10 Reasons why chinchillas are better than computers (illustrated):
1. Chinchillas are soft and furry.
Look how cute we are!
Computers are not soft and cuddly.
2. Chinchillas won’t lie to you.

Computers. They LIE!
3. Chinchillas don’t need to be literate.
I'm a baby fuzzy pants! I don't need to read or write.
Computers should know how to read and write.
4. When a chinchilla dies, it’s really dead and not just teasing.
= Really Dead.
This happens so often it's not even funny.
5. Chinchillas make great coats.
Computers make bad clothing.
6. You can eat a chinchilla (if you really had to).
7. Chinchillas are much more affordable.
8. Not everyone in the coffee shop will have a chinchilla.
I win!
9. Chinchillas will eat out of your hands.
You are so cute when you eat the corm!
You suck at eating corm.
10. You can’t ever really be mad at a chinchilla.
Not a hard decision. (Unless you're a native German speaker. In which case, the second panel will make zero sense)

Awww too cute! Although sometimes I wish I could skin my computer and wear it for a coat.
It’s just fustration talking.

And sometimes I wish I could roast my computer over a fire. well, i used to wish that anyway. i’ve officially converted to the dark side (ie: an iMac) and I’ve only had a couple minor issues. As opposed to my old PCs which would have serious issue about once a week.

and here i was thinking chinchillas and computers were so similar…. you’ve opened my eyes to a new way of thinking.
This post wins the award for most random and hilarious.

Yes, definitely random. Funny, but random. What was in that coffee?

Oh who knows. I tend to write down ideas for future posts and come back to them later. Which means that I probably wrote down the idea for this post when I’d had 10 cups of coffee and nothing to eat all day, or possibly I woke up mid dream one night and thought it sounded perfect so I wrote it down on a scrap of paper next to the bed. And then it didn’t quite make as much sense in the light of day.
Either way, the real question is “what made me decide to follow through on this particular idea?” That, I can’t really say.

This was brilliant and so funny. Sadly, I am most likely allergic to Chinchillas since I am allergic to way too many small cute furry animals…life is just NOT fair sometimes…sniff

Its so weird that you write this because on Monday my three year old asked for a Chinchilla as a pet. I was like what the hell is that? It much be some Chinese chille or something. Thanks. Your blog was very educational.

That is weird!
I believe chinchillas actually originate from South America, around the Chilean Andes, if I’m not mistaken. Not that it matters. They’re freakin cute regardless!

I’ve been having trouble accessing anything related to sanity this week, so I have chinchillas to thank for bringing me back from the dark side… at least, temporarily. By the way, your snowball art is improving.

I’m not sure if I find this blog so satisfying because it’s so effing hilarious, or because my ex boyfriend founded the “save the wild chinchilla” foundation, and I was filled with a sick yet spiteful revenge-y feeling at the roasting chinchilla picture… Either way, you win! My fav’ post of the day!
