11 marsheeeee 12.19.08 at 9:30 pm

Death by Powerpoint. I have SO been in those meetings. What little sweeties!

12 freakymysty 12.19.08 at 9:30 pm

I burst out laughing at the last one! What kind of dog is it anyway? It looks so different! The coloring is amazing.

13 Kallisto 12.19.08 at 9:34 pm

15 Alice 12.19.08 at 9:50 pm

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 12.19.08 at 9:50 pm

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

17 ba 12.19.08 at 10:01 pm

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

18 Lizzy 12.19.08 at 10:03 pm

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 12.19.08 at 10:03 pm

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

20 pyrit 12.19.08 at 10:07 pm

Vewy qwietwy shneaks teh bestest donuts fwum teh confewensh tabel…

21 Janet in Cambridge 12.19.08 at 10:11 pm

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

22 Aoife 12.19.08 at 10:16 pm

Amazing how exhausting being a cute little bebeh is.

23 Gail (the first one) 12.19.08 at 10:18 pm

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 12.19.08 at 10:20 pm

BINGO!

25 BabyOpossum 12.19.08 at 10:35 pm

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

26 VegetarianViking 12.19.08 at 10:43 pm

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

27 T.U.M. 12.19.08 at 11:14 pm

It’s funny ‘cos it’s true.

28 Samantha 12.19.08 at 11:18 pm

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

29 berthaservant 12.19.08 at 11:20 pm

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 12.19.08 at 11:59 pm

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 12.20.08 at 12:06 am

*fwomp*

I’m up! I’m up!!!

32 Johanna 12.20.08 at 12:15 am

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

I actually guffawed.

33 Marie 12.20.08 at 12:16 am

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 12.20.08 at 12:26 am

“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 12.20.08 at 1:24 am

awww, baby needs my grippy yoga socks

36 chanpon 12.20.08 at 3:03 am

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

37 totalee puppy 12.20.08 at 3:15 am

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 12.20.08 at 4:03 am

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

39 (the original) Mel 12.20.08 at 4:18 am

Aaahhh “flapdoodle.” My favorite Henry Millerism.

40 Hibiscus 12.20.08 at 6:38 am

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) 12.20.08 at 11:49 am

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

42 C. 12.20.08 at 3:36 pm

Tandem chickenhead droopage!

43 claudia 12.20.08 at 4:02 pm

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

44 oh-nobody-in-particular 12.20.08 at 8:28 pm

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 12.20.08 at 11:18 pm

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

46 anner 12.21.08 at 1:16 am

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

47 Mandy 12.21.08 at 5:34 am

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 12.21.08 at 5:51 am

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 12.21.08 at 5:58 am

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 12.21.08 at 3:33 pm

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. 12.21.08 at 8:55 pm

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 12.22.08 at 3:03 am

Nothing says lovin like some seriouslt tie-tue animals!

53 cachorro 12.22.08 at 4:47 am

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

54 totalee puppy 12.22.08 at 4:52 am

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

55 Babs 12.22.08 at 11:19 pm

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

56 Mary 12.23.08 at 12:50 am

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 01.09.09 at 12:26 am
