And, we’re Baaaaaack!

by Meg on May 3, 2006

PaulabeardSomething went wrong with Typepad yesterday where they suffered a "Denial of Service" attack! The downtime meant you haven’t gotten your fix in a while, our apologies. Who would dare attack Typepad!? SAVE US, WONDER WOMAN!

This is finals week…I need my cute fix now more than ever!

2 Theo 05.03.06 at 8:34 pm

Wonder whaaaa…?

3 Laurie 05.03.06 at 8:34 pm

Yay, Meg’s back! Our own Wonder Woman!

4 Krista 05.03.06 at 8:35 pm

Yay, glad the cuteness is back. I’ve become addicted to at least 3 hits of cuteness a day.

5 Theo 05.03.06 at 8:38 pm

Krista — and now you’re a commenter.

Sigh. I just don’t get the new language the kids are using these days.

What I do get, however, is how cute that lil wonder pup is. Lasso and all.

it looks like Wonde Wuppy forgot to wax an area

10 Laurie 05.03.06 at 8:49 pm

I think s/he is even sitting in the invisible plane.

11 ariel 05.03.06 at 8:50 pm

why the peach hands?

12 Constance 05.03.06 at 8:51 pm

Oh my God. That picture just made my birthday SO much better. My day is complete!

…well add that to the “SQUEEE!!!” shirt my parents gave me (yeah, what of it? so I’m 23…)

haha! THanks for the chuckle meg!

13 M- 05.03.06 at 8:58 pm

Wow…. Wonder Woman is looking a little …. woof…

14 pheral 05.03.06 at 9:01 pm

lmfao! wonder woman has a third leg. it’s hairy. i’m scared…

15 adorababy 05.03.06 at 9:02 pm

wonderpup’s shorts look a bit lumpy… a wonderlump… hmm

16 moptopmouse 05.03.06 at 9:04 pm

Not so fast! This is not so cute.. reminds me of those National Enquirer photos of the southern hemisphere people with that so-called ‘werewolf condition’.. hmmm..

17 arbed 05.03.06 at 9:06 pm

The legs and hands look to be part of the costume – the parts that would normally be the skin that is showing. Someone at the costume factory must have got hold of the now-verboten “skin tone” crayon – can it be that cute is racist? (insert sarcastic tone here – no flaming please) ;-)

18 adorababy 05.03.06 at 9:06 pm

wonderpup has brought me much much much closer to Jesus

19 arbed 05.03.06 at 9:07 pm

Umm, yeah, so, ahhhhhh, my comment should have mentioned that it was in response to ariel’s question about the peach hands…… Thank goodness it’s time to go home now.

20 adorababy 05.03.06 at 9:10 pm

no don’t thank goodness. thank wonderpup. *thank you, wonderpup*

21 pheral 05.03.06 at 9:17 pm

no, don’t thank goodness, thank gun!

(i hope to god someone gets that, or i’ll be harranged for the ‘arming bears’ argument. is harraging anything like meranguing? i wish i could spell that.)

22 ariel 05.03.06 at 9:21 pm

pheral, i will merangue you thoroughly.

23 arwo 05.03.06 at 9:21 pm

Please Hammer, don’t hurt ‘em!

Does the pup do the twirly-around-thing like Lynda Carter did?

24 ariel 05.03.06 at 9:22 pm

btw, i guess i knew what was up w/the peach hands REALLY, i just found them unpleasant.

25 pheral 05.03.06 at 9:24 pm

WHEE! Sledge love.

Hofficer, hi was proceeding in a southerly direction, when hi was thoroughly merangued. :O

26 pheral 05.03.06 at 9:27 pm

aaaaaaaaaaaaaaa strange things are happening! the walls are closing in!!

27 sadie_asher 05.03.06 at 9:27 pm

Poor puppy….

28 E. Collison 05.03.06 at 9:29 pm

I’m speechless.

29 Beauregard 05.03.06 at 9:35 pm

But what’s up the layout?

30 Mel 05.03.06 at 9:41 pm

Oh that’s even cooler than my Wonder Woman Underoos…

31 ariel 05.03.06 at 9:42 pm

whoooooaaaaa, i have just returned from a very strange place. i was perusing the glASSary, & found myself sucked into that age-old heated, circular debate about the cats n’ racks photo/category. phew!
glad to be back.

32 Theo 05.03.06 at 9:43 pm

The layout’s freaking out for me too, both in FireFox and IE, but in *different* ways for each one… er, Megs? You experimenting?

33 Dustbunny 05.03.06 at 9:46 pm

I suspect the Flying Teddies of Doom had something to do with the attack on Typepad.

P.S. Ariel & Pheral — are you talking about lemon merangue??

34 Dustbunny 05.03.06 at 9:48 pm

I just noticed “Caption Me” is now back on the main page, where it belongs. Yay!

35 arbed 05.03.06 at 9:50 pm

well ariel, I’m home now and I guess I have to take back both comments….. lol

Wonderpuppy, activate!

36 pheral 05.03.06 at 9:50 pm

i dunno, i was too busy scraping it off so i could report to the hofficer. what falvour was it ariel? Dr Pepper? I’d like some Dr Pepper flavoured merangue right about now.

Also, re: teddies, i suspect you’re right.

37 AuntieMame 05.03.06 at 9:51 pm

It just looks like it’s spread out a little more on the page.

And for the record, it’s merIngue. :)

38 AuntieMame 05.03.06 at 9:52 pm

Well, damn this sans serif font anyway.

m-e-r-i-n-g-u-e

39 ariel 05.03.06 at 9:53 pm

auntiem, LOL!!

meringue spread out all over the page!

40 shanchan 05.03.06 at 9:54 pm

The new layout makes me sad- all the cute pictures are chopped up! No kitten for the rottweiler! No neck for orange kitty! And…and…eeek, no head for the horsie! Totally harshing my cute mellow, dude.

41 pheral 05.03.06 at 9:57 pm

>meringue spread out all over the page!

lofl!

42 E. Collison 05.03.06 at 10:18 pm

Not to be confused with *merEngue,* tho’…

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Merengue_(music)

43 pheral 05.03.06 at 10:22 pm

hey, great, i’ll just get my saxophone, let’s make merengue people!

(that’s not “let’s make Merengue People”. That’s another thing altogether)

44 jaypo 05.03.06 at 10:23 pm

“No one can resist the golden lasso. It binds all who are encircled and compels them to tell… the truth!”

ariel–please don’t use the glASSary without ASSistance or that can happen again…

45 pheral 05.03.06 at 10:27 pm

oh man

::whispers:: the puns have followed us here. just don’t make any sudden movements, and let’s hope they’re a bit like T Rex’s.

46 Ponygirl 05.03.06 at 10:32 pm

whats going on with the text at the top of front page?

“…At Cute Overloadâ„¢, we scour the Web for only the finest in Cute Imagery…”

It looks fine on this page, but everytime I refresh the front page it dones’t fix itself. Curious.. and not cute.

47 Ponygirl 05.03.06 at 10:32 pm

Oh, and I missed the cuteness!

48 Ponygirl 05.03.06 at 10:32 pm

Oh, and I missed the cuteness!

49 jaypo 05.03.06 at 10:43 pm

[whispers to pheral] yes, I think they’ve leapt across pages but T Rex doesn’t quite fit the profile. I think they’re…velASSoraptors!!!

Okay that’s the *LASST* time I’m punning!! I couldn’t help it.

50 ashley 05.03.06 at 10:49 pm

what kind of dog is that? Does anyone know??

51 anmlvr21 05.03.06 at 10:50 pm

Oh No!!! Where did the Rottie’s kitty go??? He must have eaten her! Come back kitty, come back!

52 mopTOPmouse 05.03.06 at 10:53 pm

Give me a break! WonderWoman’s hands were ALWAYS ‘peach’ and this sweet little dog wouldn’t KNOW THE DIFFERENCE ANYWAY..

53 pheral 05.03.06 at 10:55 pm

>>I think they’re…velASSoraptors!!!
>>Okay that’s the *LASST* time I’m punning!!

aahahaha! aaahaha. hilariASS.

dude. i’m going to bed before it gets any worse. :P

54 ♥♥♥ l.d.c.h. ☺ ♥♥♥ 05.03.06 at 11:10 pm

i thought somethind wASS fishy the other day when only one, of my cute fixes, was on the main page! [i know horrible joke] Constance congrats and happy b-day! lucky! and youu’re nine years older than me!

55 brem 05.03.06 at 11:35 pm

why don’t you move away from typepad and the such? host your own blog! :)

56 Aubrey 05.03.06 at 11:36 pm

Is this one of the Power Pup Girls?

57 chacha 05.04.06 at 12:25 am

major silliness today! Meringue, merengue, harangue … they all look more ridiculous the longer you look at them. Just like that dog.

58 Denita TwoDragons 05.04.06 at 1:10 am

There have been a lot of DDOS attacks going around lately. Sorry y’all got caught in the same mess, Meg!

59 Mark356 05.04.06 at 5:08 am

I was wondering why the pics weren’t showing up yesterday; I thought it was just my computer, but I missed them! Glad that Wonder Woman saved us!

60 makiono 05.04.06 at 5:24 am

Hey, does this pic remind anyone else of the Namennayo cats?
http://www.nameneko.com/
soo cute ^.^

61 Dixie 05.04.06 at 7:23 am

Cute pup. Layout is killing me. Less cute and more advertising. Ick. X_X

62 Freak 05.04.06 at 2:15 pm

The dog is probably a Keeshond, maybe a Norwegian Elkhound.

63 ♥♥♥ l.d.c.h. ☺ ♥♥♥ 05.04.06 at 2:24 pm

i totally second that Dixie!

64 LauraFries.com 05.04.06 at 2:24 pm

The dog is definitely a Keeshond – I’d know one anywhere.

65 Keri 05.05.06 at 5:31 pm

KEESHOND! Wow, I never see my favorite breed in anything! Now, I need to get one of those costumes for my dog…

66 ♥'s G.D. & animals ☺ 05.06.06 at 9:40 pm

oh and the lady who said her “neice” was tramatized, she admited in a laster thread that her niece was imaginary and i was brave for her to admit it

67 KansasSunflower 05.26.06 at 6:05 pm

THAT is one of the cutest and funniest pictures I have ever seen! Where in the world did that costume come from? :-) And how did someone get their pet to sit still long enough to take that picture, as well as put on the clothes? :-)

68 Amy 07.02.06 at 4:16 am

Can you please tell me where I can find this costume??? I am a wonder woman fanatic, & I have a cute little doggie that would look great in this costume!! Thank you!

69 Ashley 11.03.06 at 9:33 pm

guy off camera: yes, we need wonder woman’s stand in.

dog: I am ready for my close up.
