I just watched a documentary About camels. They are the strangest, most disgusting things! They drool and blow weird rasperries with ugly red floppy baloon organs out of their mouths. Not to mention the whole eating each other thing, but that wasnt mentioned in this documentary, i saw that on youtube.
If you notice any camel docs, check it out. Way weirder than you thought.
They’re not as creepy as fish–fish freak me out. They float there *staring *at you with their evil fish-eyes, and you know they are plotting and planning.
Well, yeah, fish are the model for every freaky monster ever, I agree. But still, you gotta check out camels. WAY weird. Especially for being big mammals…I mean, you expect fish to be weird and creepy. And reptiles. And bugs. But mammals are generally pretty accessible. Not camels. Weird. And, as we know, crabby fuckers. Probably from being so weird. “I feel alienated from my animal order, so fuck off! And here’s some foamy spit in your eye if you don’t think I mean it!”
Wait, do all camels do that? Or just the particularly disgusting ones? It’s not really fair judge an entire species based on the acts of one sicko. You know that if humans could do that, we’d see a few of us doing it. I could fill about 100 posts with some of the disgusting things that I’ve seen humans do here on the streets of NY.
First of all, I am totally there with you on the issue of fish.
I’m tryin’ to get some cultcha, so I’m reading Herotodus. He says that the Persians lead by Cyrus, defeated the famed Lydian cavalry lead by Croesus (as rich as…) at the Battle of Thymbra by putting their pack camels at the head of the charge. The Greek horses said “FUCK NO” and ran away; the Greeks had to dismount in order to fight.
My driver in Cairo had a low speed head-on collision with a camel and his rider. There was more damage to the van than to the camel although the bloody thing squalled like it had been murdered. Tough bastards. To my knowledge no fish were injured.
Adding some camel love. I have been around several nice, friendly camels. Camels like me for some reason. We used to have a bacterain camel at our local zoo named Cashmeir who adored me for some reason- he would come running to me making that loud honking sound. (I used to hang out at the zoo almost every weekend) The keeper allowed me to feed him slices of apple and said he didn’t take up with anyone else like that.
