Shrimp or Herring? Shrimp or Herring?

by Meg on November 4, 2008

If I had a dime every time I’ve been asked that question, I’d be one rich otter.

I think there’s something fishy about his ballot.

5 Von Zeppelin 11.04.08 at 10:15 pm

He otter write in the third party candidate, Mackerel.

6 (the original) Mel 11.04.08 at 10:18 pm

8 Kar 11.04.08 at 10:27 pm

Personally, I’d do a write-in for octopus.

Who else can wrap their arms around the issues?

9 Paunchie 11.04.08 at 10:27 pm

10 Carin 11.04.08 at 10:31 pm

11 Theo 11.04.08 at 10:33 pm

I like how it’s a *red* herring, too.

12 J. Bo 11.04.08 at 10:34 pm

Shrimp are so elitist…

13 nismo 11.04.08 at 10:46 pm

Otters are so cute. I vote for Otter.

14 LOLDemon 11.04.08 at 10:47 pm

20 robredyak 11.04.08 at 11:22 pm

Ya gotta pick – one or the otter.

21 CaptainBananas 11.04.08 at 11:23 pm

Are you saying voters are weasels? j/k keep it up up up up up…thanks…Captain Bananas

22 Melissa 11.04.08 at 11:24 pm

I voted Herring. I didn’t like the Shrimp’s peel and eat tax plan.

23 jmuhj 11.04.08 at 11:25 pm

Cats for Obama unanimously support a TUNA in every bowl.

24 biscuithead 11.04.08 at 11:25 pm

Otter toes!

25 crazyweinerdoglady 11.04.08 at 11:42 pm

Bigger tuna habitat means more tuna for EVERYBODY!

26 littleredhen 11.04.08 at 11:43 pm

That belly looks like he gets both!

27 Theresa 11.05.08 at 12:16 am

Oh no you are KIDDING me!!!

28 T.U.M. 11.05.08 at 12:19 am

Who’s running for the Redonk Party?

29 Sarah 11.05.08 at 12:23 am

I love his little expression, like ‘Am I really sure about that? It’s still sticking out of the slot. I could take it back and change it. AM I REALLY SURE?’
He is sweet. I hope he will be happy with his decision.

30 Rio 11.05.08 at 12:36 am

I totally vote shrimp. Shrimp ftw!

31 warrior rabbit 11.05.08 at 1:03 am

Hmm, that is a difficult decision. I like both shrimp *and* herring.

Sigh. If only shrimp were still the king prawn he once was, rather than the bay shrimp of today. And if he had chosen tartar sauce over cocktail sauce as an accompaniment… Herring it is!

nyuk nyuk nyuk

32 Gail (the first one) 11.05.08 at 1:32 am

What, no sardines on the ballot??!!?

(Apparently, no one could find the key to let them out of the can!)

33 Selina's Mommy 11.05.08 at 2:20 am

im going with jmuhj KITTEHS VOTE OBAMA!!!

34 pyrit 11.05.08 at 2:44 am

I used to be undecided, now I’m tottering…

35 david 11.05.08 at 3:42 am

That’s nothing, try deciding between cake and death.

36 pyrit 11.05.08 at 3:50 am

“Uh, death, please. No, cake! Cake! Cake, sorry. …”

37 jenjen 11.05.08 at 4:18 am

NOOOOO mister otter spoiled his ballot. You have to completely fill in the box with a black or blue pen. No red checks! That’s like socialism!

38 criscodisco 11.05.08 at 5:43 am
39 Theo 11.05.08 at 5:45 am

“CriscoDisco” !??? Ohhhh such a scene my mind’s eye doth behold…

40 Theo 11.05.08 at 5:46 am

(…says the guy whose blog tagline is “pudding hockey”)

41 Juliene 11.05.08 at 6:16 am

For some reason the hovertext really gave me a good laugh! [snort]

42 Raemie L. 11.05.08 at 6:36 am

Eeep, this is so cute!

43 Katrina 11.05.08 at 10:43 am

You want a bissel herring? I got some right here, fresh…

44 mberkie0 11.05.08 at 12:36 pm

Ok, herring it is. Now, do we vote matjes or sour cream? Onions or no onions? Mustard sauce!?* Nah, no mustard sauce!

45 Kris 11.05.08 at 2:14 pm

Only pickled herring for me, and only at New Year’s!

46 ThreeCatNight 11.05.08 at 3:28 pm

Oh, I’m just otterly perplexed! I do love shrimp with a little cocktail sauce on the side, and herring, mmmmm – nom, nom, nom! Why can’t I just have a little of both?

47 ding 11.05.08 at 6:25 pm

You must vote for one or the other, its a two-entree system.

48 Kimski 11.05.08 at 11:23 pm

I vote for Kar’s octopus too, its got enough arms to juggle all the issues.

49 cachorro 11.06.08 at 3:49 am

This is makin’ me so HONGREE! Kinda late to go
to the grocery store…Need shrimp! Need
herring! Totally out…Think I have a can of
anchovies and some crackers…Thank God I VOTED yesterday before this FOOD ATTACK (ack ack) set in…
mberkie0…you had to TORMENT me with matjes, cream sauce, onions, and mustard sauce…Thanks a lot!! Too bad my grocery store doesn’t have drive-thru…Actually, it sounds like I need a drive-thru delly…

50 totalee puppy 11.06.08 at 4:24 am

Decca LOL!!

51 hamster-on-rye 11.06.08 at 4:27 am

If I vote for caviar, am I
demonstrating more experience in foreign affairs?

52 Theo 11.06.08 at 1:35 pm

That, and elitism. *snicker*

53 Carley 11.07.08 at 2:12 am

I love the pics of the stoats. I want one….okay, maybe keeping all my fingers and toes is more important. I have a group of ferrets and these pics make me want to go out and get more…….sniff
