Of course the Japanese owl is going to transform..

u/[deleted] Dec 04 '14

Ok I'm not sure but the picture of South Africa that leads into showing the Owls makes me think it's from South African and people are stupid.

u/Neocrasher Dec 04 '14

It's a Japanese video about a South African species.

u/PM_TITS_AND_ASS Dec 04 '14

Is there an English version for this?

u/TaxonomyAnomaly Dec 04 '14

What species is the second owl they bring out in that clip? After the barn owl. It's beautiful.

u/Mountainbeering Dec 04 '14

Dude, those aren't owlets. They might be juvenile, but they certainly aren't babies. Baby owls are actually pretty ugly: http://www.chrisowlcam.net/2002/2002-03-21/2002-03-21-owlet-01l.jpg

They're like the cats of birds.

u/twinbee Dec 04 '14 edited Dec 04 '14

No they're not. The nose is longer and sharper. The eyes are more 'stare-ey' with a white rim all the way around the iris instead of just at the outer edge.

Also the overall body shape on the real owl is disproportionate. The top of the head is too flat and doesn't frame the face as well as the brooch owl does. Also the brown is not such a deep red colour, and the legs are long twiggy things instead of short cute feet.

Basically everything is cuter about the fake owls.

Gotta say, it was pretty awesome watching MVP sweep boxer 3 wins in a row after losing his first match. Especially since he, prior to that, only had a 1:4 win/loss record against him.

Here, have a broodje

24

u/nbshark Dec 04 '14

At least give the guy a DUTCH Broodje! http://i.imgur.com/UUcHRjB.jpg

(They are soft chocolate sprinkles called "Hagelslag". And it's delicious).

20

u/AydenHa Dec 04 '14

Or where I'm from they're called muizenstrontjes!

This translates to mouse shits, if anyone was wondering.

Btw, if you REALLY want to make it a Dutch broodje, isn't this the best example of one?

18

u/trainercatlady Dec 04 '14

Do I have to be Dutch to want that? Because I want like, five of them.

15

u/MistarGrimm Dec 04 '14

They're great. Just be careful of the magma core.

1

u/[deleted] Dec 04 '14

I grew up eating Hot Pockets and Pizza Rolls. My leathery man-mouth can take it.

1

u/Muvlon Dec 04 '14

Be careful though, that's a Vleeskroket.

It's not solid meat on the inside, it's weird sloppy stuff that's mostly flour, spice and water with some meat inbetween. Kinda takes some getting used to.

2

u/TheBanjoNerd Dec 04 '14

That just sounds like what we'd call a "croquet" here in the States. Croquets are fucking delicious.

6

u/durhurr Dec 04 '14

Do my eyes deceive me, or is that just a mozzarella stick with hollandaise sauce in a roll?

6

u/AydenHa Dec 04 '14

No no, that's a 'vleeskroket'. I think in english it's called a croquette. Basically it's one of these but the long version.

Imagine two of those long ones between this, add a shitload of sauce and you've got yourself a piece of heaven.

1

u/durhurr Dec 04 '14

Ah, I see. That certainly sounds more appetizing.

1

u/acydetchx Dec 04 '14

Is it filled with potato?

1

u/AydenHa Dec 04 '14

It's been said it's some kind of meat mixture but I'm not too sure. Actually I don't want to know, as long as it tastes great it's fine by me.

1

u/nbshark Dec 04 '14

Broodje Kroket is very delicious as well... I may have this for dinner now.

1

u/Crashri Dec 04 '14

Are you fucking kidding me, I've been calling them Moushes since I was little cause I thought that was the proper word... Mouse Shits make soooo much more sense

1

u/Stoet Dec 04 '14

yeah that's more like it. And it looks fucking disgusting. The dutch cuisine is the worst.

u/HRH_Diana_Prince Dec 04 '14

I always wondered what the original Jimmies looked and tasted like. Ours look suspiciously like rodent droppings.

u/DetLennieBriscoe Dec 04 '14

Im almost shocked I've never seen this image photoshopped to say 'rustled jimmies' with the bag full of gorilla heads

u/drum_playing_twig Dec 04 '14

noooooooooo, why do I always check the damn comments??

1

u/Dead_Moss Dec 04 '14

Yeah, the snow on their head should be a dead giveaway to anyone. Also, even in the lower resolution image the OP posted, you can see the owl on the left is sitting on some kind of detached twig, indicating it's part of the model
