Gallant Sir Armor Tocks

Meg, the hovertext is hysterical!!!!

8 Teresa 10.08.08 at 12:21 am

Sorry I’m new here… I’ve searched around a bit and can’t figure it out… what is a Tock?!

9 nads 10.08.08 at 12:22 am

He looks like a dinosaur!

10 Dianne 10.08.08 at 12:23 am

Why is their skin like that? Anyone know??

11 Boy 10.08.08 at 12:25 am

@Teresa: ButTOCKS. Also see here: http://www.squidgrid.com/cute/Glossary.htm#Tocks

12 Dianne 10.08.08 at 12:25 am

Teresa, it is a butTOCKs

13 Boy 10.08.08 at 12:26 am

@Dianne: Here’s a theory: http://www.boop.org/jan/justso/rhino.htm

14 spb 10.08.08 at 12:27 am

Well… … just… well… it IS Tocktober.

15 Dianne 10.08.08 at 12:29 am

LOL, Thanks Boy. That was a heck of a story, LOL

16 Jen8 10.08.08 at 12:35 am

‘Tocktacular, and deserving of a COXCU. A coccyx COXCU to be exact.

17 Teresa 10.08.08 at 12:36 am

Thanks Boy & Dianne! Evidently I need to brush up my search engine skillz…

18 newlee 10.08.08 at 12:43 am

‘tocks of STEEL

19 Jillie 10.08.08 at 1:00 am

Dianne: Rhinos’ skin is pretty fierce. It makes for a tonne of their four-tonne weight, and is, at points, bullet proof. Although it is vulnerable; their blood vessels are right below it. It acts as a shield, and provides for excellent protection. It is literally their armour.

I love rhinos. They’re so symbolic. The Dalai Lama is often mistranslated as saying, “I wandered as lonely as a cloud” (or “one should wander as lonely as a cloud”) but he in fact said one should wander as lonely as a rhinoceros. And with ‘tocks like those, who can blame him!

20 Emilee 10.08.08 at 1:16 am

This completely made my daaay! Rhinos have been my favorite animal for so long and I’m glad someone else sees them as cute!!

21 laurenE 10.08.08 at 1:55 am

Oh… the hovertext… eet ees too moiche!

22 crazyweinerdoglady 10.08.08 at 2:00 am

It’s not necessarily search engine skills as much as the “Official CO Glossary!” Everything you need to know about CO…
I love babeh Rhinos’ and hippos toooo
MORE TOCKS’ for TOCKTOBER!

23 mif 10.08.08 at 2:03 am

ahahahahaha! this is hilarious and i love it! the hovertext is the best!

24 trisha 10.08.08 at 2:04 am

best hover over ever!!

25 MaggieBee 10.08.08 at 2:44 am

@Jen8: LOLOLOLOLOLOL!!!

Hahahahahah! XD

26 Pheas 10.08.08 at 3:08 am

Are you sure that hovertext is correct? I could have sworn this was Seymour Butz.

27 SoCalSis 10.08.08 at 4:17 am

Ah, Pheas, I gather you’re referring to Seymour Butz, the eminent author of “Under The Grandstand”… When I was a young whippersnapper I treasured my boxed set containing Mr. Butz’ opus nestled beside that other classic, “Revenge of the Tiger” by Claude Balls.

28 binky-mama 10.08.08 at 5:00 am

Yay! ‘Tocks!!! I just wanna reach out and pinch—

uh…waitaminute…..

29 CP 10.08.08 at 5:27 am

As long as you don’t feel that they were intelligently designed, Meg. :-)

30 Shannon 10.08.08 at 6:14 am

Excellent, EXCELLENT, tock example!

31 paulajeanne 10.08.08 at 6:29 am

Maybe the purpose of the tucked talio is to prevent chafing of said tocks?

32 Poohbear 10.08.08 at 6:38 am

Meg and Pheas, you cracken me up.

33 Hon Glad 10.08.08 at 9:17 am

Most people who wear leather trousers look like this.

34 starling 10.08.08 at 11:50 am

“I wandered as lonely as a cloud” is the first line of a poem called “The Daffodils”, by Wordsworth, Jillie.

35 momof2kitties 10.08.08 at 11:55 am

SoCalSis, I too, have that box set with the additional voumes of Sliding Down The Flagpole by Dick Burns and Glass Bikini by Seymour Hayre.

Phil McCracken? You guys are killing me! This is why I love this site so much!!

36 mberkie0 10.08.08 at 11:58 am

Them ‘tocks is engineered to close tolerances, ain’t they? Would Mr. McCracken be a plumber, by any chance? Not that I need one right now ……. but y’never know!

37 Sunstorm 10.08.08 at 12:00 pm

omg, they’re…CLUTCHING the tail! eeew!

38 Babs 10.08.08 at 1:08 pm

Oh laws.

39 chanpon 10.08.08 at 1:44 pm

Wow, rhino’s got tock-tonic plates!

40 Theresa 10.08.08 at 2:27 pm

SoCalSis, in the Dewey Decimal system, those get catalogued right beside the works of I.P. Daily and Eileen Dover. But in the Library of Congress system, they go on the shelf with Hugh Jass and Richard Hertz.

41 Theresa, not Teresa 10.08.08 at 2:29 pm

PS. Perhaps I should now be Theresa, Not Teresa. I was thinking of changing my handle to Teheresa in homage to Teho for the longest time. ;)

42 Theresa, not Teresa 10.08.08 at 2:33 pm

PPS: Whoa, check out those ‘tocks!
I think the tailio must need some kind of special protection with plated ‘tocks like that.

43 Kar 10.08.08 at 2:57 pm

I’m not sure if that’s cute but it’s pretty cool how that tail has the perfect slot between the armored ‘tocks. reminds me almost of the underside of a crab, y’know where you can lift the “key” to open up the body.

I wouldn’t reccommend that with this model though.

45 Hon Glad 10.08.08 at 3:27 pm

Theresa is your surname Green? :0}

46 Jon 10.08.08 at 3:39 pm

Have any of you read “Homosexuality in Ireland”, co-authored by Patrick Fitzgerald and Gerald Fitzpatrick?

47 momof2kitties 10.08.08 at 4:42 pm

@Jon:
Wha?
Huh?
Hmmm…
Oh.
OH!!!
HAHAHAHAHHA!
Snort!

Oh, this is just so wonderful I can’t stand it. No puns, no wisecracks-oh,damn……

50 momof2kitties 10.08.08 at 5:39 pm

51 Pheas 10.08.08 at 6:31 pm

Katrina, you bum!

52 sera 10.08.08 at 6:33 pm

*dies laughing from hovertext* Priceless!

A: An Irishman. :P

(PS I’m allowed to tell that joke, I’m Irish)

54 Mike Hunt 10.08.08 at 8:55 pm

I reviewed “Homosexuality in Ireland.” Unfavorably.

55 chanpon 10.08.08 at 9:05 pm

Damn, Theo, you had to ruin my nerdy geeky joke…

56 Katrina 10.08.08 at 9:42 pm

heh,heh.

57 annie 10.08.08 at 10:01 pm

Chanpon,

I look at it as a Nerdy Geeky Joke enhancement

Like there’s something wrong with monkey butts.

61 Gail (the first one) 10.09.08 at 12:28 am

@Pheas and SoCalSis: LM(tocks)O!!!

This rhino needs Zim’s Crack Cream!

62 Raemie L. 10.09.08 at 7:23 am

It looks like the tailio can click out of place like a radio antenna from its “holding place”. Or, maybe not.

63 Katrina 10.09.08 at 12:05 pm

Raemie L. – does s/he get short wave when he extends his tail, too? How cool would that be?

64 Theresa 10.09.08 at 1:05 pm

@Hon Glad, no, I am not the author of a tome on deciduous flora. ;)

65 KBinTo 10.09.08 at 5:19 pm

momof2kitties: when I read that, coffee came out my nose. And I wasn’t even drinking coffee at the time.

BTW I am momof4kitties.

66 Raemie L. 10.09.08 at 11:58 pm

@Katrina – :D A walking radio, cannot guarantee reliability. What would I receive on it, ‘Tock ‘n Roll on FM and ‘tock shows on AM?

Ack, “‘tock shows” did not come out sounding right…
