Mini popsicles

by Meg on January 29, 2007

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.?

Pffwhtt.

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 01.29.07 at 8:09 am

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

4 cheryl 01.29.07 at 8:36 am

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 01.29.07 at 8:42 am

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

6 Subhangi 01.29.07 at 9:06 am

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

7 The Honourable Gladys Anstruther 01.29.07 at 9:35 am

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 01.29.07 at 9:36 am

A goat wearing a coat…pretty darned cute!

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

9 Kristi 01.29.07 at 9:50 am

This is officially my favoritest picture ever.

10 acelightning 01.29.07 at 9:56 am

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 01.29.07 at 11:17 am

Gaaaaaaahhhhggghhh! (head explodes from cuteness)

12 pendlerpiken 01.29.07 at 11:32 am

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

13 Peg of Tilling 01.29.07 at 12:04 pm

(Linus) Needs sugar. (end Linus)

14 Jessie 01.29.07 at 1:12 pm

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

15 Theo 01.29.07 at 1:13 pm

[head cocked sideways] …huh.

*Wow.*

16 88 01.29.07 at 1:15 pm

Cucumbers are good for you.

17 Wendy 01.29.07 at 1:46 pm

Sugarpie is a cutiepie for sure!

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

18 Catherine 01.29.07 at 2:00 pm

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

19 jaypo 01.29.07 at 2:12 pm

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

20 Redzilla 01.29.07 at 2:12 pm

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

21 Linda O'Neill 01.29.07 at 2:21 pm

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

22 Beauregard 01.29.07 at 2:26 pm

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

23 musicchick2 01.29.07 at 2:39 pm

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 01.29.07 at 2:44 pm

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

25 cass 01.29.07 at 2:55 pm

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. 01.29.07 at 3:03 pm

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

27 Patti 01.29.07 at 3:05 pm

ADORABLE!

28 Amy 01.29.07 at 3:15 pm

Sooo cute!

29 A thinker 01.29.07 at 3:23 pm

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

30 Laurie C 01.29.07 at 3:53 pm

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

31 rpennefe 01.29.07 at 4:00 pm

“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 01.29.07 at 4:30 pm

Laurie C — ;^)

33 Theo 01.29.07 at 4:41 pm

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 01.29.07 at 4:59 pm

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

35 carmen 01.29.07 at 5:21 pm

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

36 Noel 01.29.07 at 5:52 pm

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

A kid.

Oh my gosh, I’m a goat!

37 Theo 01.29.07 at 5:53 pm

…you’ve got to be kidding!

38 Denita TwoDragons 01.29.07 at 5:59 pm

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 01.29.07 at 7:30 pm

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

40 Theo 01.29.07 at 7:44 pm

…in habits?

41 DKN 01.29.07 at 7:53 pm

It’s the little things in life, folks…

This goat’s got it down.

42 Theo 01.29.07 at 8:06 pm

DKN — no no… the down’s over here:

43 A thinker 01.29.07 at 8:06 pm

LOL! Rabbits in habits.

Dogs in clogs

Cats (or rats) in spats

44 Theo 01.29.07 at 8:11 pm
45 A thinker 01.29.07 at 8:12 pm

Oh yes, I missed that one!

And my calling, apparently ;)

46 Theo 01.29.07 at 8:19 pm

How about meadow voles in camisoles?

47 A thinker 01.29.07 at 8:30 pm

LOL!!

…very good!

48 A thinker 01.29.07 at 8:31 pm

Termagants in pants…

49 A thinker 01.29.07 at 8:31 pm

Wait, that’s not an animal. Nevamind.

50 Theo 01.29.07 at 8:33 pm

hee

51 A thinker 01.29.07 at 8:33 pm

Let’s try:

Shrews in shoes

Ducks in tuxes

Mouses in blouses

52 Theo 01.29.07 at 8:45 pm

Cormorants in training pants.

53 Theo 01.29.07 at 8:45 pm

STOP ME NOW.

54 pyrit 01.29.07 at 8:48 pm

Llamas in pajamas.

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

55 Theo 01.29.07 at 8:50 pm

AIEEEEEEEGH

56 A thinker 01.29.07 at 8:53 pm

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

Termites in tights.

57 Theo 01.29.07 at 8:54 pm

One good tern deserves an otter.

Dinosaurs in pinafores.

61 A thinker 01.29.07 at 9:06 pm

AHA! Pyrit wins.

62 Theo 01.29.07 at 9:08 pm

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

63 A thinker 01.29.07 at 9:10 pm

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

64 A thinker 01.29.07 at 9:10 pm

How about…

Fleas on skis.

65 pyrit 01.29.07 at 9:13 pm

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

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

66 pyrit 01.29.07 at 9:14 pm

Oh, we’re doing ‘on’ now?

Hooters on computers.

As in owl!!!

67 Theo 01.29.07 at 9:15 pm

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

68 A thinker 01.29.07 at 9:16 pm

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 01.29.07 at 9:19 pm

Oi now!

70 A thinker 01.29.07 at 9:19 pm

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

Owls in cowls.

71 A thinker 01.29.07 at 9:20 pm

…and [ducks] from Teho’s wrath ;)

72 Theo 01.29.07 at 9:21 pm

(Theo’s brain in mortal pain)

73 Laurie C 01.29.07 at 9:22 pm

Ostriches in baggy britches.

74 pyrit 01.29.07 at 9:24 pm

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

Black widows in stilettos.

75 A thinker 01.29.07 at 9:24 pm

YAY!! Laurie C in on the fun ;)

76 Laurie C 01.29.07 at 9:25 pm

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

77 pyrit 01.29.07 at 9:27 pm

Teho’s in Tevas.

78 A thinker 01.29.07 at 9:28 pm

A snowshoe hare in underwear.

79 Theo 01.29.07 at 9:28 pm

Snakes… on a plane.

80 Laurie C 01.29.07 at 9:31 pm

I bet he in in the warmer weather, pyrit.

81 pyrit 01.29.07 at 9:31 pm

Gingrich newts in birthday suits.

82 Laurie C 01.29.07 at 9:31 pm

I mean *is*, in the warmer weather.

83 Theo 01.29.07 at 9:32 pm

Pyrit doesn’t win anymore.

84 A thinker 01.29.07 at 9:33 pm

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

85 Theo 01.29.07 at 9:36 pm

I’m betting more by *accident*

86 Laurie C 01.29.07 at 9:37 pm

Eew, pyrit, my eyes!

87 Laurie C 01.29.07 at 9:38 pm

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

88 pyrit 01.29.07 at 9:39 pm

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

Peeps in Jeeps.

89 pyrit 01.29.07 at 9:39 pm

Wearing cowboy boots.

90 A thinker 01.29.07 at 9:49 pm

Whahuh?

91 Laurie C 01.29.07 at 9:53 pm

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

92 Theo 01.29.07 at 9:57 pm

Pyrit –

(We gave this book to my sister at Christmas, to read to my li’l nephew, and he LOVES it.)

93 A thinker 01.29.07 at 9:59 pm

OK, if we’re on vehicles now:

Yaks in Cadillacs.

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

94 pyrit 01.29.07 at 10:07 pm

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 01.29.07 at 10:08 pm

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

I seem to have inadvertently said something inappropriate…

96 A thinker 01.29.07 at 10:08 pm

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

97 Theo 01.29.07 at 10:10 pm

Ask your mother.

108 pyrit 01.30.07 at 2:32 am

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 01.30.07 at 2:52 am

Oh. Hokay. Now I feels better :)

Ellies in wellies.

This is tewtallyyy why I LOVE this site!

St. Bernard in a leotard.

112 A thinker 01.30.07 at 3:15 am

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

113 pyrit 01.30.07 at 4:36 am

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 01.30.07 at 4:54 am

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

115 acelightning 01.30.07 at 6:24 am

Springboks in knee socks.
Llamas in pajamas.
Guinea pigs in powdered wigs.
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 01.30.07 at 7:25 am

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 01.30.07 at 1:09 pm

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 01.30.07 at 1:49 pm

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 01.30.07 at 3:37 pm

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 01.30.07 at 4:10 pm

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 01.30.07 at 4:44 pm

Zebras in Wonderbras (ok, it sort of works)

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

122 Theo 01.30.07 at 5:04 pm

Geeky Rottweilers with kernel compilers?

123 Theo 01.30.07 at 5:05 pm

…oh, and Zebras in Zubaz. Of course.

124 A thinker 01.30.07 at 5:33 pm

Rottweilers with hair stylers.

Rottweilers with nail filers.

Now, somebody stop *me*.

125 Theo 01.30.07 at 5:38 pm

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

126 zagbug 01.30.07 at 5:42 pm

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

127 Sir Real 01.30.07 at 6:12 pm

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

Tee hee.

128 Theo 01.30.07 at 6:39 pm

…surreal indeed

129 pyrit 01.30.07 at 8:19 pm

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 01.30.07 at 10:39 pm

Thoroughbreds in purple Keds.

131 Theo 01.30.07 at 10:43 pm

Shh, Thinker, they’re canoodling.

132 A thinker 01.30.07 at 11:34 pm

Oops.

[takes thoroughbred by the halter and quietly tiptoes out]

133 A thinker 01.30.07 at 11:35 pm

[thoroughbred is rather noisy due to Keds]

134 Theo 01.30.07 at 11:49 pm

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

135 A thinker 01.31.07 at 12:10 am

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

136 Brak_Silverbone 01.31.07 at 1:27 am

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 01.31.07 at 1:43 am

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

Kinda scary!

138 useta hada kitteh 01.31.07 at 1:59 am

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 01.31.07 at 5:40 am

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 01.31.07 at 2:03 pm

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

141 pyrit 01.31.07 at 2:13 pm

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 02.05.07 at 11:27 pm

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

143 Theo 02.05.07 at 11:33 pm

There’s something vaguely sad about that.

144 teresaa=] 06.21.07 at 11:39 pm
