Panning for Internet Gold: The cat ballet edition

August 24, 2012 By Helen Brown

Some people think the internet is nothing but cats, pixels, lasers and unicorns. And those people have some perfectly valid points. But if you’ll take a walk with me, amiable reader, I will show you so, so much more*.

*May contain cats.

Dance, pony, dance

  • Everything’s being done Gangnam Style these days, but those Korean lyrics aren’t always easy to remember.
  • Somewhere, there is a company making Star Wars speeder bikes a reality. Bless their hearts.
  • Hands up if your favourite thing about Star Wars is Boba Fett’s helmet. So lovely. Well, now there are these beautiful design variations on the Fett-hat. All for charity, too.
  • Hitting a sweet spot on the popular culture Venn diagram, it’s a Downton Abbey/Clueless gif mash-up.
  • Some tattoos are objectively amazing.

Lacking that snappy edge? You need the Bill Murray supercut. Watch. Repeat. Watch. Repeat. Watch. Repeat (and so on).

Cry me a donkey

OMG Baby Otters

This prematurely-born donkey can’t support its own weight, so it must wear casts until the bones develop properly. Those casts are pink.

This mightily impressive Dad runs triathlons carrying his daughter, who suffers from Cerebral Palsy.

A poignant reminder to make the most of your mates.

Sometimes, you just have to cry it out. Even after a feel-good movie.

Obligatory fluff

  • Chicks in hats – even better than that sounds.
  • Dog-shaming. Because how else are they going to learn?
  • Through the combined miracles of internet and magic, you can now pet internet-celeb-cat Maru.
  • This Chinchilla’s gradual progress is mesmerizing.
  • Guinea pigs are adorable, right? Not so much these Etsy specimens.
  • You saw the 70s cat-based ballet, of course. If not, you’re missing the best reason for the internet’s existence.
  • The world of pet magazines is, uh, quite unlike the world that the rest of us know.

Insert annoyed grunt

  • They said it was merely myth, but no. Pictures of Morrissey smiling.
  • Winning at the competitive sport of puberty.
  • The best call to a football phone-in, ever. “I wanted a bow tie.”
  • There’s something profound about the sight of 2.5 million litres of water. Witness the world’s deepest swimming pool.

Dan Castellaneta explains the evolution of Homer Simpson’s “D’oh!”:
