4 Hello Kitty 06.10.08 at 10:05 pm

5 Theo 06.10.08 at 10:05 pm

Damn, Meggity Moo, I wish *I* had written that hovertext… LOL

6 Jupiter Star 06.10.08 at 10:13 pm

7 equus 06.10.08 at 10:17 pm

plotting world domination much?
as soon as they get out of that cup…

8 Theo 06.10.08 at 10:20 pm

Nah, they’re not cats.

9 Juniper Jupiter 06.10.08 at 10:22 pm

POP POP POP goes the weasels the weasels!!!

:D

TOO KYOOT by the way (even if they do give off a ‘tinky back odor after being descented, but that’s just me)

10 snorglepup 06.10.08 at 10:27 pm

Hey,Bartender.
I’ll have what she’s having.

11 DKN 06.10.08 at 10:39 pm

WOW! I’ve never seen a bebeh ferret befo’! *SPLODE*

12 Decca 06.10.08 at 10:40 pm

I’ll have a Cute Overload please. Three parts baby ferrets, one part adorable kitten, and a dash of bunny. Garnish with a sprig of puppy. Shaken, not stirred.

13 Meg 06.10.08 at 10:42 pm

There should be three lil’ umbrellas in that drink.

14 Theresa 06.10.08 at 10:43 pm

Three baby ferrets walk into a bar . . .

15 Jennifer 06.10.08 at 10:52 pm

They’re so kah-yoot! I like how they don’t look too little to be messed with. They look like they can handle it. That way I don’t get sad for them.

16 Kasia 06.10.08 at 11:09 pm

oh my god! oh my god!!! OH MY GOD!!!!!!!

17 binky-mama 06.10.08 at 11:10 pm

Bebeh knee-socks!!!
Or…er…anklets?

18 Berg 06.10.08 at 11:11 pm

I’ve never seen baby ferrets before–so cute!

I think my favorite part is the pinkish round belly on each of these little ones, although the paw squished up against the glass is not to be ignored. Look at those tiny paw pads!

19 fish eye no miko 06.10.08 at 11:18 pm

Wow, I didn’t know ferrets came in that size! Awww…!
Can I have mine on the rocks?

20 chanpon 06.10.08 at 11:24 pm

This triple shot is WAY too strong. Needs warning label. Overdosing on cuteness so badly, I’m expecting a hangover tomorrow morning.

21 Annie 06.10.08 at 11:29 pm

OMG Meg the hover text … Too Funny.

22 Sharon 06.10.08 at 11:31 pm

Oh Crap!

Once again CO makes my head implode!

23 J. Bo 06.10.08 at 11:34 pm

I’m with you, Teho:

BEST. HOVERTEXT. EVAR.

24 Not That Mike The Other Mike 06.11.08 at 12:00 am

I have a two-ferret limit, especially if I have to drive somewhere later that evening.

25 Marie 06.11.08 at 12:40 am

Are you kidding?! Baby ferrets?

A new and fantastic addition to CO. Some good pickin’s here today. What fun!

26 berthaservant 06.11.08 at 12:43 am

Sure, it looks relaxing, but ferret drinking to excess is still a problem. Remember, know when to say when!

27 Meg 06.11.08 at 12:46 am

LOL NTMTOM.

FUI?

28 Laurent 06.11.08 at 1:08 am

Zomg! Are they deaf as well?

29 bunnykitten.com 06.11.08 at 1:36 am

so teeny tiny!

30 Lori 06.11.08 at 1:38 am

I have never even SEEN a baby ferret before, EVER. Now that I have…all I can say is…gfkfjklgdfgkgjfugfiryghrskzzzzz!

@Blinky-mama: Ankle socks?
No, not even… these bebeh ferrets are half socks!

33 Theresa 06.11.08 at 1:57 am

I do believe these qualify as “teeny-tiny-toony.”

34 scooterpants 06.11.08 at 2:16 am

call me a cab, i’ve been over served.

35 spb 06.11.08 at 2:25 am

ANKLETS!

36 spb 06.11.08 at 2:35 am

The one in the middle is going “Ehn! I need more elbow room, here. I’m slipping. Wah, wah, wah. Oh, just put me back in my bed!”

The one on the left (whilst pondering world domination): “Get to the back of the glass you whiner! I’ll take care of everything.”

The one on the right: “Whatev”

37 Beth 06.11.08 at 2:53 am

Good thing I had some food in my stomach before that one. That’s a strong swig of cute in a glass.

38 binky-mama 06.11.08 at 2:53 am

@ Raemie L.- Right you are! Is there such a thing as a toe sock?

39 Anne Boleyn 06.11.08 at 2:56 am

Yep. The only thing better than those bebbehs is the over text!

40 Ms. Scarlet 06.11.08 at 3:44 am

Oh my…I’m going to need a cab home after this one! Gonna be groggy in the morning~

41 nismo 06.11.08 at 3:58 am

I shall beep your pink little bellies.

42 AuntieMame 06.11.08 at 4:36 am

*Is there such a thing as a toe sock?*

As a matter of fact, yes, there is. I bought a couple pair to wear with my high-heeled clogs, to keep them from rubbing blisters all over my toes.

43 Brak_Silverbone 06.11.08 at 6:01 am

What, no olive?

44 hon glad 06.11.08 at 6:27 am

It’s quarter to three,
There’s no one in the place
except you and me.
So set’em up, Joe,
I’ve got a little story
You oughta know.

45 lauchlen 06.11.08 at 6:39 am

/Long/ time lurker, first time commenter because OMG, BABY FERRETS! SQUEE!! Oh my god, the cute, soooooo adorable! *kisses their bellies and beeps their wee little noses*

@Laurent: Yep, deaf until they’re about 34 days old. Also, all ferrets are born white and begin to show their adult colour at about 3 weeks.

46 bookmonstercats 06.11.08 at 7:24 am

SKREEEEEEK!!!!!

47 rabble 06.11.08 at 8:15 am

can’t…breathe…..

holy crap holy crap holy crap! i’m glad they can’t hear at that age, because they’d be deaf from all the squealing around them ;)

48 Raemie L. 06.11.08 at 8:18 am

More than you’d really care to know about “socks”. ;)

Binky-mama – Haha, I had to look it up. Web searches brought up mostly this kind of “toe sock”: http://www.toesocks.co.uk/images/5pp_stripy(mixed).jpg

The site I posted before called them “toe half socks”. I’m guessing these are similar to AuntieMame’s?
http://www.ekitchengadgets.com/079-405014.html

There’s also this little “toe cover”: http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/31r9bGYodxL._SS500_.jpg

Also called “toe socks” (at least on the site): http://www.footsmart.com/P-Toe-Socks-2-99978.aspx

Perhaps by “toe socks” (compared to the “half socks” link) you meant something like this “toe cap”?: http://www.footsmart.com/P-Gel-Toe-Cap-Set-of-2-98122.aspx

And then, there’s the thong sock. Yeah. http://foreveramber.typepad.com/photos/uncategorized/2007/11/13/thongsocks.jpg

That’s enough about socks from me. I need a ferret & tonic or something now.

49 Paul D. Waite 06.11.08 at 9:14 am

We staging *hic* an intervenshon.

50 laverne 06.11.08 at 9:32 am

i love you, I love you, I, love you! I LOVE YOU! Som cute!!!

51 Subhangi 06.11.08 at 9:33 am

SQUEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!

[shifty eyes]

[swigs]

Bring me *hic* anudder.

That’s it. I’m getting arrested for a DUI this evening.

52 Subhangi 06.11.08 at 9:34 am

P.S. Love the hovertext, too!

53 BBM 06.11.08 at 10:50 am

Snorgle with care.

54 snorglepup 06.11.08 at 11:28 am

I shall be the designated snorgler.

55 snorglepup 06.11.08 at 11:38 am

OK. I don’t get out much.
You kids want to splain the hovertext to me please?

56 Theo 06.11.08 at 11:51 am

SnorglePup — it’s one of those things that will never be funny if it needs to be explained. In fact, I’d say you can probably count yourself very fortunate indeed if you don’t get it.

57 snorglepup 06.11.08 at 11:54 am

Another blissfully, ignorant moment…

58 yankeebird 06.11.08 at 11:57 am

@ hon glad

You have great taste in music! Love that song. :)

59 ElishaB 06.11.08 at 12:19 pm

Whew, after the week I’ve had with no air in my house, 98+ degrees, inside and out…..I need a double quick!!!! Yeah, yeah, I know, I don’t drink much, it will go to my head, but ya know, sometimes ya just gotta live a little.

AAHHH, (smacking lips) that’s “cute” refreshment. Now where is the floor so I can lie down?

60 Lizzums 06.11.08 at 12:39 pm

Ah! The bellehs! The slanty eyes! The pink skin overlaid with white fuzz! TEH QTE! Times 3, even! *ded*

61 patris 06.11.08 at 12:44 pm

Tiny. Baby. KITTYRATS!!!!!! Want.

62 ThreeCatNight 06.11.08 at 1:00 pm

Hey, gimme one for the road!
They look good to me; I’ll drink to that!
*hic-hic* ‘Scuse me.

63 RR 06.11.08 at 1:23 pm

Intoxicating. I feel loopy just looking at them! The legs of the one on the right are completely ridiculous — they look like little trousers or something.

64 AuntieMame 06.11.08 at 2:31 pm

Yep, Raemie, those are exactly like mine, except mine are more like nylon stockings than socks (made from finer yarn).

Although when I was a teenager, I had a pair of those garishly striped socks with toes, too. o.0

snorglepup, the hover text is in reference to a drinking game. I understand that you can play it when you watch Bob Newhart, too, although I forget the trigger phrase. In this case, I assume the reference is to the President, although he is not the only person ever to say nuke-u-lar. He’s just the most visible example.

65 Cait 06.11.08 at 2:34 pm

So sweet…but I have a sudden and inexplicable urge to knit them sweaters. They look chilly.

66 Fegli 06.11.08 at 2:59 pm

Look at the dude on the left… giving his best Tyra Banks FIERCE face! You work, little guy.

67 zeldapie 06.11.08 at 3:13 pm

Lurve the peenk paws.

*waves back at middle dude

Hi hi hi!!!

68 GreedySkunk 06.11.08 at 3:23 pm

Aaahhh!! Little bebeh carpet sharklings! Since they can’t even reach your ankles yet, they go directly for the spaces between your toes.

I really wish I weren’t at work right now. I want to snuggle with my (grown) fuzzies so badly!

69 Rachel 06.11.08 at 3:31 pm

The baby ferrets are so adorale and teeny-tiny.

70 Wicked 06.11.08 at 3:37 pm

Glass of baby ferretts made my head explode all over my desk. Who is gonna clean this up?

[...the braintender! - Ed.]

71 Emily 06.11.08 at 4:00 pm

paw up dewd

72 Annie 06.11.08 at 4:27 pm

Well since were talking ferret drinks and hot weather
Never Ever ever drink a margarita when you are dehydrated.
They go down fast and so do you!

73 Melissa 06.11.08 at 4:43 pm

Booyah hovertext.

And as a mother of 4 ferrets, I can say with absolute certainty that those bellies will remain nommable for those guys’ entire lives.

74 DLR 06.11.08 at 4:54 pm

omg, baby ferrets, and white ones! too cute, faces only a mama could love!

75 Noelegy 06.11.08 at 5:33 pm

Here, they’re small, take three.

76 bookmonstercats 06.11.08 at 5:59 pm

RaemiL… I am asking this very carefully indeed….. why do you know so much about socks?

77 feezie 06.11.08 at 7:40 pm

Re hysterical hovertext: 1/20/09 cannot arrive soon enough.

Re bebeh ferretses: Pinkiest feets evar rule!

78 Camel Toes '87 06.11.08 at 8:00 pm

79 Raemie L. 06.12.08 at 12:22 am

LOL! Umm, let’s just say that I like having my attention diverted. [shifts eyes and twiddles thumbs]

80 PJ 06.12.08 at 5:11 am

Same again, please.
I DO NOT HAVE A PROBLEM.

81 lisamarie 06.12.08 at 8:15 am

82 Pademelon 06.12.08 at 9:48 am

I’m a glutton for punishment.

83 Katrina 06.12.08 at 1:29 pm

Barkeep-I’ll have ‘three fingers’ of ferret-hold the ice. Yeah, they can stand up if they want, just use a short glass.

84 January 06.12.08 at 2:15 pm
