[Or is it "Blorpiest?" -Ed]
To tell the truth, I think it’s the Manatee in a landslide, but the Hippo is awful cute. Have at it.
Manatee from Da Intertubes, discovered by Mrs. Brinke. Hippo photo from The Telegraph by way of Cesar March/Barcroft Media.
Blorpy, blorpier, blorpiest, most blorpiestest.
“It’s the most blorpiest time of the year…”
Ain’t that the truth? Either one of these could be me, post-office-holiday-party.
@ teh Skippymom:
“tee hee, tee heeier, tee heeiest.”
The hippo looks anorexic compared to Mr. Manatee.
um?
I won, I won!!!
But I almost answered #4 thinking that the reference to the wombat reference might be a very tricky trick question :~)
But I do have another candidate for the Most Blorpy, although more petite in it’s Blorpitude.

And yes, skippymom, I do believe you are grammatically correct :~)
Well, if you want to get all grammatical about it . . . . The answer to ‘Ed.’s’ question is that “blorpier” is correct, because you are comparing just TWO. You’d have to be comparing three or more to use the superlative.
Unless you’re skippymom…
Exactly correct, Judy B. Grammar nerds, unite!
The answer is none. None more blorpy.
I thought the answer was 49???
I think the correct answer is 42 if you are referencing the Hitchhiker’s Guide/Douglas Adams and the mice.
I voted for option 4 because I am obnoxious.
The most obnoxious, or the obnoxiousest?
I am the most obnoxiousest person you have ever known.
*raises hand, hesitantly*
“but, ma’am??”
“You haven’t met me brudders….”
So you’re an Obnox!
No , I’M the tag team champions ! (sorry, I watch way too much wrestling & boy does it make me obnoxious !)
I answered number 4 because i have an enquiring mind and I like wombats:)
I am a lawyer, ergo I am never obnoxious.

If you’re so blorpy you can’t want on your appendages and you’re so slow dophlins call you “buoy”…
“walk,” not “want.” We all want our appendages, except for those suffering body modifcation disorder.
My thoughts exactly. I mean, look at that almost shapeless round manatee blorp! Blorpidy-blorp blorpittude city. Blorpiestest buoy among blorpy sea-creatures. Blorpblorpbollrrppooll… anyway.
Barbara Manatee is def the blorpiestest, but I still love Happy Hippo’s cheesy grin.
These were xactly my own leanings; thus, Ah deed not vowt een thees powl.
Thee opshuns wich matched my brain wuz not thearrrre.
I had to vote manatee because, as cute as they are, if you know anything about hippos you know that one is looking at those kids with malice in it’s heart.
“I would totally eat those!”
*ahem*
I want a hippopotamus for Christmas! Only a hippopotamus will do. I don’t want a doll. No dinky tinker toys. I want a hippo to play with and enjoy….
Blorpy is cute!
At least that’s what I tell myself when I look in the mirror…
Self Affirmation will get you through the day.
“I”m good enough.
I’m blorpy enough.
And Gosh darnit, people like me!”
I know! If blorp and curved bellehs were as cute on humans as they are on animals . . . well, let’s just say the men would be lined up at my door, OK?
They’d be beating down my door.
I am in moderation for the second time today, and still no one has brought me a blasted Yoohoo.
May I humbly offer you a Chocovine, skippymom? It’s like Yoohoo but with some delightful tipsiness inducing qualities….
*hic*
Only if you drink the bhole wottle…
“iszhere a prollem, *hic*/ BELCH, occifer????”
YOOOOOOOOOOHOOOOOOOOOOOO!
May I humbly offer you a Chocovine, skippymom? It’s like Yoohoo but with some delightful tipsiness inducing qualities…
hic, hic, hooray! Thank you, maggie.
Now how many mmaannaatteeees do you see?
Will a “regular” YOO HOO DOOOOO?
[instead of a "blasted" one....giggle?]

HEY I just wrote you out an RX for a yoooooooooohooooooooo and the stoopid blasted uncooperative hunkawhyIoughtta………garbledywhyinmy day…..
stoopid….oh, sorry
stupid computer systems zapped my gift to you.
WhyIoughtta…. *raises tiny fists*
*stamps tiny feet in outrage*
I LOVE Yoohoo. Used to work at a radio station, there was a corner market, our production director would stick his head in my door and say, ‘want one? makin’ a Yoohoo run!’
Oh can we please create a world where this is true?!
A blorp is a blorp of course, of course…..
……and no one can talk to a blorp, of course ….
…..unless of course the blorp is the famous Mister Bloorrrrrrrp!
I’m so glad I’m not the only person on this site who’s old enough to reference Mr Ed.
But seriously . . . how does anything that blorpy stay under water???? Blorp floats, right? You’d think they’d be struggling mightily just to keep from popping back up to the surface constantly.
Judy, I just spent approximately 5000 years attempting to locate an answer to this question …..the closest that I could find, to answering it, is that they stay under just briefly….sessions under, then surfacing. What I couldn’t find is the “how the staying under” occurs mechanically/ body parts, etc. The statements all estimated the time under vs. surfacing time.
However I did encounter lots of way-cool manatee-ish things. To wit the following, only one page from an item with numerous and many sub-pages of manatee coloring sheets, a manatee cursor for your computer screen, etc etc etc and also etc.
Here’s one sample item from that set of pages:
http://www.savethemanatee.org/audio.htm
Manatee sounds = cool.
Manatee cursor = OMG HOW HAVE I LIVED SO LONG WITHOUT THIS?!?!
*curtseys in pleated skirt*
(it did look as though the various pages had some Darn Fun Stuff innit
)
Depends on what your definition of “blorpier” is.
OH OH THIS IS THE BILL CLINTON BIT, right??
“That all depends on your definition of “is”, is.”

(Probably) Not His Finest Shining Moment
Unlikely is the manatee:
He floats along, as you can see,
Just like a dirgible.
And though he really weighs a ton,
He floats along like he weighs none
‘Cause he’s submergible!
clapclapclap
Leilani, for some reason, I feel compelled to counter your manateease with something also marine and perhaps similar in riddim and in mood; which was, surprisingly enough, written NOT by Ogden Nash, but by somebody called Dixon Lanier Merritt, ca 1910. or so sez the webpage where I just read it.
A wonderful bird is the pelican. His bill will hold more than his belican. He can take in his beak Food enough for a week, But I’m damned if I see how the helican.
*wild applause all ’round*
Not Ogden Nash? Another myth shot
in the blorpiness.
Colbert Report interview: “Manatee! Blorpy critter, or Blorpiest critter?”
the manatee has the higher ratio of body volume to leg size – is that not a valid measure of blorpiness?
I’m cringing. I have short legs and an …… impressive ……. body volume
manatees have always been cute to me but never fathomed that a hippo could be so cute!
Can we get a manatee belly button-hance??
Wow somehow this jumped up really far in the timeline of posts!
Have chosen option 4. Why make us choose?!! That’s just impossib.
(8) It’s impossible, try to choose between the blorps it’s just impossible.
It’s impossible, tell a puggle not to slorp it’s just impossibuuuuuuul
Can you hold a manatee to ya, and not feel love flowing through ya.
Count the seconds, you don’t watch Cute Overload, it’s just impossible.
All the critters, that we see here on this site are just adorable.
If we saw them, all together in a room we’d crash the door just like a bullllllll.
And tomorrow, if you offered me a hippo I would grab it,
And ride off while laughly madly cause I hab it,
For to live without the Cute is just impossible,
Impossible.
La la la la laaaaaaaaaaaaa, impossible.
Standing ovash.
Howzat? Mmmph… Wombats, you say? I din’t see no wombats… I dunno if you could call wombats blorpy, I think wombats are more tanky than blorpy, personally ,
For $25 you can adopt a manatee! This is a great Christmas gift for kids… they get a calendar and a certificate of adoption. I used to live in Coral Gables and the manatees were so blorpitudinously adorbs! They’d even bring their babies around to look at the hoomans. http://savethemanatee.org/adoptpag.htm
Blorporific blorporama on that manatee!
Being serious for a moment, I am completely in awe of the hippo. Imagine being able to get that close to one that is actually regardez-vousing you back. I bet those children will remember it for the rest of their lives.
The hippo is an animal with a whole lot of blorp on it.
The manatee is a whole lot of blorp with an animal in it.
THIS IS UBER COOLOSITY, man
Fans of manatees MUST be aware of this fabulous song:
You left out the “I’m dying to poke them both in the belly” option!
I voted manatee because they live on a diet of lettuce, and they still never lose any weight. I can relate….. not really I eat lots o’ cheese!
