You had us at "hello," Google. You had us at "hello…"
It turns out that we’re among Google Engineer’s favorite blogs. Googlite Mike Knapp even made a button for us so you can quickly add Cute Overload to your Google Reader list.
Of course, by reading Cute Overload via a RSS reader you’re quite literally taking food (ad revenue) out of our mouths, but we’re reeeaaallly lazy too, so we can’t blame you.
We heart you too, Google. In fact, we use Google Apps to run the place. Well, only Mail, but that’s another conversation…

We interrupt the A & E Cold Case marathon to bring you this redonklous story of two costumed pets battling for the win over at the MSO/C.O. costume contest.
We now return you to regularly scheduled programming. In the meantime, the watchdogs will continue to keep score.
Hmm, looks like we’ve got:
"I’d Relish some Ketchup",
"Exscuuuse My Beauty",
"Most Dangerous Catch",
"Shaken and Stirred with a Quill",
"Who Called for the Escort?" and
"Yippee Kai yei, M&%$***#ers!"
Yep, everything seems to be going well so far.
