even the ones that have opposable thumbs are too busy licking their arses and therefore couldn’t even pose a challenge in a multiplayer match of Halo 3 let alone face the trial of having to pick up my 360 controller….except for maybe that Cow I lost against….mainly because I mistook his udder for one of those gamer recliner chairs….at least I hope it was his udder,anyway. I can never tell.

I’d better think of another one, requiring an apostrophe be added to the original sentence is probably against the rules.

they’re more aerodynamic but not as much as to lend my support to these, admittedly cute new gypsy powered mountable ATAT’s/rat hybrids emperor Boris Johnson hopes to roll out across London to ease congestion instead of bendy buses:

The best thing is that it comes with a wireless controller so now anyone can take control of one of these babies, just tap the necessary buttons in the QTE sequence that follows and watch the ensuing terrified grimace of the on duty parking warden as he tries to escape your ATAT as it hurtles through Clapham Junction after him because of a ticket he dared to slap you with. Double yella’ line my arse!!!

thankfully Russell Brand still hasn’t evolved through natural selection enough to come under the “animal” catagory (not even in the humour stakes!).
at least they’re suitably potty trained.
at least your pissed off pouch will still fetch the paper for you unlike a sore gamer who’ll just do the animal equivalent of shitting on the paper by booting you out of a game and removing you from their friends list.
animals don’t force their dodgy digital distribution system’s form of currency on you. If they did though you can imagine what in the way of conversations they would have, “That’ll be the princely sum of 1,000,000 to pay in MS points there sir for having your way with my bitch of a wife”.
animals don’t have dodgy electoral processes they get an erection and do things by piecemeal negotiation with the dissatisfied party after
I’d know who would win hands down in a contest to find out who has the biggest pair of gums between an adult male great white shark and mouthy english television personality Janet Street Porter…..In any case theres only one way to find. out…..FIGHT!
