Not super food-related, but pretty amazing. The title says it all. The fast action, after the jump....

Just when you thought no gecko could be any cuter than the Geico gecko, along comes this Hawaiian hottie. According to National Geographic, who voted it one of the best photos of 2008, the lithe lizard shimmied down the restaurant wall, stole a lick of a vacationer’s dessert, and ran off. He may not have good table manners, or be able to speak or save you fifteen percent or more on car insurance, but he has a very refined palate. How can you be mad at something so cute for running out on the check?...

Photograph by Michele Humes If your first reaction to this photo isn't, "BUUUNNNNIIIIIESS!!! AHHHH!!! EEEEHEEHEE! BUNNIIIESS!!!" then something's wrong with you. Because that was my reaction, and God knows I'm the definition of normalcy. These rabbits, Brodsky and Peanut, belong to Michele Humes of the food blog Fine Furious Life. In an entry about innate likes and dislikes with food, she explains that while Brodsky loves carrots, Peanut won't touch them. Michele's dislikes include floral note, tarragon, and fennel. I would try to think of my own, but I'm too distracted by the adorably fluffy bunnies....

It's official. Monkeys can do a better job waiting on tables than some humans. What, you don't believe me? Watch these videos. The first one has proper British narration that, in fact, explains a lot. The second has no narration. It's a purer form of monkey business. I so want a monkey to bring me a hot towel the next time I go to a bar. Don't you? Animal rights activists, take note: The monkeys only work two hours a day. If they work more, they must get a banana break every thirty minutes. Watch both, after the jump....

Photograph by Raphael Brion Last time we saw Ed's beagle, Brass, he was poking his head in a dishwashing machine. This morning when he visited the office he hurriedly waddled toward Raphael's trash can (hence why he's a smidge blurry) and rifled through its contents until he found some day-old Chinese barbecue rib bones. If Ed hadn't dragged Brass out of the office, he probably would've sniffed our trash cans for the rest of the day, then moved onto other offices to rifle through their trash cans. And no one could resist, because he's such a cute dog. (I made an indecipherable squeal of happiness when he shuffled into the room.) Check out more photos I took of Brass...

Bow-chicka-bow-wow sums up recent ads for Orangina, where an anthropomorphized animal kingdom shakes, shimmies, and lap dances, wearing lingerie and strategically-placed leaves. It's quite a jump from the vintage French ones with an orange peel serving as a harmless umbrella. The commercial itself is even worse. Soda bottles explode between the thighs of zebras, then squirt onto the chests of other animals. Not sure how much that and a scantily-clad gazelle fits into the fizzy French soda vision. Parents and children groups are offended, as reported in the Independent, inspiring the Advertising Standards Agency (ASA) to reconsider the ad. Do you think it meets the standards of good taste and decency? Watch the Orangina commercial after the jump. [via...
