Oh, hang on...isn't that Ashley Cole in an unconvincing disguise?

Nintendo Zoo Keeper Quotes
As Jonathan Richman might have said: "I like this game; I like it a lot" (in the unlikely event of Jonathan preferring Nintendo to Dodge Veg-o-matics).
So, Zoo Keeper...
You round up escaped animals, trying to score as many points as you can. At the end of the game, the zoo keeper (he's supposed to be your father) waves a cigar at you and makes a comment (presumably translated direct from the original Japanese). Sometimes these comments are kind, at other times soul-destroying, but more often than not, highly amusing.
This post collects together ninety-three of Zoo Keeper's sayings (in alphabetical order - it was already such a sad thing to do, I decided to make it even more sad by alphabeticising them all). If you come across this post and have knowledge of more sayings, feel free to add them in the comments box! Thank you!

Tweecore Tommy: The Melons
Resident indiepop expert, Tweecore Tommy (pictured, left) has been searching through my list of free downloads on Last fm, searching for rarely-heard gems. He thinks he may have found one, in the shape of The Melons song, Strictly Melonhead.
"Cheap keyboards, synthetic handclaps, cheeky lyrics, sung by hard-drinking party girls - ex-members of Fat Tulips...yes please!" Tommy purred. "If I was human, I'd say it was just my cup of tea, but as I'm a cat, I'll say it's just my puddle of fetid rainwater*".
*This is a good thing. Other free downloads by The Melons are available - Fire Engine Girl is particularly recommended.
