I have barking spiders.

Kewl.

want

Uh yeah, that sounds awesome.

Yeah...not the biggest salamander in North America...

Did anybody else look at this image and think someone was about five seconds from squishing the "rare giant salamander" with a shovel?



/hotlinked, of course

Washington....

atleast we still have plenty of barking salamanders.

Are they good with bacon? Oh wait, bacon is perfect all by itself. mmmmmmm bacon.

crazynickstyle

wtf is that?

Giant salamanders? We're boned:

So they're like mudpuppies but not aquatic. Interesting.

Rare giant salamanders that bark like dogs? In my Washington?
It's more likely than you think.

crazynickstyle

What the hell?

glwtta: Giant salamanders? We're boned:

I love the cover copy on that paperback:

"Here is a great novelist's electrifying story of what might happen to our world tomorrow. With breathtakingly bold vision, Karel Capek gives us a prophetic vision as powerful as 1984, as startling and vivid as Brave New World."

1984. Brave New World... Battle of the F*cking Newts.

Right.

JohnnyRebel88: What the hell?

My guess would be that it's a species of giant Salamander. There are several that can hit six feet long.

It's scary that they would build Newcastle right on top of the old land fill. That salamander was probably born in some mercury laced soil.

/Mutant Salamander?

Yeah, this is pretty much the only good thing about Newcastle. Otherwise it's just a zoo of overpriced McMansions, and I-405 traffic through there is a crapfest.

The picture in crazynickstyle's picture is a Chinese Giant Salamander.

/teh google, they do somethings

It looks delicious.

During the month of October, the city of Newcastle will work with a volunteer group to install storm drain markers across the city with the message "No Dumping, Drains to River".


Now where can I empty my RV's chemical toilet now?

We called them waterdogs in KY. If you hooked one on your line when fishing, you just cut it off. Man those things were ugly.

seveword: Rare giant salamanders that bark like dogs? In my Washington?
It's more likely than you think.

That kinda reminds me, you ever hear the noise a marmot makes? Almost like an owl hooting, but farking LOUD. I've also been in Bellevue and have actually seen a squirrel, sitting on a stump, and howling (that's the best I can describe it.) Weirdest goddamn thing ever.

What is it with this state and noisy animals?

Just go upriver to Cougar Mountain. As a bonus, it's less densely populated, so the odor is less likely to offend.

Are they related to newts?

/ just asking ...

1984. Brave New World... Battle of the F*cking Newts.

Right.

I'd say it's as good a book as 1984, and far better than Brave New World. Just my opinion, of course.

Sentient salamanders might seem lame, but racial supremacy and nationalism were kinda on people's minds in Europe in 1936.

It's a shame that so many people know Orwell and Huxley, yet have never heard of Capek.

A book about sentient salamanders compares to 1984 and Brave New World ... are you high?

That's RACIST!

Gussie Fink-Nottle: newt


NOPE!

/Here in FL the salamanders only get as long as my hand
//I'm jealous

chemical_angel: A book about sentient salamanders compares to 1984 and Brave New World ... are you high?

Oh for fark's sake, it's not about the damn salamanders.

Just because they didn't force-feed it to you in high school, doesn't mean it's not a good book.

nobody has a video of a barking salamander?

What does a "dog found in Washington" sound like?

Voldemort
What does a "dog found in Washington" sound like?

.... a rare giant salamader?

Gussie Fink-Nottle: newt

o4tuna: NOPE!

What a rum looking cove. I take it the gentleman in the photograph a newt fancier too? *narrows eyes* Although ... he has the shifty look of a the Scripture-knowledge prize winner. His name isn't G.G. Simmons, is it?

Bark like a dog for me.


/the link? Hot, of course.

"She turned me into a newt!"

"The Newcastle crew allowed the salamanders to go about their business, and has even come up with a new way to make sure these creatures are protected, said Newcastle city spokesman Doug Alder.

During the month of October, the city of Newcastle will work with a volunteer group to install storm drain markers across the city with the message "No Dumping, Drains to River".


Oh, thank God, those salamanders are safe now!

spawn73: Uh yeah, that sounds awesome.

Came for the screamapillar. Leaving happy.

I did.

But what happened to all of the slugs?

Hey man, I came here for the "War with the Newts" references and glwtta delivered. It is a classic, although I admit the pulpish cover he posted might suggest otherwise. It's much more of a political satire than the sci-fi schlock horror indicated.

Written by the same guy who brought us Rossum's Universal Robots, no less.

Now, back on topic: am I the only one dissapointed these things only sound like dogs, and aren't the size of dogs?

My salamander. Medium rare for the most part.

So putting a picture of a salamander near the water drains will deter people from dumping chemicals? Stick with the fish pictures.

\ Approves

Anyone who doesn't get the reference has been missing out on one of the best PC RPGs ever.

Pesky_Humans: Bark like a dog for me.


/the link? Hot, of course.

I will teach you the meaning of the word "respect."

♫ I sing whenever I sing whenever I sing.... ♫

Thats a win for the subby on that headline

/yes I immediately thought they would squash/squish the 'mander with the shovel when I saw that pic too.

crazynickstyle: that looks like a Blimpie 6-foot Giant with feet. And no lettuce.
