I’ll Also Need a Booster Seat and a Step Ladder, Thanks

Famed critic Anton made a surprise visit to Le’zard and ordered the oddly-paired beluga-stuffed roasted root vegetable appetizer. While delicious, he did have one criticism: the portions were a bit large.

No elbows on the table, but feets are allowed, MissyPantOne?

Les couleurs sont ravissants!!!

Shiiiiiiiiiny!

Cute geck-kko. Those are papaya seeds, I wonder if they’re gecko food. We had a lot of both (geckos and papayas) back in old Hawai’i.

4 Brie 02.05.10 at 8:49 am

Teeny tiny wee tongue!
Also, nice table manners.

5 Molloy 02.05.10 at 8:49 am

We need an extreme close up on that tongue, please!!

6 tink 02.05.10 at 8:49 am

Tongue straaaaaayyyyyyche! Love the splayage in the hind foot

7 Theresa 02.05.10 at 8:59 am

Just 15 minutes could save you– oooh, cantalope. :P

@Resriechan and Cambridge Rat Mom– we have a Bald Eagle sighting on a Hudson pier:

Where’s the “I shall leeck you” tag? :)

The splayed toesies make me go aww.

['Twas a toss-up between Leeck and Eat; Prongs' writeup tipped the balance - Ed.]

10 Reed 02.05.10 at 9:02 am

Tippytoes!
That is definitely a papaya. I would do the same thing for a nibble of that.

11 ceejoe 02.05.10 at 9:11 am

toe-hance, please!
:)

12 260Oakley 02.05.10 at 9:12 am

Geckos are masters of Tongue Fu.

13 StormCat42 02.05.10 at 9:15 am

Wouldn’t this fall in to the “eeehhhnnn” category too?

I bet that tongue is kind of sticky, but it’s still qte!!

14 crackjob 02.05.10 at 9:16 am

Lizard tiptoes are my new everything.

15 Cashew 02.05.10 at 9:16 am

@reed and pooh, ah-ha! I thought it was a butternut squash, and was like “eew, did they stuff that squash with slimy black beans??”
what does papaya taste like? sweet?

16 Lucy 02.05.10 at 9:20 am

Toe splayage=awesome!

17 Lerrinus 02.05.10 at 9:23 am

Beautiful colours! :-)

18 DKN 02.05.10 at 9:42 am

ehn! ehn!

19 Emi 02.05.10 at 9:48 am

ehn! indeed.

love the chubby lizard legs

20 Hon Glad 02.05.10 at 9:58 am

When I grow up, I’m gonna be a T. Rex. None of that ripping your throat out stuff for me,
I’ll have perfect manners. “How lovely to meet you, did you you know your my lunch” Then I’ll rip their head off.

21 Debbe 02.05.10 at 9:59 am

That lil guy can sell me insurance ANY day!!!

22 Theresa 02.05.10 at 10:00 am

Hon Glad, ROFL!

23 erin 02.05.10 at 10:03 am

needs tongue-hance!!!

24 GrammaCool 02.05.10 at 10:10 am

Yes, that is a ripe papaya & those are the seeds. Papayas get to be as big as watermellons – tho you never see them anywhere near fully tree-ripened size in the US. Go to Mexico & you’ll see ! Papayas are YUMMY fruit.

25 Katiedid 02.05.10 at 10:10 am

Tongue and toe-hance :-D
Pweeeeeese *puppydog eyes*

26 Katrina 02.05.10 at 10:11 am

Holy Moley, bad day at Black Rock here physically- but once again the CO vibes have therapized me to into feeling better. Three wonderful posts at the same time _AGGGGAAACCKKK. The lizardo, the fennicio and the tiiny horsie-in the whole intertube, it is just here! Back to bed for me, HI, Peeps have a great day!

27 Courtney 02.05.10 at 10:20 am

Needs feet-hance!!
Also, yes, very much eeeehn.

28 Theresa 02.05.10 at 10:28 am

@Katrina: Fennicio! Sounds like a character in a Mozart opera!!!

29 chanpon 02.05.10 at 10:54 am

That is an awesome display of yoga-toes splayage!

30 Dee 02.05.10 at 10:56 am

I love the toeies

31 resriechan 02.05.10 at 11:03 am

@ Theresa:
I’m saluting!! The photo brings new glitter to the lyric:

“Oh, say, can you see……” !!!!!!

:)

32 AuntieMame 02.05.10 at 11:04 am

This would be a great diet. You’re allowed to eat only what you can reach with your tongue off a table that you can barely get your chin over.

33 Heather 02.05.10 at 11:10 am

Mmmm papaya!

34 Simon 02.05.10 at 11:13 am

“It is my next payment for Geico!”

35 bookmonstercats 02.05.10 at 12:12 pm

AuntieMame – no prob!! If that was the only way I could reach food, I’d reach it.

Beautiful gecko. Even his eye capsules are irridescent. And s/he’s smilinks.

36 Dash 02.05.10 at 12:29 pm

One wonders if their wee feet make hushed “ffffffwock fffffffwock fffffffffwock” sticky noises when they take steps . . .

37 Aoife 02.05.10 at 12:32 pm

Esqueeze me, but tongue and toe C.O.X.C.U.s are needed.

38 Susanna 02.05.10 at 12:36 pm

That would be a papaya, not a root vegetable. Good lizard food…my friend’s iguana loves them.

39 Michelle 02.05.10 at 12:43 pm

I love the swish of blue eyeshadow!

40 Theresa 02.05.10 at 1:14 pm

“‘E ate my mints!” :P

41 earlybird1 02.05.10 at 1:17 pm

260Oakley, you slay me again! ROFL! Your punnery is one of the highlights of CO for me!

42 Theresa 02.05.10 at 1:19 pm

@Dash, reminded me of a Prairie Home Companion, where the sound effects guy was challenged to create the sound of someone tap-dancing with toilet plungers attached to his shoes. :P

43 Katrina 02.05.10 at 1:19 pm

Theresa- yes, he is a character in a very little-known aria by Mozart about a tiiiiiny Fennec Fox who falls in love with a high-society debutant whose name is oh, I’ve forgotten, what is her name, please, Theresa or anyone?

Back to bed, I wish I could stay to play, but I guess this huge storm off the Eastern coast is really wreaking havoc with my hip. Loping off now, “Masssther, how, may I help Youuuuuuuuuuu?”….. (lope, lope)

44 boaks 02.05.10 at 1:58 pm

YAY gecko post! I still need to get a pic of my little dude that’s cute enough to be a submeesh…

45 BStrange 02.05.10 at 11:05 pm

CO is such a great antidote for injury-induced cabin fever. Leeezard…

The foot got me, too: every time I look at it, I see the true inspiration for the “wacky wallwalker” toy; octopus, my, um, foot. Hmm.. I sure hope leez-feet do better in a cat-hair-infested environment than those did.

The only vid I could find of the original, octopusish toy is at the end of a cereal commercial. Borrrring. So I give you, instead, cats vs. sticky wall toys: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=km20kv-oU3I

46 corianne 02.06.10 at 1:05 am

this reminds me a bit of James and the Giant Peach, where they realize that they can eat the peach they are traveling in. Though I question this little guy for going after the seeds, rather than the tasty, tasty fruit.

I heart leezards. I heart leezards so much.

47 platedlizard 02.06.10 at 1:32 am

Cute little day gecko. They eat fruit and nectar as well as little bugs! Papaya is good food for them (I won’t go into the nutritional details why, it’s boring)

48 Q-chan 02.06.10 at 1:50 am

FEETS!!!!!!!!!

That is all.

49 Angel*** 02.06.10 at 3:13 am

Geico gecko in his off time maybe? ^.^

50 Waxwork 02.06.10 at 7:46 am

Is it wrong how much I love his little stumpy ‘tocks. Well if it is I don’t want to be right.

A tongue and toe ‘hance would be nice as we don’t have a better angle on the ‘tocks. Hint Hint.

51 Rowcat 02.06.10 at 7:44 pm

Cute little leezard! I miss studying them in the desert last summer…

And hey! Platedlizard! I wanna hear the boring nutritional stuff! Not only do I love hearing everything there is to know about lizards, but biological knowledge in general is HAPPY FUN TIMES!
C’mon, nerd out! You know you wanna…

52 urbankiss 02.08.10 at 4:46 am

that’s a papaya..

53 judith 02.13.10 at 1:22 am

A teeny lizard AND and delicious paw paw? Who can resist!
