Mini popsicles

We’re just a skooooosh tongue-centric today. Lil’ goat "SugarPie" discovered flying snowflakes and is testing them out. Sugarpie’s all: ‘Lurp, lurp’

Deeleesh_flakage_1

Can you see in the birdhouse behind SugarPie, there is a boid ramping up a mini snow cone business? Each snow cone would have to have a perfect bit of bird seed on top. Right Sarah H.?

  2. holli says:

    That bird is ramping up mini-snowcones! I hope that’s what he’s dropping in the air.

    They are so perfectly round and cute. He’s obviously an organizer!

  3. eikoleigh says:

    Too cute – He looks like he’s totally trying to catch snowflakes on his little tongue…! Precious.

  4. cheryl says:

    OMG. absolutely perfectly undeniably cute! the kid’s like, “look, ma, i’m catching snowflakes on my tongue!” and sugarpie! what a great goat name! squeeee! oh, and talk about coinkydinks, NYC got its first more-than-a-dusting snow tonight! come on, sugarpie, let’s make a snowgoat!

  5. Aubrey says:

    This kid’s lapping up those flakes like they’re sugar-goated!

  6. Subhangi says:

    LOL!!! He looks like he’s saying ‘thppppp’ to the snowflakes!

  7. The Honourable Gladys Anstruther says:

    My God I was doing the snowflake thing last Wednesday on the way to work. Does this mean I am a reincarnation of a Goat!

  8. Deb says:

    A goat wearing a coat…pretty darned cute!

    I believe those “sno-cones” are in actuality a fence.

  9. Kristi says:

    This is officially my favoritest picture ever.

  10. acelightning says:

    Gotta love the goat-sweater! I wonder if this green sweater has anything to do with the green sweater on the kitten from last week? And if he were an angora goat (I know he’s not), wouldn’t he already be wearing an angora sweater?

    Oh, and there are few taste treats as elusive but delightful as snowflakes on one’s tongue…

  11. Jan says:

    Gaaaaaaahhhhggghhh! (head explodes from cuteness)

  12. pendlerpiken says:

    oooo!
    I love goaties! I want one in my garden (when I get a garden)…

  13. (Linus) Needs sugar. (end Linus)

  14. Jessie says:

    This is just entirely too cute. Props to Meg for always finding the unconventional cuteness. : )

  15. Theo says:

    [head cocked sideways] …huh.

    *Wow.*

  16. 88 says:

    Cucumbers are good for you.

  17. Wendy says:

    Sugarpie is a cutiepie for sure!

    Baby goats are the cutest things. Adult goats, not so much.

  18. Catherine says:

    He looks like he’s giving everyone the “neener neener” look.

  19. jaypo says:

    A goatie in a coatie! Cute cute cute! The snow slurpage is “Sugar” on the cone.

  20. Redzilla says:

    No, Sugarpie, no! Don’t stick your tongue on the corral post! D’oh! Too late.

  21. Sugar Pie is the sweetest thing…he started off the week just right!

  22. Beauregard says:

    Oh he is just so soft and lovely looking. I really wish I could pet heem!

  23. musicchick2 says:

    OK…fess up! How many of you stuck your tongue back out at the goat when you saw this pic?? Huh? Huh? *raises hand, looks around sheepishly for others*

  24. Theo says:

    MC2 — I’ll do it, but only because you suggest it.
    [raises hand goatishly]

  25. cass says:

    Eeee – Goat! There aren’t enough cute goat pictures in the world. Square pupils for the win.

    Maybe I should try and dig out the pictures of my kids. I’m pretty sure I have at least one goat-in-a-diaper pic somwhere.

  26. Tracy M. says:

    AIEEEEEE! I want a goat that licks snowflakes! :D

  27. Patti says:

    ADORABLE!

  28. Amy says:

    Sooo cute!

  29. A thinker says:

    Methinks this is a mini, rather than a baby, goat. And he’s wearing a GoatCoat(TM)! Never seen that before.

  30. Laurie C says:

    Teho, love how you’re tidying up the place.

  31. rpennefe says:

    “If all the snowflakes
    were Hershey bars and milkshakes,
    oh what a snow it would be!
    I’d stand outside with my mouth open wide going
    eh-eheh-eh eheh-eh eheh-eh.
    If all the snowflakes
    were Hershey bars and milkshakes,
    oh what a snow it would be!”

    Sing it, Sugarpie! Sing it!

  32. Theo says:

    Laurie C — ;^)

  33. Theo says:

    RPenn — or how ’bout this?

    Sugar Pie, Honey Bunch
    I’m saucer-eyed and chilly
    I can’t help myself
    What is this stuff that’s falling on me?

    Wanna tell me maaa it scares me
    Hide inside my hut, and I’ve tried
    But when I catch one on my tongue
    I get all goofy inside

  34. Shannon says:

    What a awesome pic. For some reason I think its just a beautiful shot. How alike we all are, animals and humans.

  35. carmen says:

    this is to much! ackk, falls out of chair, poink!

  36. Noel says:

    This reminds me of what I used to do as a kid.

    A kid.

    Oh my gosh, I’m a goat!

  37. Theo says:

    …you’ve got to be kidding!

  38. My son caught schnee flakes on his tongue for the first time a couple weeks ago. He looked just like this goat…but with less hair and rounder pupils. ;-)

  39. Tiberia says:

    Yey! More goats (w/ or w/o coats) please! They’re almost as cool as rabbits…

  40. Theo says:

    …in habits?

  41. DKN says:

    It’s the little things in life, folks…

    This goat’s got it down.

  42. Theo says:

    DKN — no no… the down’s over here:

    LOL! Rabbits in habits.

    Dogs in clogs

    Cats (or rats) in spats

  44. Theo says:
  45. A thinker says:

    Oh yes, I missed that one!

    And my calling, apparently ;)

  46. Theo says:

    How about meadow voles in camisoles?

  47. A thinker says:

    LOL!!

    …very good!

  48. A thinker says:

    Termagants in pants…

  49. A thinker says:

    Wait, that’s not an animal. Nevamind.

  50. Theo says:

    hee

  51. A thinker says:

    Let’s try:

    Shrews in shoes

    Ducks in tuxes

    Mouses in blouses

  52. Theo says:

    Cormorants in training pants.

  53. Theo says:

    STOP ME NOW.

  54. pyrit says:

    Llamas in pajamas.

    (And, silly me, I thought the *goat* was a little flakey.)

  55. Theo says:

    AIEEEEEEEGH

  56. A thinker says:

    I think “cormorant” was what I was going for with termagant. Thanks, Teho.

    Termites in tights.

  57. Theo says:

    One good tern deserves an otter.

  61. A thinker says:

    AHA! Pyrit wins.

  62. Theo says:

    Dangit! And here I was about to suggest Tony Dorsett in a whalebone corset, too…

  63. A thinker says:

    Teehee! You guys are providing my daily quotient of belly laughs, anyway.

  64. A thinker says:

    How about…

    Fleas on skis.

  65. pyrit says:

    Too easy but, apes in capes. The mental imagery.

    A thinker, (shaking finger) that’s a vewy bad game you started.

  66. pyrit says:

    Oh, we’re doing ‘on’ now?

    Hooters on computers.

    As in owl!!!

  67. Theo says:

    Pyrit — in *this* case, I think the game was well afoot before Thinkie showed up. See Tiberia’s comment, upthread.

  68. A thinker says:

    I think it was Teho who started it. But it is fun. It is providing some amusement and distraction from what I’m supposed to be doing ;)

  69. Theo says:

    Oi now!

  70. A thinker says:

    Oh, and while we’re on habits and capes, how about:

    Owls in cowls.

  71. A thinker says:

    …and [ducks] from Teho’s wrath ;)

  72. Theo says:

    (Theo’s brain in mortal pain)

  73. Laurie C says:

    Ostriches in baggy britches.

  74. pyrit says:

    See, I had copyright concerns about the cowl thing; turtleneck; like zebra.

    Black widows in stilettos.

  75. A thinker says:

    YAY!! Laurie C in on the fun ;)

  76. Laurie C says:

    Peacocks in droopy socks.
    (This could be a picture book.)

  77. pyrit says:

    Teho’s in Tevas.

  78. A thinker says:

    A snowshoe hare in underwear.

    (Any illustrators in here?)

  79. Theo says:

    Snakes… on a plane.

  80. Laurie C says:

    I bet he in in the warmer weather, pyrit.

  81. pyrit says:

    Gingrich newts in birthday suits.

  82. Laurie C says:

    I mean *is*, in the warmer weather.

  83. Theo says:

    Pyrit doesn’t win anymore.

  84. A thinker says:

    Don’t newts come in birthday suits, by default?

  85. Theo says:

    I’m betting more by *accident*

  86. Laurie C says:

    Eew, pyrit, my eyes!

  87. Laurie C says:

    Tiny newts in pinstripe suits.
    (There, that’s better.)

  88. pyrit says:

    A thinker – (the look)
    Thanks Theo – I dint wanna touch that one.

    Peeps in Jeeps.

  89. pyrit says:

    Wearing cowboy boots.

  90. A thinker says:

    Whahuh?

  91. Laurie C says:

    Thinkie, pinstrip suits and cowboys boots. (Look waaay up, as the Friendly Giant used to say.)

  92. Theo says:

    Pyrit –
    http://www.amazon.com/Sheep-Jeep-Nancy-E-Shaw/dp/039586786X
    (We gave this book to my sister at Christmas, to read to my li’l nephew, and he LOVES it.)

  93. A thinker says:

    OK, if we’re on vehicles now:

    Yaks in Cadillacs.

    (btw, Teho, that is one of my all-time favourite books).

  94. pyrit says:

    A thinker – If it’s, ‘the look’, you are whahuhing to; it was the school-marm-down-the-nose-over-pince nez ‘look’. ;-)

  95. A thinker says:

    But what did I get it *for*? This is what’s puzzling me.

    I seem to have inadvertently said something inappropriate…

  96. A thinker says:

    I have a guess, but if it’s correct, it’s probably best left unexplained…

  97. Theo says:

    Ask your mother.

  103. musicchick2 says:

    Collies with lollies (as in lolly pops)

    Kittens in mittens

    Labs in cabs?

    An Ox in socks?

  104. e^pii says:

  105. useta hada kitteh says:

    I think there was/were cats in spats waaaaaay up yonder.

    elephants in stripy pants

    bowsers in trousers

    gnus in shoes

    alligators in new hip waders

  107. useta hada kitteh says:

    oops, geese in fleece was already up there. I din’t mean ta copy!

  108. pyrit says:

    A thinker -
    “I seem to have inadvertently said something inappropriate…”

    Not really.

    I think we got too silly since it was CO Happy Hour when we read your,
    “Don’t newts come in birthday suits, by default?”
    (giggling)
    Thazza great line.

  109. A thinker says:

    Oh. Hokay. Now I feels better :)

    Ellies in wellies.

  110. Jacklyn says:

    This is tewtallyyy why I LOVE this site!

  111. pyrit says:

    St. Bernard in a leotard.

  112. A thinker says:

    G’night. I’m giving up on this madness for now.

  113. pyrit says:

    Hey, … … … who’s gonna help me get all these clothes and animals put away? Look at this. I can’t catch a shrew! So. many. birds. That ostrich needs a belt. What are the ox and yak doing? Whose spandex is this? (checking label) I’ll just leave the newt.

  114. Caitlin says:

    awwwwhh! Goats are my favorite! I love goat kisses. :)

    Malamutes in bathing suits.
    Harbor seals in five-inch heels.

    (You’re all welcome to experiment to find out which will shut me up – chocolate pudding, or creme brulee?)

  116. pendlerpiken says:

    See, this is why the time difference ruins all the fun. I leave my computer, only to find that a party has been happening while I was asleep.

    Oh, and malamutes in track suits.

  117. useta hada kitteh says:

    I don’t really want to shut you up, acelightning, I just feel like flingin’ some puddin’. Cho’late puddins comin’ at ya! (only it’s morning now, and you’re not here, so the cho’late puddin will just have to hover in cyberspace until you show up, and then….splat!)

    um, pyrit, you missed one when you were putting all the animals and clothes away…

    angora cats in fedora hats

  118. pyrit says:

    Oh no.

    Komodos in kimonos.

    useta – (whiiisper) thx 4, y’no, the tip, abt y’no who.
    I don’t even wanna know how u knew i is f.

    Pelicans in Ray Bans.
    Lemurs in jodhpurs.
    Deep Sea Basses in sunglasses.

  119. A thinker says:

    Wow. Pyrit, you sure has some brain. I am left flabbergasted by your creativity. What do you *do* all day long, anyway?

  120. useta hada kitteh says:

    pyrit (whiiiisper back): it’s maaaagic. or it’s email addresses. your choice.

    and Thinkie’s right, you sure have some brain. Do you think up the animal first or the article of clothing? I kept thinking of animals that didn’t rhyme with anything. Can you do anything with zebra or rottweiler?

  121. A thinker says:

    Zebras in Wonderbras (ok, it sort of works)

    I’ll get back to you on Rottweiler. Unless pyrit gets there first.

  122. Theo says:

    Geeky Rottweilers with kernel compilers?

  123. Theo says:

    …oh, and Zebras in Zubaz. Of course.

  124. A thinker says:

    Rottweilers with hair stylers.

    Rottweilers with nail filers.

    Now, somebody stop *me*.

  125. Theo says:

    Well, I could always close the comments… but I don’ wanna.

  126. zagbug says:

    Sugarpie I love you! You made it to my desktop, EvEn!

  127. Sir Real says:

    Said Schuyler:
    “‘Twill beguile-er
    if a pile-er
    Rottweilers wear corsets with hook n’ eylers.”

    Tee hee.

  128. Theo says:

    …surreal indeed

  129. pyrit says:

    Hey Peeps, Usually Tue. is laundry day but we got invited out to play today instead so I’m just back. Saw all the new posts and will save ‘em for later when I have more time. Checked Sugarpie (I’m usually such a responsible sort) and, oh okayyy…

    useta – I, too, thought of “mousers in trousers”, and bowsers in trousers. Next time, listen to your inner voice when it says, ‘meh’! GAH! ;-)

    ace – llamas in pajamas – helloooo-oo. Little wavey hand.

    We can’t use zebras, or turtlenecks, they will sue us. Any animal with articles of clothing already in the name.

    A thinker – Thank you. What do I do all day? Watch the horizon I guess.

    useta – The animals and clothing, it’s like trying to find a lid to fit your Tupperware. Keep digging around.

    Rottweilers – Must be German clothing that rhymes?

    Rottweilers in Argylers.

    Some words rhyme at the beginning or middle.

    Corgis in corduroy.
    Macaques in kahki.

    Now, be gone. Sir Real and I need some time alone, together.

  130. A thinker says:

    Thoroughbreds in purple Keds.

  131. Theo says:

    Shh, Thinker, they’re canoodling.

  132. A thinker says:

    Oops.

    [takes thoroughbred by the halter and quietly tiptoes out]

  133. A thinker says:

    [thoroughbred is rather noisy due to Keds]

  134. Theo says:

    Whuhh? So why are they called “sneakers,” then?

  135. A thinker says:

    Hmm. Lemme ponder that one and get back to you.

  136. Brak_Silverbone says:

    Goat!!

    Laurie C is my hero ’cause she remembers the Friendly Giant too! (And here’s a rocking chair, if any of you would like to rock.)

  137. Tiberia says:

    Rottweilers….ok, it’s not clothing, but how about “Rottweilers in hang gliders”?

    Kinda scary!

  138. useta hada kitteh says:

    Brak Silverbone — and here’s another chair for two more to curl up in.

    I think I’d like to go and live in a bookbag in a castle for a while. Seems a peaceful sort of life… (and the recorder music starts in, with “early one morning, just as the sun was rising…”)

    And thanks, everyone, for all the rottweiler rhymes! Who knew rotties could have so many different things rhymed with them.

  139. acelightning says:

    useta – mmm, chocolate cyberpudding for my midnight snack!

    pyrit – there have been several duplicates already. Besides, I’m usually posting in the middle of the night.

    Sugar gliders in TopSiders.
    Ibex in Spandex.
    Woodpeckers in frilly knickers.

    (Okay… time to go eat the cyberpudding…)

  140. pyrit says:

    Huh what happened. Oh my I think I swooned. Hope I didn’t do anything silly, like canoodling and such.

  141. pyrit says:

    acelightning –
    “In the middle of the night,
    You go typing like a Peep
    Through the pictures of the Cute
    To the comments so deep
    We all get the notion
    We all heart the theme
    We’re all carried along
    By the river of dreams
    In the middle of the night

  142. Sir Real says:

    Pyrit – s’ok, I think I passed out as well.

  143. Theo says:

    There’s something vaguely sad about that.
