    So THIS is where Lucas’ inspiration for Yoda came from.

  3. Katiedid says:

  8. firefinch says:

    Maybe a wombat could be the next post?

  9. Erebella says:

    Baby’s giving mama a snorgle!! Not mind control, just sweetness! Well, okay, maybe the ice cream part is true. And I kinda remember the hovertext line, but not quite. It sounds like something Liam Neeson’s character might have said.

  10. Hon Glad says:

    A Zaphod Beeblebrox of the Koala world.

  11. Kari says:

    ROFL I love how Mama Koala looks like WTF??? It’s almost like baby’s whispering in her ear about that hideous so-last-year outfit Mrs. Jones is wearing over there!

  12. chanpon says:

    Me need a pouch so a baby koala can hang out with me all day too. Those claws wouldn’t be too comfortable around my neck.

  13. chanpon says:

    Oh, and Noelle, “It’s not a toomah!”

  14. Camille says:

    Ah, Rule of Cuteness 7…

    I will take you out for ice cream, little koala.

  15. momof2kitties says:

  16. Chanya says:

    Koalas can disapprove as well as the best bunneh!!

  17. Theresa says:

  18. Chris says:

  20. pookie says:

    Aww, I’ll get you a dirt bike, little Koala!

  21. gryt says:

    Matchingks!

  22. Totally photoshopped. No two earthly creatures could possibly be that cute together.

  23. Phill says:

    We now return to “Everyone Loves Hypnotoad”…

  24. Aquila says:

    Noelle–Hellboy 2 FTW!
    Not to mention, CUTE koalas!

  25. Marie says:

    “You will take me to Marie’s house to cuddle.”

    “I– will– take– you– to– Marie’s– house– to–cuddle.”

    Success!

  26. Martha in Washington says:

    Is this Aussie day or what? First the suspicious little ‘Roo and now the mind-controlling Koalas. And Hugh Jackman was just selected as the Sexiest Man Alive!! (Did the Koalas have anything to do with that?) Way to go Australia!

  27. hamster-on-rye says:

    Understand there were some write-in votes for Theo…my lady says she voted for him…bit jealous
    about that, but y’know…

    [No worries, but uh, voting in what context? You mean like the Presidential election? Dude, I'd've conceded to Obama in an eyeblink. - Ed.]

  28. Hibiscus says:

    Oi! Oi! Oi!

  29. Gail (the first one) says:

    Aren’t people and the animules from Australia just generally great?!! I mean koalas, ‘roos, Hugh Jackman? Great sense of humor, cuteness, beautiful country! I can’t think of anyone from there who seems like they might be a jerk.

  30. Theresa says:

    Gail, I could show you ex-boyfriends . . .

  31. Gail (the first one) says:

    @Theresa: Were they all called ‘Bruce’? Did they pooh-pooh Australian Table Wines?

    [Hey now, those Aussie varietals have come a long way since the Python era, shiraz you're born... - Ed.]

  32. Gail (the first one) says:

    @Ed.: And every time I see one advertised, it still makes me laugh! Perth Pink, anyone??

  33. Theresa says:

    @Gail– one was a good guy, we just didn’t get along. The other was defintitely a jerk. But there were cross-cultural probs with the good guy, as well as with the jerk. Mind you, this was some years ago, the world has grown smaller since then.

    OTOH, I *was* introduced to good Aussie wine long before anybody here knew about it.

  34. Maarten says:

    Well, Brinke, bring ‘em on :)

  35. hamster-on-rye says:

    Theo, the Martha in Washington comment mentioned the selection of
    Hugh Jackman as “Sexiest Man Alive.” I assumed that
    write-in votes were allowed for some of our ladies/CO fans.

  36. hamster-on-rye says:

    The ladies were to be
    permitted a write-in vote…I feel so silly, like a kindergartener whose
    Hostess c-cakes have been
    forcibly removed from his
    lunch by “SugarBuster.”

    @Gail *coughXPrimeMinistercough*

    glad our international reputation hasn’t been completely ruined.
