“Wot? the rabbit?”

by Meg on February 21, 2006

This is so Monty Python it’s ridiculous, only this time, it’s a ferret. James W. H., thank you for sending in this delightful photo. For he rest of you; quotes:
_________

Tim:There he is!
King Arthur:Where?
Tim:There!
King Arthur:What? Behind the rabbit?
Tim:It *is* the rabbit!
King Arthur:You silly sod!
Tim:What?
King Arthur:You got us all worked up!
Tim:Well, that’s no ordinary rabbit.
King Arthur:Ohh.
Tim:That’s the most foul, cruel, and bad-tempered rodent you ever set eyes on!
Sir Robin:You tit! I soiled my armor I was so scared!
Tim:Look, that rabbit’s got a vicious streak a mile wide! It’s a killer!
Sir Galahad:Get stuffed!
Tim:He’ll do you up a treat, mate.
Sir Galahad:Oh, yeah?
Sir Robin:You mangy Scots git!
Tim:I’m warning you!
Sir Robin:What’s he do? Nibble your bum?
Tim:He’s got huge, sharp… er… He can leap about. Look at the bones!
King Arthur:Go on, Bors. Chop his head off!
Sir Bors:Right! Silly little bleeder. One rabbit stew comin’ right up!

"Well, we’ll not risk another frontal assault. That rabbit’s dynamite."
__________

"I *warned* you, but did you listen to me? Oh, no, you *knew*, didn’t you? Oh, it’s just a harmless little *bunny*, isn’t it?"

Cute little ferret…

and I love MP. :) They go together well! Hope no one has a Holy Hand Grenade…

2 kochou 02.21.06 at 7:33 pm

SWEET! god, i love the Python. but…er…that’s not a rabbit O.o*

3 Theo 02.21.06 at 7:37 pm

It’s either albino, or it has its winter coat (more likely).

That ferret *is* dynamite, tho.

4 pistache268 02.21.06 at 7:43 pm

Oh such a little nose.

5 Theo 02.21.06 at 7:44 pm

PS — hey Tigger — check out *this* link.

6 Rosa 02.21.06 at 7:44 pm

Adorable ferret! I love Monty Python too!

7 Esclarmonde 02.21.06 at 7:52 pm

It’s adorable, but I don’t think it’s a ferret. If this is a wild animal, it’s probably a genuine ermine. As in, the animal they make fur coats out of. We have ferrets — including an albino — and it doesn’t look quite like this.

8 Theo 02.21.06 at 7:56 pm

Ooh, ermine! I think we have a winner. (link)

9 Dickie 02.21.06 at 7:59 pm

It’s a stoat, they aren’t albinos…they just change their coats.

10 maymee 02.21.06 at 8:19 pm

Ehn! (sound of me trying to reach cute critter for hugs and snuggles)

11 arbed 02.21.06 at 8:19 pm

Hmmm hard to say – here’s a link for a stoat (and a cute baby stoat it is!)

12 Theo 02.21.06 at 8:24 pm

Stoat coat.

Stoat coat stoat coat stoat coat.

Cous cous.

13 otter 02.21.06 at 8:31 pm

Oh, my god that is melting my whole cranium!!

You planted the cutest little plush toy ever made in that cave to make it look like a real ferret, then took a photo… didn’t you admit it now!

That photo is mnd alteringly cute… and in a natural setting no less!

14 TheIdleReceptionist 02.21.06 at 9:04 pm

But surely this ferrett will greet visitors with a warm, snuggly reception!!

15 Anon 02.21.06 at 9:21 pm

Yeah, that’s a stoat in its winter coat, aka ermine:

Soooo adorable.

16 golfwidow 02.21.06 at 9:27 pm

Run away! Run away!

17 Mush 02.21.06 at 9:55 pm

Oh *good* one!

18 Theo 02.21.06 at 10:07 pm

Whoa. First Meg trots out the old Python quotes, then later the same day I find *this* on Slashdot (link). Coincidence???

19 Shawna 02.21.06 at 10:42 pm

Yeah, I was like, that’s not a ferret, it’s some kind of weasel.

20 Mel 02.21.06 at 11:02 pm

Sharp Pointy Teeth! Deadly cute.

21 Rafael 02.22.06 at 12:52 am

Look out it is the Vorpal Weasel!!!

22 mejezabel 02.22.06 at 1:37 am

Gotta get a Gund.

24 adrianna 02.22.06 at 3:33 am

ah, stoat, the royal ermine. it looks cute even in the queen’s portrait: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:Elizabeth_I_%28Ermine_Portrait%29.jpg

25 Rissa 02.22.06 at 7:48 am

lol, you people.

That’s not a ferret.

It’s an Ermine. LOL

26 Anne860 02.22.06 at 10:45 am

Awww…so cute, No one could bear to use the Holy Hand Grenade on it.

27 rainey 02.22.06 at 10:46 am

Awwww…It’s cute to the point where it looks somewhat unreal, like a plushie. :3

28 Subhangi 02.22.06 at 12:39 pm

Ferret/ Stoat/ Ermine/ Mink?
Does it really even matter what I think?
Darn your snowy coat and beady black eyes,
You’ll be in trouble when the next reader dies.

29 Theo 02.22.06 at 5:20 pm

[bows down before Subhangi]

[then, as a thought occurs, stands back up]

…um I think you may have left out “weasel.”
I drive a car. It uses diesel.

[pained expression. bows back down.]

30 andrea 02.22.06 at 9:39 pm

I JUST CAN’T TAKE THE CUTE *head explodes*

31 Diana 02.23.06 at 3:51 am

that’s great, I love Monthy Phyton & bunnies.

32 Subhangi 02.23.06 at 6:32 am

[Salutes Theo:]

Isn’t it great what cuteness can do?
It makes poets out of me and you.

33 lalaland 02.23.06 at 5:39 pm

what freak of nature is that?

34 greters 02.24.06 at 5:42 pm

its so pretty….swoon.

35 animal guy 02.25.06 at 1:52 pm

what is this a shroo?

36 Tice with a J 02.26.06 at 4:47 am

O Lord, bless this thy hand grenade, that with it thou mayst blow thine enemies to tiny bits, in thy mercy.

37 Rose 02.26.06 at 4:38 pm

I used to have a Silver Mitt ferret — she was white, with big black eyes, just like that. And then she had some black or dark brown guard hairs, but they were towards her rump-end.

So, this could be a dark-eyed white or a light-guarded silver mitt ferret, if it’s not a wild animal mentioned above.

But still, so cute I can’t stand it.

38 katie 02.26.06 at 9:16 pm

It is actually a “least weasel,” I believe.

39 parathalyn 03.09.06 at 12:59 am

That a ermine (also called a stoat) in it’s winter coat. Cute!

40 Yade 03.14.06 at 2:49 pm

That is too cute ^_^

41 Jurjen 03.15.06 at 9:45 pm

Well, remember that the way to tell the difference between a weasel and a stoat is that a weasel’s weaselly identified, while a stoat’s stoatally different.

42 Jenn 03.17.06 at 5:17 pm

This looks like a Least Weasel in its winter coat to me.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Least_weasel

Least Weasel is one of the smallest carnivores, at a whopping 7 inches long.

43 Anybody's 03.22.06 at 10:21 pm

Dear Meg,

What a cute lil’ ferret, er, whatever it is, but I remember from the Holy Grail that it was a killer bunny, but I give you props ’cause its cute!!

Luv,
Killer Bunny(Anybody’s)

44 equus 06.09.06 at 8:18 pm
