Waaaay too many joke possibilities

by Meg on November 30, 2007

Look, these Christmas hedges come in their own stockings. They’re like, pre-packaged.

Apparently, that’s Mom hedge on the left, and her daughter on the right. Dainty paw-inheriter!


Hedgehogs, originally uploaded by Penelope’s Loom.

Shannon M., those hedges are redonk.

OMG! It’s a prickly pair!

2 Bluemenro 11.30.07 at 1:30 am

Erm, are those, you know? Or do I need to get my head out of the gutter?

3 BBM 11.30.07 at 1:30 am

You found my slippers!

4 Sarah K. 11.30.07 at 1:31 am

I don’t get it.

5 Carrie 11.30.07 at 1:34 am

wow – they both seem to be smiling OR their skin is pulled back so hard from them being held like that!! LOL

super cute – and I got the joke too.

6 cindy 11.30.07 at 1:36 am

OMG a hedgehog sack! or, a sack of hedgehogs?

7 Flo 11.30.07 at 1:36 am

Mrs. Tiggywinkle and her daughter! With little happy piggy faces. Too ka-yoot!

8 demolitionwoman 11.30.07 at 1:40 am

there needs to be a COXCU of those paws on the left, STAT! seriously.

9 mel 11.30.07 at 1:43 am

aw!!! I just melted. someone get a mop :)

10 charliewabba 11.30.07 at 1:46 am

smug hedgies

11 Ann 11.30.07 at 1:47 am

I just let out a rather audible “awwwwwwwwwn!” and squeal, to which the man replies “gee, I wonder what site you’re on.”

Sarcasm. he has it.

12 Beth 11.30.07 at 1:50 am

Nibble nibble

13 chanpon 11.30.07 at 1:54 am

How can you not love them when they come so perfectly packaged.

14 Rebecca S. 11.30.07 at 1:56 am

OMG! I love these two… I want one for Christmas!!!

15 ginger 11.30.07 at 1:56 am

Lol….Bluemenro, I agree.

16 strixus 11.30.07 at 2:02 am

…. Thank you, I now have “I have a lovely bunch of coconuts” stuck in my head. Filthy mind.

17 Momof2kitties 11.30.07 at 2:10 am

Matchinks!

18 Erica 11.30.07 at 2:25 am

Hmmm…looks like it’s cold in there if i get the joke. ;-)

19 snoopysnake 11.30.07 at 2:38 am

“Why, you two look like sisters!”

20 Lone 11.30.07 at 3:01 am

Thee Council of the Prickle has adjourned. We’ll shall take a ten minute pause in the proceedings. Adieu

21 Silent Meow 11.30.07 at 3:04 am

The perfect Holiday present, totally matching, and gift wrapped, too! Where can I buy this set?

22 Kara 11.30.07 at 3:44 am

I wish my hedgie was anywhere near that tolerant. He doesn’t like having his photo taken at all, much less in a cute pose. (He will crawl away under his ’security blanket.’)

Then again, I’ve been given to understand that females are generally friendlier than males, and my boy just hates everyone. Unless there’s food involved.

23 Annie 11.30.07 at 3:49 am

The girls look perky

24 Esme 11.30.07 at 4:00 am

I went to the site of the woman who took that photo, and all of her work is AMAZING. If ever I get married, I want her to do my wedding photos.

25 Subhangi 11.30.07 at 4:00 am

Does anyone think they look like they’re peeking out of twin nests?

26 Subhangi 11.30.07 at 4:02 am

They also look like … jackfruits. (Sorta) Yummy!

27 melanie 11.30.07 at 4:28 am

actually, the flickr caption says that it’s the mom on the right, not the left.

but still cute!

28 berthaslave 11.30.07 at 4:33 am

To butcher an old classic…

“the little girls don’t know, but the men understand.”

We’re horrible. And this pic is deee-lightful.

29 Heather 11.30.07 at 4:37 am

…but the hovertext is the best part.

30 anner 11.30.07 at 5:08 am

they ARE grinning at the camera, right? it’s not just me?

31 koko 11.30.07 at 7:05 am

wow. they look like some adorable, hairy testicles. Does that work? : )

32 Nakey 11.30.07 at 7:14 am

Eeeks, snoopysnake is trying out a pick-up line on the prickly hedgehogs being held like a man-satchel!
I am so cornfused. . .

33 Mia 11.30.07 at 7:21 am

Nooo! Cute hedgies should not be made to look like such a “sensitive” matter. Get it :D “sensitive.” I don’t know if that qualifies as a joke. Anywayssss, adorable hedgies. I would rather they place in a field of fluff though! Nasty humans.

34 Hon Glad 11.30.07 at 7:24 am

I think they must be like Velcro and the guy is separating them.

35 tesstricks 11.30.07 at 7:50 am

Hehe, they look like they’re showing off the manicures they got together at the local nail place.

36 cheryl 11.30.07 at 8:37 am

so cute! and matchinks manicures! i like the velcro suggestion.

37 raemie 11.30.07 at 9:14 am

Honey, these hedgehog mittens are darlingks. Aww, look how they grab my fingers with their little paws and gnaw on them contentedly. ee-ouch.

38 Willow 11.30.07 at 9:34 am

OMGG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (Oh My Goodness Gracious) That is the cutest thing EVER! Awwwwww…I want to cuddle them, but they’re prickly. :)

39 acelightning 11.30.07 at 10:18 am

“…The hedgehogs were hung by the chimney with care,
In hopes that Saint Tiggywinkle soon would be there…”

40 bookmonstercats 11.30.07 at 12:15 pm

I don’t get the joke…. on any level. This is adorable. Enough for me. I want them.

41 edward 11.30.07 at 12:25 pm

I love hedgies. We have 2 or 3 in our garden…they really like cat food. They also like leftover pasts, but they just eat the cheese off of it. Lovelies.

42 Linda 11.30.07 at 1:10 pm

Pretty guys… or girls…

43 Rachel of Cyberia 11.30.07 at 2:07 pm

Those earrings will be perfect with my party dress!

44 Theresa 11.30.07 at 2:16 pm

OMG, they are prickly and dangly like . . . a couple of prickly dangly things!

45 Ryland 11.30.07 at 2:19 pm

Hedgticles!

46 luvinmalssomuch 11.30.07 at 2:22 pm

Not just one but two hedges. I want! They are soooooo adorable.

47 yankeebird 11.30.07 at 2:26 pm

LOL, koko! Way to help out those whose minds aren’t in the gutter (present company is excluded – my pervy mind was in the gutter before I even saw the post title).

48 Mello 11.30.07 at 2:30 pm

“Hedgticles!”
OMG I just pulled a muscle laughing.

Never saw such a cute scrotum before.

49 CB 11.30.07 at 2:49 pm

OMG! POPPLES!!1!1

50 H_T 11.30.07 at 2:59 pm

BAAAAAAAAAAALLLLLLLSSS

51 pyrit 11.30.07 at 3:18 pm

Dip them in chocolate!

52 luvinmalssomuch 11.30.07 at 3:24 pm

I first looked at the pic and saw two cute lil hedgies and then I read these perv comments and looked back at the pic and there it was plain as day right before my eyes. Dangleberries

53 liz 11.30.07 at 3:59 pm

thanks SOOOOO much for the “loverly bunch of coconuts” reference, cuz now i have that stupid song stuck in my head and i hate it when stuff gets stuck in there!
ooooooo! danglin dingle-berrie matchinks twins! No way is that the mom- she looks so young and bee-you-tee-full!

54 luvinmalssomuch 11.30.07 at 4:11 pm

Hoi’ve got a lo-ve-ly bunch o’ coconuts.
There they are a-standin’ in a row.
Big ones, small ones, some as big as yer ‘ead!
Give ‘em a twist, a flick o’ the wrist,
That’s what the showman said

55 Jami 11.30.07 at 4:23 pm

Pervy indeed, but are most certainly cuter than the real thing!

56 Carrie 11.30.07 at 4:34 pm

Hedgticles don’t have Nosicles! Or wait……..

57 Ronja 11.30.07 at 4:38 pm

“So then I says to Mabel, I says…”

58 Heather S. 11.30.07 at 4:39 pm

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOH!
Yes I see it now… at first I was all “wha?” and then I looked for a moment and sure enough, there it is… hedgticles.

59 luvinmalssomuch 11.30.07 at 4:40 pm

60 liz 11.30.07 at 4:52 pm

61 Charlie 11.30.07 at 5:00 pm

The first comment is full of win xD I love the way their tiny paws are crossed at the front they are so tiny!

62 Coco 11.30.07 at 5:04 pm

Soft-corn porn! Bet they would make the softest of kronschy treats too.

63 violetgreen 11.30.07 at 5:04 pm

Funny…I’ve never felt like fondling hedgehogs before.

64 LuvBJones 11.30.07 at 5:12 pm

BRISTLEBERRIES!

65 Theresa 11.30.07 at 5:20 pm

Charlie, yes, gotta admit things got off to a rousing start. But what can you expect with such great raw material?

66 Kiragirl 11.30.07 at 6:01 pm

oh me gawd

wouldn’t want that prickly pear coming near me in the dark

67 Theo 11.30.07 at 6:16 pm

Because it is Friday and I am a baaaad boy, I am fairly tempted to post another photo from the same Flickr contributer here on C.O. — with comments *disabled*…

http://www.flickr.com/photo_zoom.gne?id=1375680585&context=set-72157601003891106&size=o

68 luvinmalssomuch 11.30.07 at 6:24 pm

Oh there you are you dirty Teho you.

69 Paunchie 11.30.07 at 6:25 pm

If a dude had THAT in his pants, would he see some action? Hm.

70 Carrie 11.30.07 at 6:37 pm

OOOO I saw that last night and was thinking exactly the same thing Theo!

Man – good thing they didn’t post THIS picture – whew.

71 liz 11.30.07 at 6:38 pm

is that a sky divin yorkie or what!
gee i hope he catches him.

72 Carrie 11.30.07 at 6:38 pm

oh me gawd

prickly “pair” ?

73 Jen 11.30.07 at 6:41 pm

Do you think the photographer could procure a ferret, and lay him out above the hedgeticles?

Sorry.

74 Kiragirl 11.30.07 at 6:44 pm

Mello, gross, I don’t think there is a cute one.

carrie: see:

http://home.att.net/~larvalbugbio/pricklypear.html

Jen, gross. LOL

75 Kim Monique 11.30.07 at 6:49 pm

Is that the Dalai Lama holding the hedges? It looks like they’re being held by an older man wearing a burgundy gown …

76 liz 11.30.07 at 7:01 pm

dalai lama would not hold hedgies in such a way.
he would gently cradle them in the crook of his arm. and smile.

77 Carrie 11.30.07 at 7:04 pm

Kira – your mind isn’t near close enough to the gutter yet… Here *shove* let me help you!

tee heee heeeeeeeeeeeeeee

78 Annie 11.30.07 at 7:23 pm

Liz this picture gives a whole new meaning to pocketpets and hedgticles. O-o

79 liz 11.30.07 at 7:33 pm

annie-
it does indeed.
i think there should be a category of ’so ugly its cute’ which both these hedgies and the things that we are all ELUDING to, could be a part.
not that theres anything wrong with that.

80 Wrench 11.30.07 at 7:39 pm

I am so, so glad I wasn’t the only one to think they looked like testiculars.

81 Theo 11.30.07 at 7:41 pm

Liz — word choice again… “alluding to” eh?

82 legalmom 11.30.07 at 7:47 pm

Theo— ‘Air Yorkie’? ;^)

too cute…but id kill my hubby if he did that wiff the puppeh..

83 liz 11.30.07 at 7:50 pm

ya i know.
i started with it spelled like that , then i changed my mind and spelled it wrong.
but, you know what i was alluding to , right? :)

84 luvinmalssomuch 11.30.07 at 8:02 pm

Alright let’s be alittle more adult about this and just say what is on all are mines. These hedgies look like a ****blushing**** region that is below the belly button and above the knees. I can’t, I just can’t.

85 Annie 11.30.07 at 8:05 pm

liz perhaps a mental twitch as your mind was elluding the picture ; )

86 Theo 11.30.07 at 8:06 pm

Liz — I thought I did, but now your meaning’s eluding me.

87 Theo 11.30.07 at 8:06 pm

jinx and stuff, Annie

88 liz 11.30.07 at 8:14 pm

testicles.
there i said it.
and i spell-ed it write two.
:)

89 liz 11.30.07 at 8:16 pm

luvinz-
these hedgies do not look like thighs! DUH!

90 luvinmalssomuch 11.30.07 at 8:18 pm

{{{{bowing down}}}}}
thanks liz I knew you could muster up the nerve.

Do your ears hang low?
Do they wabble to and fro?
Can you tie ‘em in a knot?
Can you tie ‘em in a bow?
Can you throw ‘em o’er your shoulder like a Continental soldier?
Do your ears hang low?

91 luvinmalssomuch 11.30.07 at 8:19 pm

bah ha ha liz!

92 liz 11.30.07 at 8:20 pm

is that supposed to be ears?

93 The Koala 11.30.07 at 8:22 pm

My rules for hedgticles remain the same…I ain’t lickin’ em unless you shave em!

94 liz 11.30.07 at 8:25 pm

have mercy. rulez is rulez.

95 Kiragirl 11.30.07 at 8:31 pm

Koala, BYOR.

96 Kiragirl 11.30.07 at 8:32 pm

and, the next time I see a pair, if they have little handsies on ‘em, I gettin outta there!!

97 luvinmalssomuch 11.30.07 at 8:40 pm

yes, I unlike alot of you pervs see things with rose colored glasses not x rated ones.
Oh who the hell am I kidding.
Keep those things away from me man.

98 dude 11.30.07 at 10:20 pm

i think that just gave me a pain in the butt! oh gosh…BATHROOM BREAK!!!

99 MMc 11.30.07 at 10:20 pm

Anywayyy… Back to the hedgehogs – very cute. I love that it looks like they’re smiling. And thanks Esme for mentioning her photostream–I just took a look, and it’s great.

100 musicchick2 12.01.07 at 12:42 am

Adorable! And the prosh little crossed feeties! Squeeee!!!!!

101 Faye 12.01.07 at 1:01 am

Man, I had an acid dream like that once back in the 1960s. Far out!

102 Faye 12.01.07 at 1:03 am

However, I must say, that the smiles on my boyfriend’s testicles were not as cute as the smiles on this pair.

103 Chastity 12.01.07 at 1:21 am

I’m MELTING !!!

104 DustPuppyOI 12.01.07 at 2:40 am
105 The Koala 12.01.07 at 4:15 am

Kiragirl…is that Bring Your Own Razor perchance?? lol…

106 Joy 12.02.07 at 12:49 am

Awww….. mom hedgie on right, paws crossed, reminds me so much of my first hedgie. He had much of the same mannerisms. Now I’m snuggling up with my Pumpkin the cranky hedgie.

107 bianca 12.02.07 at 3:00 am

matchinks! and causing me to be meltinks!

108 Emma 12.02.07 at 6:56 pm

they look like balls

cute prickly balls with precious hands and happy faces

but balls nonetheless

109 Catsandbeer.com 12.02.07 at 10:26 pm

these things’ faces are creepy, not cute – this photo is beneath cuteoverload.com

110 Theo 12.03.07 at 4:03 am

You’ve had this sort of opinion before, CatsAndBeer. How’s that been working out for you?

111 Catsandbeer.com 12.03.07 at 4:51 am

We call them like we see them – do you disagree?

As for how it’s been working out …

112 Theo 12.03.07 at 3:13 pm

Dude. You think you’re funny. And with the sort of audience you’re used to, over at your own blog, to *them* you probably are.

This is not that audience, though. I suggest you try this place: http://justalittleguy.blogspot.com/

113 Catsandbeer.com 12.04.07 at 5:48 am

my dude, all of the things you wrote are true, as are all the things I wrote – serendipity
