Wot up, from P-Dizzawg

by Meg on March 19, 2007

Wot up, P-Dawg in the Zizzle (as in, I’m shoutin’ out from the SF ‘Zoo‘, Dudes)

Yep, gettin’ my poe-tay-toe on*. [Furiously eats and shreds]

Gotta go—I gotta hot date with a flamingo—we’re going to the Penguin feeding.

* I think that’s a potato!

More St. Patty’s day poe-tay-toes!

Aww! First the paws-up pup, now this…you’re killin’ me!

3 Laurie C 03.19.07 at 3:08 pm

He looks like an evil mastermind. Of course, they always get the tall, leggy girlfriends.

gnawm gnawm gnawm gnawm……good tater!!

5 A thinker 03.19.07 at 3:31 pm

Tiny, spikey hands and BEF…

I think there must be some kind of hands-to-head cuteness ratio factor going on here.

6 jaypo 03.19.07 at 3:32 pm

He looks like an earless bunny with giant claws. Cute? Scary? I’d be scared if I were a potato.

the cutest thing about this post:

ZIZZLE!

9 Redzilla 03.19.07 at 4:06 pm

This is one of those hoity-toity potato connoisseurs. He’s nibbling, nibbling, now sniffing. “Mmm…yes, this Yukon Gold is a little woody, but crisp.”

10 ask-god-a-question.com 03.19.07 at 4:12 pm

The potato is in the shape of a human heart

I’m going with the potato/carbs theory.

So, what about his African cousin, the carbo-hydrax?*

Yo, ’sup yo’self, mah lil’ bruthuh?

14 Theo 03.19.07 at 4:39 pm

“Carbo-”… oh GROAN…

15 viola 03.19.07 at 5:10 pm

I think that’s actually a gesture of offering.
He’s saying, “I geev thees to you – for me, pleese, a latke!”

16 Subhangi 03.19.07 at 5:17 pm

Aubrey – Hyraxes are relatives of the elephant. Are they related to prairie dogs too?

17 Lisa 03.19.07 at 5:31 pm

I live in San Francisco and I absolutely love the zoo! Great source for cuteness.

18 Aubrey 03.19.07 at 6:28 pm

SubH:

Hydraxes kind of look like a combination of prairie dog and puppeh…I couldn’t find a good picture; if you click on the link the first pix on the left is a hydrax.

19 Cat-astrophe 03.19.07 at 6:53 pm

What about the South American relative – the Carby-bara?

poe-tay-toe dee-lee-cee-ous
on the go nutritious
it’s just so judicious
not at all pernicious,
seditious or suspicious,
superstitious, surreptitious!
only judicious and Propitious
this is repetitious
getting factitious.
so adieu tasty tater
adieu

22 ka9q's wife 03.19.07 at 7:21 pm

ack meant to add
*chews furiously and swallows last shred of tasty tater*

23 Theo 03.19.07 at 7:24 pm

[clears throat]
[squinches up face]

“Taters? What’s taters, precious?”

24 ka9q's wife 03.19.07 at 7:31 pm

it’s that thing you bake before bed time, wrap in a clean towel and put in the pockets of your jammies to keep your hands warm then have hash browns for breakfast.

At least that is how we do it.

25 Aubrey 03.19.07 at 7:49 pm

T., please – don’t be carbo-hatin’.

26 MLS 03.19.07 at 8:04 pm

IT IS A MUSHROOOOOOM.

27 Courtney 03.19.07 at 8:18 pm

P-Dizzawg, hee hee!

I love the shape of prairie dogs, with their little black whiskers/hairs sticking up everywhere. They’re my favorite exhibit at the zoo (unless the zoo has meerkats!).

28 pyrit 03.19.07 at 8:21 pm

ka9q’s wife – Whoo oh wow, Hon, you sprained my brain!
I think you must like potatoes as much as…Winston!

29 Lizzy 03.19.07 at 8:29 pm

What’s taters is?

Po-tay-toes po-tay-toes

Boil ‘em mash ‘em stick ‘em in a stew

boil ‘em boil ‘em boil ‘em

I thought I recognized this fella! I allllways visit the prairie folk when I go to the zoo. And of course watch them for hours. :)

30 Cat-astrophe 03.19.07 at 8:41 pm

It’s really arid in the desert – I hope this little guy remembers that it’s important to stay carbo-hydrated!

31 DKN 03.19.07 at 9:08 pm

This reminds me of my favorite ecard EVER.

I hope this works, enjoy:

32 DKN 03.19.07 at 9:09 pm

Haha! Yes it worked. So flipping funny!

33 ka9q's wife 03.19.07 at 9:48 pm

Actually pyrit not so much. Every once in a while i will eat potato but i like rice much better. Of course homemade potato soup with onion and cheese and bacon. Now that is to die for.

34 yvonne 03.19.07 at 9:49 pm

check out those hands

35 Tor 03.19.07 at 11:32 pm

Ok, here’s my problem. Is the potato tiny or the creature giant? Should I be awwwwing — or shuffling backward nervously ’bout now? I mean, those *claws*! Hooklets or scimitars??

Good thing I don’t live in SF any more. Don’t know if I could sleep after all this trauma.

36 Amelia 03.20.07 at 1:33 am

Aw, I work there! I’ll have to say hi to the little guy tomorrow.

37 Lizzy 03.20.07 at 2:06 am

Yay Amelia! Another San Franciscan. I’m a freak in that I’m 7th-generation native… yeah, nuts.

38 SeaBreeze 03.20.07 at 5:27 am

Potato? Hmmm, mebbe. But there seems to be a little root action on whatever is being snarfed upon. Whatever this fella is munching on, he/she is seriously CUTE! =)

PS: out in the wild, bunbuns will often live in the midst of prairie dog towns. Even though they don’t pay as much attention to the prairie dog early warning radar system as the prairie dogs do.

39 tomahto 03.20.07 at 5:57 am

aww, I took a picture of a prarie dog there too:

40 liz 03.20.07 at 9:28 am

@DKN….
“is our mummy in there?”
“we gotta eat her out!”

Am I the only one that noticed that?

41 DKN 03.20.07 at 12:16 pm

Yes liz, I noticed it. but I had to pull my mind out of the gutter for two seconds for the sake of humor and cuteness.

42 anner 03.20.07 at 12:36 pm

liz & DKN – it’s kind of alarming that nobody caught that…does that mean our minds are in the gutter, or that they left it in to f*** with people?

43 ebee 03.20.07 at 1:07 pm

I think it’s some kind of bulb or an onion…lookit the shredded rings he’s holding. And Seabreeze is right, there are roots or something attached.

44 DKN 03.20.07 at 1:19 pm

Anner I think they left it in to mess with people. That Hoops and Yoyo, they are total pervs. :)

Anyway, that is still the funniest ecard ever, imo.

45 Dagger 03.20.07 at 4:14 pm

haha! if you look up but keep you head in the same place, it looks like he’s liking dee po-ta-to! lqtm

46 hrh.squeak 03.20.07 at 6:57 pm

He looks like he’s solving Rubik’s Root to me.

47 ask-god-a-question.com 03.21.07 at 12:45 am

on second thought, it’s more than likely a potato’s heart

48 Ligeia 03.21.07 at 4:50 pm

Ummm I’m thinking that looks more like a snail than a potato…
