BLEEEEEEN!!!!

Can someone hey-splain to me what ‘Bleen’ means? I have no idea!

It’s like C.O.-speak for ‘first’—but how did it come about?

To the Glossary!

Joke one: “You…. want me to get in THAT? But it’s gonna be cold!”

Joke two: “Oh, hi there! I made you some ice for your party!”

7 R. Moore 07.22.07 at 11:37 pm

I love the little paw pointing at the ice.

I just love otters, though. And it’s hot out, so the ice is pretty appealing, too.

19 leannrose 07.23.07 at 12:28 am

He’s adorable alright, but he looks kind of rubbery to me. Maybe that’s just ’cause he’s little and doesn’t have his full coat yet? I still wanna hold him and squeeze him and pet him….

20 Shannon Johnson 07.23.07 at 12:30 am

I otter get you good for making me squeal *squeal* with delight at seeing the otter.

21 jen 07.23.07 at 12:32 am

a cutie by any otter name would be just as cute.

22 juv3nal 07.23.07 at 12:32 am

this many comments in and no one’s made an otter pop (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Otter_Pops) reference yet?

23 michellemybelle 07.23.07 at 12:40 am

I love this term from the article: “howdy era.” I hope Odie and Gwynivere fall madly in otter love!

24 Dale 07.23.07 at 12:40 am

Absolut Otter.

25 metsakins 07.23.07 at 12:46 am

I believe the otter is trying to get us all drunk so he can take advantage of us with his evil plans

don’t drink it, who knows what he put in the drink!!!

26 Yitzysmommie 07.23.07 at 12:51 am

YM runs in, plants a kees on that superb nosicle and runs out again giggling.

27 Catherine 07.23.07 at 1:22 am

When someone asks about “bleen”, why doesn’t someone answer? Doesn’t anyone know? Someone said it and we sheep follow along?

29 Brie 07.23.07 at 1:40 am

Odie is so cute! I’m glad that family didn’t just leave him there.

30 acelightning 07.23.07 at 1:49 am

I had a friend a long time ago who was “otterly” mad about otters. In fact, that expression looks sort of familiar… Marjie, did you finally manage to come back as an otter after all?

31 fish eye no miko 07.23.07 at 2:20 am

firefinch said: “Hermione’s Patronus!”

I almost mentioned that, myself…
So what’s he doing, protecting her from the ice? ^_^

So where am I s’posed ta’ swim then, huh? *looks to the left, looks to the right, looks straight at camera* Otter-tini’s? You want me to DRINK that stuff?? My Momma wouldn’t-a-liked ‘dis!”

48 Valerie J. 07.23.07 at 3:20 am

OMG! I feel like a rock star! When I submitted it I was thinking more like, “Hey Guys, I bought a whole 24 pack of Pabst and I never got to drink ONE!!” But Otter-tinis are so much more sophisticated! :)

49 bats :[ 07.23.07 at 3:21 am

Otter noses just slay me…

50 Redzilla 07.23.07 at 3:23 am

Shaken, not gyrated please. Please, I’m begging you, don’t let a few martinis lead to the otter bump n grind.

51 Kelli 07.23.07 at 3:25 am

Odie, you are too cute! I am very glad you were rescued.

Plus you can shake it better than most people I know!

52 pyrit 07.23.07 at 3:42 am

Allo, moi noim iz Hairy P. Otter, an’ apparently, Oi am Hermione’s Patronus!

53 lurkertype 07.23.07 at 3:56 am

Isn’t he too young to be mixing up the Ottertinis?

Well, with that moist nosicle and those whiskers… go ahead!

54 Annie 07.23.07 at 4:05 am

Catherine no one answered cause it was Meg the one and only. she was being funny.

anyway Bleen is cause Theo our beloved moderator hates when you say first on the first post. so we all go bleen instead and if you say first he will change it to say bleen unless you make a very witty post incorporating the word first. of course this is difficult to do as you are trying to beat everyone else who is trying to be the first post.

Snicker… and it makes for some way more interesting first posts.

People,
Thanks to a 47-page email fro Theo (bless hees heart) I think I fully understand what “Bleen” means—I swear I wasn’t sure!!! Theo has a great explanation, and I feel like I’m one of the crowd again. Now, if ONLY I could get him to post his explanation on the Glossary!?

XO,

Is my memory going because of advanced old age but can’t ice water be colder than just plain ice? Or does it just seem colder or Did I just do too many drugs back in the hippy days. Wait I was a punker not a hippy. Back in the punker days.

81 divine ms k 07.23.07 at 2:29 pm

“Odie was found in February by a family in Tyler [TX] as he nestled against his dead mother.”

*WAAAAAAAH* Poor lil’ otter!!

82 pat_the_bunny 07.23.07 at 2:36 pm

That shiny, black, and rather prominent nosicle,

I must beep eet.

83 ThreeCatNight 07.23.07 at 2:39 pm

Otterly sweet, but an underage drinker!

86 guineapiggin9 07.23.07 at 3:22 pm

I love the look on his face. It seems to say “Lookee wat I got…I got ice…U want some??”

87 Miss Ruth 07.23.07 at 3:29 pm

Awwwww!
He’s otterly adorable. He’s all like “huh?”
And such a sad little story. I’m so glad he got rescued.

88 Mook 07.23.07 at 3:37 pm

Barkeep – skip the olive juice – make mine with otter, thanks!

89 Catherine 07.23.07 at 3:53 pm

I’ll pass on the drink; perhaps anotter time, anotter place.

90 Miss Ruth 07.23.07 at 3:53 pm

Or I should say “utterly ottorable”

91 Posh Tater 07.23.07 at 5:34 pm

Pyrit, your Otter appears to have a Brooklyn accent, surely?!!! Either that or he’s as British as Dick van Dyke!

(I can see the British thing in the posture though, don’t get me wrong…. waiting for the 8.02 to Waterloo, The Times tucked under one arm, bowler hat in hand…)

92 Candace 07.23.07 at 5:35 pm

ooooooo! Otter’s aren’t evil! They are adorable and know how to make lovely martinis.

93 Candace 07.23.07 at 5:39 pm

Oh! I just read his story! So sad! I like the part about him having sleep overs with the staff. Poor little dude. I want to kiss his little nose and make it all better.

94 a different Laura 07.23.07 at 6:07 pm

I wonder if they made popcorn and told ghost stories and played truth-or-dare at the otter sleepovers.

95 Holly 07.23.07 at 6:10 pm

Cutest dang thing I’ve EVER seen.

96 kaly 07.23.07 at 6:10 pm

at the texas state aquarium i got to meet odie!!! i just thought odie was so cute when i first saw him. We heard his story at sea camp and we all felt sooo bad for him. I saw him on this website and thought OMG this is odie!!!

97 Arvay 07.23.07 at 6:20 pm

He looks to me like he is saying, “Surely you don’t want me to get in there? It looks cold!”

98 A 07.23.07 at 7:34 pm

you expect me to jump in that? hell no.

99 Patrick 07.23.07 at 9:06 pm

Otters are my favorite animals in general (with honorable mentions to dogs, prairie dogs, squirrels, hedgehogs, and other critters with moist nosicles).

Odie is the cutest creature ever featured on this site. I have forwarded him all over the place now.

I too was thrilled to learn in HP a while back that Hermione’s Patronus was an otter. I believe JKR said in an interview that her patronus would be an otter, and that’s why Hermione’s is.

And if Odie were willing, I think he could star in an all-animal version of Hairy Otter and the Bucket of Ice.

100 sunnymum 07.23.07 at 9:21 pm

OMG they found him “nestled against his dead mother.” Sad start for the guy. But soon this cutie patootie will be swimmin’ with Gwynivere, a nice female otter at the same place! The ear to head ratio and the mouf are killing me!

101 HeidStar 07.23.07 at 9:23 pm

Actually Step Four would appear to be what the curator of marine mammals and birds at the Texas State Aquarium euphemistically (and VERY amusingly) calls “the howdy era with Gwynivere.” *hic*

102 Audrey 07.24.07 at 1:59 am
