Beady, small ears paws-uptitude, but…

by Meg on September 19, 2006

Perhaps a new rule of cuteness should be not showing your nads. When I think cute, I def don’t think ’show your nads’ helps the situation. This is a case where paws are up, eyes are beady, and ears are small, but nads aren’t helpin’. Oh, yeah, that’s gotta be a tail.

Good GOD he must have one happy lil’ mate. Either that or a really sore one. Come on now, I mean, Good night Loretta!

14 Cat 09.19.06 at 5:33 pm

That’s a scrolldown. Good, good, good, …Egads!!!

15 brownamazon 09.19.06 at 5:33 pm

ummm… I *hope* that’s just an unfortunately arranged and baldified tailio. No mistakin’ the other appendages, though. Yep. Them’s ‘nads, alright! (Anyone remember “Aussie Nads,” that hair removal goop? No wonder it didn’t sell well here.)

16 Tony James 09.19.06 at 5:40 pm

Oh DUDE! If the other meerkats were “Lock up your wimmins!”, then these guys are…
…well, I don’t know, but if your wimmins aren’t locked up already I think it’s too late!

17 Subhangi 09.19.06 at 5:41 pm

Now WAITAMINIT. Is that a -

HOLY _____!!!!!

I hope you’re right, BA. I DO hope that’s a TAIL.

18 katerpie 09.19.06 at 5:42 pm

I always thought meerkats were cute, but I actually find this pic kind of evil looking! Especially the littler one, he appears to be distinctly displeased.

19 MamaDawn 09.19.06 at 5:43 pm

I guess it’s a compliment to be hung like a meerkat. Who knew?
Arrrrr!

20 Subhangi 09.19.06 at 5:45 pm

TJ – Wonder if the guy next to him is the result of it being “too late”.

21 daisycat 09.19.06 at 5:49 pm

1. Prepare to be boarded.

22 Tony James 09.19.06 at 5:50 pm

I look at this, and I think Roland Rat and and his brother, Little Reggie. Or the rats from Chicken Run – it’s the facial expression, you know they’re plotting something :)

23 Sarcasta 09.19.06 at 5:50 pm

Unless EVERYTHING south of the equator is upside down (like how the toilet water spins the other direction) I think that’s a tail… unless somehow he got the beans above the franks.

24 Sabba 09.19.06 at 5:52 pm

Arr, daisycat, ye got me rollin on the deck here!

uh.. Rollin’ wi’ laughter! Laughter! Harrharr… XD

25 Sarcasta 09.19.06 at 5:53 pm

Ye Olde Pirate Joke, just for today, and this nutty post:

Pirate wanders into a bar, with a ship’s steering wheel sticking out of his pants. Bartender asks “what is that for?” Pirate answers “Yarrrrr, it’s drivin’ me nuts!”

26 Diem 09.19.06 at 5:57 pm

I’m in denial here gang.

I wish to believe he’s just a little fatty cake who is rolling over onto his own belly flab and his tail is smooshing said flab up, so he can reach his tail and munch more of the fuzz off.

That’s what I’m choosing to believe.

27 Subhangi 09.19.06 at 6:02 pm

(Psst …. BPeep Jr? Cap’n Aubs is on ‘er way. Aye, she’s still ready fer battle.)

Now I got to git me some sleepins. ‘Night and good fortune, ye merrymakers!

28 Aubrey 09.19.06 at 6:06 pm

Meerkat? What Manor of devilry is this?

Pirate Subhangi – ye’ll keep with the pirate chat fer as long as tis amusin’ to me!

Ye Gads! Siren alert!

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA, TOO FUNNY!

31 Tracey 09.19.06 at 6:08 pm

eeew! their faces are cute tho.. look a little alien-ish if I do say so myself.

32 steph 09.19.06 at 6:10 pm

HAHAHA, Sarcasta’s comment on “beans above the franks.”

It’s a very valid point, therefore I motion that he’s sitting on his tail, and not splaying his junk out all over the place. Nuts aside, naturally.

33 Judy B 09.19.06 at 6:15 pm

Arh, Sarcasta, ye have tickled me funny bone!

A bottle of rum I raise to them thar meerkats!

34 A thinker 09.19.06 at 6:18 pm

Um, yeah. *That’s* a CO scrolldown for ya…

35 sabrina 09.19.06 at 6:20 pm

8. Come on up and see me urchins?
I can see ‘em loud and clear thanks verrry much!!

36 Sarcasta 09.19.06 at 6:20 pm

And for all you World of Warcraft addic…UH… I mean enthusiasts, here’s one of the “human male” jokes:

Pirate walks into a bar with a parrot on his shoulder. Bartender asks “where’d you get that?” Parrot answers, “Durotar, they’re all over the place!”

37 Pam 09.19.06 at 6:20 pm

But the very word ‘nads’ is cuteness itself!!

38 Laurie C 09.19.06 at 6:23 pm

Evil grins = cute.

39 Heather S. 09.19.06 at 6:28 pm

HOLY MOTHER OF TROY! You won’t see that on Meercat Manor.

40 Virginia 09.19.06 at 6:33 pm

I suggest making a list of “Rules of Anti-Cuteness”!

41 ShelleyTambo 09.19.06 at 6:35 pm

This makes me think of Will Ferrell and Chris Kattan as the Night at the Roxbury guys–one short, one tall, standing around looking dorky, and they’d probably point at their nads, too. Hope these dudes have better luck gettin’ some meerkat lovin’.

42 kestrien 09.19.06 at 6:39 pm

While those are definitely nads, that’s also definitely the tail.

Remember your anatomy…the other “tail” is ABOVE (ie. closer to the head) than the nads, not below.

43 brownamazon 09.19.06 at 6:45 pm

*wiping screen from latte splatter resulting from “beans n’ franks” and “splaying his junk” and “blow me down”… Oh my!*

44 Sarcasta 09.19.06 at 6:53 pm

kestrien… OF COURSE *that tail* is “closer to the head” because it IS a hhhh… [claps hand over mouth and runs away in slow motion]

45 HonorH 09.19.06 at 6:55 pm

I’d just like to know if anyone’s ever heard of a furry penis in any species. ‘Cause I’m thinking that’s a mite too fuzzy to be anything but a tail.

46 renee 09.19.06 at 6:56 pm

Kind of creepy pic! Borderline cute, but that one can’t make the cute. Not showing nads isn’t really a rule of cuteness because lots of things don’t show nads and aren’t cute. But it should definitely be a “requirement” to not be disqualified from any other cuteness rule.

47 Renee 09.19.06 at 6:58 pm

correction to my post -
“can’t make the cute” = “can’t make the cut” oops

48 EricaE 09.19.06 at 6:58 pm

You make a valid point that may have just saved me a bit of therapy. :o )

La la la… happy thoughts, rainbows, cookies, fluffy gender nuetral kittens…

53 Eleanor 09.19.06 at 7:09 pm

Sweet jumpin’ jebus, I pray that that is a tail!

54 Lori 09.19.06 at 7:10 pm

YE GADS??? Am I the only one to think YE NADS???

55 ShelleyTambo 09.19.06 at 7:13 pm

Last year I accidentally ended up at a “Behind the Scenes in the Zoo’s Mating Program” tour. Heard about corkscrew-shaped, rocket-shaped, two-headed (!), and (literally) elephant-sized penises, but no furry. ‘Course the woman doing the tour was old enough to be my grandmother, so I sheer embarrassment let me hear only about every third word.

56 MamaDawn 09.19.06 at 7:14 pm

Yarrr…that treasure should stay buried.

57 ShelleyTambo 09.19.06 at 7:14 pm

(last comment directed @ HonorH)

58 Zap 09.19.06 at 7:23 pm

As a followup to ShelleyTambo, opossums (at least) have a forked penis, because the female has a forked vagina. No, I don’t know how he gets it in there, but it was the basis for the initial idea that they have sex with the female’s nostrils and she sneezes the babies into the pouch. (Not true.) My Reproduction Biology prof wanted a forked penis, but what he thought he could do with it was anyone’s guess. He was a little old bald Czechoslovakian who kept us awake in the late afternoon class because we had no idea what he was going to say next.

59 Danielle 09.19.06 at 7:26 pm

I literally just laughed out loud! Tuck those nads!

60 hrh.squeak 09.19.06 at 7:29 pm

Yarr, matey, what manner of pegleg be *that*???

61 ShelleyTambo 09.19.06 at 7:30 pm

I don’t recall what animal she told us had the two-headed/forked penis, but I remember that it was big and she showed us pictures, and ew ew ew.

62 ProshSpice 09.19.06 at 7:35 pm

I think that’s a tail. It’s just too big proportionately. I will say that, comparatively speaking, cats have the cutest nads. Little cat nuts are small, furry and look like little cotton balls underneath their little chocolate starfishes.

63 carolina 09.19.06 at 7:43 pm

oh, for heaven’s sake, of course it’s a tail! but nads are showing also. kittie nads are what I call “nuggets”

64 HarryD 09.19.06 at 7:43 pm

Its a tail, you filthy minded bunch o’ pirates.

See!
http://us.i1.yimg.com/us.yimg.com/i/ligans/ecards/sam/meercat.jpg

They often sit on their tails like that, which, yes, admittedly makes it look a bit… dodgy…

65 Laurie C 09.19.06 at 7:44 pm

“little chocolate starfishes”

Now *that* just ’sploded my head. Don’t say that about chocolate, I beg you!

66 ca 09.19.06 at 7:44 pm

and, oh yeah, tiny little kittie nads are indeed cute

67 brownamazon 09.19.06 at 7:47 pm

Um, forked penises? Possum nostril sex? I’m screaming on the inside.

Cheque,please.

68 Gillian 09.19.06 at 7:47 pm

I think that’s his tail, too.

Although there are definitely balls present.

He’s hung like a meerkat, alright…

69 Tony James 09.19.06 at 7:52 pm

Jeebus, it’s astonishing – a single dick joke reduces us to the level of 2nd-graders – (“hehehehehe, you said ‘thing’, hehehehe”) – so much for webusers being sophisticated – LOL!

70 Theo 09.19.06 at 7:55 pm

Hear hear, Brownie.

71 johnny 09.19.06 at 8:12 pm

An ocean fairin’ Meercat, on much needed shore-leave, walks into a local seaman’s tavern with a ships stearing wheel hanging off his Considerable Meercat penis. His pal, the bar-keep, calls out, “Hay, buddy?! You know ya got a ship’s wheel hangin off yur Meer-rod, there?”

“AY!” the Meercat says, “It’s drivin me nuts!”

72 Sarcasta 09.19.06 at 8:21 pm

Dude! I made that joke way up there! [points upthread]

73 Theo 09.19.06 at 8:24 pm

Dudette… that joke’s been sailing around since there’s been ships’ wheels.

74 Theo 09.19.06 at 8:24 pm

…and nuts.

75 Genevieve 09.19.06 at 8:31 pm

OH MY GOSH!!! I totally thought that was the weiner. You just freaked me out.

76 bats 09.19.06 at 8:32 pm

From HarryD’s photo, it appears that the bald-end of the tail isn’t that unusual amongst meerkats…

77 Sarcasta 09.19.06 at 8:32 pm

Yah, I know Theo, but…
Double post! Double post!

78 Lauri 09.19.06 at 8:32 pm

80 MamaDawn 09.19.06 at 8:43 pm

81 ali 09.19.06 at 9:03 pm

nads=bads *boooooo*

82 DavidBoBavid 09.19.06 at 9:05 pm

ROFL.. HarryD that picture doesn’t exactly help the case any.

look how his “tail” is positioned there, plus that sly look on his face. he’s all, “that’s right, ladies”

83 MamaDawn 09.19.06 at 9:08 pm

When you’re on the lower rung of the food chain, I guess you gotta mate early, mate often to keep the population going.

84 HarryD 09.19.06 at 9:29 pm

All the cool meercats are doing it!

http://www.theblisspages.com/images/lille04-012_sm.jpg

85 The Gypsy Poet 09.19.06 at 9:45 pm

Avast! Either that be a tail or we should start sayin’ “Ye be hung like a meerkat!”

86 MamaDawn 09.19.06 at 10:03 pm

If all the cool meerkats were jumping off cliffs, would you do that too (oh, wait, that’s cool lemmings).

87 Tony James 09.19.06 at 10:19 pm

Cool Lemmings? Wasn’t that a film with John Candy about an all-animal bobsled team…?

88 maymee 09.19.06 at 10:22 pm

The one on the left reminds me of Natalie Portman. It’s not a bad thing, they’re both cute and little.

I’m just saying, is all. *shrugs*

89 army_kitten 09.19.06 at 10:26 pm

90 Lauri 09.19.06 at 10:33 pm

*laughing really hard* Ok, now the one on the right really DOES look just like Johnny Depp. Good job, army kitten!

I just gotta say tho, why are thier tails all weird and bald on the end? I don’ unnerstan.

91 Lauri 09.19.06 at 10:34 pm

natalie portman! Yes, you are right, maymee!

92 Shannon L. 09.19.06 at 10:39 pm

This is one of those cases where a little strategic cropping would have helped, lol…

93 Shannon L. 09.19.06 at 10:41 pm

Natalie Portman, indeed!
Totally open this pic and compare the two side-by-side…

And ye didn’t save any puddin’s fer me, eitherrrrr.

(snorrrrgles TuxKit for solace)

96 hrhqueencat 09.19.06 at 10:55 pm

Meerkats never sit on their tails so the guy on the right is displaying his assets

100 JC 09.19.06 at 11:57 pm

that can’t be nad-ular, can it? Surely it’s a tail??? Scary!

101 julia2 09.20.06 at 12:04 am

Zap, uh, did your prof want a specimen of said piece of anatomy, or did he just share way tmi on his own personal desires?

102 army_kitten 09.20.06 at 12:37 am

yaaarrrr know, i coulda put some pants on the lil’ devils, but me heart just wasn’t in it to cover up the goods in the name o’ decency. arrrter all, these’re PIRATE MEERKATS! pirates aren’t known for their decency, mate.

;)

103 Chilli 09.20.06 at 12:46 am

A quick ‘nads story.

Down here in Oz there were a couple of TV presenters that owned a racing greyhound. They called it “Nads” just so they could cheer “GO NADS” everytime it ran the track.

104 army_kitten 09.20.06 at 12:47 am

…and this be what i learned in ARRRRRRRT school.

105 army_kitten 09.20.06 at 12:51 am

…photo-shippin’, i mean to say.

ye nads! i’ll be stoppin’ heyre with the tarrrrible puns, else i might be forced to walk the plank.

106 Pirate, no class Danielle 09.20.06 at 1:54 am

Arrrrgh! How Hakuna is his Matata?

107 TR1718 09.20.06 at 2:02 am

What’s wrong with you people? All male things have nads. They can’t simply tuck them away for convenience whenever some schmoe decides to photograph them. Quit acting like 5th graders.

Anyway, they’re adorable.

108 Connie 09.20.06 at 2:02 am

Might be called “naditude,” no? That HAS to be a tail.

109 Piggalette 09.20.06 at 2:53 am

Omg, I am crying right now from laughing so hard. Funny, funny stuff.

110 Kat 09.20.06 at 6:13 am

By the way everyone that is his tail you are looking at LOL. Meerkats keep it inside the body (as do rodents – are meerkats rodents??) it only comes out when they are mating.

111 angie 09.20.06 at 12:36 pm

bwahahaha, i don’t think i’ve ever laughed so hard at 8am. :D just the “show your nads” caption was enough to worry my co-workers, but then the comments!

nad-alie portman. lmao!

112 Jenne 09.20.06 at 1:49 pm

omg. ROFL.
I agree.. Nads does not equal cute.
But ROFL just the same..

113 lemura 09.20.06 at 2:52 pm

I ROFL and WOFLed like a puppy in a box of kittens.

Oh, my sides!!!!!

114 red_kira 09.20.06 at 4:27 pm

Yeah, the BIG one’s a tail… but look right above it! Is that… the Lindsay Lohan of Meerkats?!?!?

115 juliette 09.20.06 at 7:16 pm

Sarcasta – Thanks for the wicked WoW shoutout, from a proud 43 Night Elf Warrior.

116 TR1718 09.20.06 at 7:25 pm

Sarcasta – yes, thank you! Durotan for the win! [Madrigal - lv 21 nightelf druid]

117 WickedWendy 09.21.06 at 12:04 am

I hope that’s a tail, cuz the nads are on top of it!!! LOL

118 kristina 09.21.06 at 7:36 pm

hmm, anyone else creeped out by the grinning…? Forget the nads, stop looking at me like that…

119 Shalini 09.21.06 at 10:30 pm

It’s crazy how human their eyes look.

120 Brie 09.21.06 at 11:38 pm

MEERKATS!!!

Lovelovelove!

121 VaCKo 09.22.06 at 1:51 am

Actually, I think that’s a tail WITH a rock or something in front of it.

122 butteredtoast 09.23.06 at 1:35 am

they’re so fat… so0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0 cute

123 molly 09.23.06 at 4:03 pm

Wow is that ever fat and hairy….

124 laura 11.03.06 at 11:02 pm

Has anyone told Natalie Portman that she looks like the one on the left?

125 Erin 12.14.06 at 11:17 pm

THAT MADE ME SNORTLAUGH…maybe more the commentary than the picture, but really! Ha!!

126 derek 01.12.07 at 2:31 am
