Where are its ears?!

3 Theresa 06.23.09 at 11:24 am

Reminds me of the wisdom of the brothers Magliozzi (Click and Clack)– all the worst disasters are preceded by the words, “Hey, guys, watch this!”

4 Lula Mae 06.23.09 at 11:29 am

Wooheee, a wookie!

5 Kathleen 06.23.09 at 11:37 am

Oh my GOD, it’s a Mogwai! For the love of god, man, tell me this photo wasn’t taken after midnight!

6 Katrina 06.23.09 at 11:39 am

Theresa-do you live in the “Fair City”?

I am very fond of marmosets. What is it eating, bok choy? Now, that’s an acquired taste raw….

7 anastasia 06.23.09 at 11:39 am

Say!!!! a marmoset!

8 TW 06.23.09 at 11:56 am

Bigger ears and a more protruding muzzle (and opposable thumbs) and this would look like my cutie Pandora, who I swear is at least half monkey. We should all be thankful that cats don’t have thumbs.

9 Katiedid 06.23.09 at 11:57 am

OMG!!! Don’t get it wet!!!! Wait.. do they make more of themselves if you get them wet, or do they turn to gremlins?? Frick! I don’t remember. *Splash*

10 sheepy 06.23.09 at 11:57 am

That sounds like an excellent idea, marmoset. I don’t even know what it is…except, Say, that’s a good idea!

11 beeline4felines 06.23.09 at 12:03 pm

LOL @ “marmoset there’d be days like this” …. good one!

12 Metz 06.23.09 at 12:05 pm

monch monch monch, does this monch monch monch taste funny monch monch to you too?

13 kittykye 06.23.09 at 12:07 pm

Ah, Katiedid, you beat me to it. ;)
It’s okay to get them wet though, cause then they’ll multiply! Then there’ll be millions of these cute little dudes running around. Yay!
….But, for goodness sake… Don’t feed them after midnight!

14 Katiedid 06.23.09 at 12:11 pm

When the good one gets wet in the movie doesn’t it make more EVIL ones?? We certainly dont need any evil marmosets running around eating puppies and kittens turning into nuffers.. ahem … gremlins…. ;-D

15 Theresa 06.23.09 at 12:13 pm

Marmosets always remind me of the one that peed on Johnny Carson’s head.

BTW, that marmoset is dead. :cry:

16 Theresa 06.23.09 at 12:15 pm

Katrina, no, not that “Fair City.” I’m from Brooklyn (wild applause from studio audience)

17 Pheas 06.23.09 at 12:19 pm

Ears were nommed off, DUH!

18 Noelle (the First) 06.23.09 at 12:22 pm

“What? I’m eatin’ here! You gotta problem with that!”

Ooohhhh Sir Paul. (sings while head tilting)

21 Kristabelle 06.23.09 at 12:24 pm

No Theresa, don’t go there!!! :mrgreen:

All I can think of after seeing Say so many times is Paul McCartney…

22 pyrit 06.23.09 at 12:25 pm

I think it’s a Mar-Marmoset channeling Jar-Jar Binks.
Say! Where wesa goin’? Mesa your humble servant. Oh gooberfish. Dis is nutsen.
(Cutely saves the whole world.)

23 AmyJ 06.23.09 at 12:27 pm

Greetings from the Bronx, Theresa!

Cute. Weird but cute. Did anyone notice his (her?) mouth is the same shape as his eyes. Does it have teef??

And please help, I don’t understand the hovertext on the first photo!

Aw, he’s cute! (Plus, I love that the first hovertext quotes Primus’s “Tommy The Cat.” Heh.)

[Ooh, well spotted! I didn't know if anybody would get that. Saybebehdoyawannalaydownwithmesaybebeh... - Ed]

27 sheepy 06.23.09 at 12:44 pm

@Theresa: Did you hear about Ed McMahon this morning…? :( (Speaking of Johnny Carson…) Hopefully he’s keeping that marmoset company now…. :-/

28 berthaservant 06.23.09 at 12:45 pm

I think Meg is commenting on the mamoset’s resemblance to the archetypal gangster figure from 1930s cinema as embodied by James Cagney in “Public Enemy,” Paul Muni in “Scarface,” and most probably Edward G. Robinson in “Little Caesar.” Years later, comedian Billy Crystal used to hold a mask of Robinson up to his face with the tongue sticking out and said “Say, you guys, say!” over and over.

Personally, there’s nothing that says golden age Hollywood to me more than the phrase “Say” at the beginning of a sentence. One instantly feels like puttin’ the make on some girl with moxie, or giving that wiseguy galoot a what-for.

say say say – what you want
but don’t play games
with my affection

take take take – what you need
but don’t leave me
with no direction

30 Theresa 06.23.09 at 1:19 pm

@Sheepy, yes, poor man.
@B-serv, Say, what are you, a wise guy?

31 Theresa 06.23.09 at 1:20 pm

PS I met a little monkeh named Billy Joe,
And I almost lost my mind!

32 kibblenibble 06.23.09 at 1:32 pm

I had forgotten about the marmoset song…Went back and watched it again. Highly recommend clicking the link and watching if you missed it the first time. Pure silly cuteness!

33 Aoife 06.23.09 at 1:39 pm

Hey, where did you find a picture of my little brother???

34 Von Zeppelin 06.23.09 at 1:50 pm

Marmoset? Isn’t that some kind of 1950s hair product for orange cats?

35 chaosrainz 06.23.09 at 2:01 pm

It looks like a baby wookie! lol

36 nismo 06.23.09 at 3:31 pm

More like “Hay guise. I’m eating lol.”

37 emily rachel 06.23.09 at 3:42 pm

marmoset, marmoset!

38 cosmiquemuffin 06.23.09 at 3:59 pm

TEWTELLY MOGWAI!!!!

39 Sarah 06.23.09 at 5:01 pm

Aargh, I love his little semicircular mouf and want to beep his nose. I KNOW it isn’t practical or kind to keep marmosets as domestic pets, but LORD it’s tempting.

40 lucy's mommeh 06.23.09 at 5:25 pm

I love these little critters. The one at the zoo-I can’t stop looking at it…there’s SOMETHING going on behind them little eyes.

41 leslie thomas 06.23.09 at 5:51 pm

…From the “Not Much for Marmosets but Happy for Those who get their Jollies thusly …
but ENNYway…Department…

re. the Caption/ song lyric: did ennyone else channel Rita Moreno,
from the dayz uv “The [ORIGINAL] Electric Company” ….???
[to be hollered, at top of one's lungs, as a BROAD, not in genteel, ladylike or appropriately Catholic manner...]

45 cobratoes 06.23.09 at 9:31 pm

46 greenfly 06.24.09 at 1:46 am

47 Jamie 06.24.09 at 5:51 am

49 chanpon 06.24.09 at 9:58 am

How come I can only think of Isaac on the Love Boat doing his little trigger-fingers pointing?

50 Mike D. 06.24.09 at 11:46 am

Once again I must point out that this dude is a distant but more-or-less direct cuzz of all of us humans. Kinda kewl in a rodentious sorta way, n’est pas?

51 Katie 06.24.09 at 3:58 pm

Looks like a cross between a wookie and an ewok. Must ba a HUGE Star Wars fan!

52 Blueindy 06.24.09 at 6:43 pm

This little creature is so cute I feel like my head is going to explode from the power of it’s cuteness.

53 Kelsey 06.25.09 at 2:11 pm

Marmoset, there’ll be days like this.
There’ll be days like this, marmoset.
(Marmoset, marmoset!)
There’ll be days like this, my marmoset.

(“RoDentious” !!!??? Awesome new vocabulary term!!)

55 Beth 06.28.09 at 8:26 am

Am I the only one who thinks this could be Chewbacca as a baby?

56 becky 06.29.09 at 10:35 am

Don’t feed it after midnight. Don’t get it wet.

57 shannon 07.05.09 at 7:43 am
