Vhat kind of chien iz zhat?

10 Patito Gigante 03.19.09 at 6:14 pm

Shur fine!! Gaaaaak!!
You’re supposed to pronounce it like you’ve finally given in to a ridiculous argument made by a pig-headed loved one over something ultimately meaningless. Like so:

[sighs, rolls eyes, drops jaw]
“Sure. Fine.”

11 Mary (the first) 03.19.09 at 6:24 pm

So how does one pronounce “Poofe’e”? (with the accenty thing over the e as shown but I don’t know how to do that). Is it Poo-fee-ay? Or Poo-feee? or Poo-fay ? One of you Frensche speakers (and I see you all are) please help me.

12 jenny 03.19.09 at 6:25 pm

ahhh! this is one of my favorite posts ever!

13 la voix 03.19.09 at 6:38 pm

Puppeh, kitteh or Chupacabra???

15 Theo 03.19.09 at 6:45 pm

Let’s see, what do we have on the menu so far? Shur Fine Soup, whole-grain hamster loaf, freshly-retrieved Guinness… y’know, it occurs to me that I never ate lunch.

16 Paunchie 03.19.09 at 7:15 pm

20 CP 03.19.09 at 8:06 pm

Ghetto? But…that’s what my mama used to make me when I was sick…

Just kidding. She used Campbells. Shur-Fine is what the poor people ate.

21 Dexter Fishmore 03.19.09 at 8:13 pm

“Ghetto tomato”? Hehehe. +1, sir.

54 Jmper 03.20.09 at 4:30 am

I was in Woodman’s grocery store the other day and I saw this can of Tomato sauce and told my friend “Oh my goodness that reminds me of a cuteoverload post!” so when we got done shopping, I looked it up. Glad to see it on the up and up.

55 Jasonn 03.20.09 at 4:53 am

57 Theo 03.20.09 at 6:46 am

Er… maybe… French Polar Bear?

58 sara 03.20.09 at 12:11 pm

my grammie has a bichon frise. This pretty baby has prolly had a haircut because when Bella was a puppy, her nickname was swiffer because she looked like a dust mop. I’m not even sure if he is a bf. he doesn’t have the leetle floppee earses.

59 sara 03.20.09 at 12:19 pm

I’ve decided it’s a west highland white terrier. not that that’s a french breed…

60 Tractatus Blorpico-Philosophicus 03.20.09 at 12:51 pm

I suspect this is a v. babeh American Eskimo dog — it actually looks just like a v. babeh schipperke (which my flatmates had–totally awes), but as they don’t come in white, I think it’s another spitz-family dog, which the AE is. W/these spitzes (including poms), their hair gets much longer & thicker & develops the characteristic ruff, culottes, etc. in adulthood, so they look quite different as v. young bebehs. The face also develops later into the adult profile. Can any AE owners out there confirm?

61 Tractatus Blorpico-Philosophicus 03.20.09 at 12:53 pm

Oops- the tail does look awfully Westie though…

62 kmira 03.20.09 at 1:48 pm

I love eet when Meg gets her goofy French accent on b/c it always involves a paw over your mouth and a shhhh! Totally cracks me up every time.

63 zeldapie 03.20.09 at 3:35 pm

I always hear Pepe le Pew in my head when Meg does her French speak.

64 Theo 03.20.09 at 4:59 pm

…or perhaps Perpe le Phew?

65 kultgirl 03.21.09 at 5:10 am

Sure. Fine.

bwahahaha!

My former employer used to tell me that fine = f*** it never ends.

Makes sense with the label.

Did someone say “Woodman’s?” Are you in Wisconsin (too)?!

66 luvkittehs 03.21.09 at 8:50 am

Theo that was the previous pic but as kultgirl ses bwahahahah!

67 luvpuppehs 03.21.09 at 8:56 am

Dawwww I want a can opener that looks cute and isn’t metal+plastic! I got doggy that looks like that and what do i see on the internet? A cute, fluffy, smart, canopening, white dog (as opposed to black cat) which comes with free tomato soup!
I want one.
Dawwww.

68 qwertyuiop 03.21.09 at 9:06 am

Read the one previous by luvpuppehs. Wink Wink.

69 Quentindemster 03.21.09 at 9:10 am

Look up.
Theres somethong fishy about the previous comment.

70 hamstergirl 03.21.09 at 9:14 am

Now look up again.
Not that up.
The one previous of mine is written by Quentin Demster.
Y’know.
The fat glasses bloke on Dateline or sumthin?
Anyway.
That.
Puppeh.
Is.
Cuute.

71 piddlinturkeythatfarts 03.21.09 at 9:36 am

It’s Stateline, hamster butt. And Quent is not fat.
He. Is. Hot.
That tomato soup makes me hungreeh!

72 sazza 03.21.09 at 9:48 am

Hey Cuteoverload is busy today, the 21st of march must be some kinda holiday!
Petit chien c’est belle!

73 Katrina 03.21.09 at 3:20 pm

It is Killer Corgi’s bigger big brother’s birthday and Johann Sebastian Bach’s too! Happy Birthday Killer’s bigger big Brother!

74 Tiffany 03.21.09 at 5:32 pm

He’s adorable! :D

75 deborah 03.21.09 at 10:19 pm

So Donna, you don’t *have* to read the dialog. With the news, the politics, the economy – CO is a breather for a few minutes in the day, and what’s the harm in everyone having fun with it?

76 luvbunnehs 03.22.09 at 3:06 am

FI-nal-leeee we have something on March Somethingotherthan21st!
Mine.

Bytheway:
That Dog.
Is.
So cute!

77 Theo 03.22.09 at 3:35 am

Hey, Luv, pick one screen name and stick with it. Don’t pretend to have conversations with (or about) your eight other fake names. That behavior is known as “astroturfing” or “sock puppetry” and it tends not to endear you to moderators of online communities.

78 roxz 04.03.09 at 5:46 pm

Yeah.
Right.
