C.O. Travels The Globe!

by Not That Mike The Other Mike on September 2, 2008

And this week, we take you to the Swiss Alps, where the renowned Sludgemüller Brothers perform on the Handemonium, a traditional Swiss horn shaped like the left hand of Napoleon III.

REEEEEEEEE-COOOOOOO-LAAAAAAAAA! (x5)

May I have the next polka, Jennifer B.?

Now that’s a set of gloves I can live with. Give me 20 please (one for each digit I have)!!

Conceptually, these must be the opposite of fingerless gloves, huh?

4 Jocelyn Testes-Harder 09.02.08 at 4:24 pm

If you leave them on there long enough and they’ll remove your nail polish!

ARGH SO CUTE.

7 Katrina 09.02.08 at 4:30 pm

Does anybody have a guess as to the kind of puppehs are these? Besides cute, that is.

8 Erebella 09.02.08 at 4:35 pm

I guess that means they’ll have to switch from suck to blow!!…………..in a minute.

9 Brandy 09.02.08 at 4:37 pm

10 (the original) Mel 09.02.08 at 4:38 pm

Oh, I want to play the handemonium!

11 mberkie0 09.02.08 at 4:40 pm

Awwwww!

12 Lurker 09.02.08 at 4:53 pm

“Mom looks different today, Oh, well, dum-de-dum-dum…”

13 DKN 09.02.08 at 5:03 pm

Ahhhn! Synchronized nomming! First place!!

14 tank 09.02.08 at 5:42 pm

lol @ sucking larvae!

15 KBinTo 09.02.08 at 5:52 pm

Erebella: that’s, um, well, right, I guess…

16 Erebella 09.02.08 at 5:55 pm

I was stealing from the movie Spaceballs. It had to do with a giant vacuum cleaner space ship.

17 AuntieMame 09.02.08 at 5:56 pm

See, now, I would totally pay for this kind of manicure. But there’s no way I’m letting a bunch of squicky fish nibble on my toes.

18 punkinberry 09.02.08 at 6:00 pm

“Handemonium” made me laugh out loud — good one!

19 scooterpants 09.02.08 at 6:11 pm

maybe boxer puppehs?
SO very adorables.
seems someone has some yummy fingers.

20 Juniper Jupiter 09.02.08 at 6:18 pm

Ahhhh….Good thing they’re just suckling!

Otherwise that hand would come back with nubbeh stumps for fingers, LOL!

21 Psipsina 09.02.08 at 6:44 pm

So, did anyone else, when they were a kid, take the black olives from the relish tray at Thanksgiving and put one on each finger and wave them around to annoy their parents?

Olive puppehs!

22 Mel2 09.02.08 at 7:04 pm

They’ve been practicing “The Blue Danube Waltz” all day.

23 Decca 09.02.08 at 7:08 pm

NTMTOM, as a real live Word Music DJ (no, really, I am!) I can tell you that the The Handemonium is making a comeback in popularity. That Sting’ll play anything!

24 lurkertype 09.02.08 at 7:17 pm

NTMTOM, I didn’t think there could be anything sillier than your paragraph describing this.

Then I scrolled down and saw the picture.

Redonk!

25 fish eye no miko 09.02.08 at 7:34 pm

“Where’s de meelks?”

26 chanpon 09.02.08 at 7:42 pm

@Erebella: Guess KBinTo has never heard of (in deep voice) “Mega Maid”.

27 ThreeCatNight 09.02.08 at 7:47 pm

Fingersickles!

28 DumBunny 09.02.08 at 9:37 pm

They look a lot like baby Saint Barnards and about the right size,

29 berthaservant 09.02.08 at 9:38 pm

Best. Nom. Ever.

30 lucy's mommeh 09.02.08 at 10:33 pm

Psipsina, no to the olives, but how about “Bugles” fingernails? :)

31 erica 09.02.08 at 10:36 pm

I think they are Leonberger pupies

32 SoCalSis 09.02.08 at 11:21 pm

Pa-sicky?

[times five! - Ed.]

33 Mary (the first) 09.02.08 at 11:48 pm

Oh yeah, I totally did the olive on fingers thing. (Sometimes I still do .. if I’m alone ..:) Love these little guys better though!

34 Rachel of Cyberia 09.03.08 at 12:27 am

@Psipsina:

What do you mean “when you were a kid”? I still do!

35 Martha in Washington 09.03.08 at 12:27 am

Psipsina-I never did that (I don’t like olives) but my two sons have always done that. They would even steal the ones from the salad bowl at Olive Garden and do it in public! My husband always encouraged them.

36 Hamster & Rye 09.03.08 at 2:50 am

Help! I’m overwhelmed by mixed-up images–
I see a symphony orchestra, puppies on the handemonium, and a conductor waving his hands with olives on his fingers…

37 C. 09.03.08 at 2:54 am

This person must have steely control over his / her nerve endings. I can’t imagine how tickly-weird that must feel.

38 monica 09.03.08 at 4:00 am

Can I have one?????

39 WolvenSpectre 09.03.08 at 5:57 am

raising vampire puppiehs not so easeh.

40 SarahMoon 09.03.08 at 8:19 am

The amazing lactating hand!

41 dragon_sanctuary 09.03.08 at 9:10 am

I believe they be bebbeh Mastiffs.

And Yes, I used to put both olives AND Bugles on mah fingers–especially when dinner guests were over! X3

42 Subhangi 09.03.08 at 10:32 am

AWWWWW!!!

43 jackie31337 09.03.08 at 11:05 am

I have a strange feeling I’ve seen this pic before, but I don’t care because it’s so cute I could look at it every day!

44 LurkerLurcher 09.03.08 at 11:25 am

Pshaw! Nomming it certainly is not. As anyone who has partaken in the graduation ceremony at Cambridge University knows, this is clearly a bunch of students graduating:

“As each group of graduands is presented to the Vice Chancellor or her deputy, they each hold a finger of the Praelector’s right hand while he recites a Latin formula.”

(from http://www.sid.cam.ac.uk/people/praelector )

The students may indeed look younger and more puppy-like each year, but the situation is unmistakable…

45 Barbarella von Fluffenstein 09.03.08 at 12:38 pm

That´s beyond adorable….

46 Poohbear 09.03.08 at 1:25 pm

I can’t BELIEVE you guys know about the Ricola commercial !! (hovertext) The only one Swiss marketing people have ever come up with that is even remotely funneh. Has it crossed the pond ? and onward over the Rockies ??

47 DaytimeDeb 09.03.08 at 5:42 pm

Black olives! I totally thought of that when I saw this pic. I used to put olives on my fingers all the time. What, there is another way to eat them?

48 Katrina 09.03.08 at 5:52 pm

Yup, that’s it, Leonberger puppies- what a cute bunch, my God the food bills…but I’d love to see them as they get a little older!

Black Olives and Bugles on my fingers- my parents came to expect it.

49 ratchic 09.03.08 at 8:14 pm

Check out that paw on the right, it’s as big as it’s mouth!!!!!

50 badfae 09.11.08 at 5:20 pm
