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

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.?

    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…

    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!

    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 says:

    @ 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 says:

    Nosferretu…AWESOME.

    Send Maru in to the rescue!

  20. Kelsey says:

  22. Wvaden says:

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

  23. Mary (the first) says:

    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 says:
