08.18.09 LEPRECHAUN FERRET SAYS WATCH PBS

ferret-leprechaun

I need everyone to remain calm. Today I received an email that changed my life when Warming Glow reader Dan wrote:

About a year ago I saw this documentary on PBS “Ferrets: The Pursuit of Excellence”, and to be honest, it was the greatest hour of my life.

And I believe Dan with every fiber of my being, because the YouTube footage from the documentary below shows ferret enthusiasts at their most spectacularly insane.  Leprechaun Ferret is just the tip of the iceberg; there’s also Vampire Ferret, Hula Ferret, Fairy Ferret, and more.  And Hula Ferret actually has a grass skirt and miniature coconut bras for every set of nipples.  There are tears of joy in my eyes when I watch it.

But wait, THERE’S MORE!!!  Because on this day of bountiful Internet riches, a video of sad ladies dressing up ferrets is NOT ENOUGH.  I also bring you a joyous, magical clip of a woman singing a song about ferrets, and another video in which she talks about how she stores 25 pounds of dead ferrets in her freezer before getting the bargain price for cremating them.  WHO WANTS A FERRETSICLE?

This is available on DVD. My birthday is in three weeks. I’m just sayin’.

It would be much easier to crack the 25 lb. threshold if she didn’t eat so many.

That woman is a lot like a refrigerator. She’s about 6 feet tall, 300 lbs, she’s stuffed with ferrets, and, um…

Saw this on PBS too. It was like Best In Show, but real. But only better, because it was ferrets. I kept waiting for the tell-tale sign of it being a farce. And, sadly … or thankfully for my ego … it was no farce.

This is a red letter day. I have stared in awe at cat massage, Between two ferns, crazy ferret people, and Favrehatred on a scale not seen in at least a year.

Is a ferret just a retarded mongoose?

Alfredo Garcia says:

I particularly enjoyed when she mentioned the “kids moving out” it made me stop the video and ask myself who would fuck that in order for her to have kids!?

I would like to make slow, sweet, languid love to the internet.

If fat ferret botherer’s husband doesn’t contemplate murder on a regular basis, i’ll eat the contents of her freezer.

Nooo…they cut the first video off before she could explain the advantages of having ferrets over human children

I watched this documentary with my boyfriend and we fell in love with ferrets. We laughed our asses off in disbelief at these crazy fucking people, but it has a lot of good solid information about ferrets. I did adopt two ferrets from my local humane society a few weeks after I saw it and I have to say that it was a great decision. They are the most playful and silly animals you will ever meet. They never cease to entertain. I always say they are the perfect combination of a dog and a cat in a small, skinny, and adorable package. You are entitled to your opinion Upstate Underdog, but I know that ferrets are not dirty animals. They do have an odor if you don’t bathe them often, but most things get smelly if they don’t bathe. Most ferrets, including mine, are even litterbox trained. If you haven’t owned a ferret I would say don’t be scared to get one because of the crazy people in this documentary. I thought they were nasty and gross before I got mine, but oh how your opinion changes through experience.

my daughter emailed me this link this morning, what a treat! I finally have had the time to watch it again. How sad/funny at the same time. Sort of like pug picnics with their costumes. Folks in 3rd world countries would ‘love’ this slice of northamerican life/craziness/excess.
