    Whee! We haz Pasketti!

  2. CoffeeCup says:

    Now I’m going to have “that’s amore” in my head all day! Thanks, Meg!

  3. T.U.M. says:

    When I was a kid, I thought it was “That’s a Moray.” I guess I thought he was head over eels in love.

    That is one happy puppeh!

  4. Pheas says:

    When you’re stung by an eel
    And that’s all you can feel
    THAT’s a moray!

  5. Hon Glad says:

    When your stung on the bum at a quarter to one
    that’s a moray.

  6. Theo says:

    :snickeringks: @ the Moray gags

  7. The moray gag I remember came from the comic strip “B.C.”:

    “When an eel lunges out / and it bites off your snout / that’s a moray.”

  8. chanpon says:

    *Giggling too much to try to add to the lyrics*

  9. Theo says:

    When you’re diving, keep watch
    And protect yer ol’ crotch
    From the moray…

  10. Von Zeppelin says:

    That’s an impressive dog! I don’t think the Tramp in the movie ever mastered the Vertical Aerial Pasta Sloorp.

  11. Theo says:

    What you can’t tell from the still photo is that Jack Pasta Terrier is actually BALANCING that cooked noodle. Dog’s a kitchen ninja.

  12. Capt' Tightpants says:

    plz keep the moray lyrics coming… heestaireecals!

  13. Katy says:

    THAT’S MY BAAYYBEEE PUPPYYY! Great timing… Today is my boyfriend and I’s 5 year anniversary and that’s our lil pup! THAT’S AMORE! ;)

  14. Theresa says:

    Paralyzed, you will drool
    Just like Pasta Fazool,
    Signore,
    Not for snorgles or sass,
    Just a big ‘ol bad ass,
    That’s a moray!

  15. Hayley says:

    Not meanining to nuff, but wasn’t it “Bella Notte”? Or is there copyright worries on CO?

  16. Kari says:

    Copyright worries? *snort* We don’t need no stinkin’ copyright laws!! :-P

  17. Theresa says:

    Hayley, you’re right. But “Amore” is easier to rhyme, and “Notte” doesn’t rhyme with any enormous, steel-jawed, death-dealing stealth sea predators. Wait is there a shark species called “Potte”?

  18. Theo says:

    Yeah, but they’re really hard to train.

  19. Annie says:

    Don’t be shy
    Jump right in
    Have some fun
    When you swim
    your a morey.

  20. Annie says:

    Keep it real
    your an eel
    and you don’t
    want to be
    Catchitoreeeeeee!!!!!!!!

  21. Noelle says:

    I really need to remember not to eat or drink when reading the comments on CO. I nearly choked on a chocolate covered pretzel over the “moreyisms”.

    Katy…love your pup! Happy Anniversary!

  22. Katy says:

    Thanks Noelle!

  23. DumBunny says:

    @ Noelle
    I quite drinking and reading CO at the same time some time ago for that very reason, I had to clean my screen to many times.

  24. suzi says:

    love the lyrics, here’s a few more
    when you swim in the bay
    just don’t get in his way that’s a moray
    He’s a sausage with teeth that will hide in a reef,
    that’s a moray

  25. Pheas says:

    When it’s daytime TV
    And your IQ is 3
    That’s a Maury!

    [ohgod please stop with the funny if i laugh anymore i'm gonna throw up eurghhhh - Ed.]

  26. Erebella says:

    “Head over eels” – BWAAHAAAA!! That’s funny! From cute spaghetti puppers straight to creepy moray eels, yeah I like the way you people think.

  27. Zanna says:

    When you swim on the reef
    and you feel pointy teeth,
    that’s a moray….

  28. the bug man says:

    See http://www.ukdivers.net/life/morays.htm

    My favorite line:
    When you’ve had quite enough, Of this daft rhyming stuff, that’s “no more!”, eh?

  29. Hon Glad says:

    He’s round and he’s fat
    and he’s got a nice cat
    Uncle Morie.

  30. Theresa says:

    Ancient Romans bred them,
    And on slaves they fed them,
    That’s a moray!
    What’s the point I ask you,
    What a daft thing to do,
    That’s a moray!

  31. Theresa says:

    You can call him a beast
    He won’t care in the least,
    That’s a moray.
    Fast as a rocket,
    Your arm’s out of its socket,
    That’s a moray!

  32. AuntieMame says:

    When you paint Argenteuil, for le Musée de l’Orangerie, that’s a Monet?

    Sorry…

  33. Theo says:

    AuntieMame
    puts eels to shame

  34. Theo says:

    [now humming "Valerie Plame" by The Decemberists]

  35. Theresa says:

    When you want to assert
    That you want a dessert,
    That’s a sorbet . .
    Not sherbet or ice cream,
    But a dieter’s dream,
    It’s a sorbet.

  36. Anne Boleyn says:

    When you go to a place
    for to plunder that space
    That’s a foray!

    When you go to the bed
    with fun thoughts in your head
    Could be foreplay!

  37. Anne Boleyn says:

    My dad used to do that spaghetti thing with his dog and he’d call it her baby bird imitation.
    RIP, little Molly. tweet.

  38. Kris says:

    When you think you can dance
    But you don’t stand a chance
    Pas de bourrée

    Two left feet in toe shoes
    You’ve got nothing to lose
    Pas de bourrée

  39. Theo says:

    Former housemate of mine had this to say:

    When the tofu you fry
    Needs some help to get by
    That’s tamari…

    (cheers, Rick)

  40. Lerrinus says:

    *falls off chair laughing*

  41. Theresa says:

    When he’s all toffee-nose,
    And he’s nothing but pose,
    That’s a Tory.

  42. Theo says:

    Hmm, I didn’t get that one.

  43. Theresa says:

    It refers to the Brit
    brand of upper-class twit,
    It’s a Tory. ;)

    [Ah. Thank you. And don't worry, I'm trained in performing the Heimlyric Maneuver, just hold still for a moment... - Ed.]

  44. Katrina says:

    Theresa, my love, you are full of wonderful.
    Erebella, you, too are made of wonderful.
    Too funny, peeps!

  45. Noelle says:

    “No more rhymes now I mean it!”

    (had to retype like 5 times because I was shaking too much with laughter)

  46. PACAT says:

    LOVE THE COMMENTS MORE THEN THE PICTURE.COFFEE BREAK TIME HAS NEVER BEEN SO ENTERTAINING.YOU GUYS ARE GREAT

  47. Theo says:

    Noelle — you know how there’s a Godwin’s Law of the internet that says whoever brings up Nazis loses, and the thread’s over? Well, GOLDMAN’S LAW.

    Anyone who says differently is selling something.

  48. mochimuffin says:

    *delurk* My god, this thread is genius and has moved me to comment for the first time evar. You guys are brilliant. That is all. *back to lurking*

  49. Theo says:

    Mmmmm, mochi… [fetching chopsticks]

  50. Noelle says:

    Um, no Theo I don’t know about Godwin’s law, or Goldman’s for that matter. Besides I didn’t bring up Nazi’s I brought up a short grumpy fellow who doesn’t know the meaning of the word “inconceivable”. :)

    “You rush a miracle man sonny, you get rotten miracles.”

  51. Theo says:

    Perhaps today I shall replace all instances of “to bleen” with “to blaaaave”.

  52. Pheas says:

    Anybody want a peanut?

    (Teho, be glad I found out the singular of mores is mos.)

  53. Theo says:

    HA! I *am* glad. I was thinking of that one too! Unsuccessfully.

  54. Theo says:

    …and the opposite of mores is lesses!

  55. Capt' Tightpants says:

    to blaaaaaave…….

    I can’t see straight I’m laughing so hard.

    Best. Postingks. Evar.

  56. Capt' Tightpants says:

    @ Theresa (Romans breed them verse)

    Thank you for putting into elegant verse what I had in my head, only could not translate into singsong.

  57. Pheas says:

    When the fabric is pressed
    For a watered-silk dress,
    That’s a moiré!

  58. berthaservant says:

    Great comments, but being a stickler for trivial detail, I must echo the previous poster’s comment that the correct song is “Bella Notte.”

    This is the pup,
    The slurpingous Pup,
    And they call him Bella Notte…

  59. AuntieMame says:

    CO’s gone all highbrow… :)

  60. cassa says:

    Our little Maltese loved fettuccine alfredo noodles and would eat them like that.

  61. Theresa says:

    Hey!
    When the noodles go slurp
    With a glurpity glurp
    That’s a Maltese. ;)

  62. totalee puppy says:

    Dedicated to AutieMame: When your friends come to call, to discuss “Rise and
    Fall…” that’s a soiree…
    We can rent a river boat, drink champagne while we
    float on the Loire (eh?).”

  63. Leonila says:

    Wow! It’s really an animal’s charm! nice.

  64. WL says:

    Good job on giving your dog pancreatitis!

  65. WL says:

    Good job on giving your dog pancreatitis!

  66. Theo says:

    WL — good job on the long-distance internet psychic veterinary prognosticating! Dead-on accurate too, I’m certain. Ooh, do me next!

  67. T.U.M. says:

    When the kitteh is red
    From his tail to his head,
    That’s a marmie!

    When his coat has the sheen
    Of a ripe tangerine,
    That’s a marmie!

  68. Theo says:

    Not bad, TUM, not bad. I must now go snorgle Mr. Bounce.

  69. tulsa says:
