Antonio H. Just stop it. Look at this, will you? This image is the epitome of "ehn!" [trying to reach]

May I be the first to thank you for introducing a way to spell a word I use all the time.

3 otter 02.21.06 at 2:49 pm

That photo would make a great poster with some inspirational phrase captioning it, but “Ehn!” really says it all!!

4 Subhangi 02.21.06 at 3:01 pm

‘Hey hey lemme see what’s going on can I can I huh pleeeeeease?’

BTW, Meg, I think you should have a caption contest … post a photograph and invite captions from readers. What say?

Thank you, Raffi, for your words of wisdom and truth…

Six little ducks that I once knew…..

6 Theo 02.21.06 at 3:20 pm

Ahhh — I *fear* a caption contest for this pic, mainly because I’ve seen it 100 times already on an IRC images archive, and 99% of the time, the captions dive straight straight into the obvious racist “humor.” Oh giggles (not).

It’s not that I don’t trust CuteOverloaders to post with civility (snort!), it’s just, y’know, 99 times bit, 198 times shy.

(PLEASE NOTE: IRCimages.com is absolutely Not Safe For Work; it’s a big unfiltered internet out there.)

Theo–I was wondering about that, myself…

Me? I just saw cute little duckies, m’self–but then, I was raised to judge people the same way I judge a piece of fruit–it’s the sweetness inside that counts, not the color of the peel.

As for the pic itself…? HEE!! At this rate I’m not just gonna melt, I’ll sublimate straight into a vapor and end up raining all over Spain! (Mainly on the plain, of course…)

Fuzzy duck butts!

Just as cute as fuzzy puppy butt!

Makes me think of Lemon Jelly, “Nice Weather For Ducks.”

9 carol 02.21.06 at 4:15 pm

Who knew you could stand on tippy-web?

10 s 02.21.06 at 4:16 pm

the tiny wings, the stretching feets (Ggaspp!)

11 otter 02.21.06 at 4:17 pm

Are you always a wind bag, Theo?

I just wondered about what the two different types of ducks were when I saw that picture… was surprised to see reference to racism, but I guess I can see how that could be stretched out of the photo…

12 Theo 02.21.06 at 4:22 pm

Only online.

2 duckling pictures in 2 days?!? Are the heaven puppy and scurry bunny about to frolic/hop over to me as I’m m agically transported to a lush field of green, too?

14 Robin 02.21.06 at 5:18 pm

Dude. All I saw was ducks, wondering how one of them was a different breed and if he was lost from his mommy….

15 hashi 02.21.06 at 5:25 pm

Theo’s the most lovable wind bag on the INTARVEB.

I do know of what he speaks, and it is sad. It is nice seeing an *unedited* version of this picture. it makes it innocent once again. :)

16 hashi 02.21.06 at 5:27 pm

And yes, Carol, the tippy-web in this takes the cake!

17 Theo 02.21.06 at 5:28 pm

OK… I retract the portion of my comment above mentioning other CuteOverload commentators. I don’t mean to dump all over everyone (just… some people). Sorry.

18 Rafael 02.21.06 at 5:30 pm

“Hey guys, where are you going, the pond is over there! Come back here! Don’t leave me….”

19 kochou 02.21.06 at 5:30 pm

oh, man this reminds me of the Ugly Duckling fairytale. he’s so cute!!!

20 hashi 02.21.06 at 5:33 pm

Theo looooves me

Not as much as he has lurve for them ducks, no doubt. :)

21 finn 02.21.06 at 5:41 pm

this whole site’s weird today. did you guys drink the koolaid?

22 hashi 02.21.06 at 6:02 pm

does downing 10 pints count as ‘drinking’?

23 Beauregard 02.21.06 at 6:08 pm

Theo loves all the COers and we all love him. (Within reason.)

24 sarnold 02.21.06 at 6:18 pm

Ducklings!!! My Precious!

25 nella 02.21.06 at 6:59 pm

“Downing” – heehee…
Oh, they’re so extra fluffy-puffy-downy!!!

26 StormCat 02.21.06 at 7:16 pm

I have a new word for the day…. Tippy-web…that is SOOOO Cute!!!!!

(walks off muttering tippy-web, tippy-web, tippy-web)

27 jennifuh 02.21.06 at 7:31 pm

How does you pronounce “ehn”?

28 Courtney 02.21.06 at 7:32 pm

My new favorite word is “ehn!”

29 hashi 02.21.06 at 9:14 pm

Just make a light grunting sound, as though you were about the size of your fist, and reaching for a grape. :)

30 Cassidy 02.21.06 at 10:17 pm

hey i sent this one in and u didn’t post it for me!

31 xpityparteex 02.21.06 at 10:43 pm

FLUFFEH!!!!!!!

32 Denise 02.22.06 at 12:47 am

Meg, “Ehn!” should really be just an entirely new cuteness “rule”. Anything small and precious that is trying hard to stretch out or do anything particularly difficult (for it) is cute. Does anyone DISAGREE with this????? I thought not.

33 mejezabel 02.22.06 at 1:39 am

I second Denise….but..ehn.. I can’t…ehn…quite reach…the ballot box.

34 TigerZahn 02.22.06 at 2:10 am

….I’m on to you! Your main goal is to kill us with cuteness! … *must submit something*

35 Claire 02.22.06 at 7:48 am

This is very cute!! However, you had best put gloves and hats on those ducks to make sure that they don’t get the bird flu.

36 s 02.22.06 at 8:26 am

i second the “ehn” category

37 El Tete 02.22.06 at 10:16 am

“Let me see, let me see”

38 rainey 02.22.06 at 10:41 am

EHN! I love that sound. *_*

39 Anne860 02.22.06 at 1:54 pm

This picture reminds me of me of my little brothers. Y’know back when they really were little (& small enought to beat up). “Hey guys, where are you goin’? Can I come too? Pleasepleaseplease? Fine, be that way! I’ll just follow you! Ehn!”

40 Susan 02.22.06 at 9:12 pm

Ehn! I love it. :-D

41 andrea 02.22.06 at 9:40 pm

ahhh poor wittle duky poo

42 happy_bunny 02.23.06 at 8:51 am

This pic makes me a little sad and worried. Is the yellow duckling just different from his siblings? Is he lost? Where’s his mom?

43 lalaland 02.23.06 at 5:40 pm

those are swanlings. he’s a duckling. gosh, you must not have read the ugly duckling as a kid. This is just it, reversed. Anyway its dead, it has died of starvation probably by now.

44 Tianna_j 02.26.06 at 8:33 am

put the sweetness into mc’donadls cola

45 Miranda Puckett 04.15.06 at 6:36 pm

I know my comment is a bit late, but I’m fairly sure this is a copyrighted image… from a local newspaper. The Roanoke Times, in Roanoke, VA. Just thought I’d pass that along.

I have to admit, the first potential caption that crossed my mind was something along the lines of “I don’t know about this whole “bussing to inner-city schools idea…” So, I’d say you have a point, Theo.

(Or maybe: “White Ducks Can’t Jump!”)
