Worms in love

Cue the violins...

Cue the beady eyes...

Cue the loooooooooove...!

Don't miss the second part of the worm soap opera, when one of the wormies takes a trip to the beach...

I can't believe I just watched 4:48 of 2 worms in love, but is was amazingly compelling and of course, CUTE.

Whoops. No coffee yet. BEF factor is like ATM machine. Redundant! Sorry.

My mother would constantly berate me for 'anthropromorphizing things'. Now, I find others who do it, too.

I knew I was right.

What a wonderful cinematic exercise. And, I also really like inchworms. Are there 'millimeter worms' in other countries?

Katrina
 |  Nov 29, 2008 at 08:56 AM

it would have to be centimeter worms.

hard to believe i watched this whole vid. jeez. hard up for thrills.

 |  Nov 29, 2008 at 09:11 AM

I can't believe I watched the WHOLE THING... (is there Alka Seltzer for eyeballs?)

Okay, I have a few questions:

1) How did the worms get inside the apples in the first place?

2) Why didn't they just sleep together in the same apple? Are they abstinence-only worms?

3) Aren't worms asexual?

4) Why didn't Worm #2 just jump out of the apple when the truck was driving away? I think it's because s/he was really ambivalent (at that moment), which makes Worm #1's attempt to find Worm #2 that much more of a leap of faith.

5) Why did it sound like the apple orchardists were speaking Japanese?

Overall, too many holes for this script to be believable. As a former Hollywood development executive, I demand to know who failed to provide adequate story notes.

That having been said....

WAAAAAHHHHH!! It's SO CUTE! THE WORMS ARE IN LOVE!!!!

P.S. I am lonely.

The second one is a bit more linear and meditative. It gave me a "Barton Fink" feeling except without Steve Buscemi as the bellhop.

berthaservant
 |  Nov 29, 2008 at 09:34 AM

1) transporter accident
2) shacking up would've been moving too fast; worms tend to be old-fashioned like that
3) actually no -- just hermaphroditic
4) have *you* ever tried this?? seriously
5) the original Catalan wasn't deemed to be quite as universally cute-sounding
6) dude, shut off the 'puter and get thee to a cooking class; just trust me

@B-Serv, the "worms" that occupy apples and other fruit, are not generally worms, they are LARVA. Of some insect that deposited eggs there so that the babies can feed on the fruit.
Which raises a different question. Since these two are just babies, they are clearly TOO YOUNG for all this, and this is like a Romeo-and-Juliet story.

WAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHH!!!!

Theresa
 |  Nov 29, 2008 at 09:38 AM

5a) it wasn't the SCRIPT they were chewing holes in, goofus
5b) PUDDING INCOMING!!! :spucc:

Beautiful!
Lovely story & so well done!
Le sigh.

HALP! I want to submit a photo for Nosevember but I can't find a submission link anywhere on the page. Can anyone tell me where to send my photo? Thanks!

AmyVVV
 |  Nov 29, 2008 at 09:44 AM

Amy -- look in the right-hand margin under "Got Cute?"

Be advised, though, we get BOATLOADS of submissions. Daily. Meg is (and must be) *very* selective.

Theo
 |  Nov 29, 2008 at 09:51 AM

Glad I didn't watch this at work because I yelled an anguished "NO!" when the truck drove off with the little love wormie. Not sure I could've explained that outburst to my coworkers ...

Aoife
 |  Nov 29, 2008 at 09:52 AM

Thanks Theo! I submitted Chester's nose and will wait to see if he is CO-worthy.

Wow... such amazing animation!! I watched several others on You Tube (OK so I like animation a lot...), and they are all good. I recommend the mosquito videos!

The love of larva is love of the purest, most Platonic kind. (Anyway I thought they were caterpillars).

damn PMS..this made me cry.

Khadija
 |  Nov 29, 2008 at 10:09 AM

looks like good kissing and apples

cheesey
 |  Nov 29, 2008 at 11:03 AM

Definitely very cute! Now I want to move to a small village in France. And an apple (worm-free).

 |  Nov 29, 2008 at 11:15 AM

Khadija: I just got off it, but it would've made me cry, too. No shame!

Goodness, that was adorable. <3

Amy
 |  Nov 29, 2008 at 12:27 PM

Awwwwwww, that was unutterably cute. My heart is warm. *pokes it* :)

Meia
 |  Nov 29, 2008 at 12:43 PM

Running through my head during the vid:
"Some enchanted evening,
You may see a stranger...."

At the end, I was kinda expecting the tunnels in the apple to be in a heart shape!!

so I"m hard hearted and got bored and turned it off.

But I did like the monching faces as they et.

EW!!

Cooking class is a good idea except I have no time and no money and am a starving graduate student who is likely moving more than 1000 miles away in less than a year. It is not an ideal time for me to be looking for a hemaphroditic worm partner.

(Said he with all the dignity in the world).

Awww, if the little inch wormies that invade my lawn every spring were this cute with little beady black eyes, I wouldn't be screaming and running from them every time I had to walk to the and from the front door.

Joke I learned as a little kid:

Q: What is worse than biting into an apple and finding a worm?

A: Biting into an apple and finding half a worm!

EEEWWWWWWWWWWWW! ;)

@ Bertha S... Sometimes the one we love shows up ahead of our planned schedule. Says she who met the man of my dreams 3 years ahead of schedule... (Blushes) and married him after about 3 months total of knowing him.... We have been married for 27 years now...and there is no end in sight of our affection for one another.

Annie
 |  Nov 29, 2008 at 02:21 PM

Trembly wormy eyeses! So cute! ...Would it be inappropriate to send this to my (should I call him a?) BF... 2 months of dating, some grown-up snuggles, no "L" word yet... but worms!!

Lizzy
 |  Nov 29, 2008 at 02:24 PM

Go Annie!

Berthaservant, we are here, SWAK, K.

(After watching part 2, beach video)
"Chenille" is the French word for worm/caterpillar?? Puts a new light on my chenille bedspread, doesn't it?

I am not fabric savvy (I know cotton, flannel, wool, and that's about it), but apparently your chenille is made from cords, and the cords originally looked like caterpillars.

n.

1. A soft tufted cord of silk, cotton, or worsted used in embroidery or for fringing.
2. Fabric made of this cord, commonly used for bedspreads or rugs.


[French chenille, caterpillar, chenille, from Latin canīcula, diminutive of canis, dog; see kwon- in Indo-European roots.]

Ya learn something new every day, eh?

berthaservant: "It is not an ideal time for me to be looking for a hermaphroditic worm partner."

Er, bserv, that implies that there *is* an ideal time for you to be looking for a hermaphroditic worm partner.

You have my sympathies about grad school. Grad school crushes your soul like it's a ripe peach in a hydraulic press. It was a very lonely time for me too.

'Course, I spent a lot of it in a shack in Central America, with geckos. That may have been an extreme case. Nonetheless, peach, meet press.

It gets better, by the way. Really it does.

I hope those two worms got married before they started shacking up together!!! ;)

 |  Nov 29, 2008 at 05:29 PM

Hey, I'm ready, but it's a jungle out there and "living at home with my mom while I finish my dissertation and take on four part-time jobs" is not a very good advert for a serious partner, and I only do serious, so....

(It's not that bad, peeps, I'm used to it, and I have Bertha). :-)

berthaservant
 |  Nov 29, 2008 at 06:01 PM

Well, BServ, I can relate...

I must admit, if you'd told me at 18 I would *still* be single at nearly 48 (in 2 days!), I probably would've ended it then and there! I couldn't have imagined life being (relatively) okay. But, life has its compensations! I have 8 of them (Nicky the dog and the 7 kittehs)!!!

Someday, my non-allergic, cat lover prince will come!! LOL!!!!
