Gee, Your Hair Smells Like Chipmunk

The YouTube user who uploaded this video swears the chipmunk fell asleep in her hair, and that it’s only dead tired, not actually dead. Decide yourself, or just giggle.

    Well, that’s a crazy way to start a Friday workday…

    I can’t say I’ve ever had a chipmunk fall asleep in my hair, but I can dream.

  2. Blanche says:

    I vote for sleeping….

    • WendyLady says:

      Definitely sleeping. You can see the behbeh breathing. (note the head is slightly bobbing)

      • Snowpea says:

        zakly! but boy, someone’s gonna wake up with a neck-ache :singsong:

        • mplsdeb says:

          That is exactly what I was thinking. OMG, if slept like that…it would be a couple of days before I could move my head.
          Love the little heady bobbing with each breath.

  3. Amandine says:

    …This could very-well-be the start of a new fashion trend!
    Now I want a little chippy furball accessory to wear in my hair x)

  4. 260Oakley says:

    Darn scalpers can be such a nuisance.

  5. Martha in Washington says:

    This video just begs SOOO many questions…How? Why? Where? WTF?

    • LisaLassie says:

      And the biggest question of all: why oh why don’t I have a cheepmunk in MY hair???

    • opalsky says:

      Martha in Washington, I’m with you…she could have intro’d with the how-why-where,
      then shown the video. I don’t believe it’s dead, but she ”planted” it there to see
      what would happen. Enjoy your 15 minutes of Fame.

  6. LisaL says:

    Best hair accessory ever? I think so! Where can I get one?

  7. Bashful says:

    Umyeah… I can’t come in to work today: It’s the darndest thing…

  8. tracylee says:

    Fascinating.

    • 260Oakley says:

      I think you’re on to something, tracylee. This not actually a rodent stuck in someone’s hair. It is one of those things called a fascinator. You know, those things that look like plates, live birds, cutlery, that British women like to stick in their hair at weddings. It makes just as much sense to shove a chipmunk-shaped object in your ‘do.

      • kimmaroo says:

        At my house, we call them “cat TV” (chipmunks, that is). If I had a chipmunk in my hair, I’d have 2 feline fascinators in my hair as well. There are just some things in life you cannot change and this is one of them.

        • Lindie says:

          Funny..in MY house we refer to the aquarium as “cat TV”…must be a different dialect

          • kimmaroo says:

            If we acquired an aquarium, I’m sure it would be cat TV for a brief period and then it would become the fishin’ hole if I know my GBCWBGE. The other 2 hooligans would be close behind.

      • tracylee says:

        ;) glad you picked up on the play on words
        here I thought it had gone unnoticed!

        • skippymom says:

          I once heard the term fascinator used to refer to some kind of fire starter, like a special kind of kindling or something. But we would not start a fire with Mr. Chippy.

          • tracylee says:

            etymology lesson!
            word origin: fasc- Latin, bundle or (sometimes) log

          • Fird Birfle says:

            YAY etymology!!!
            and FWIW tracylee, ya done better than average.
            That’s one that I didn’t already know, so thx !

          • @skippymom – I so like some of your posts – I must add this – in my Gramma’s day there was such a thing as a Fascinator for a pretty lady to wear – they used a refined drape of delicate net-lace – material around their hair and as it sometimes was used to semicover the face – the lady used it to peek out at the Gentleman of her fancy – and this was designed to “fascinate” him and make him her love for ever – Works ?? sure it does – but it is an “evening thing”
            “If there be any lie in what I say – blame not me but the one who told me”

          • Sharpy says:

            me thinks the fascinator benefits the not-so-pretty lady as well.

        • kimmaroo says:

          Unnoticed? Nevar! :-)

          • Cholmondeley says:

            Wait a minute there… we are irresistibly drawn to stare at… bundles? Etymology FTW or WTF?

      • bookmonstercats says:

        Our Lady Mayoress attended a thanksgiving service for her husband’s year in office at our parish church. She wore a fascinator that looked just like a pair of pink bunny ears. She’s a lovely lady, so no-one had the heart to tell her.

  9. yolanda says:

    Awww, so cute! I saw him breathing so I know he’s for real! You need long hair to make a chipmunk hammock, LOL

  10. coel says:

    If Maru was in Chipmunk size, he would be doing this, but probably head in, tail out. :D

  11. (The Original) Mel says:

    Gee, that is terrific.

  12. had a bantam cock named charlie who thought he was my hat. this is much cuter and looks much more comfortable

  13. Jessica says:

    Chippy is about to wake up with a terrible neck ache.

  14. flutterby says:

    Blissfully dreaming of piles of peanuts already shelled for him.

    I want a Chippy Clippy for my hair !!

    • Z.R. says:

      That sounds like those “Snap-On Feathers” i’ve been seeing everywhere, exept with a much catchier name and more tastful. speaking of which, I yanked Mr. McChippersons out of that persons hair and nommed him down. Sorry. >:)

  15. Stella says:

    SNORF his tiny little throat!!!

  16. cellarmouse says:

    Of course he’s sleeping … he’s a pet … anyway, who would stick a dead chipmunk in their hair?

  17. skippymom says:

    I am finding it impossible to decide which is funnier, a chipmunk sleeping in someone’s hair or a ded chipmunk in someone’s hair. I guess I will have to acquire two chipmunks, one alive and one ded, try both in my own hair, and see which amuses me more. But wait, how will I get the live one to fall asleep? Perhaps have him play with the cats until he is really tired? Is it time to go home yet? (leads self off, murmuring soothing words)

    • cellarmouse says:

      oh, i see, i got sent to the lounge cause i couldn’t spell ded…

      • skippymom says:

        It’s a tough lesson, but one that we all have to learn. Here’s a Nutty Buddy to get you through the wait.

    • Fird Birfle says:

      for skippymom:

      And here at the Society for Prevention of Overly Cute, you get lime jello on Thursdays at lunch. We have this nice white jacket for you; with loooooooooong soothing arms. Here, try it on :)

      • skippymom says:

        Ooh, jacket…so…comfy….What kind of jello do I get on Friday?

        • Fird Birfle says:

          Cherry Jello!!!
          And dinner is chipped beef. Isn’t that marvelous???

          • skippymom says:

            Chipped beef creamed on toast with canned peas? That’s my favorite!

          • Fird Birfle says:

            *nods reassuringly*
            Yup. CANNED peas!!!!

          • Theresa says:

            EW 8O

          • kimmaroo says:

            Canned peas can be quite edible if they’re enrobed in tuna macaroni salad with a mug of tomato soup on the side.

          • SlaveToCat says:

            That’s Chipped Beef not Chippy Beef right….. 8)

            I think I will stick with the creamed tuna on toast with peas just to be safe.

          • skippymom says:

            I was once in a fish and chips place in London and the menu let you choose “mushy peas” or “garden peas”. I thought it would be cooler to get the mushy ones but I was too scared.

          • victoreia says:

            @skippymom: You do know what they call that in the army, don’t you? 8-O

          • skippymom says:

            Huh? What they call what? You lost me.

          • SlaveToCat says:

            Ship on a Shingle ……aka Chipped Beef on Toast.

          • victoreia says:

            @SlaveToCat: ….but substitute a “T” for the “P” in that first word, there…….

          • bookmonstercats says:

            Hopefully this will arrive under skippymom’s comment about the mushy peas. They are large marrowfat peas that, literally, go mushy when they are simmered, having first been soaked overnight. You either love ‘em or hate ‘em. Food of the gods, as far as I’m concerned.

            Now…. chipped beef…. on toast….? Dare a Brit ask??

          • Sharpy says:

            chipped beef on toast is like the war ration equivalent of bangers and mash. the recipe actually says, “serve on toast.”

          • Nikki says:

            Chipped beef on toast gives me the shivers. My grandmother used to make it. Those little pink shingles of meat… The Horror!

          • Fird Birfle says:

            *some days this webpage is SO MOOOSCH FUN –
            WHEEEEEEEEeeeeeeeeeeEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!” :)

    • LisaLassie says:

      I fear that having cheeper play with the cats will lead to the dead one.

    • kimmaroo says:

      Submitted for your consideration: Chipmunk is neither ded nor sleeping. It’s just playing possum. 8O

  18. orange says:

    soooo fashionabuhls.

  19. Fird Birfle says:

    *tosses confetti*

    “SLEPPY” TAG !!!!
    YAY & YippppppppeeeeeeeeeeEEEEEEEEEeeee!!!!

  20. Moi, Actually says:

    Obvy a Norwegian Blue chipmunk–resting.

  21. DaytimeDeb says:

    I thought the term was “rats nest,” but I guess we have a new term, “Chipmunk nest?”

  22. Cambridge Rat Mom says:

    Baroo??!!

  23. hirish says:

    Are those little SNORES I hear?!?
    *ded*!

  24. Ayeesha says:

    What if he, um, relieves himself in her hair? What if he’s tooting in there? lol. These are the things that keep me up at night.

  25. y knot says:

    Ayeesha reminded me of Johnny Carson and the marmoset on his head in one of the funniest evah clips from vintage Tonight Show. Yeah, I know…marmoset there’ll be days like this (my marmoset).

  26. julie b says:

    Gonna wash that ‘munk right outta my hair…. (picture musical notes with that phrase).

    Brought to you via the musical “South Pacific”.

  27. Excuse me peeps but you are all missing the fact that there is an axis of snorgaling there for the taking…

    and it is just begging for a snorgle!

  28. Birdcage says:

    I want a log cabin.

  29. Vigs says:

    That is some serious log cabin going on there. He could saw logs with his snores and there’d be plenty to choose from. What a cool house!

  30. Sukiri says:

    Believe it or not this actually happened to me… a terrified chipmunk running away from a cat climbed up my jeans, up my shirt and into my hair (which is very long) where it cowered shaking until finally falling asleep half an hour later. Yeah, it was asleep, not dead… I put it in a safe place and watched it wake up an hour later and run away. :-)

  31. Nikki says:

    Okay, soooo many things to take in and process here. First, we have a chipmunk who is inexplicably sleeping upside down in this gal’s hair. How did this happen? Secondly, she is in a very rustic log cabin with snow shoes on the wall! How cool is that? Who is this nature lover and how in the world did she teach her chipmunk to sleep in her ponytail? More importanly WHY did she teach her chipmunk to sleep in her ponytail!?

    • Jean says:

      I’m sure this is the same woman whose cat climbed up onto her head while she was brushing her teeth – although she was a brunette then – anyone else remember that? She had to record it because “nobody believed me”. Can we see the other side of her head?

      • ash says:

        yup. saw it!

      • kimmaroo says:

        My little tuxie used to French kiss me after I brushed my teeth. If it meant climbing or jumping onto my head and taking out one of my eyeballs, then that’s how it had to be. She was gaga for peppermint.

        • hilz says:

          My cat ALWAYS tries to make out with me if I smell like peppermint!! If I put on minty lip balm she is allll over it, which is adorable for the split second before you wonder when was the last time they washed their bits…

        • Theresa says:

          My Stinky was the same way. After brushing, I’d get into bed, and he’d jump up, and try to pry my mouth open. He was very scent-susceptible. I swear he once got high on a bowl of mushroom-barley soup.

      • Momof13cats says:

        Exactly what I thought! What is it about her noggin that brings all the boys to the yard?!

      • Quizkid says:

        I thought that too–something about her smile. I looked at the two videos together and I’m still not sure. Other opinions?

  32. snoopysnake says:

    Chipmunks! Sure beats feather extensions!

  33. Ozbirds says:

    Must…snorgle…chipmunk…neck.

  34. JannieWolf says:

    I used to have a chipmunk named Chippy. He only ate out of my hand in my backyard, never sat in my hair. I wish he did tho. I

  35. kar says:

    Wow, she’s going to need something stronger than lice shampoo to get read of that. Seriously, I thought that bed-bug infestations were scary.

  36. Anita says:

    –How’s it hanging, Chipster?
    –Cute, limp and unconscious. :P

  37. Ali-Baba says:

    Looks like we need to call the Kratt brothers for a creature rescue! Davita has gone and frozen a chipmunk ! ;-)

  38. quirkybeeper says:

    WANT!!!

    Dear Santa……..plz bring chippy hairpiece. kthx

  39. This thread is SO a keeper – I am going to Bookmark it – I have updated my Firefox and I can come back here when ever I want and visit with you guys – O M G – such brilliant posting – way beyond cute

  40. Johna Klym says:

    all i can say is: omg… is that cute!!!

  41. Lerrinus says:

    On screens all over the nation,
    A scene causes shocked indignation:
    A sleepy Cheep Munk
    Is caught with a young punk*
    And ends up in a hairy situation!

    *I’m sure the chicklette’s not a punk, I just needed the rhyme, pleeeease forgive me! :-(

  42. BUFFEH says:

    If said Chipmunk was in fact deceased, there would be no way, no how, no day, anybody would calmly put it in their hair. On the flip side, that woman is freakishly serene. Either way I’d be freaking out. She must be amazing in a crisis.

  43. 6Rabbits says:

    Yep, the chipmunk is adorabuls and I want to nom his leetle throat…but, the conversation…this is why, even when I’m stupid-tired, I always peruse the comments at 100+ , cos I know there is some crazy, bizarre, wildly tangential dialog going on here! Keep it up! :-)

  44. Patty P says:

    Did you hear the wee one ringing? Some one answer the vibrating ‘munk phone! Turn up your speakers and tell me what that is, if not the furball.

    I wantz one!

  45. Tiger says:

    Forget the mascot, she-is-so-beautiful… I too could sleep near of her hair.
