To that end: LONG-TAILED-TIT-HANCE!

    Tit hance? Tit action?

    Did I wander into the wrong section of the Internets.
    :D

  2. boaks says:

    lol, you said “tit”

  3. Emi says:

    Oooh this one looks REAL! I BELIEVE!

    a cotton ball with legs it is

  4. doggabone says:

    I haven’t stopped giggling over that since the last post. Posting pictures of boobies was a regular “thing” on the forum I frequented, way back when. And I haven’t matured one whit.

  5. Paunchie says:

    I still say it was McKay’s buntings!

    And I looove that pic! It’s my wallpaper now.

  6. chanpon says:

    Gak, more walking flying dust bunnies.

    Do you think he would need a tiddy-bear if he had to wear a seat belt?

  7. Paunchie says:

    Oh and AND! Where’s the long tail on that long tailed tit? Hmm?

    McKay’s bunting I sez.

  8. Meg says:

    While we’re on the topic, this video was also sent in with accompanying text: “Pip is a long tailed tit who’s tail feathers have broken. He has recovered from a broken right leg and a broken left wing. However, he has not recovered full mobility so will not be able to be released into the wild.”

    LOVE the musak.

  9. Jim N says:

    Do NOT do a Google search looking for more “tit action”.

  10. Shadyman says:

    @ AuntieMame:
    That’s the first thing I thought of as I looked past the text to the picture. “Wait.. did that just say… NO. It couldn’t have… *skimming text* It DID! It DID say Tit-hance!”

  11. Shadyman says:

    @Jim N:
    The goggles, they do nothing?

  12. Rooanne says:

    The picture and that video – too precious for words.

  13. Estella says:

    eeeeeeee so cute….Meg, I love it when you post tits.

    …o_O
    O_o…

    teehee. I do wildlife rehab and despite the fact that I’m not a 13 yr old boy, I can’t help but snicker to myself whenever someone brings in a bird and I get to say, “Oh, I see you have a bushtit there.”

  14. Estella says:

    Also, I was intrigued to see the side-views of the birdies in the links, so I could actually see their long tails. In the initial post, they looked nearly tail-less, since it was just a full-frontal photo of the tits.

    *runs away giggling*

  15. victoreia says:

    @Shadyman: I believe JimN is warning us that googling “tit action” would return many, many results that do not, in any way, relate to the birds shown above……

    Also, said results would most likely be NSFW (and possibly break laws…..)

  16. cyberpunkrocker says:

    Where I live we have lots of great tits. (pffftttgiggle). They are tentatively starting to sing around this time of the year. (Singing tits? pfffthhh… *snicker*)

  17. Theresa says:

    @Estella, and what about blue tits?

    I bet they even have cute poops.

  21. GeauxGhoti says:

    Would it be too weird for me to ask if anyone knows where I could get a pair of tits for myself? I’d love to have them around the house to snuggle and fondle and take care of… It would be so cool if they bred and made more tiny little tits to sell… OK… Now it’s getting weird…

    All juvenile jokes aside, they really do have lovely songs and they are absolutely the cutest things ever!

    Cute… Not an adjective I’d normally associate with that particular word…

  22. Entropy's Bitch says:

    Hooray for tits! They should be the Official Bird of Breast Cancer Awareness or somthing.

    Resreichen..We’re sisters under the strap. My cups runneth over as well.

  23. SillyGirl says:

    I can has?

  24. AnnRan says:

    To add to the head-exploding cuteness, I’m pretty sure this tit is a baybeeee! That would be an A-cup, I s’pose *giggle*.

    Look at how its floofy belleh feathers are extra soft and floofy – kinda stringeh, even. Totally characteristic of a juvenile birdie.

    Complete and utter adorableness!

  25. Cakes says:

    I loved the pictures of the red squirrels in Sergey’s photostream! Those ear tufts! oh my!

  26. MoonCatty says:

    You guys are killing me.

    I’m snickering at the tit jokes while my head ‘sploads from the cute…

  27. corianne says:

    And this is why I love Cute Overload–I come for the pictures, I stay for the comments.

    And yes, I’ve been giggling like a 12 year old boy at the gratuitous “tit” references.

    Can we follow this post up with one about boobies? Please?

  28. Kar says:

    It looks like something from Just Born but made with coconut.

  29. mie says:

    Yay for more tits on CO! ..ehm… There’s something I never thought I’d say.
    Keeping up with the giggles, let’s not forget this classic BBC news title:

    “Great tits cope well with warming”
    http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/7390109.stm

  30. Hon Glad says:

    It is probably white and floofy, cos it’s been a bleedin cold winter, even in mildish Britain (we usually get warm air from the Gulf Stream) and white to camouflage him against the snow.
    I have first hand experience of Google rude results, I was doing across word and the clue was something like…The daughters of Agamenon…” I Googled” Who were the daughters of Agamenon” and got the result “Meet my daughters and their hot tight p***ies” and it wasn’t pasties.
    MEG If the soundtrack is Muzak then I could bare going into venues that use it.

  31. Pebble says:

    Tits are the cutest things… this video Meg posted here just killed me, specially when the tit rubs against the keeper’s hand ^^

  32. BStrange says:

    @Meg – Hippity, hoppity, bedraggled birdie! Another of my soft spots has been found. It looks like Pip is getting around pretty well for being grounded, and very chipper for being so raggedy. What a sweetie.

    Also, I hereby promise not to make any jokes about tits bouncing around. Really. I swear. His birdie hoppings are just too cute for that. *coughs and shuffles guiltily toward the rest of the Eternally Immature Horde*

    That one in the photo at the top of the page, though? Padded. Or silicone. There is just NOT THAT MUCH CUTE FLUFF IN NATURE. Even the angora bunny babies must bow down in awe!

  33. Bada says:

    *THUD*

  34. Susan says:

    @cyberpunkrocker: about 6 years ago, my husband, my grownup daughter and I visited our cousins in Vienna. We also did a lot of birding. We got into the elevator in our elegant downtown hotel and I was talking about all the “great tits” we had seen in the hedges near the Hofburg. Other passengers, clearly German-speaking but English-understanding, glared at me — and my daughter was wildly embarrassed. I tried to explain to the other passengers that it was the English name for one of their birds, but I couldn’t remember the German name (fyi, it’s Kohlmeise) so I am not sure I convinced them. Ever since, we have had a family agreement not to name the bird. We just call it “the default bird of the Austria trip”. Kind of like calling “Macbeth” “the Scottish play”.

    Cute birdie! Thanks for the (I won’t say it!)-hance!

  35. Snorglepup says:

    Is the Snickering Lounge open yet?

    [It's always *SNERK* o'clock somewhere. ;) - Ed.]

  36. Jess&Friends says:

    Hm, hovertext what?

    I want a ‘fear’ coat! : )

  37. Nekussa says:

    I am not afraid of its fear coat! Needs more fearsomeness.

  38. Theresa says:

    [Right by the Snackering Bar. - Ed.]

  51. Katrina says:

  52. Lucy's Mommeh says:

    Oh, thanks for the video Meg. Now I gotta go check my blood sugar….

  53. pounce says:

    Ahahah! I love the Blackadder link!

    We have bush tits living in our back yard. They made a nest and everything last spring. I like being able to say “Hey! Watch out for the tits!” to my friends. :)

    [Like you'd even need to tell us... - Ed.]

    @resrie

    48E here. I wish mine were as perky as these cute little fluffballs!

  56. Noelegy says:

    EEK! Love Theresa for making “Blackadder” references!

  57. raiu9 says:

    When I mentioned “Bushtits” to my coworkers, they thought I was watching porn. True story.

  58. Chitinmaster says:

    MOAR TITS!!

  59. Queen of Dork says:

    I think this is one of the funniest comment threads I’ve seen on here!
    *heads to the Snickering Lounge to join the party*

  60. kibblenibble says:

    Tits are nice, but I prefer boobies.

    *leaps headlong into the snickering lounge, tossing rainbow glitter and shouting “Wheeee!*

  61. Claudia C. says:

    ROFLMAO!
    I am SO happy to be among such a well-endowed, punny, snerkering, snickering, folk. May this never end.

    Anybody want to race to the Lounge? “snick” “snerk” All this talk of tiny round floofy birdies has me all aflutter.

    feeling faint…. *thud*

  62. resriechan says:

    @ kibblenibble:

    WOW!!! “rainbow glitter”!! now THAT’s a GLORIOUS idea!!

    MUCH better than “t*t” jokes!!! LOVE THE RAINBOW GLITTER!!! yeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeHAW!!!!!!

  63. Teresa says:

    @Meg :( AWW :( Poor little Pip :( I am so glad that he is in a safe place :) If it is possible, maybe you could place him with a female Long-Tailed Tit that is also unable to be released into the wild :) The two of them could raise babies that can be released into the wild :) Just a thought :)
