Teeny stoat tongue too hard to resist…must go vote now…

It is done.
The leetle vote is cast.
OMG, mini stoat tongue. Commencing explosion in 3, 2, 1…
If I vote like a stoat can I give a shout for a stout?
(Tammany Hall bought votes with beer, so there is historical precedence.)
I have obeyed my Stoaty masters.
Gotta go vote! (CO for the gold!) And cute stoat.
Due to extreme stoat cuteness, I may have voted twice … with two different logins…
heez very streect orduhs tell me to do eet at all costs
too much pressure! too much pressure!
Adorabulls!
Uhm… what is that Selleck website, is it some reference I’m missing?
I just voted – good luck CO!!
I am now a stoat because I cast my vote.
Go, CO.
Now I’m a poet, and you really know it.
(I blame the stoat tongue – it’s ‘sploded my teeny brain)
I registered to vote, but I can’t figure out how to do it once I’m there! Heeellllppp!
I can’t find you! Heeeeeeeeelllllllpppp! Oh, weird, I’ll look there more carefully.
Voteeeeeed!!!
I deeed eeet.
Hiya
CONGRATS on the award!!! I have been reading this blog for years !!!
The other morning I walked into my office and my kitten was sitting on a earnings report I had printed out the day earlier. The picture was so cute that I decided to make this funny wall poster / sign from it
I call it the “Mar CAT er” – “A Feline Who’s Curious About Marketing”picture….. get it “Mar-ket-er”
Check it out!

Since 2006 I think……wow , has it been 4 years already?

Definitely voted but…you’re against that? That Selleck website is rediculous! Not even in your league. Maybe I don’t get it, but still…
Oh man, I do love Selleck Waterfall Sandwich, though. But he leetle pink tongue is merciless in its demands to vote for CO so I complied.
@Joseph, your kitten is redonkulously cuuuuuute!!!!
Skippymom, it IS hard to figure out. First you click on the big area at the top with all the nominees. Then look for something in the upper right that offers a choice of categories. Click that. CO is in the “weird” category.
Firstly, I’m voting for CO.
Secondly. when Magnum PI was on 30 years ago (gah!) Tom Selleck made my motor purr, baby. He made me drool like a Newf. He made me quiver like a bunneh nose. Just now, as I was looking at that very unique site, I licked my lips and said “oooh, yeah” …when I saw the sandwich in the sixth picture.
Thanks, kibblenibble. I actually just figured it out and voted a minute ago. Just by dumb luck I chose the Weird category and found CO. Why is it in Weird????
skippymom: Why not? Tee hee.

Well, between voting and gardening, I’m cut to ribbons from working in the yard, breaking up some tumbleweed, dried out things and stuffing it into bags. I’m scratched, dirty, sore, tired and happy.
And here are some desert flowers for everybody! And Vote!
done!
QofD, you have TUMBLEWEED in your YARD??!! OK, that does it, I am coming to visit you. I have never seen a tumbleweed in real life.

skippymom: There are tumbleweed all over the place here this time of year. Some of them are quite huge and it’s quite windy in the spring so they roll all over the place and get caught up against fences. I love them! Another of my favorites here in the desert are Road Runners which zoooooooom across the open desert spaces at speeds that seem unreal.
You should visit the desert. Vegas is so much more than just a gambling playground…it’s also a lovely North American desert which is beautiful. At least I think it is.
Tumbleweed and Road Runners! That just seems so alien to someone who has always lived in New England. I’ve been to Europe, but in this country have never ventured west of the East Coast. I hope you don’t let Sam out when the tumbleweeds are blowing around–I have this mental image of him getting caught up in one and flying away!
I have cast my vote for thees website.
@Queenie:
Where’s the TONGUE-HANCE? What a cute little wee stoat tongue!!
eeet eeees done!!!
You had me at “we’ve been nom nom nominated” – you didn’t have to all sinister and break out the stoat tongue. I could barely type!!!
Agree with Pounce – tongue-hance please!!!
@ Theresa
Yea, all I can think of is The Big Lebowski when I hear that song.
What can I say? The dude abides.
@Theresa – if you love the Lennon sisters, you’ve GOT to check this out…..

Not to worry skippymom, SamKitty and Loretta seem to be okay with the Russian Thistle. The real worry is during a Mojave desert wind storm and they blow startlingly across the roads! Motorists, be careful. Thanks for the video, Theresa. I heart this beautiful desert. So lovely, opened spaced and pretty!
QofD, SamKitty and Loretta blow startlingly across the roads??!! Oh, no!!!!!
@Andi- ROFL!!
And somewhat in the same vein:

Here!
Stoat tongue commands me to vote… Must vote stoat… must vote stoat… must vote stoat…
I have been zombified by stoat tongue, but I have voted!
Btw, is a stoat a ferret cousin?
skippymom: Nah. SamKitty and Loretta just sort of lie about in the back yard like big, black, furry slugs doing nothing. Then, when they get hungry, they come inside and yell at me to dump food in their dish. Which I do. I’m quite jealous of their daily agendas compared to mine.
@Theresa – Live SCTV – thanks!!
@QoD – that’s what makes this site great – I always learn something!!!
QoD: At least you don’t have to deal with Asian Tiger mosquitoes…
Not even remotely cute: http://www.fairfaxcounty.gov/hd/westnile/wnvpdf/asiantiger.pdf
@QoD, I put out my lilac geraniums this AM. Can’t wait to see them bloom!
QofD, I am greatly relieved. I was picturing the cats blowing around, smashing car windshields and stuff.
Theresa, I’d never heard of lilac geraniums. Now I am intrigued.
@Skippymom, lilca just refers to the color. They’re very pretty.
Tongue-hance PLEASE!!!
*See Pounce and Andi above
jerilyn: Yuck. The hienie area is filled with the blood of something.
Theresa and skippymom: I love lilacs. Here are some from the beautiful island of Mackinac in Michigan’s UP.
http://www.mackinacblog.com/images/0906lilacs.jpg
HEY! LET’S HAVE THE CO CONVENTION THERE! ON MACKINAC ISLAND, MI!! It’s such a pretty place!
Q0D, not only is Mackinac full of lilacs, it is also full of HORSIES! YAY!
I’ve been checking my lilacs every day–they are all leafed out and should bloom in another week or two, I’m guessing. They’re my favorites of all the stuff that blooms in my yard.
Done, done, done, like a baby bun.
Theresa: I KNOW! I LOVE THAT LITTLE ISLAND! No cars! bikes and horses!
why does this idiot account keep putting my name on here?! Theo, fix please maybe? What the Hoot?!
“Queen of Dork”–ha! we know who you are! No more anonymity for you.
@ Skippymom please to be taking a big sniff of the lilacs for me. They do not grow where I live we have some other mountain kind but they are not the same smell or look of them bursting into bloom. I miss them as next to daffodils tehy are my favorite flowers!
Kitty, as soon as they bloom I will take a huge sniff and send it to you.
I have a lilac blooming right now in a pot on my deck. It smells wonderful, especially on a cool evening. The hummers like it too!
Oh yah, I VOTED!!! A little difficult for me too, but I finally just typed in cute and up popped exactly what I wanted!
@Joseph, I enjoyed the pic of your kitten!
QoD, yes, it’s awesome, it’s sort of like what Disneyland wishes it was.
BLLPPTTT!
skippymom: Gaahhhh!
I
stoated…..I mean, voted!Whew, voting accomplished. Andi and Theresa–great vids! Eugene Levy looks so young!
Theresa: Mackinac Island was the jumping point from which my sister and I launched our “Hobbit Adventure” along the North Country Trail. And points around there.
victoreia: How did you do that line through the word thing?
I’m sorry – but if the category is ‘Weird’, I’m gonna have to go with the Selleck Waterfall Sandwich option. So I just won’t vote – that’s how I’m voting for you.
(that site is insane)
Vote, vote, vote!
Vote like a mighty sailing stoat
He sailed to mackinac,
And this is was he saw,
Lilacs and tumbleweeds,
He said, “My Gosh! I can eat these!”
The waterfall tumbled and crashed below
The stoat said, “WTF?! I’m on CO?!
(WTF meaning, Why the furry?)
Okay. That was terrible. my bad.
Q.o.D. Ha ha ha. We’re probably a month from lilacs here
. They are my favourite spring blossom, though I like peonies, too.
My lilacs are starting to bloom. I voted like a stoat. I like tumbleweeds.
I think that covers it.
Wend: No. way! I love peonies too! Nothing smells like they do. My cat and I just had a petting, sweetie, love you, purring session. I was petting him and he was purring. He’s so spoiled it’s unreal. What a brat. gosh. Why am I letting him live here? Why do I feed him and cater to his every need? I must be a fool.
I just went to the corner store. And some guy was tyring to be all yuck and dangerous and scary to me. So I just did the above scene truly and really I did. And then he figured I must be insane and left me alone. This is fabulous self defense, peeps.
Oh, P.S. – In order to make myself seem more undesriable, while I was performing to be insane, I played each of the above parts to myself at myself and by myself. This made me seem really crazy. Again, ladies, I promote doing this if you are ever accosted by some nut. This will guarantee to out-nut any nut who is trying for you. Seriously. Just do this scene from this movie REALLY LOUD and make it seem like you’re really talking to each person (amongst yourself). Anyone messing with you will go away and be glad to do so.
@QueenofDork, I am not much of a traveller, but I do want to visit Las Vegas for the desert (and New Orleans for the jazz). I also want to visit LV because I’ve discovered the Midnight Louie books by Carole Nelson Douglas and I’m busy ordering them off Amazon to read back to back.
Tumbleweed… amazingks.
