The votes are neck and neck in the Nose-vember v. Nom-vember Poll. We haven’t seen chaos like this since the raging debate on “Muzzlepuff” versus “Muzzle-powsche”  in late ‘07. The Muzzlepowsches won. Please cast your vote, because every stoat counts.

Do not be swayed by the aggressive, nosey members of the Nosevember lobby:

Photograph by Sean Crane of a young bearded piglet in Tanjung Puting National Park in Borneo, Indonesia. They have some serious snorting going on over there. I can almost feel the wind rushing in that direction. Fabulousness brought to you by National Geographic, natch!

It’s rumored that Bono has already written the lyrics; and if he stops conducting foreign policy initiatives for the White House, you know the situation must be dire. Poor little Topper. One minute he’s playing with abandon, the next he’s falling down a well into a cardboard box.

Listen furless beings, can’t you see I’m trying to take a nap here?

'It puts the lotion in the basket?' You can put whatever the hell you want in your basket, I'm going to sleep.

Sing as many songs about me as you like – I don’t care. Just don’t tell that Angelina Jolie about this. She’ll see I’m sleeping on kitchen towels, assume I need rescuing, and before I know it, my name will be changed to Toppox.

All right, Mr. DeMille, I'm ready for my close-up.

What do you use to wash dishes, Kat C.?

You gotta love this lil’ Galapagos seal pup, he’s all concentrating on mutating into a cuter version of himself over time and stuff, waiting for Darwin to write a book about him.

Since when do I have to choose?  I mean, speaking as a raccoon, we’re sort of accustomed to doing both at once.  Like knocking over your garbage cans to take all the yummy scraps; that sort of thing.

(Which reminds me: We’ll be smashing those pumpkins later, so just leave the beer and sandwiches on the step, thanks.)

See, that's called 'synergy.'  Do I have to explain *everything* to you people?
