This is a chinchilla. It is small, grey, and friendly. graeae is giving me one, which was the brilliant plan I mentioned the other day. I hadn't planned to really mention it further until it turned out that three people had three different ideas on what it should be named. In desperation, I turn to you.

I told apiphile that I wanted to name it Wentz. She scorned this notion because, basically, the Wentz has a suite at the CDC, and it ain't for swine flu. She did point out that cute, fluffy, liable to chew on anything and unable to clean up their own shit made her think of Bert McCracken.

AND SO THE JOKE BEGAN.

Imagine the tweets about McCracken. About putting McCracken back in his cage. About McCracken shitting in his food tray again. About sleeping with McCracken. About, basically, everything that would make everyone on Twitter think that my apartment is Rock Star Prison Camp. (By the way, that should be a reality show. In my apartment.)

Enter graeae, worried because, and I quote, "Normally when you say great ideas, I try to think of something considerably less cute and more psychotic." She voted for Gerard, on the theory that chinchillas sort of basically look like Gerard.

And now I don't know what to call it. I like both McCracken AND Gerard as names, and both work for this joke. (What I really need here is two chinchillas.) So I ask you all.

I may not take your votes under advisement! I may, in fact, do whatever the hell I want! But everyone loves a radio button, so.

GAH. When you get your chinchilla, no matter what you call it, we'll get ridiculous obsessive pet owner pictures Y/Y? Because those things are ADORABLE.

I've been meaning to get a camera, so why not?? GOOD IDEAS TIME.

I'm going to wind up with an entire chinchilla army named after all of bandom, aren't I? I'm not doing Thursdayverse with chinchillas!

[stratospherique.livejournal.com]

But that would be awesome!

A pet is not an excuse to start Fight Club!

For the record I put "Wentz" because a friend of mine made a primarily-bandom card game and I think "Wentz" is the funniest combination of five letters ever.

[channonyarrow.livejournal.com]

As far as pure euphony goes, I like Wentz infinitely better than any other possible name, but I couldn't possibly address Wentz without thinking of Pete, and then I would be skeeved out. But Wentz just seems like a name, more so than Gerard or McCracken. (Bert I don't like; I would be constantly explaining that no, it was not Bert and Ernie.)

EITHER THE FLUFFBALL IS CALLED MCCRACKEN OR I START ASS-WHUPPIN' YOUR FRIENDSLIST. WITH MY PENIS.

[channonyarrow.livejournal.com]

IN THAT CASE I'M CALLING IT WENTZ. WHAT ARE YOU GONNA DO ABOUT THAT, HUH?

[apiphile.livejournal.com]

SPAM YOU WITH PICTURES OF THE WENTZPEEN UNTIL YOU RELENT, MOTHERSHOVELLER.

[channonyarrow.livejournal.com]

*YAWN* SEEN IT.

[apiphile.livejournal.com]

But I will ninja you. You will have peen when you least expect it. You will open your eyes to take in the beauty of the world and BAPPO there will be the Wentzpeen. Peening. Peenily.

[channonyarrow.livejournal.com]

Okay, so unless you can figure out a way to, say, plaster that all over my window, it cannot possibly be worse than the dear friend I have who used to send me horse porn pics. Of course, he was English too; I suspect your whole country of being img bastards.

[apiphile.livejournal.com]

We're sexually repressed weirdos with few outlets for our mounting depravity; WE INVENTED "PERVERT".

And now I want to photoshop the PEEN onto a horse.

[channonyarrow.livejournal.com]

And yet, compared to America, you look like a nation of swingers.

Okay, that's actually disturbing. Please don't.

[jacesan.livejournal.com]

Unicorn style. :D

[apiphile.livejournal.com]

PORNICORN!

[italktomyself.livejournal.com]

I've seen the video where the dude gets killed. I bet HE wasn't English. :-(

[channonyarrow.livejournal.com]

Fortunately (which is a terrible way to say it) that was after my English friend stopped sending me horse porn. Actually, if that's the guy in Enumclaw, WA, I LIVE NEAR THERE, which is ... essentially really fucking creepy, primarily.

Sarah Palin

[channonyarrow.livejournal.com]

I want to actually like it, you realise.

[italktomyself.livejournal.com]

"What's the difference between Sarah Palin's mouth, and her vagina?"

"Only SOME of the things that come out of her mouth are retarded."

You need two. Call them McCracken & Gerard, then post photos of them fighting and cuddling.

[channonyarrow.livejournal.com]

I need two, I entirely agree. I'm hoping that graeae's other chinchilla turns out to be pregnant.

[italktomyself.livejournal.com]

I'd name it: Chinchili Con Queso.

[channonyarrow.livejournal.com]

EPIC WIN.

OM NOM NOM NOM

Good thing they're so cute and cuddly. That would make me VERY hungry.
