Roo Pads

You can pick your ‘roos
You can pick your pads
But you can’t pick your ‘roo’s pads.

5 Ponygirl 06.06.06 at 4:07 pm

SQUEEEEEEEE!!!!!!

6 Zelda 06.06.06 at 4:09 pm

WOW!! Incredible footsies! Yikes, I’d hate to be on the receiving end of the toenails. Awfully cute critter, though.

7 MaggieBelle 06.06.06 at 4:11 pm

It looks like a furry alien.

8 Aubrey 06.06.06 at 4:14 pm

Could RuPaul pick your roo pads?

Today’s my birthday – and it’s not my rebirth, and I’m not evil – can I request a kitten, please?

9 Annie D. 06.06.06 at 4:17 pm

Roo toe jam!

10 carolion 06.06.06 at 4:18 pm

kangaroo tongue!

11 Laurie C 06.06.06 at 4:21 pm

Happy B’day, Aubrey! Remember, there are 364 days when you can get un-birthday presents, too. Kittens all around!

12 rainbow 06.06.06 at 4:22 pm

holy foot pads!! that is way cute.

13 Jes 06.06.06 at 4:31 pm

That’s weird

14 pheral 06.06.06 at 4:33 pm

how fantastic, they look like little aliens, that’s awesome! i’m all bewondered now. :D

15 Laurie C 06.06.06 at 4:35 pm

Rule of Cuteness #19, however I think the cutest thing about these pictures is the doe eyes.

16 Skwerly 06.06.06 at 4:40 pm

Aww! More baby roo eyelashes please!

And ellyfant eyelashes!

And giraffe eyelashes too!

*plink plink*

17 ariel 06.06.06 at 4:46 pm
18 Leilani 06.06.06 at 4:51 pm

Those are definitely specialized foots!

19 A Fine Morsel 06.06.06 at 4:54 pm

The roo eyelashes are the best. She doesn’t know she has ugly feets! She’s just being roo!

20 TheIdleReceptionist 06.06.06 at 5:03 pm

That last one belongs in MoMA.

21 TeratoMarty 06.06.06 at 5:07 pm

Those are AMAZING feet. I think they’re really lovely; I want to touch them and see whether they are velvety or leathery.

22 alma 06.06.06 at 5:10 pm

These roo toes are made for bouncing….

23 Redzilla 06.06.06 at 5:19 pm

Wow. Those are some freaky feet. Are kangaroos the evolutionary link between birds and mammals? *This comment not valid in Kansas.

24 acm 06.06.06 at 5:21 pm

roos have *three* toes?!?
is one of them fused? I mean, cute, but wacky!! :)

25 MLE 06.06.06 at 5:23 pm

Redzilla ~ HA!!! Rawk.

Everything/one else ~ Roo! Cuteness that’s bouncy!

26 Theo 06.06.06 at 5:32 pm

ACM — that’s nuthin. Horses have only one per leg.
;)

27 greenighs 06.06.06 at 5:38 pm

freaky little alien tritoes. <3

28 chacha 06.06.06 at 5:42 pm

I’m with the “freaky feet” contingent. The doe eyes, however, are a saving grace. Let’s put li’l roo in a sproinging contest with Heli-bunny and the yipster.

29 StormCat 06.06.06 at 5:51 pm

I have to admit, those footsies are very strange lookin’… But his eyes, eyelashes, and ears more than make up for it… What a little darlin’….

30 hrh.squeak 06.06.06 at 5:52 pm

Must … snorgle … furry … snout …
Squeeee!!!

31 MaggieBelle 06.06.06 at 5:58 pm

Ariel…cute link

I liked this one

32 Karen 06.06.06 at 6:02 pm

Eww. Not cute at all. Rather alien and frightening. How could she say “so cute it hurts”? Those feet aren’t cute, they just hurt is all.

33 juliette 06.06.06 at 6:07 pm

happy birthday aubrey!

cool to see roo feets, i guess all that skin’s gotta be pretty tough to take the abuse of bounding around all the time.

also re: Redzilla’s post: HEE! glad i’m not in kansas.

34 alice 06.06.06 at 6:18 pm

The toes are kinda freaky I wuvs the roo – I want to cradle one, too!

“Look at my cool toes!” says Roo in picture #2, show ‘n tell. “Ya don’t want to mess with me.”

35 Elizabeth 06.06.06 at 6:30 pm

There is room in my room for a roo to roam.

36 Aubrey 06.06.06 at 6:35 pm

Just make sure he’s aware of House Rooles, before he takes root.

37 a native kansan 06.06.06 at 6:45 pm

First off roos are very cute

Wow. Those are some freaky feet. Are kangaroos the evolutionary link between birds and mammals? *This comment not valid in Kansas.

Please do not specifically pick on one state. Multiple local districts have had court fights over the past few years about evolution. And since it is still a theory (on the macro level at least) and not a fact it should be taught as such. Also don’t criticize something and get political in a place where people go for fun. If you want to do that, please feel free to go to the websites of Kansas papers and post there. (Kansas does have the web, by the way.)

38 Skwerly 06.06.06 at 7:13 pm

First of all, let me say that Redzilla’s comment is verreh funneh!

As a native Oklahoman, I am qualified to say that it should also be extended to my fair state.

And to a native kansan,

JOKE! LAUGH! HA HA! SENSE OF HUMOR! GET ONE!!

39 Theo 06.06.06 at 7:20 pm

See, this makes me want to churn out all the derogatory Kansas jokes I can find, and invent a bunch more on top. Something tells me that very little of it will be A-list material, though.

40 Connie 06.06.06 at 7:48 pm

LOL – Theo, I love you…

41 gryt 06.06.06 at 8:40 pm

Anyway, back to the darling li’l roo… What a sweet, sweet face, just beautiful. Her feetsies are WILD.
Still a theory… :P

42 E 06.06.06 at 8:53 pm

a native kansan- I can’t tell if you’re being funny or real. If it’s the former, good one. If it’s the latter, I laugh at you.

monkeymonkeymonkey!

43 Arvay 06.06.06 at 10:19 pm

He has beautiful roo eyes! They look like horse eyes!

44 Renée 06.06.06 at 10:42 pm

Awww, those feet remind me of when I bottle-fed an orphaned baby roo wrapped in a blankie, and his giant feet were sticking out one end… awww. They have such amazing eyes.

45 Lucille Miles 06.07.06 at 12:17 am

NOT cute!!!!

Well, how about Gondwanaland?

47 E. Collison 06.07.06 at 12:56 am

‘Roo or wallaby, I wonder?

Very, very cute. I want to snorgle the lil’ critter.

48 Theo 06.07.06 at 12:58 am

Leilani – I thought they broke up?

49 Redzilla 06.07.06 at 1:24 am

Hi native Kansan. Will it surprise you to know that I am also a native Kansan? Raised in a little burg called Hugoton. Heard of it? Guess I got to re-evaluate my notion that most Kansans have a sense of humor about our quirky home state. *sigh.

50 Han 06.07.06 at 1:27 am

Funny thing to notice that kangaroos are also standing on their heels, just like primates. Most animals stand on their toes, or for example horses stand on their toenails

51 Redzilla 06.07.06 at 1:28 am

So as not offend the natives of Kangarooland, which I have never visited, I must also note that despite his freaky feet, I find this little guy pretty darn cute. Plus, you’ve got the paw-licking action in the top pic, which is always a winner.

52 Theo 06.07.06 at 1:29 am

RedZ — Kansas humor is a fleeting thing. (Like dust in the wind.)

53 Jaye 06.07.06 at 1:46 am

Awww, I love those big eyes and that deerlike face!

The feet, now…am I the only one that thinks it looks like the kangaroo is perpetually giving everyone the finger? Er, toe?

54 Gillian 06.07.06 at 10:08 am

OMG! I WANT ONE!

Painfully cute, indeed! :)

I heart roos.

55 pendlerpiken 06.07.06 at 10:49 am

norway???

56 Theo 06.07.06 at 2:24 pm

LOL.
“am I the only one that thinks it looks like the kangaroo is perpetually giving everyone the finger? Er, toe?”

For the record, mon schmoop rocks.

57 you guys r silly 06.07.06 at 2:31 pm

Theo: “All we are is dust in the wind … dude.”

58 Theo 06.07.06 at 2:33 pm

Y’know, that’s actually a pretty fun piece to do as a duet, esp. if your sister plays violin & you play guitar. (Good times, good times…)

59 you guys r silly 06.07.06 at 2:33 pm

P.S. Nice to see that all the COMMENTROVERSY hasn’t oozled over into THIS picture, too…
&:o\

60 you guys r silly 06.07.06 at 2:36 pm

Theo: My quote was actually from “Bill and Ted’s Excellent Adventure” when they first meet Socrates (or “So Crates” as they called him…)
Teds are funny people, aren’t they?????
&;o)

61 Theo 06.07.06 at 3:43 pm

Yeah but B&T were quoting the Kansas song, so it’s all good.

62 Redzilla 06.07.06 at 4:04 pm

Re: baby gumming kitten “commentroversy.” Whew…yes, despite the Kansas…er, dustup, we are all still enjoying the cuddly little roo. He kinda makes me think if Nightcrawler from X-Men.

63 Theo 06.07.06 at 4:21 pm

BAMF

64 you guys r silly 06.07.06 at 4:24 pm

Yeah — it’s “all chicky-babe”!
&:o)

65 ariel 06.07.06 at 4:35 pm

his feets look like flying buttresses!

66 Thalia 06.07.06 at 4:39 pm

Just wanted to say, Theo, I got the Gondwanaland joke. :)

67 Aubrey 06.07.06 at 11:25 pm

There once was a dog
Whose head was in a fog-
His psyche it was tainted.
There were those that he amused
But he still remained confused:
Had he been ’shopped or was he painted?

68 Aubrey 06.07.06 at 11:27 pm

WRONG POST. WRONG PICTURE. Apologies all around. This post will re-appear under the correct picture within minutes. This has been a PSA (Pretty Stupid Aubrey)

69 Arvay 06.08.06 at 12:08 am

Commentroversy here would roo-in the mood. Which would be quite roo-ful.

You see, though some of us are from Venus and some from Mars-U pial away our rough exteriors and we can all get along just fine!

70 Andrea 06.08.06 at 4:11 am

AWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW OMIGOD this is so cute!!

71 animal mommy 06.08.06 at 5:31 am

This is so absolutely adorable. They need to post more unusual, and adorable animals like this. I just want to HUG him. errrrrr

72 Theo 06.08.06 at 2:49 pm

[just now catching up]
Thalia — good on ya; *I* barely got it.
Google is my friend.

73 Saighin 06.10.06 at 9:47 pm
