That last picture cracks me up every time I see it. Puppy looks so bemused!

2 Fegli 10.19.08 at 8:39 pm

Oh man… that bundle of lions looks amazing!

“Corgi” will be featured as a new weapon when Halo 4 hits shelves. Meanwhile German shepherds will replace the chainsaw attachment seen on guns in Gears of War.

speechless i am. o_0

4 chanpon 10.19.08 at 8:52 pm

Lion pile looks oh so toasty!!

5 lurkertype 10.19.08 at 9:08 pm

Great pics, funny comments.

Why are the lions in the snow anyway? Zoo?

Believe It Or Not!

How do you fire a dog-gun?
Maybe I don’t want to know.

7 nads 10.19.08 at 9:37 pm

Well, the doggy gun is cool but it still doesn’t beat LASER CATS!!!

lions in the snow?? does not compute! no wonder they’re in a huddle. i wonder where that is.

9 260Oakley 10.19.08 at 9:48 pm

Umm, I think someone should tell the shooter that he has the loaded end of the pup pistol pointed towards his face.

10 BrianMPLS 10.19.08 at 10:24 pm

“Set weiners on stun!” lol!

Waaaay ahead of ya – I don’t even remember what the other settings were! ;-)

11 RosiePosie 10.19.08 at 10:41 pm

Man, all those lions have that “happy cat” face that my domestic version has whenever I scratch her under her chin. I don’t think they mind the snow. :)

12 Sarah 10.19.08 at 10:43 pm

those lions’re photo shopped. some of the heads on the top left of the pile are exactally the same. not sure about Puppy Cannon and Cow Tongue though.

13 Decca 10.19.08 at 10:49 pm

Maybe my mom would have let me play with toy guns if they were this cute.

14 Not That Mike The Other Mike 10.19.08 at 11:00 pm

@Decca: YOU’LL PUT YOUR EYE OUT!!

15 Michelle S 10.19.08 at 11:14 pm

@oakley: As a registered owner of a similar type of weapon, those were my thoughts EXACTLY.

16 Courtney 10.19.08 at 11:24 pm

Much love for the cow tongue.

17 CJ 10.19.08 at 11:36 pm

I really don’t think the lions are shopped. I think they look alike because, well, they’re all lions. There’s not much uniqueness there.

“Set weiners on stun”… oh, the ways in which my infantile mind can run with THAT.

18 Amy 10.19.08 at 11:39 pm

Awww…lions cuddling in the snow. It looks like the male lions are keeping the lionesses in the center toasty and warm.

And umm, even though I adore that photo, it sorta looks photo-shopped to me? I hope not because it looks like such a nice moment :)

19 Amy 10.19.08 at 11:40 pm

Good point CJ!

20 debg 10.20.08 at 12:20 am

I’ll be giggling for hours, between these pix and the Literal Music Videos on youtube.

21 Jessica 10.20.08 at 12:26 am

I don’t think those lions are photoshopped, probably a zoo. That barbed wire is a little too close to that cows eye for comfort! And I love the weiner dog gun. :)

22 katie 10.20.08 at 12:30 am

What gets me is that the dog in the second photo doesn’t seem even remotely perturbed by a giant tongue licking his face….

23 DumBunny 10.20.08 at 12:55 am

Lion’s are not shopped, there are suttle differences between the different lions, lioness.

24 rikku 10.20.08 at 1:13 am

“you DONT want steak”

XD

25 Annie 10.20.08 at 1:14 am

LOL CJ I was thinking the same thing.

26 Gail (the first one) 10.20.08 at 1:22 am

As the cows in the Chik-Fil-A ads say, EAT MORE CHIKUN!!

27 violetgreen 10.20.08 at 2:27 am

Mmmm, Chocolate Lab!

28 berthaservant 10.20.08 at 2:47 am

No one has ’nuffed Tom’s use of the word “orgy” so close to the top of the post where the young ‘uns can see it? Really?

Srsly, tho, those lions look cozy.

29 toocute 10.20.08 at 2:57 am

Cool!
toocute.ca

30 Kimski 10.20.08 at 3:04 am

That looks like my kind of orgy. A snugglin one, shopped or not.

31 Raemie L. 10.20.08 at 3:22 am

Funny!

SNL has Laser Cats with the cats shooting out of their mouths? Wouldn’t the cat’s yeems be the laser? Or are they more like the laser’s focuser? (If the cats feel like cooperating, that is.)

32 Allison V. 10.20.08 at 4:44 am

Oh no! He’s pointing his biological weapon in the opposite direction!

33 Erebella 10.20.08 at 5:03 am

Orgies, tongues, and weiners – what is this site coming to?!?!?!

……….yeah, I like it too……….

34 mydragon 10.20.08 at 5:13 am

Would that be the “official” word for a whole bunch of lions. Ya know like, A gaggle of geese, murder of crows, an orgy of lions? I like that, better than a pride of lions.

35 starling 10.20.08 at 8:18 am

It’s not really pride, is it, it’s more of a snuggle.

36 surfzone 10.20.08 at 8:22 am

Here’s a pic with a cow trying to communicate telepathycally with my daughter… now I can understand lots of things!

37 Subhangi 10.20.08 at 9:04 am

This is when lions look like REALLY big kittehs – when they do the eye-squeezies!

Funny pics and captions!

38 mberkie0 10.20.08 at 12:00 pm

That is just too dog-gun funny! (Sorry, couldn’t resist.)

39 T.U.M. 10.20.08 at 12:41 pm

That’s cat stacking taken to a new extreme.

40 edmundh 10.20.08 at 1:50 pm

The Puppeh Rifle ™ is a weapon that only the Master Chief can use. Imageine – every time you fire it, you have to put a dog’s butt right up against your face!

41 Babs 10.20.08 at 2:00 pm

My hovertext for the second one woulda been the ol’ “In Soviet Russia, beef tastes YOU!”

42 Theresa 10.20.08 at 2:05 pm

I think on of those lions is violating the “no-nads” guideline. Hee hee!

43 sweets 10.20.08 at 5:29 pm

i have a similar weapon , its a Fuzzooka! Mine is cat tho

44 Tony James 10.20.08 at 5:58 pm

While the collective noun for lions is indeed a “pride”, MyDragon, when cats of any species exhibit behaviour of this type it is known by zoologists as a phloompf. While this might sound onomatapeic, the term was coined in recognition of the Austrian zoologist Dr. Ernst Phloompf of the University of Salzburg who first observed this behaviour in the lions of the Serengeti during his 1884-85 expedition. Hitherto it had been believed that lions slept only in a linear manner (rather than the nuclear fashioned observed here).
If you’re a fan of David Attenborough you can hear him use this expression in his series The Trials of Life, episode 4:
“And heah, fah out on the African plains, we encounter that most majestic of predators, the lion. Social in his living arrangements, it is not uncommon to encounter an entire family in a comfortable after-dinner phloompf as they digest a wildebeeste.”

45 Paunchie 10.20.08 at 7:47 pm

you are keeding mee with the pfloomph, no???

Guess what? Doggie butt.

Love the cow pic. Reminds me of the horse nomming on a cats ear…

46 Tony James 10.20.08 at 7:52 pm

I *never* kid about the pfloomph.

47 Paunchie 10.20.08 at 8:04 pm

“Flumphs are depicted as similar in appearance to jellyfish. However they move through air rather than water, and unlike jellyfish have eyes on stalks.

Flumphs are said to be completely helpless if flipped on to their ‘back’.”

48 Theresa 10.20.08 at 8:53 pm

@Tony James, you are der Phloompf-bomb.

49 Tony James 10.20.08 at 9:19 pm

Paunchi: [url= 50 dj 10.20.08 at 10:24 pm

Master Chief got a weapons upgrade???

51 Becca 10.20.08 at 11:06 pm

Awww… I googled “phloompf” and didn’t find anything. Google so rarely lets me down. Any chance you can source this tidbit? You seem to have far too much information to be incorrect Tony James, but I always like to double check facts from a credible source. :D

52 Theo 10.20.08 at 11:18 pm

TJ — this is TypePad, you don’t need to overthink it. Just paste the whole URL and it becomes clickable automagically.

53 ilikejam 10.20.08 at 11:36 pm

Cow: Slurp!
Dog: To be honest, I’m not comfortable with what you just did.

54 Mary (the first) 10.20.08 at 11:58 pm

I hate to say this but I think Tony James is pulling our legs re: “phloompf”. I’m finding no independent confirmation of term, Dr. Phloompf, or other related topic.

55 Tony James 10.20.08 at 11:58 pm

Mr. Teh-0 – I was kinda hoping that the words “Flumps” would ‘conceal’ the link, you see.
And those are Flumps, in reference to Paunchi’s comment about Flumphs.

56 Theo 10.21.08 at 12:07 am

Ah. Sorry, TypePad no worky that way.

57 Snarfff 10.21.08 at 12:48 am

Ack, I’m not sure I needed to know that a cow’s tongue was that big…! But dig those lovely white lashes and loving look.

58 Paunchie 10.24.08 at 5:40 pm

Tony James those aren’t the flumps I was talking about — I went to Wiki and found some “flumphs” related to the game dungeons and dragons. I never played it, but I was sure someone over here probably has!

59 Rar 10.29.08 at 5:51 am

Wait, if cows communicate telepathically, why would they use their tongues? Since telepathically means communication from one mind to another without using the senses?

60 katie 11.17.08 at 12:08 am

ha ha ha ha it looks like thee guy is smelling the butt he cant do that though with the mask

61 kitteh 01.01.09 at 9:38 pm

its not a…*cough* lion mating, they are snuggling to keep the females warm, besides, in prides there is only ONE alpha lion, he is the only one who gets to mate. he would be attacking the other lions, but since its cold, the alpha lion knows that they are just keeping the females warm, eather that, or the others are the sons of him. and this pic looks photoshopped, if you look some of them look exactly the same, with the same expressions, plus, its snowing in africa??!
