The softest-looking Buns

by Meg on May 25, 2008

Many people may CLAIM they have the softest buns, but the Massachusetts Sheep & Woolcraft Fair today really delivers. There is nuthin’ better than little McSquirmersons, squirming IN THEIR OWN SOFTNESS! Just kill us now and get it OVER WITH

   

Thanks for making us end a sentence with a prep, and thanks for the Bunday, Erin S.

Since these buns are at a sheep fair (a SHEEP fair! I’d be in heaven!), I call interspecies snorgling too.

Squirmingks, as far as the eye can see!!!

4 Lone 05.25.08 at 10:01 pm

“How does one sleep when one’s pillows refuses to cease its squirming!”

Awww, come on, two in a row?
For pity sakes. Happy Bunday, all!

Yup.

Waitwaitwaitwaitwait…

Is that bunny nest made of MOAR BUNNIES?!?

9 Karebear 05.25.08 at 10:44 pm

OMG I kept forgetting it was a video and was trying to smoosh my face into the fuzzy bunny pile. It just LOOKS so soft I can actually FEEL it! *smoosh* Ugh, I did it again! *goes to get windex to clean the monitor*

Bunny nest is made of Mommy’s hair. She starts pulling it out right before she has babies.

11 Janie 05.25.08 at 11:09 pm

Aww!

The one on the left is the exact same color as a perfectly-toasted marshmallow!!

… must … kronsche … !!!

12 Khadija 05.25.08 at 11:23 pm

Jenn, as opposed to humans mommies – they pull their hair out when kids come home with school reports.

13 Karebear 05.25.08 at 11:23 pm

Janie: mmmmmmm bunny s’mores!
The 2nd to the left is more brown like graham crackers, and then the one to his right is chocolate! (or the closest choco color in the bunch at least)

BUN ‘TOCKS!

15 chanpon 05.25.08 at 11:55 pm

The downward ears to make them more aerodynamic for squirming, smooshing, and nudging is crazy cute.

16 Ashley 05.26.08 at 1:34 am

Isn’t anyone disturbed by the origin of this clip? I mean, don’t we all visit this site because we love animals and don’t want them to be exploited for their coats?

17 bethanne 05.26.08 at 2:03 am

Be not thou distressed.
Haircuts are not abuse.

Sheep are shorn and, as a result, have gotten rid of an uncomfortably hot wool coat just in time for summer.

Buns are plucked during their molt. Fur they were shedding anyway.

It is very cool to see a spinner at a wheel spinning directly off bun’s back. Bun just sits there calmly getting scritched and the yarn flows off his back like magic.

18 debg 05.26.08 at 2:41 am

Spoken like a true spinster, Bethanne (and that’s a compliment, not a comment on your marital status!). And it’s total instant gratification for the spinner too, who gets amazingly beautiful yarn direct from the source.

Bunday morning
Brings the dawning
It’s just a squirmy feeling
By my side

Early squeeing
Bunneh’s being
It’s just the drooping ears
So close behind

Watch out,
The world’s behind you
There is always some cute around you to recall…
It’s nothing at all….

(whomever gets this reference may ask for my hand in marriage)

20 Juniper Jupiter 05.26.08 at 4:17 am

Oh my gaw!! There’s so much freakin’ FLUFF I can’t tell what part of body goes where!! :P Well, except for when that itchy bunny started kicking up her leg to skritch her head, LOL!!!

Who DIDN’T wanna reach into that fluffpile and give that blond bun a skritch? I always gave my kittehs a skritch when the itch! :D

21 april 05.26.08 at 4:28 am

Exactly how many bunnies are in this pile? Millions?

22 karebear 05.26.08 at 5:38 am

How is it exploiting when a rabbit de-fluffs itself for her babies’ nest?
And if you’ve ever owned a rabbit, you’ll know shedding season looks almost exactly like that photo! Hairs everywhere! (and sometimes hares too)

Where can i take my bun’s fur to make yarn!!!) *wants a bunny-fur sweater*

23 Brandi 05.26.08 at 6:37 am

bertha: Already married, but I have to admit Velvet Underground’s just about the last thing I’d expect to see here.

[And in a freaky coincidence, I spent part of today watching a documentary on them online.]

24 Hon Glad 05.26.08 at 11:06 am

Get new Bunnyfluffs with extra soft dusting power, at all good stores near you.

25 Katrina 05.26.08 at 12:09 pm

Ah, Karebear, depending on where you live, there are dozens of people who would love to spin a/your bun-bun’s fluff into yarn for you. Put it in a big cloth bag and go onto the ‘other’ part of the Internet, the potentially rude and nasty part, and ferret out of it some spinners of fluff (who are neither rude nor nasty by definition). There are spinner associations and it seems that at least one of our peeps does it. If you don’t knit or crochet or weave, I betcha we can find you that too within our peepdom. Bunny mohair-an experience like no other.

Berthaservant-sheesh you are fickle. You would dump Kristen for a Velvet Undergrounder/ Undergroundist/Undergrounderizer?
Ah, youth.

And don’t I see some crinkly sheep locks in the mix with the bunnehs? If not then the Mommeh bunny has some fantastically long fluff! Wowie,wowowow.

26 ali 05.26.08 at 1:59 pm

berthaservant, thank you for existing!

I love the little McSquirmersons!

27 debg 05.26.08 at 3:40 pm

Karebear, there’s a spinster right here. Let’s talk.

28 A 05.26.08 at 8:38 pm

Is this not the coziest thing you’ve ever seen? I feel ready for a nap just looking at them.

Katrina-
Growing up, I remember reading a story about a family with a wolf hybrid dog– he shed so much soft fluffy fur that they gathered it, and had lovely silver-gray sweaters knitted from the stuff.
