The SSPT is the act of opening one eyelid just enough to see who’s out there, but not enough to tip them off that you’re awake, in case they turn out to be dorks.
Once perfected, the SSPT can only be detected with a… PEEK-HANCE!
The Sneaky Sleepy Peek Technique
April 15, 2011 By
COATIMUNDI????
PS: BEEP!
kittehs are very good at this technique!
Yes, indeed! Good for lulling humans into thinking the kitteh is not annoyed with you. (Until kitteh’s teeth are sunk in your hand. Or your ankle…..)
posted three days ago?
baroo?
Clearly, all my hard work is paying off, and I have now mastered the art, not only of the SSPT, but also OF TIME TRAVEL.
Maybe NTMTOM got moderashun? Serve ‘im right!
And, *SNERK*
It’s probably me. All my space-time-genetic engineering experiments culminating in my Invisible Stable of Interdimensional Husbands™ may have had one or two unintended consequences.
curse you for messing with the S-T C without getting each and every one of us our very own Invisible Stable™! if you’re going to do it at least do it right…
I agree. Theresa could provide the central core of her IS of IHs, namely Colin Firth and NOMTOM, and we can all add our own personal preferences as we go along.
Everybody can have their own IS™ AND someone can be in more than one at once!! INTER-DIMENSIONAL!!! Get it?
But but BUT. EVERYBODY CAN have one! That’s the earth-shattering GENIUS of the thing~!!!
So Colin Firth can be in my IS too then?
YES!!! That’s the genius of it! Colin Firth for everyone!
*Gasp* Now I get it. Sqeeeee
There’s still time to nominate me for a Nobel Prize.
Let’s do the time warp again…
Let’s do the time warp again!
What is coming out of it’s nose. Is it a worm?
is it a misplaced apostrophe?
hehehe
No shortage of those.
Looks like the bebeh raccoon’s nose is shaped a lot like a dog’s…that’s a little pink nostril off to the side.
Looks like a worm.
SSPT is the opposite of YEEM!
OMG! I thought it was just me. I do this all the time when I don’t want to have that last late night chat with Mr. Hubbywonderfulness…
Um, not to be cruel, but what’s up with his nose? Is that an earworm peaking out, or an extra bright nosicle lining?
Extensive google research seems to indicate that this is the natural shape of the nosicle
Does it look like he’s got a little nose ring to anyone else?
It does look like a nose ring on that beepable little nosicle. Is it a coatamundi?
totally looks like a nose ring! that’s hilarious…
A nose ring! I thought it was just an interestingly-shaped nose swirl.
Nose ring?? Y’all are keelingk me! Looks like a babeh coati, but not 100% on that…
Da feets are so shiny and new too!
Dat’s a baby racoonie!
Coatimundi! They’re related.
Whatever it is, it fits neatly into that person’s hand!! *swoon*
I am transfixed by the shiny paw. It’s like One. Giant.Toebean! (A footbean?!?)
Sleepy coatimundi is all “talk to the paw, I’m snoozing here…”
HAHAHA PECANS!!!
NOMTOM, why are you so wonderful?
I love a good hover!!!
AND it indicates that NTMTOM pronounces “pecans” correctly – “pee-cans” not “peh-cahns” or some other such nonsense.
(aaaand commence dialect war…now!)
SSPT active. Let’s see what we’ve got out there…. Hypercolor shirt, argyle pants, and — oh no, seriously? Birks with socks? Attention brain: Shift all activity to playing possum. Er, raccoon. Or whatever I am.
Confirmed: Affirmative, Mission Control, we have a Dork.
I love the super wheeskery muzzlepowsche. I want to put my cheek near it to see if it teekles. (No, not that cheek!)
Squee! Based on this little guy, do I smell a new Rule of Cuteness?
Zee szleepy poquito bandito es muy cansado, peeps.
Looks like a baby coonie to me. That’s a coon paw for sure. Adorableness!
So does the SSPT make this little guy a Peeky McPeekersons?
Sneaky is waiting for you to leave so he can steal the doormat and escape through the cat door.
And the peek shall inherit the mirth.
Out STANDING.
How the HECK DO YOU DO THAT?????
Sets down food… stands up and gives a round of Applause. Truely impressive..
Also Snicker.
Oh Bravo!!!
Little creature is adorable, racoon or coatamundi or whatever he is. How lucky to get to hold one for a nap!
Hey, I’m Bubba’s mum too!
My Bubba is a pom-mix
HALP! I just got my invite to vote on the Webbys and couldn’t get them to pull up cute overload!! I tried to vote like a stoat, but to no avail !
So, let me get this straight: a racCOON, with ears like Beechnut Fruit Stripe gum and pre-ring-tailio, just dissed me and my choice of comfortable footwear?
I, my leetle proto-bandito, am A SCIENCE NERD and NOT a dork (I wear contacts).
I would like a paw-HANCE on this little guy. He has the best feets.
He has leather feeties. me loves.
Super cute!!! I agree with Jessy – paw-hance!!!
Also, I found this to be another tre-cute coatimundi:

(note the right front paw curling around the finger)
=D
Definitely a baby COON. The muzzle isn’t long enough for a coati.
And yes, all their nosicles look like that:

He is not sufficiently needle-nosed for a coati? *abashed*
Cute! I did that on Christmas Eve once when I was a kid, and I thought I saw Santa. It might have just been my dad.
“In case they turn out to be dorks.” (raises hand)
Guilty.
Yeah, there’s no gettin’ away from that one. Bask in it, I say.
Peek-hance sounds like pecans… now I get it!
I can be a bit slow sometimes.
tanks, kbnb! i was too shy to ax…
Thanks, coming as many of us do from a country that pronounces ‘em puhKAHNZ.
As in, I put the puhKAHNZ down by the VAHZE, not the PEEK-HANCE by the VACE.
Now, where I come from, we say PEE CANS.
Has an attack of the vapours and huffs a kitten at the very thought of anyone saying p**.
From where I’ve been, we used pee cans to do #1 and we ate peKAHN pie, but each to her own, I always say. Far be it from me to tell you what to do with your pee-cans.
yea, me too, dub1, and the aunts in my family are definitely AHNTS, as opposed to the little bugs out in the yard.
def a baby raccoon there, i’ve seen enough of the show “hope for wildlife” to recognise a baby coon anywhere. that show features mass numbers of itty bitty coon orphans being tube or bottle fed.
Doesn’t look like a Tasmanian devil to anyone else?
