Bono, Sting, Stevie Wonder, Elvis Costello, Phil Collins, Cyndi Lauper, Willie Nelson, and Bob Geldof are on Stand-By

by Prongs on October 27, 2009

It’s rumored that Bono has already written the lyrics; and if he stops conducting foreign policy initiatives for the White House, you know the situation must be dire. Poor little Topper. One minute he’s playing with abandon, the next he’s falling down a well into a cardboard box.

Listen furless beings, can’t you see I’m trying to take a nap here?

'It puts the lotion in the basket?' You can put whatever the hell you want in your basket, I'm going to sleep.

Sing as many songs about me as you like – I don’t care. Just don’t tell that Angelina Jolie about this. She’ll see I’m sleeping on kitchen towels, assume I need rescuing, and before I know it, my name will be changed to Toppox.

All right, Mr. DeMille, I'm ready for my close-up.

What do you use to wash dishes, Kat C.?

Love the Silence of the Lambs reference!

OMG, the hands, the HANDS! I had ferrets years ago and I really miss those little devils.

Ferret! I miss mine so! (I’m at college. She’s at home under the watchful loving care of her “grandma” (my mother).)

13 BWO 10.27.09 at 11:23 am

OMG, look at the little handsies in the second picture. They are all “looke at me…my little handsie is coveringks my little chest”…!

14 Suzanne 10.27.09 at 11:26 am

Anyone else reminded of the “Two And A Half Men” episode with John Lovitz?

“Save the ferrets…ahhhh-ah-ah! Save the ferrets…ahhh-ah-ah!” *ferret paws waving in the air holding mini bic lighters*

or

Bless the ferrets and the children…
Keep them safe, keep them warm…

or

It’s a knee sock life for us!
It’s a knee sock life for us!
Instead of hammocks
We get boxes
People call us
Furry soxes
It’s a knee sock life for us!
Got no home to speak of, so
It’s a knee sock life we hoe!

I think there was a Times op-ed by Nicholas Kristoff about this.

16 Metz 10.27.09 at 11:45 am

At last, the sun began to sink below the horizon, and as it did, something dark began to stir deep within the box labeled “kitchen towels.” Its paws flexed instinctively as it slowly woke, the claws ready to begin their evil work. And then it yawned, and its fangs glowed an eerie white in the almost total darkness. Long and sharp, those teeth would soon seek out precious things to rip and puncture. Like swim goggles — those would do, with the rubber seals around the edges. Or a shoe insole, the stinkier the better.

Whatever the hapless victim, one thing was certain: Within a few short hours, the entire world would know the wrath of NOSFERRETU.

18 Suzanne 10.27.09 at 12:18 pm

@ Argyle DP…*groan* but I’ve got to admit, this little guy is WAY cuter than the bald, pointy eared, pointy fingered thing in the silent movie!

19 Saffron 10.27.09 at 12:50 pm

Nosferretu…AWESOME.

Send Maru in to the rescue!

20 Kelsey 10.27.09 at 1:06 pm

I miss my woozles. This one looks just like my Maggie. (if anybody needs me- I’ll be under my desk; sobbing.)

21 LovesDogs 10.27.09 at 1:30 pm

Curled up ferret paws — extremely adorabuhls!

22 Wvaden 10.27.09 at 1:49 pm

I haven’t seen Silence of the Lambs. I thought the hover text was from Joe Dirt.

23 Mary (the first) 10.27.09 at 2:23 pm

It is, indeed, very cute. At first glance I thought it was a ‘possum. The shiny pink nose confuzzed me for a bit.

24 HoneyBunny 10.27.09 at 2:24 pm

Toppox!

That made me giggle.

25 Kat Craven 10.27.09 at 3:05 pm

LOL…I woke up this morning to my business of four ferrets wrasslin’ around and thought “It’s about time CO does something with ferrets again…” Psychic? Maybe. Then again…it’s always time for more ferrets in my book.

@ Jezebel:

So, I take it, then, that you *HAVE* seen the film “The Silence of the Lambs”????

And, in a followup question: Are you recovered, now????
Sounds like you had quite the enjoyable 15 minutes above !!!!
