6 katiedid 08.26.08 at 2:38 pm

In that last picture he has the same expression as that chihuahua that stands on cheeseburgers.. so pleased!

7 mberkie0 08.26.08 at 2:42 pm

Chubulence–that’s what it is–chubulence.

8 Hon Glad 08.26.08 at 2:45 pm

Like all bebehs, is that a smile or is it wind and who’s gonna look in the diaper, “its your turn no I did last, yeh? I got up at 3am for the feed, but I….

9 Katherine 08.26.08 at 2:56 pm

OMG… I LOVE the smile in the last one! Soooo adorabuhls!

10 chanpon 08.26.08 at 2:56 pm

PUDGE!! Cutest..pudgie..ever!

God, I love me some seals. And how exactly did he get on that rock anyway? That last pic = fat amoeba with eyes and a smile.

11 jennifer 08.26.08 at 2:57 pm

Awww, smiley seal.

12 joss 08.26.08 at 3:07 pm

the way he’s lifting his head and tail at the last one, he looks like me trying to do supermans at the gym. I’ll have to try it smiling like that, see if that helps.

13 (the original) Mel 08.26.08 at 3:11 pm

He’s all bespeckled. I wonder if he tastes like a malted milkball. I…can’t help but wonder that…sorry.

14 Theo 08.26.08 at 3:15 pm

NECKS: overrated.

15 Theo 08.26.08 at 3:15 pm

(sorry, giraffes)

16 bryn 08.26.08 at 3:24 pm

*gasp!* SEAL!!!!

They’re so wonderful all intelligent thought disappears, and I’m left with only…

SEAL!!!

17 Laura 08.26.08 at 3:26 pm

This really made me laugh over and over. The commentary is just perfect. I think the last picture may be one of the most painfully cute things ever.

18 Lurker 08.26.08 at 3:26 pm

I GIV DIS ROCK MAH SEEL OF APPROOVALS

19 Theresa 08.26.08 at 3:32 pm

Harbor seal? Every so often, one hauls out on our (NYC) waterfront, and the whole metropolis screeches to a halt, UNDONE BY THE CUTENESS. Sealie then appears on all the local news broadcasts, newspapers and blogs, and gets a cute name.

20 Jen 08.26.08 at 3:39 pm

Theresa – that’s awesome!

And this has to be the happiest McBlobersons I’ve ever seen! I want to love it and squeeze it and call it George.

21 Erebella 08.26.08 at 3:42 pm

You can still see the water trail it left churning in the first picture. I think it got up there in one smooth leap that only seals and penguins can do. Awesome.

22 Estlin 08.26.08 at 3:43 pm

That third picture is a winner.

And: people still strive for a bloody “bleen”? C’mon, people – get a life!

23 Theresa 08.26.08 at 3:47 pm

A martini-slurping seal– reminds me of a favorite LOL-pinniped:

24 Monica the tiara chick 08.26.08 at 4:18 pm

I wanna go all Peruvian seal “MEEEAUUULGHHH” *snorgle* on him!

25 sonybaloney 08.26.08 at 4:30 pm

Oh Leah! Those are beautiful pics! That kind of chubbiness makes the world go ’round.

26 Jupiter Star 08.26.08 at 4:33 pm

Yeah, seals are adorable, no question about it…but what about Meg’s seal-language subtitles? That’s some pretty impressive linguistic skills right there!

27 mberkie0 08.26.08 at 4:46 pm

Dis is Harbor Seal – used to see “Hooover” (Bec. that’s what he said) at New England Aquarium in Baaahston. Dis one is bery cute.

28 kk3 08.26.08 at 4:51 pm

Estlin: don’t be so harsh…there are always new-comers to the site and they should be welcomed. If you’ve never bleened before…well, we all want to bleen at least once! :) Hugs to manynote.

29 Tee 08.26.08 at 4:53 pm

Fat and Happy I am!

30 WannaSmile 08.26.08 at 4:53 pm

OMG..so cute!

31 Yitzysmommie 08.26.08 at 4:59 pm

ROTFLMAO @ Lurker.
Adorabuhls sealio! Makes me think of chocolate chip ice cream.

32 binky-mama 08.26.08 at 5:01 pm

Is it just me or does it look like God made harbor seals out of cake icing? You know just squeezed them out of those tubes right onto the rocks…Bloop!

Oh and the smile? It keels me!

33 Christina 08.26.08 at 5:03 pm

Aww, the third pic.

Are we sure that isn’t some invention of the Japanese?

34 Beth 08.26.08 at 5:27 pm

The smile in the last photo made my day. New background! I mean, whatever badness is going on in life just seems to melt away when you have a happy, bloopy seal!

35 darkshines 08.26.08 at 5:36 pm

Seal of approval, lol.

36 aloria 08.26.08 at 5:52 pm

Oh man. Look at this chunk. I want to poke it. He does look like he took a most satisfying fart in that last pic.

37 Theresa 08.26.08 at 6:18 pm

@Mberkie0– I am so jealous that you got to see Hooovah! Word had it that he grew up with a Maine fisherman, where he got his pronounced Down East accent. ;)

38 eikoleigh 08.26.08 at 6:23 pm

omg, he’s so cute….that smile on his face in the last pic is just precious!!

39 Ellis 08.26.08 at 6:25 pm

“I own this rock, it is mine!”

So damn cute.

40 debra y 08.26.08 at 6:27 pm

it’s truly the captions (however short) that make CO so adorable!

41 berthaservant 08.26.08 at 7:12 pm

You just know he’s cracking that smile because he ordered the martini “on the rocks!” (rimshot)

42 taj 08.26.08 at 7:21 pm

I have a sudden craving for straticelli gelato! mmmm….

43 Theresa 08.26.08 at 7:24 pm

BTW, look at that whiskery muzzlepouch/poof in the head-on shot. Wowzers!

44 Mary (the first) 08.26.08 at 7:35 pm

lol Bertha! I would love to join the sealio on the rocks and have a martini with him!

45 jmuhj 08.26.08 at 7:41 pm

Can anyone out there IMAGINE the “ehn”-ing there must have been?

46 Thistle 08.26.08 at 7:54 pm

Didn’t they say sailors out to sea too long used to mistake seals and such for mermaids?

…Ariel?

47 Theo 08.26.08 at 8:15 pm

“…part of your worrrrrrrld!” :SPLASH:

48 Lauren M. Davis Folk Art 08.26.08 at 8:23 pm

OH MY WORDY WORDY WOOOOOOOOO, THAT IS SO CUTE!!!!!!!!!!!

49 Monique 08.26.08 at 8:28 pm

I love Harbor Seals!!! The sea lions get all the attention at harbors around San Francisco because they bark for treats, but these little guys are even cuter, in my opinion!

50 Wbirdie 08.26.08 at 9:11 pm

Cute enough to make ya *blubber*, isn’t it?
:D

51 gravyboat 08.26.08 at 10:19 pm

Look at that little guy…just a-smilin’ and a-preenin’ cuz the sun is shinin’!

52 Anarquistador 08.26.08 at 11:24 pm

He’s beached himself!

Don’t worry, little guy! I’ll save you!

:runs to the beach:

53 Tanya 08.26.08 at 11:28 pm

The third picture is now my desktop background :D

54 ButtaRumCake 08.27.08 at 12:11 am

I agree 100% Binky mama!

I’m so sick today (swollen tonsils & post-nasal drip)…these pics really made my day!!!

55 ariel 08.27.08 at 12:31 am

haha, that guy looks real happy.

56 Mary 08.27.08 at 12:49 am

“Oh man. Look at this chunk. I want to poke it. He does look like he took a most satisfying fart in that last pic.”

LOL I was kind of thinking along those lines too (especially with the tail up positioning)!

But still very cute!

57 Lee 08.27.08 at 12:54 am

He sorta looks like a new kind of marshmallow peep.

58 Brandi 08.27.08 at 6:04 am

I’m not sure if he’s trying to do ^_^ or :3.

59 essacee 08.27.08 at 7:38 am

This is most certainly a :3 .

With a little squinting of the eyes…I don’t think a seal can make any other mouth than :3.

60 Subhangi 08.27.08 at 7:46 am

SQUEEEEEEEE!!! So much blobbulence! The last pic is a complete SEAL of approval!

::pokes chubbular belleh::

61 Emmi 08.27.08 at 8:03 am

Ah, guys, I like you a lot. Now I know I’m not alone in my tilting head-actions and “awww”-sounds.

62 The Daily Coyote 08.27.08 at 8:21 am

Ahhh… that is one CUTE and plump seal bloohping around.

63 Barbarella von Fluffenstein 08.27.08 at 8:23 am

OMG. The SMILE in the last pic kills me. I think I´ll print it off, put it on my wall, and in my darkest moments in life I shall look at it and say to myself “things aren´t that bad” and feel happy. :D

64 darkshines 08.27.08 at 8:32 am

I made this guy my wallpaper. I finished with my boyfriend a few days ago, and needed a picture to remind me that life is ok and the world isn’t as scary as I think it it. Smiley farty seal cures all ills.

Maybe thats where waves come from……

65 jackie31337 08.27.08 at 11:20 am

Hey, where did you guys get pics of my parents’ dog? Seriously, they have one very cylindrical corgi-mix that looks just like a seal with an extra long tail when she lies down and tucks her feet under her.

66 Thistle 08.27.08 at 12:41 pm

Ahah.. anyone who tries to say animals don’t have feelings.. Well this guy certainly knows how to enjoy the moment. That smile is adorable and heartwarming in the last picture.

67 Limegirl 08.27.08 at 2:14 pm

@Christina:

They may revoke half my ethnicity for this (which would probably be painful, but I’m willing to suffer for the the truth), but seals were a part of a top secret project during WWII, code named “KAWAIIIIIIIIIII!”. They were specifically engineered to derail the Allied war effort by distracting the forces with cuteness. Unfortunately the project turned out to be a wartime failure, as they managed to make them cute but not deadly.

68 Humane Mewsings 08.27.08 at 2:57 pm

That has to be one of the most precious photos I have ever seen! I would love to see how the seal maneuevered itself on that rock… hehe :3

69 Theo 08.27.08 at 3:28 pm

with many a bouncy squish, HM

70 Mandy 08.27.08 at 3:54 pm

OMG! I know dogs do it but, I didn’t know seals could smile! That is one of the cutest things ever!

71 Katrina 08.28.08 at 4:04 pm

HOOVER was a delight. His voice was very gruff and low and loud, and he had his own special enclosure in front of the NE Aquarium. The NE A. is right on the Boson waterfront and you’d hear tourists and boats and bells and construction and then this wonderful HOOOOOO-VAH, and know he was there.
My then-boyfriend, then in Law School in B. (now Killer Corgy’s Dad and father of two skin babies), had me walking through half of Boston (sorry, Baaahstaahn) as I visited. He said he had a ’surprise’ he wanted to show me. It was Hoover.
Hoover was a very special critter and inspired a whole lot of “AWWWWS’ every day. Bother were (are) worth the walk!

72 mberkie0 08.28.08 at 4:32 pm

@Katrina: Yayess, we sawr Hooovah at the ‘Quarium a numbah of times. I lived in/neah Baahston for some seventeen yeahs, altho I nevah did find a place to pahk in Hahvud Squayah.

73 anahoj 08.28.08 at 5:26 pm

AWW

74 Katrina 08.28.08 at 7:17 pm

mberkieO – I bet I’ve walked through it, but I never brought a car, so me neither!

For those who don’t live near Baastaahn, DON’T DRIVE there! Massachusetts is the land of the red-light-as-a-simple,-mildly-felt-suggestion.Crazypeeles behind the wheel. mberkieO, you lived there, any comments?
