Really funny and creative, Liz. Kudos.

How about Kim Kar and the Bactrian camel. They both have two huge lady humps.

hahaaha slender chub!

How about Courtney Love and the Tasmanian Devil. Both emit loud disturbing screeches and both live off of dead things.

love the slender chub because you really CAN be both at the same time.

The slender chub is great...it gets my giggle award for the day!

One would think Keven Federline could lend his cred to the plight of the snail darter.

Tom Cruise and the hairy eared dwarf lemur.

that'll teach me... come in here to make a coutney love joke and it's already been done better... jeez...

I'm going to take a stand on behalf of wild asses everywhere, not to mention domestic asses. They've asked me to convey that they've had it up to the tips of their furry ears with the comparison to every sort of human detritus. Cease and desist, or they'll be retaining an Ass Lawyer and kicking your, umm, heinie to the curb.

Kisses from e, owner of an adorable domestic equus assinus.

I don't think Mary-Kate and the ferret resemble each other at all. The ferret's adorable.

Don't forget the Celebritology Coalition to Save the Ponies (or at least provide each member with a pony).

how about a celebrities who look like ponies post...i'll start it out with the obvious ones...sarah jessica parker and carly simon. both talented and all, but c'mon, a little horsey.

Celebs Who Look Like Ponies. What an unfortunate title to be saddled with.

I'd hate to win, place OR show in that competition.

Some celebs might be driven a little buggy. Others will get sulky.

...and so on, and so forth...

ponies for all!

These remind me of the Vytorin commercials on TV, where people are dressed to resemble food dishes. Liz, you could do that with celebs, too!

it's carly simon by a nose.

Bulbul = rosie o'donnell

"These remind me of the Vytorin commercials on TV, where people are dressed to resemble food dishes. Liz, you could do that with celebs, too!"

Those are the BEST. I will stop what I'm doing to look up at the TV when I hear that guy's voice...

Oh, on another forum that's probably 90% male (firefighters), there's an "answer the next question" post going since August 2005 and I almost spit out my coffee this morning when someone posted:

Q: What do you want for Christmas? (besides a pony....)

We're not the only ones on the pony quest!

(After a longish preamble, this will be pony-related, I promise.)

Matthew Diffee is a cartoonist whose work appears in the New Yorker. He has two volumes of cartoons ("The Rejection Collection" volumes 1 & 2) by him and his colleagues which were for various reasons rejected by the magazine.

One features a man talking to a woman:

"You say 'sex pervert', I say 'horse enthusiast'."

I had no idea there was a celebritology quest for ponies. I am so excited! How can I join?!

On a side note, has anyone read Teresa Wiltz' article in the Style section on the cruelty of blogs, specifically celebrity blogs? I think we're pretty tame (some of the vitriol in the "On Balance" posts gets sca-ry!) but Wiltz' essay is something I'm sure we would all have an opinion about. Possible Friday post/discussion, Liz?

Hahahaha! Horse enthusiast... (snort, giggle..)

The New Yorker published one that was a lion family sitting in a restaurant, Mama Lion, Daddy Lion and Little Guy Lion, and they are all looking at menus. The caption is the Little Guy Lion asking "Can I have a pony?"

This is for all you commenters:

by the way, i forgot my name on the pony post calling sjp & carly simon horsey.(honestly one of my fave singer/songwriters...yes i'm old). i don't want to be one of those people who won't stand by their catty comments with a pseudonym!

seriously, about the ponies...i want a palomino one. i've already got the boots and riding crop.
oh yes, hahaha 'horse enthusiast'...nicely done. tally ho!

e, that's just mean. Next I bet you'll be telling us there's no Santa Claus.

Does e have the final say on this?

If not, sign me up for a pony. It's not a stallion but heck I'd take one they're being distributed.

I always thought Hilary Swank was a little on the horsey side. It might just be the teeth. Also, Hillary Duff when she got super-skinny. Also because of the teeth.

good call on hilary swank, asinmoco. the teeth play a definite role in her equinability.

who is e to dash the hopes of pony-lovers everywhere.

i don't think britney should have a pony, thought. she would probably feed it tacos.

If we're dragging Hillary Swank into this, then Nancy Kerrigan comes to mind...

I don't get this post at all.

David Schwimmer perhaps (?)
