I Just Love That It's Called The "Mongolian Death Worm"

Thursday, September 18, 2008 - 12:53 AM

This is the kind of ridiculous pseudo-story that's fun to link to...if for no other reason than to talk about good name-construction. Specifically, what I'll call the Cryptozoological Name-Construction System.

Basically, it breaks down like this: (Semi-Remote Nation or Region) + (Seemingly Harmless Animal) + (The Word "Fanged" or "Blood" or "Man-Killer" or "Deathmonger").

Feel free to try it at home:

- "The North-Bolivian Fanged Rabbit"

- "The Lithuanian Blood Parrot"

- "The Nova Scotian Deathmonger Goose"

- "The Welsh Hooked-Claw Badger"

...feel free to submit your own, below! But be forewarned: You'll be hard-pressed to beat "The Lithuanian Blood Parrot". I'm proud of that one.

I'm behind on putting the photos up from the Pugs Book-Launch Party, but I wanted to take a sec to thank all those who came out and showed their support: Thanks to you, we ended up giving $150 to SPCA Los Angeles, which was great!
