Whee! We haz Pasketti!

2 CoffeeCup 11.21.08 at 1:37 pm

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

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 11.21.08 at 1:51 pm

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

5 Hon Glad 11.21.08 at 2:12 pm

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

6 Theo 11.21.08 at 2:18 pm

:snickeringks: @ the Moray gags

7 Not That Mike The Other Mike 11.21.08 at 2:23 pm

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 11.21.08 at 2:25 pm

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

9 Theo 11.21.08 at 2:33 pm

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

10 Von Zeppelin 11.21.08 at 2:39 pm

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

11 Theo 11.21.08 at 2:42 pm

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 11.21.08 at 2:46 pm

plz keep the moray lyrics coming… heestaireecals!

13 Katy 11.21.08 at 2:47 pm

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 11.21.08 at 2:47 pm

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 11.21.08 at 2:47 pm

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

16 Kari 11.21.08 at 2:51 pm

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

17 Theresa 11.21.08 at 2:51 pm

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 11.21.08 at 3:21 pm

Yeah, but they’re really hard to train.

19 Annie 11.21.08 at 3:29 pm

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

20 Annie 11.21.08 at 3:30 pm

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

21 Noelle 11.21.08 at 3:47 pm

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 11.21.08 at 3:58 pm

Thanks Noelle!

23 DumBunny 11.21.08 at 4:07 pm

@ 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 11.21.08 at 4:16 pm

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 11.21.08 at 4:22 pm

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 11.21.08 at 4:24 pm

“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 11.21.08 at 4:39 pm

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

28 the bug man 11.21.08 at 4:40 pm

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 11.21.08 at 4:45 pm

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

30 Theresa 11.21.08 at 4:50 pm

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 11.21.08 at 4:54 pm

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 11.21.08 at 5:05 pm

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

Sorry…

33 Theo 11.21.08 at 5:17 pm

AuntieMame
puts eels to shame

34 Theo 11.21.08 at 5:18 pm

[now humming "Valerie Plame" by The Decemberists]

35 Theresa 11.21.08 at 5:26 pm

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 11.21.08 at 5:38 pm

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 11.21.08 at 5:39 pm

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 11.21.08 at 5:39 pm

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 11.21.08 at 5:48 pm

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 11.21.08 at 5:49 pm

*falls off chair laughing*

41 Theresa 11.21.08 at 5:54 pm

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

42 Theo 11.21.08 at 5:55 pm

Hmm, I didn’t get that one.

43 Theresa 11.21.08 at 6:05 pm

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 11.21.08 at 6:47 pm

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

45 Noelle 11.21.08 at 6:52 pm

“No more rhymes now I mean it!”

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

46 PACAT 11.21.08 at 6:53 pm

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

47 Theo 11.21.08 at 7:15 pm

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 11.21.08 at 7:16 pm

*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 11.21.08 at 7:19 pm

Mmmmm, mochi… [fetching chopsticks]

50 Noelle 11.21.08 at 7:27 pm

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 11.21.08 at 7:32 pm

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

52 Pheas 11.21.08 at 7:40 pm

Anybody want a peanut?

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

53 Theo 11.21.08 at 7:45 pm

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

54 Theo 11.21.08 at 7:46 pm

…and the opposite of mores is lesses!

55 Capt' Tightpants 11.21.08 at 8:00 pm

to blaaaaaave…….

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

Best. Postingks. Evar.

56 Capt' Tightpants 11.21.08 at 8:01 pm

@ 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 11.21.08 at 8:13 pm

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

58 StephanieInCA 11.21.08 at 10:36 pm
59 berthaservant 11.22.08 at 2:54 am

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…

60 AuntieMame 11.22.08 at 3:05 am

CO’s gone all highbrow… :)

61 cassa 11.22.08 at 5:02 am

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

62 Theresa 11.22.08 at 1:16 pm

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

63 totalee puppy 11.22.08 at 1:37 pm

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?).”

64 Leonila 11.22.08 at 4:37 pm

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

65 WL 11.23.08 at 4:56 pm

Good job on giving your dog pancreatitis!

66 WL 11.23.08 at 8:42 pm

Good job on giving your dog pancreatitis!

67 Theo 11.24.08 at 12:50 am

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

68 T.U.M. 11.24.08 at 2:45 pm

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!

69 Theo 11.24.08 at 3:19 pm

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

70 tulsa 11.25.08 at 4:30 am
