He has a Great Personality

Eugene suffered through some serious awkward years as a teen, and his school photos were often punctuated by headgear, scoliosis, a lazy eye, and pigeon toes. But no more! Today Eugene became Sharper Image Employee of the Month, and he’s never felt more handsome.

    I think I don’t get the hovertext! “-1″?? Is this something the kids are saying these days?

    Eugene. You’re beautiful!

  3. MadameX says:

    Is this an Affenpinscher (spel.)? They are such funny-looking dogs – like the love child of aTamarin monkey and a Pomeranian…

    Don’t feel too sorry for Eugene. One day while hanging with his nerdy little buddies, a lightbulb will go off in head and he will be responsible for bringing us the next quantum leap in computing. He will make millions, marry some arm candy and endow several philanthropic foundations for advancing the tech aspirations of other small black dogs with lazy eye. All this while the Jock dogs from HS go on to be managers of the local fastfood joint and spend every saturday night talking about their now defunct HS football careers while they drink inferior beer.

    Hairy Squatter sticks his tongue out at all the Muggles making fun of his hairdo.

  11. Andi from NC says:

    Love the tongue action!!!

  12. Rachael says:

    That’s the worst 5:00 shadow I’ve ever seen!! :D

    What a cutie patootie! If anybody makes fun of him it’s only because they’re jealous – of his oogly boogly eyes or his ridiculous(ly adorable) hair, not to mention that leetle peenk tongula.

  16. AmandaZ says:

  26. Resriechan says:

    Can an animal who/ which (presumably) does not sleep in/on a bed, have
    “Bedhead”?????

  27. Cashew says:

    @Polly, those guys are awesome, and he looks just like them! If I had a folder on my desktop called “under the bed”, those guys would be the icon!

  28. Eugene can afford to be smug:
    Rumor hazzit that he is next-in-line for promotion to Second Assistant to the First Assistant to the CEO…. (and all the girls in the office are making bigger googley eyes at him than his own kinda-protruding ones) :shock:

  29. Brenda says:

    Personality
    Lyrics by Johnny Mercer

    When Madam Pompadour was on a ballroom floor
    Said all the gentlemen “Obviously,”
    “The madam has the cutest personality”

    And think of all the books about Du Barry’s looks
    What was it made her the toast of Paree?
    She had a well-developed personality

    (What did Romeo see in Juliet?)
    (Or Figaro in Figarette?)
    (Or Jupiter in Juno?)
    You know!

    And when Salome danced and had the boys entranced
    No doubt it must have been easy to see
    That she knew how to use her personality

    (A girl can learn to spell and take dictation well)
    (And never sit on the boss’s left knee)
    (Unless she’s got a perfect personality)

    (A girl can get somewhere in spite of stringy hair)
    (Or even just a bit bowed at the knee)
    (If she can show a faultless personality)

    Why are certain girls offered certain things
    Like sable coats and wedding rings?
    By men who wear their spats right?
    (That’s right!)

    So don’tcha say “I’m smart and have the kindest heart”
    Or “what a wonderful sister I’d be” …
    Just tell me how you like my
    “Rufff!!
    Personality!

    Baby, you’ve got the cutest
    Personality!!
