You can pick your friends…

…you can pick your nose,

but you can’t pick your friend’s nose
 
or…can you? [shifty eyes]

Perhaps this might be an entry into the new “Cute, or Gross?” category?

2 AmyH 07.05.07 at 8:05 pm

Ouch. I’ll pick my own nose, thank you very much.

3 RJ 07.05.07 at 8:05 pm

Woof! Can’t decide… Cute? or Gross?… Hmmm…. Thinking….

4 leannrose 07.05.07 at 8:07 pm

Ooh, this is the closest I’ve ever come to bleening!

As for the picture…yeah, I agree with AmyH–that looks like it might hurt! (Though the sheep looks like he’s smiling.)

5 Eastie 07.05.07 at 8:07 pm

Hahahaha!! That’s great! I hope the birdie is gentle though. That could hurt.

6 Cassandra 07.05.07 at 8:07 pm

I’m all for cute, look at the happy faces! A little boogie never hurt anyone (claims backed up by 4-year-olds worldwide)

7 frau_im_mond 07.05.07 at 8:09 pm

Educational tidbit:
“The female sheep nose bot fly deposits living larvae (maggots) in the nostrils of sheep. The larvae migrate to the head sinuses and, after development, migrate back down the nasal passages, dropping to the ground where they complete development to the adult form.”

Now that’s JUST GROSS!

8 Bunnie 07.05.07 at 8:10 pm

Shouldn’t this also be included in Interspecies Snorgling?

9 Cutles 07.05.07 at 8:10 pm

That’s what happens when you don’t have fingers, people.

10 Hobbit 07.05.07 at 8:10 pm

EWWWW!!!!

11 jaypo 07.05.07 at 8:11 pm

have to agree with Amy! A beak up the nose might hurt, but obvy this sheep is all for it!!

12 trin 07.05.07 at 8:12 pm

The bird is obviously a Ewe, Nose and Throat specialist…

& covered by the flock’s HMO.

13 newlee 07.05.07 at 8:14 pm

sheepie be smilin’ and thinkin’….”ahhhhhhh, better than decongestants, nose drops, those adhesive strip thingys….”

14 Metz 07.05.07 at 8:19 pm

Awww man, Hobbit said it first….oh wells.

EWWWWWEEEEEEEEEE!

15 ThreeCatNight 07.05.07 at 8:20 pm

Eeew! Ewe!
Lamb cooties!
What’s next — lamb belly lint photos? Have you no decency at all? (must get out the Pepto Bismol; my stomach can’t take it!)

16 TFMS 07.05.07 at 8:25 pm

Ewe got a cliffhanger there… GOT IT!

17 mm 07.05.07 at 8:28 pm

Cutles: That’s what happens when you don’t have fingers, people.

That made me LOL!!! Sad but true.

18 Lori 07.05.07 at 8:30 pm

Holy Crow!!!

19 JT 07.05.07 at 8:36 pm

zomg, I had no idea that people remembered this SNL skit! as usual, brilliant referencing, Megsters.

20 Candace 07.05.07 at 8:45 pm

Trin,
That was hilarious! Ewe, nose and throat. Ha.

21 zeldapie 07.05.07 at 8:54 pm

This picture made me sneeze!

22 CuteBabyFix.com 07.05.07 at 8:58 pm

sHEEP! aRE cEEYOOOTE!
(dang capslock)here’s some sheep, Check it:
http://cutebabyfix.com/2007/03/31/pssst-mamma/
Loves me some sheep!
As for the crow, where are the nuffers to go on about nasal cruelty and the like?

23 Rumi 07.05.07 at 9:00 pm

I’m pretty sure this is a symbiotic relationship, peoples — the sheep gets rid of some parasites, and the crow gets din-din. :)

24 Deanna McDonald 07.05.07 at 9:07 pm

I’m glad I’m not a bird!

25 liz 07.05.07 at 9:21 pm

what the heck!
Cow’s eat road kill!
then crow sticks road kill beak up sheepie nose and….. i threw up a little there. Cant look at the photo again.
i may lose my pop-tart lunch. weak stomach.
ugh…

26 Angela 07.05.07 at 9:22 pm

You guys think that maybe the crow is putting something in there, instead of removing?

Maybe some money. Jewelry. Baby photos. Yknow, valuables.

Cuz really, who’s gonna look in a sheep’s nose? I won’t. And I’m DESPERATE to steal from crows.

27 Jennie 07.05.07 at 9:27 pm

UUUUERRRGGGGHHHHHH.

28 amanda 07.05.07 at 9:32 pm

uh…do we have that cute or gross category yet??

29 Theress 07.05.07 at 9:43 pm

I can hear my Mom’s voice: “Going mining for gold in there? Find anything valuable?”

30 Manda 07.05.07 at 9:53 pm

Hilarious, Angela.
“And I’m DESPERATE to steal from crows”
HA!
They DO like shiny things…their nests are probably treasure troves. But I think Theress is right. He’s minin in there. For some tasty gold :-)

31 ceyshe' 07.05.07 at 10:03 pm

Q: cute or groos?
A: eets gross!

32 AmyH 07.05.07 at 10:24 pm

Manda’s comment reminds me of Bob & Doug MacKenzie’s Great White North album.

“I’m in your nose”
“Yeah, he’s mining for booger nuggets”

33 Robbie 07.05.07 at 10:27 pm

Crow: Mmmmm, sheep boogers. That’s some mighty fine, I said, mighty fine eatin’, chirren!

34 pinkwerewolff 07.05.07 at 10:37 pm

*stares*

ew. ew. ew. ew. ew. ew. ew. ew.

pass the kleenex.

35 Izzy 07.05.07 at 10:47 pm

Angela and Trin have the funniest comments I’ve read on CO. nice work!

36 CuteBabyFix.com 07.05.07 at 10:48 pm

I’m in ur nose
stashing mah valubls.

37 pansypoo 07.05.07 at 11:06 pm

one of my cats has a pink/buff/white(depends on mood) nose. i pick her nose. and then she eats what i take out. of course my other one loves dirty Qtips.

38 joools 07.05.07 at 11:15 pm

ok pansypoo, oversharing!

39 Ansley 07.05.07 at 11:15 pm

That is hilarious!

40 Faye 07.05.07 at 11:42 pm

Theress, that’s what my Gramps used to ask me when I had my index finger in up to the second knuckle: Digging for gold?

It still makes me cringe.

41 Leilani 07.06.07 at 12:21 am

You may find it hard to believe; but birdy beaks, when a bird is allopreening (taking care of someone else’s cooties), are remarkably delicate and gentle tools. My cockatoo can find and remove the smallest piece of lint or fuzz from my hair and never pull a single hair.

42 SPB 07.06.07 at 1:04 am

Yea but Leilani, we’re talkin about booggers, here?! There’s a whopin big difference btwn fuzz & what he’s minin for in that ther schnozzicle.

Sheesh. Weird, just weird. (Not that I’m complainin, mind you. A little weirdness once in a while can’t hurt anybody, right? Right?)

43 Pheas 07.06.07 at 1:54 am

Angela, you keel me. And I think you are on to something. Clearly crow is implanting a microchip so his alien overlords can read the sheep’s mind.

44 CuteAddict 07.06.07 at 3:09 am

lol Pheas…

*starts humming X-files theme*

The pic is hilarious. The sheep is obviously enjoying it. It’s probably ticklish…

45 hey-h 07.06.07 at 3:52 am

Angela, you totally made me snicker out loud. Also, symbiotic relationship, valuables, or no, I’m still voting for the “Cute or Gross” category. Emphasis on the latter.

46 pupidog 07.06.07 at 3:53 am

aaaaa……tichhooooooooooooo

47 Dale 07.06.07 at 4:34 am

I tell ya, that sheep would look 15 years younger if he just go rid of those crow´s feet around his nose.

48 Metz 07.06.07 at 4:54 am

Everybody now,
Skinamarinkadink
Skinamarinkadoo
I love Ewe!

Skinamarinkadink
Skinamarinkadoo
I love Ewe!

I love Ewe in the morning

I love you in the evening
and …
Hold on you gots somethin in your nose….there!
…And underneath the Mooooooooooon!
Ohhhhh Skinamarinkadink
Skinamarinkadoo!
I love Ewe!

49 The Honourable Gladys Anstruther 07.06.07 at 5:54 am

Snot a bad picture.

50 Metz 07.06.07 at 5:56 am

Hon. G: LMAO that reminds me of a book my daughter read recently.
“Snot Stew”
and no, it wasn’t.
Is Not!
Is too
S’not!
Stoo!

51 Metz 07.06.07 at 5:58 am

Poopy, just noticed I messed up my song!

*clears throat*
I love Ewe in the evening…and…hold on Ewe gots somethin in your nose…there
(and you know the rest)
everybody now!
*crickets chirping*

52 Eww. 07.06.07 at 9:20 am

Definitely gross. Way gross.

I’m not sure this counts as “Interspecies Snorgling…” Snorgle is cuddly and that’s kind of… uh… not.

[Hehehe. - Ed.]

53 Pheas 07.06.07 at 11:18 am

Too moische, Dale!

54 Bunnie 07.06.07 at 11:57 am

They love each other!! the crow is preening the sheep, thus there is snorgling. Of sorts.

55 LisaN 07.06.07 at 12:04 pm

Hope nothin’ startles the bird while he’s doin’ his business. That could hurt……

56 hypereric 07.06.07 at 1:33 pm

I dunno. If I didn’t have fingers, I would prolly welcome the chance for someone to pick my nose without having to pay them for it.

57 chanpon 07.06.07 at 1:53 pm

Definitely gross. =_=

58 Kritter 07.06.07 at 2:47 pm

I think our friends at Ugly Overload would appreciate this.

59 Victorya 07.06.07 at 3:40 pm

nauseating even if symbiotic!

Icky-poo with whipped cream and maggots.

Eck.

60 hazelnutbunny 07.06.07 at 4:02 pm

“The bird is obviously a Ewe, Nose and Throat specialist…

& covered by the flock’s HMO.”

OhMyGosh!!! I am LMAO!!!! That is FUNNY!!!! :O)

61 anner 07.06.07 at 5:21 pm

meg, i loves yer shifty eyes!

Tin – hahahahahahahahah! good one!

man, that sheep looks happy!

62 Harli 07.06.07 at 5:41 pm

i like to pick my friends but not like that!!!

63 Theresa 07.07.07 at 5:41 am

Ewe may think it’s gross, but it’s snot! :P

64 Subhangi 07.07.07 at 5:51 am

LOL, Theresa!

Atleast they’re saving trees by not using Kleenex …

[shifty eyes]

65 Furbabies 07.07.07 at 7:18 pm

It’s not gross, it’s nature. They obviously have an agreement. You get lunch and I get rid of my parasites. How can nature be anything but beautiful?

66 Anne 07.07.07 at 8:08 pm

Only a TRUE FRIEND will tell you if you have something hanging out of your nose…a VERY GOOD friend will also eat it!!!???

67 Brak_Silverbone 07.08.07 at 1:52 am

Maybe the sheep is getting a nose job??

68 Tor 07.08.07 at 2:03 am

Thanks for the insights frau_im_mond. Keeping it real on the C.O.

69 o0sillymilly0o 07.08.07 at 3:27 am

well some one is *cough* close?

70 musicchick2 07.08.07 at 6:32 am

Eeewww…. :-P

Liz….”cows eat roadkill”. They DO?? Aren’t they vegetarians? Dey eats grass ‘n stuff. Well, here’s another good reason why I don’t eat moo cows. Just in case….

71 metsakins 07.08.07 at 2:38 pm

she porbably meant crows not cows…cows are vegetarians by nature however, sometimes in this factory farming society we live in they have “things” missed in their feed….

72 metsakins 07.08.07 at 2:39 pm

mixed in their feed not missed

goes off muttering
*alway proof, even if you’re sure, always proof*

73 Corona 07.08.07 at 4:23 pm

You can pick your friends,
and you can pick your nose,
but you can’t wipe your friend on the bottom of the seat.

74 anomalous4 07.08.07 at 6:17 pm

musicchick2 sez: “Aren’t they [cows] vegetarians?”

What? you’ve never seen roadkill turnips? =grin=

But seriously, cRows have been filmed dropping hard-shelled nuts on the road for cars to run over, then flying down and eating the good parts. Some of ‘em have even figured out that if they drop ‘em in the crosswalks, they can do their munching while the walk light’s on!

As for the picture:

E-E-E-E-E-E-E-E-E-E-E-E-E-E-E-E-EWE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

75 Cole 07.09.07 at 12:22 pm

You can pick nose and you can pick your friends but you cant oick your friends noses!

lol
