Many thanks to all of you who have mothered somebody – whoever you are, wherever you are.


Happy Mother’s Day Nicolas H. and Gamma Squad.

There Are Three Certainties in Life

Ducks, ‘tockses, and more ‘tockses.


They’re making quite a rumpus, JoAnn S.

Aaaaah Cheep Out!

Le Cheep, C’est Chick.


Have you heard about the new chick craze?
Listen to us, I’m sure you’ll be amazed.
Big fun to be had by everyone.


It’s up to you, you all should get you one.
Young and old are gettin’ ‘em, I am told.
Just one try, and you too will be sold.


It’s called Le Cheep! They’re doing it night and day.
Allow us, and we’ll show you the way.
Aaaaaaaaah Cheep Out! Le Cheep, C’est Chick!
Aaaaaaaaah Now Sleep!


Vicky C. and the 10 Derbyshire redcap chicks partied all weekend and blew off all their chores.

We’re Going Green Today

Do you know what on Earth for?

No, but we can HUM a few bars.

Whoa, Dude, It’s Just Lunch

Buddy’s problem at speed dating events was that he was always a bit too speedy.

I’m Such a Birdbrain at this Game

Check and mate, striatic.

Puppy Easter, Everybody!

Did everybody get a sugar rush from eating too much Easter candy? Too bad, here comes another one:

Mutual of Overload’s Wild Kingdom

In the brutal world of Nature’s savage pay-per-view cage match, even the cutest creatures must fight for dominance. Here, we see a ferocious “bull” duckling defending his mate from an unwelcome interloper. Again and again, the two males will butt heads until one retreats to look for aspirin.


The stark brutality of the unforgiving wilderness, brilliantly captured by Flickr user William Warby.

April Fool!

The Huffington Post has steered us to many of the cute videos you’ve squeed to on C.O., and we’ve wanted to thank them in the worst way — and we think you’ll agree, that spoof page was it. Seriously, we can’t get e-nuff of April Fool’s Day, and hope you enjoyed this year’s prank. Thanks to Meg, Pyrit and Crazy Pants for adding jokes and pics, and Arianna Huffington for not suing. Until next year…

DON’T…


STOP…


LAUGHING!
