When he heard that speedy Mexican mice were getting all the action, Luigi Hamsteroni decided to take matters into his own paws.

Oh yeah. Need for speed! What could be better than a hamster riding a motorcycle.

And this immediately made me, too, think of The Mouse and the Motorcycle. All he needs is a ping-pong ball helmet padded with a cotton ball!

Tiny pink foot alert! (with a matching nose, no less)

I thought of The Mouse and the Motorcycle too! Great minds...

Heeyy, paisana mia!

Paisano = country fellow
Paisana = country wench
Paisan' = colloquial

a possible candidate for The Coveted Cuteness Trifecta™????

#19 - Dainty paws
#15 - Small ear to head ratio
#6 - Mimic humans

And more or less "a thing, with a smaller version of [a] thing..." I know I'm bending the rule a bit, but that little Vespa is *it.*

abeth, you are so right. And once again Meg, outstanding captions!

Beauregard

Hee! His hair even looks windblown.

And I see I'm not the only one who thought of the Mouse and the Motorcycle!

Zelda, to elaborate a little more on your post there.. Hitch a Ride from Boston:

"Gonna hitch a ride,
head for the other side,
Leave it all behind;
Never change my mind.
Gonna sail away,
Sunlight's another day,
Freedom on my mind,
Carry me away for the last time!?

E. Collison, E. Collison!!!

Sorry, I know this is totally off-topic. But I couldn't wait for another bunny post.

I have found... tum ta te tum...

The Rabbit of Approval!

http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/2662/1681/320/rabbitofapproval.jpg

No joke. This was on some organic pasta I bought. Maybe he can be used for *approval* of things that the Disapproving Rabbits have nothing to say about.

Hi. My name is Aubrey, and I've been noticing a lot of typos in my posts lately, and for that I apologize.

Now - on to this Bunny Approval thing. My shampoo also has a stamp of the bunnage, to show that the product was not tested on animals.

Aubrey
 |  May 12, 2006 at 04:21 PM

Re Aubrey: yes, I've seen those too. This one was funny because it is the polar opposite of E. Collison's frequently-referenced Disapproving Rabbits:

(apologies if you've seen them before)

I'm with Najjie here (waaaay up the comment list) -- is it a hamster? Chinchilla? Ur-Gerbil? Furby? Some kind of frankenbastard hybrid rodent??

Jan S -- I used to like Boston too.
Let us never speak of this again.

No, E.T., sorry A.T., I've never seen/read these before, and I nearly snapped a collarbone laughing.

'Tis a long haired syrian hamster (sometimes known as a teddy bear hamster).
I want to give him a peanut for being so cute!

AuntieMame...you go girl! Be proud of your classic rock roots! Theo...face it, you still catch yourself listening to them in the mini van, when you hit the scan button on your radio...and it stops on "Foreplay/Longtime"...come on, Theo, you can tell us, it's alright... ;)

Back to the cute picture, I have no clue what kind of creature this is, but he's got some stylin' hair do!

"Disapproving Rabbits"

Because I just lose it whenever I look at their dour little faces, I had to write to birdchick to tell her how much I love those pictures. Her response:

"Hello,


We always though she was part Winston Churchill.


Thank you for checking the site, and it means a lot that you get some pleasure from it. My husband thought I was nuts to put up a disapproving rabbits page, but I knew there were other rabbit people out there that would know our pain.

Thanks for posting this, Jaypo. I immediately emailed the site to my co-workers, but haven't received a response yet. I think they disapproved.

Aubrey
 |  May 12, 2006 at 07:34 PM

P.S. "She" meaning Cinnamon, the most disapproving of all. (I asked Sharon if Cinnamon was a secret member of the House of Lords.)

jaypo
 |  May 12, 2006 at 07:34 PM

LOL. Cinnamon certainly does carry a most hefty disapprove on her.

A thinker
 |  May 12, 2006 at 07:36 PM

Full context is I emailed other bunny friends--and Sharon--with this question. Do you think Cinnamon is:
a) part mule
b) related to Bullwinkle
c) a secret member of the H. of L.
d) all of the above.

The consensus was d).
