12 kar 06.24.08 at 5:52 am

Don’t you love it when a snorkle’s so good your toes curl?

13 hon glad 06.24.08 at 5:54 am

Owls have the wit to woo.

14 Marie 06.24.08 at 6:25 am

The best! I feel like this should be dedicated just for me…Well, and all the other owl lovers too!

15 Wombats 06.24.08 at 6:42 am

Most precious thing ever! They are so content. I wish I was an Orly too!

16 Eize 06.24.08 at 6:43 am
17 Annie 06.24.08 at 7:25 am

Darn all the good things I could think of were already taken plus some and Hon Glad best pun ever!

18 Persephone 06.24.08 at 8:33 am

looking at this right after watching Twin Peaks is a kind of odd mental experience:

“aww, the owls, they are so kyooot…. *but they are not what they seem!*!”

19 Poohbear 06.24.08 at 8:43 am

Hon Glad : excellent Elizabethan pun! in ref. to Sweet Suffolk Owl, a 17th c. madrigal by Thomas Vautor. Perfect soundtrack for this pikcha.

20 hon glad 06.24.08 at 10:12 am

Poohbear: Thank you for the Thomas Vautor reference. What an erudite assembly are the peeps of Cute Overload. To be honest I lifted my pun from the title of a play by Mervyn Peake.

21 Theo 06.24.08 at 10:36 am

The lovey owls are a hoot (har) but y’all are *awesome* this morning.

22 Gillian 06.24.08 at 10:57 am

Awwww, that’s how me and my hubby are. <3 <3 <3

23 Poohbear 06.24.08 at 11:35 am

One for Teho : what’s the difference between a broken shotgun and a constipated owl ? (Tee-hee.)

24 Poohbear 06.24.08 at 12:16 pm

Anyone want to take a shot ? (Hint, hint…)

25 Nicolletta 06.24.08 at 12:19 pm

I am ded from the cute.

26 Tony James 06.24.08 at 12:28 pm

Poohbear – one can shoot, but can’t hit; the other can hoot, but can’t [censored].
I’ve got the brain today – you know, Teh-0 and I share it.

27 Poohbear 06.24.08 at 1:04 pm

Tee! But now I’m confoozled. Thought I had established that TJ and Teho were NOT one and the same – now they share a brain? Doubts rise in me once again. Teh Interwebs ees teh meesteerious playce.
BTW, Vox never worked well with any of my browsers – can’t seem to fix it – froostrayshon.

28 jabbo 06.24.08 at 1:20 pm

Now, my dear, let me regurgitate something for our dinner.

29 ThreeCatNight 06.24.08 at 1:22 pm

My dear, you are the only one I ever want to share a branch with.

30 Tony James 06.24.08 at 1:28 pm

Pooh – Tee-J and Tee-0 are not the same person, I promise. But like marmalade cats there is only one brain between us. It would be too dangerous if we both had brains, you see, and as it is we have to live in different parts of the country, in order to prevent “The same thing we do every night, Pinky- try to take over the world” situations from occurring.
You’ll thank us later.

31 Theresa 06.24.08 at 1:31 pm

OMG Sweet Suffolk Owl!
So trimly dight with feathers like a ladye bright!

32 Theresa 06.24.08 at 1:35 pm

(geeking out madrigal style)

Thou singst alone sitting by night!
Tu-who
Tu-whit tu-who tu-whit tu-who!
(etc. etc.)

Always love that one. Now let’s do “Weep O mine eyes and see snot.” ;)

33 Babs 06.24.08 at 1:40 pm

aDORabuhls!

And Hon Glad, best capsh evar.

34 Poohbear 06.24.08 at 1:49 pm

jabbo : LOLLLLL!!!!

Theresa : te-whit-te-who indeed! I didn’t want to quote all the words to the madrigal, as they refer to rodent control towards the end, and given the current hushed circumstances elsewhere on CO… :(

35 punkinberry 06.24.08 at 1:50 pm

Aww, so cute! I wonder if I could snorgle the other ear?

36 Winni-Pig 06.24.08 at 1:52 pm

Ahh, makes me remember when my little budgie Beeko used to nuzzle in my ears….(ouch! stop biting! I am not another budgie!!!!!)

37 nads 06.24.08 at 1:59 pm

How beautiful.

38 Laura 06.24.08 at 2:13 pm

Aww, fluffy feather snorgles!

39 chanpon 06.24.08 at 2:55 pm

Owls have always been my favorite birds, and one of my favorite animals since I was kid. This picture just reminds me how much I still really want one as a pet (talons tearing into flesh and all…). And yes, RLY.

40 Ray 06.24.08 at 3:38 pm

Cuuuute <3

“Her judgment was a robe and a diaphragm, oops a diadem”

44 berthaservant 06.24.08 at 4:13 pm

Hon Glad FTW!!!

All I had was a lame Harry Potter/Hedwig joke.

Gimme a minute and I’ll make a joke about these two being the offspring of X the Owl and Henrietta Pussycat.

45 rissu 06.24.08 at 4:45 pm

ORLY?

NORLY!

ORLY? NOWAI!!!

YAWAI!

46 caitlin 06.24.08 at 5:10 pm

48 binky-mama 06.24.08 at 6:37 pm

49 Wbirdie 06.24.08 at 7:07 pm

50 Katrina 06.24.08 at 8:47 pm

Excellent.

My Bonnie Lass, She Smelleth…

51 Theresa 06.24.08 at 8:56 pm

Katrina, no, but LOVE PDQ. Used to go to the concert every Christmas at Carnegie, and hiss the stage manager. ;)

“Please, kind sir, that portrait I see . . .” ;)

52 DLR 06.24.08 at 10:12 pm

53 littleturkeylegsmom 06.24.08 at 10:52 pm

Awwww, Owl was my first word, so I squealed aloud when I saw this pair! I wrapped my arms around my husband, declared “That’s how much I love YOU” and now the darling pair are our wallpaper.

54 Theresa 06.24.08 at 11:31 pm

Guys, these owls are actually *called* “Little Owls.” That’s the name of the species!! Can you STAND it???

55 Theresa 06.24.08 at 11:36 pm
56 binky-mama 06.24.08 at 11:36 pm

Theresa- Um, no I can’t. Stand it that is.

57 bats :[ 06.25.08 at 12:46 am

Most lovely.

58 Katrina 06.25.08 at 1:45 am

Theresa- You live in Hoople?
Cooool.

59 Theresa 06.25.08 at 4:51 am

Katrina-Yes, right across from the State Reformatory for Young Hussies and Trollops. ;)

60 LisaL 06.25.08 at 5:04 am

AAAAAACK….. The extreme cuteness is making me want to do violent things!!! It’s so cute I can’t handle it!!!

61 Marie 06.25.08 at 5:57 am

62 hon glad 06.25.08 at 5:59 am

Said the Cat to the Owl you elegant fowl how charmingly sweet you sing,
Oh let us get married to long have we tarried
but what shall we do for a ring.
Theresa: The State Refomatory for Young Hussies and Trollops, Tee Hee, Hee.

63 Subhangi 06.25.08 at 8:14 am

Hon Glad, you’re crackling today. Awesome.

64 Kewpie 06.25.08 at 11:00 am

Woooooooooooooooooooooo!!! Owls are fricking cute! I am SO glad someone else has recognized that owls are the most gorgeous baby animals on the planet! (if not most, up there with kittehs and puppehs)
