    I went to check out that web site. Man! VERY stringent cuteness ratings! :o I don’t think I’ve seen a “5″ yet!

  16. Aimz says:

    The pup at the end is a Pomeranian. His name is Spudgy and he’s 10 yrs old. :-)

  17. ba says:

    Sleepy Spudgy always has been and always will be my absolute favorite YouTube video.

  18. Lizzy says:

    That was me all semester. “And so-and-so’s use of color in thezz zzZZZzzzz… *jerk awake* post-modernist play-doh whatchmajigger snarshmallow ZZzzzZZZZ…”

  19. ba says:

    …But I always feel kind of dirty typing it in. “Spudgy”? Really?

  20. pyrit says:

    Vewy qwietwy shneaks teh bestest donuts fwum teh confewensh tabel…

  21. Janet in Cambridge says:

    Yup, pretty much captured my concentration levels when I’ve been in meetings like this. Face-forward-in-the-soup…

  22. Aoife says:

    Amazing how exhausting being a cute little bebeh is.

  23. Gail (the first one) says:

    Okay, today I had a Webex to display a Powerpoint presentation and a conference call to listen to what was on the presentation and I was completely alert the entire time……my kittehs, not so much.

    (Oh, and I, er, totally look like kitteh in #1, falling asleep on a plane. Possibly not as cute.)

  24. Theresa says:

    BINGO!

  25. BabyOpossum says:

    That’s what I need–a relationship management wombat! Thanks, CO.

  26. Hands(or heads?)up everybody who began tilting forwardzzzzz…..

  27. T.U.M. says:

    It’s funny ‘cos it’s true.

  28. Samantha says:

    Oh no! Now I’m getting sleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeejejifkdddb6 WHU?! Uh, sleepy. Why’s there drool on my keyboard?

  29. berthaservant says:

    This is per-ticularly apropos this festive season, as most people have indulged in Xmas basket goodies and baskets of candy and holiday lunch cocktails and are even more primed for a snooze in that 3 PM conference call with Steve from corporate.

  30. jen says:

    OK I laughed really hard at the kitten, then really hard at the chickies, but i absolutely nearly wet myself over the puppy! TOO FUNNY (and too cute of course)

  31. Villy says:

    *fwomp*

    I’m up! I’m up!!!

  32. Johanna says:

    Talk about misdirection! Sliiiiiddiiing to the left, plop on face to the right.

    I actually guffawed.

  33. Marie says:

    Lolouds!

    That was me last night trying to finish up some reading and refusing to go to bed. Okay, perhaps not as cute and adorably fuzzy.

  34. Rooanne says:

    “wompus noodle fleeble spork” – almost fell off my chair.
    I often wonder what gibberish my kitteh hears when I’m watching news…as he starts to snooze…

  35. marmar says:

    awww, baby needs my grippy yoga socks

  36. chanpon says:

    OMG, puppeh hitting the ground suddenly was so anerable, but synchronized fuzzy chick narcolepsy for the win!

  37. totalee puppy says:

    Oh, those were chickies!
    Never skip CO…you learn so much.
    How to stay awake in a class or a meeting…chew
    gum, lots of gum…”frostbite mint” flavor. If you can’t be seen chewing, just keep a wad in the corner of your
    mouth.

  38. June says:

    Oh man, the puppy flopping over then going “No! I’m awake! I’m awake!” just about killed me. Adorable!

  39. (the original) Mel says:

    Aaahhh “flapdoodle.” My favorite Henry Millerism.

  40. Hibiscus says:

    I’m concerned now, because while I had to go to UrbanDictionary.com to look up some of the stuff from the “1337″ post the other day, I actually understood everything in this one.

    Maybe it’s because for my job I actually do work as a Relationship Management Wombat?

  41. Gail (the first one) says:

    @Hibiscus: Hee-hee! Is “Wombat” a professional designation? Are there other levels, like “Apprentice Wombat”, “Journeyman Wombat” and “Master Wombat”?

  42. C. says:

    Tandem chickenhead droopage!

  43. claudia says:

    Keeeeeeeeeeeer PLOP! I didn’t see that one coming, puppy, LOL!

  44. oh-nobody-in-particular says:

    Sometimes, when I feel really down, this site is one of only a very few things that can still make me laugh.

    The entire internet is given over to brainless, sarcastic nonentities, always fussing and fighting about everything. But you come to C.O. and things are okay.

    Also, “Spudgy?” That is an awesome name for a Pomeranian.

    [Heh. Glad you like. So do we. Don't be *too* surprised when things occasionally get sarcastic and brainless around here, though... - Ed.]

  45. Shadyman says:

    The scary thing is, I was following you all the way up until “splinky narfle”. That’s when My Head A Splode.

  46. anner says:

    CUTTHINGSFALLINGASLEEPDOTORG???
    Can’t…bookmark…fast…enough…!

  47. Mandy says:

    So adorable! And I can totally relate! I have been doing this since I was fourteen years old!

    They tell me I need to work on my sleep hygiene. Pfft!

    Then when I get the eight hours sleep or more, I *STILL* faceplant! Cannot win.

    Not so cute when I do it, did it earlier at my bff’s place with her husband and father in law present, my jaw wide open, but not snoring.

    To quote the immortal Grover, “Oh, I am so emBARassed!”

  48. Kimski says:

    Reminds me of myself trying to keep my eyes open at the puter when I’m STAYING UP TOO LATE READING CUTE OVERLOAD.

    Why is it that puppies and kitties don’t want to go to sleep? Are they having so much fun that they don’t want to just like us?

    Am I anthropomorphising? I don’t know. It make me wonder….

  49. binky-mama says:

    Awesomeness!!! Wumple noodle fleeple spork talk makes me nod off too. But my drool puddles are not nearly as cute as these guys.

  50. Nancy says:

    NTMTOM, you are one fine cute-ologist editor. Now I have a new resource to use at the end of my next pp presentation. Any Questions group? I’ll see who’s awake enough to see the puppeh falling over.

  51. Mary S. says:

    SPUDGY? SERIOUSLY??? That’s the BEST GOGGIE NAME EVER!
    And my sister and I were thinking of naming any future weenies Cinnamon, Georgia and Ginger.
    They shall now have a brother named Spudgy!

  52. Lawrence says:

    Nothing says lovin like some seriouslt tie-tue animals!

  53. cachorro says:

    Mandy,
    Have you talked to a doctor? Just sayin’.

  54. totalee puppy says:

    Nothing says lovin’ like a warm cranberry muffin…
    and…zzzzzzzzzzz

  55. Babs says:

    Dude, those chicks could totally take the gold medal in Synchronized Snoozing.

  56. Mary says:

    I love the puppeh! He is all “If I can just keep my feet square I’ll be OK”..2 seconds later “Ahh..forget it”, then “Whad I miss?”
    Cute!

  57. atl says:
