted Ziggy
-
Aye Ayes always remind me of the Fiery guys from Labyrinth. (Although they tend to have a look of terror in their eyes instead of looking like they're about to burst into song)
-
Good God, I love this planet. Screw Pandora.
-
What if you opened up a big tupperware in your fridge at night and an Aye Aye looked up out of it at you and hissed. Instant death right there.
-
Baskin Robbins shark. (Just make sure to stop licking in plenty of time to make your getaway. They're not very dangerous but it never hurts to be careful…)
-
BaskinG shark (unless you're from down south and want to say “Baskin' shark”, but in that case, you're still missing an apostrophe)
-
*Basking.
-
Wow! I've never even seen/heard of the Baskin shark…I think!? AMAZEBALLS! :D
