6 zeldapie 04.30.08 at 4:49 pm

Cute Overlote!

Er, Overload. Sorry–I got carried away.

8 SixFootJen 04.30.08 at 4:58 pm

I stoated! If I coulda stoated twice, I would have also cast a stoat for ICHC. But, only one stoat per person, so mine went to CO. Where are my stoat keeeses, please?

9 Kat 04.30.08 at 5:01 pm

Your wish is my command….DONE!

10 jen 04.30.08 at 5:50 pm

Everybody get to it!!! That cheezbuger site is in the lead!!!

11 NewYorkCityKitty 04.30.08 at 5:51 pm

VOTED!!

12 Squinty 04.30.08 at 6:14 pm

yay! figured it out! my vote is in! hope we beat those stupid cheezburger heads! go team CO!

13 riolinda 04.30.08 at 6:23 pm

i voted …. seems we’re in second place after the cheezburger site.

14 Gandalf 04.30.08 at 6:35 pm

OK, so i sunk to the level of using IE, thereby opening my computer to every virus and trojan invented in the past 15 years, so I could vote for CO.

The drop down menu doesn’t HAVE a *WEIRD* catagory.

Whisky Tango Foxtrot is going on?

Last year I managed to vote on 5 different computers.

This year I can’t even FIND where to vote.

No wonder ICHC is ahead….

15 kittymom 04.30.08 at 6:54 pm

Pleeze, people, VOTE!!! Those cheezeburgers will win not just 1 but 2 Webbys if you don’t get your browser over to the Webbys People’s Choice site and VOTE for CO!! Do it NOW!!

16 Elena 04.30.08 at 7:08 pm

I voted using Firefox… and it wasn’t too hard. Anyway, I’ll keep my fingers crossed. The political elections in Italy were such a disaster that this is my only hope left :-) Go Cute!
Ciao

17 Tigress 04.30.08 at 7:57 pm

That was one really, really slow site. I was able to vote in three categories, and CO was definitely one of them. Feel proud, MEG, you are in the same list as Facebook and Flickr, at least for me.

18 Tigress 04.30.08 at 8:06 pm

You know, other than CO, I found most of the nominees to be very disappointing. Where was Internet Movie Database in the media category? And TV tropes should have been in there somewhere. I’ll stop ranting now… (blush)

19 jmuhj 04.30.08 at 8:09 pm

U an ze Cheezburgurrs ar doin gud fur ze wurruld. Kompetishun sux. Kooperashun ruhls!

20 Sue 04.30.08 at 8:26 pm

Meg, I realize this has nothing to do with stoats or voting, but I didn’t see a place to e-mail you directly about this. I was appalled to see the multiple Hartz advertisements saying you “could skip the vet” for flea and tick problems. Sure, you could, and risk ending up with a dead pet. My sister put a flea collar on her cat, and the cats went into convulsions and nearly died. One of my cats was rescued by a well-meaning woman who treated her with a storebought treatment (I’ll mention no names) and the cat lost about half her fur. Both these people followed the package directions, and still, the products proved unsafe. Responsible pet owners should check with their vets before putting some random pesticide on their cats and dogs. Please, Meg, please rethink this advertisement!

21 Sue 04.30.08 at 8:29 pm

Besides, if your pet has had a recent checkup and the vet has all the current stats like weight, age, any other medications, etc., they may be able to prescribe a flea treatment without “the extra trip” for the animal itself.

22 athie 04.30.08 at 8:37 pm

I voted!
The best place for fuffy luvin!
Thanks xx

23 Susan 04.30.08 at 8:40 pm

One amendment to the four steps above. Log in, then (NEW STEP) click “ballot” at top of page, next to “home”. What will come up is the website ballot. Then back to the steps as above– The first category of website is connections; the last entry under connections is weird. So when you click weird you’ll see Cute Overload. Vote vote vote like a baby ermine!

24 Chuck 04.30.08 at 8:47 pm

I’m not voting unless there are some new posts on this place. Earn the vote don’t just expect the vote.

25 michii 04.30.08 at 8:50 pm

vote-alicious, stoat-alicious.

26 pyrit 04.30.08 at 9:01 pm

Sniff…what’s all this?
I’m not one for competitions. I do love a tie.
Everbuddy FTW!!!
It’s all good!
OK, have your fun. Off ye go.

27 pyrit 04.30.08 at 9:03 pm

Holy Posts! (ding!)
It’s like a PBS fundraiser week hea!

28 joods 04.30.08 at 9:13 pm

i deed eet…i voteed!

29 ILoveCOAnyway 04.30.08 at 9:58 pm

I can’t vote like a stoat unless I “register” which I am loath to do. So even though I love CO they will have to take only a virtual vote from me. So sorry. Love to all CO.

30 stephanie 04.30.08 at 10:01 pm

this is my fave site i voted!!! We’re just a few behind come on guys!!!!!!!

31 jv 04.30.08 at 10:10 pm

I’d vote but I’m still on the fence over that pa-sikie video.

32 Furbabies 04.30.08 at 10:33 pm

jv: One bad apple does not spoil the whole bunch. Years of fantastic cuteness does not flop because of one post that may or may not be considered cute. VOTE!

33 Yenasa 04.30.08 at 11:57 pm

I did my civic duty and voted! And I agree, I did *not* like the vast majority of the nominees for the other categories.

Go go go CO!

34 harlemgrrl 05.01.08 at 1:48 am

[x] voted for CO

35 Melisma 05.01.08 at 3:02 am

I voted, even though I really don’t like registering… hope CO wins. ICHC seems to be providing some stiff competition.

Also, in case anyone’s interested, my boyfriend and I brought our first chinchilla home today. Her name is Eva, she’s quite young and she’s adorable. If I didn’t have to be at home doing work I’d be over there talking to her (not allowed to snorgle yet).

36 JP 05.01.08 at 3:07 am

It would be a tragedy if the cheeseburgers won. Consider me X’d. CO rules!

37 Stitchy McYarnpants 05.01.08 at 3:23 am

As I am dead last in the Weird category competition, I must say that I’m rather enjoying watching the fur fly for first place. ;)

When Kittens Collide!

38 Pearl Ostroff 05.01.08 at 3:44 am

Registering on to the site, in this case, seems pretty harmless. You just need a name and a pass word. You don’t have to give any info like your email or birthday or address. So those loathe to register should be able to rest easy.

39 BiscuitTin 05.01.08 at 4:22 am

Stitchy McYarnpants – I was just going to post that I voted a couple days ago for CO, and in checking out the other competitors, found a really funny kind of knit-related site that everyone should check out, because you GOTTA love somebody who comes up with the phrase, “Steaming pile of knit,” and here you are your own self. Everyone – check out Stitchy McYarnpants’ site. It’s great! I’m just starting to knit, and I’m thinking of calling my whole unfortunate fashion line “Steaming Pile of Knit.” I had to vote for CO because I love it so dearly, but I was impressed with your site, as well.

40 yankeebird 05.01.08 at 4:29 am

For those who hate registering your email because you’re worried about getting spammed, do what I do. I have a generic Yahoo account (a couple, actually… that’s why I can vote more than once) :D that I use for this kind of stuff. That way, if any of the sites do start sending me junk, it doesn’t clog up the email account I actually use. I just make sure to log in once a month or so to clean out the thousand or so junk mails and keep the account active. It’s much easier.

And on an unrelated note, I just got my Glarkware package with my hammy pants shirt today and I love it! Anyone else get theirs yet?

41 karla b 05.01.08 at 12:32 pm

I voted for CO (of course)! And… very excited I got my first post by Meg!!! Thanks!

42 Shersher 05.01.08 at 1:01 pm

vote! I did lol I got my first CO tshirt yesterday…I loves it!!! :) :)

43 zeldapie 05.01.08 at 3:26 pm

YAY! I got my t-shirt yesterday! YAY! I have the brown one with the little guy Hammie and it’s a girly shape so I don’t look like I’m wearing a flour sack. I’m so happy!!!

44 Theo 05.01.08 at 3:28 pm

I’m a happy flour sack, myself. HAMPANTS!

45 Rika 05.02.08 at 2:57 am
46 Stitchy McYarnpants 05.02.08 at 4:00 pm

Thanks, Biscuit Tin! That’s really sweet. I’m a big fan of CO m’self (and ICHC), so even I was torn about who to vote for. :)

In the end, I’m just happy to give people a chuckle with my site. Who can compete with cute animals? Other cute animals, apparently, but no one else.

47 Theo 05.02.08 at 7:04 pm

You… have a blog… called “Stitchy McYarnpants”…

Welp, if I didn’t suffer from this unfortunate condition, I’d probably say that was the best thing I’d ever heard. Speaking from a Cute Overload perspective, of course. Hmm? Oh, my condition, right… it’s this:

48 Stitchy McYarnpants 05.02.08 at 7:21 pm

I do believe I can worsen that condition for you, if I may. :)

http://stitchymcyarnpants.com/moks06/?p=223

Yep. I’ve been Stitchy McYarnpants since about 2004! Got my own museum, I do. It’s all about scary knitting, as a matter of fact. :D

49 Theo 05.02.08 at 10:36 pm

oh dear GOD what WERE those!??

[shakes]

50 Kimski 05.03.08 at 1:30 am

Tigress, I looked for the Internet Movie Database, under the Film category too. Very disappointing.

51 Kimski 05.03.08 at 1:36 am

oooooh a post from StitchyMcYarnpants. It’s like a crossover on Buffy/Angel. Universes colliding.

52 Kimski 05.03.08 at 1:41 am

We can thank stitchy for her groundbreaking work on Yarn Sores. Who knew! I now keep a vigilant eye out for pom poms growing on my face.
Thank you Stitchy McYarnpants.

53 Audrey 05.03.08 at 2:37 am

I love both sites, but CO got my vote!

54 Ermine_Violin 05.04.08 at 4:39 am

ok just testing again – sorry

55 Ermine_Violin 05.04.08 at 4:41 am
