Stop and smell the orangutans

Yes, I know they're smelly monkeys—but that's how the saying goes.

Beautiful!: alma; | Jul 13, 2006 at 05:26 PM

Am I the only one who is a little creeped out by eye capsules?: Therese; | Jul 13, 2006 at 05:27 PM

Oh my GOSH! Orangutans aren't usually high on my list of cutenesses, but they've both got such a sweet expression. Perfect.: Rayndrop; | Jul 13, 2006 at 05:28 PM

Eye capsules are awesome...but it might be the name creeping you out. Eye pods is better for me. Someone else mentioned Eye Pods in a prev. post and I loved it!: Lauri; | Jul 13, 2006 at 05:38 PM

imho, the expression eye capsule is a crackup (ok, so is eyepod [tm])!: Dara; | Jul 13, 2006 at 05:42 PM

Creepy or Cute will be up to personal tastes but this photo, combined with that caption = brilliance.: LilyPad; | Jul 13, 2006 at 05:43 PM

It *is* a totally prosh photo, even if I think any kind of monkey is creepy. I can't decide if they look like a pair of senile old gents, or completely naive babies. XD: gwenchocolate; | Jul 13, 2006 at 05:46 PM

That sense of wonder is what stopping and smelling the roses is all about. Innocence is not what you *don't* know. It's how you approach the knowledge. I can't ever believe that animals are not people of a special sort. I'm glad I can still feel like that when faced with a red rose.: ElfOwl; | Jul 13, 2006 at 05:53 PM

For those squirmies who find the primates uncute OR for certain those of us who love da marmaladekitters... http://photo.media.daum.net/gallery/animalworld/200602/13/epakorea/v11683555.html: jaypo; | Jul 13, 2006 at 05:56 PM

No more monkeys jumping on the bed. I agree with gwenchoco: monkey = heebie jeebies.: Bot; | Jul 13, 2006 at 05:57 PM

Now that is definitely the cutest thing I have ever seen!!!!!: Sarah-Jean; | Jul 13, 2006 at 06:02 PM

Monkey's are creepy, gwenchocolate? That's interesting coming from the mouth of a monkey!: Niki; | Jul 13, 2006 at 06:02 PM

Romantic in a creepy way.: o; | Jul 13, 2006 at 06:03 PM

I know, I know, we all came from monkeys...they just make me uneasy, and I can't explain it. Maybe it's from watching the "Planet of the Apes" movies too many times. I did say, however, that this was a cute picture.: gwenchocolate; | Jul 13, 2006 at 06:23 PM

Ah, monkey love. (The two Thai-ger Tabs are tewtelly 'tweeties, too.): Theo; | Jul 13, 2006 at 06:33 PM

Orangs are noble creatures, and they look so wise--it's no wonder they're called "the people of the forest." I think this photo is very sweet!: Brak_Silverbone; | Jul 13, 2006 at 06:35 PM

They're not smelly monkeys! (They're damned dirty apes.): Cris; | Jul 13, 2006 at 06:50 PM

Maybe creepy because they resemble us in so many ways yet we barely understand them? I wasn't trying to demean your opinion, though, gwenchocolate ;) Check out those huge wrinkled hands!: Niki; | Jul 13, 2006 at 06:55 PM

:\ The cuteness of this site is starting to get.. Not cute..: Siaarn; | Jul 13, 2006 at 07:13 PM

Haw, Cris! I think Charleton Hesston could use a little Cute Overload. And for moi, this was a total AAAAAAHHHHN pic. So happy.: Redzilla; | Jul 13, 2006 at 07:21 PM

I'VE HAD MY CUTEOVERLOAD!: Tanya; | Jul 13, 2006 at 07:22 PM

Awwww. Precious. Makes me want to call in sick to work to walk around a garden.: Piggalette; | Jul 13, 2006 at 08:00 PM

ighpods and arm around the shoulder!!! <3 Yes, they're not monkeys, they're apes. Am I the only Cutologist who reads Terry Pratchett???: greenighs; | Jul 13, 2006 at 08:36 PM

"Well ... I suppose it's natural, because sometimes barrel-organ men came to our village and they often had a dear little mon--" There was a crashing chord. The orangutan raised its other hand and waved a finger politely in front of Agnes' face. "He doesn't like being called a monkey," said Andre. "And he likes you." "How can you tell?" "He doesn't usually go in for warnings." ~Terry Pratchett: Maskerade: Megan; | Jul 13, 2006 at 08:56 PM

cute definitely didn't come to mind. but it warmed my heart to see the smile, the gesture of the arm, their closeness. absolutely wonderful.: perfect; | Jul 13, 2006 at 08:58 PM

Greenighs - Am I the only Cutologist who reads Terry Pratchett??? my only comment - OOK OOK!!: Chilli; | Jul 13, 2006 at 09:24 PM

not cute. horrible. more red pandas, please.: chibi; | Jul 13, 2006 at 09:25 PM

heehee. cute! I love my fellow apes. Even apes with eye capsules!: Michelle; | Jul 13, 2006 at 09:39 PM

*joins the Discworld fan brigade* Pterry's OFFICIAL stalker, reporting for duty! (Seriously. He gave me permission. Said I giggle so much he'll hear me lurking in his bushes, so I'm clearly not a threat.) That is SUCH a lovely picture.: VaCKo; | Jul 13, 2006 at 09:41 PM

Is anyone else experiencing excruciatingly long load times on CO? Up to two minutes a page? I have a lightning fast connection, but lately CO seems to hang forever. Is it just me?: Michelle; | Jul 13, 2006 at 09:56 PM

I love Pratchett. Especially Death, who loves kittehs. "WHAT IS THIS? CAN IT BE THAT IT IS CAT FLAVOURED???": hrh.squeak; | Jul 13, 2006 at 09:57 PM

If you don't like monkeys, then you should be fine with orangs, 'cause they ain't monkeys at all. They're apes, like us. (One way to tell -- apes don't have tails and monkeys do.) Anyway, I loves 'em; they're so cute! I'll take more primate babies anytime!: zoozoo; | Jul 13, 2006 at 10:09 PM

Cute and wise, with eyes that know all.: the honourable Gladys Anstruther; | Jul 14, 2006 at 02:04 AM

I think they are incredibly adorable and sweet in the obvious caring and love they have for one another. It shows how not so different we really are.: alisa; | Jul 14, 2006 at 02:47 AM

Yay for hippy orangs!: corky; | Jul 14, 2006 at 03:25 AM

Orangutans are my most favourite ape, it's so sad how we're driving them to extinction. *High Fives* to the other TP/Discworld fans out there! The Librarian Rocks!: Judy B; | Jul 14, 2006 at 03:30 AM

Yay, Pratchett fans! Ook Ook! And yes, Death is a cat perso- er, entity. :D: greenighs; | Jul 14, 2006 at 04:58 AM

I completely disagree, Siaarn. Look at this picture... don't you see the cuteness here? The loving 'over the shoulder' hug, the enjoyment in appreciating the sweet smell of flowers? The beauty of that moment that would even be cute if those weren't apes, but humans...: alma; | Jul 14, 2006 at 05:14 AM

Perhaps we can crush it up, apply the fragrant essence to our stinky pulse points, and thus smell pretty like respectable human beings? Maybe then we can get an appointment with the plastic surgeon to take care of these awful eye capsules.: penny; | Jul 14, 2006 at 05:25 AM

how can you think this is not cute? look at their intent sniffing of that flower! aaaaaah...: ariel; | Jul 14, 2006 at 06:14 AM

'Right turn, Clyde.': corky; | Jul 14, 2006 at 06:43 AM

LMAO. For some reason, when I saw this entry? I couldn't stop thinking of my grandpa! And he is NOT simian, btw... but (LOL)...just so reminded me of him! CUTIE WITTLE monkey dewds!: jenni joon; | Jul 14, 2006 at 06:44 AM

Oh my, that is an awesome pic! How can people look at that and think we're not related to them?! Of course, saying that probably insults the orangs... :o): ceejoe; | Jul 14, 2006 at 06:46 AM

In my opinion, monkeys are just incapable of being cute. No matter what. They're just gross!: Kris; | Jul 14, 2006 at 06:48 AM

Gross or no, cute or no, there is one thing that is remarkable: They still stop to smell the roses. Do we? So, who are we to judge...? Pj: PiperJon; | Jul 14, 2006 at 07:00 AM

Right on, Pj!: penny; | Jul 14, 2006 at 07:14 AM

stands up as another Terry Pratchett fan but i must admit i love the witches the best. Especially Nanny Ogg. And you know what she said about hedgehogs. heh: ka9q's wife; | Jul 14, 2006 at 07:18 AM

awww thats sweet. young love: fate; | Jul 14, 2006 at 07:19 AM

I adore organs, I think they are just the sweetest creatures. And the looks on the faces in the photos? Too prosh for words.: Lillith; | Jul 14, 2006 at 07:30 AM

Apparently the iced coffee didn't kick in, organs are nice (both the kind in our bodies and the musical instruments) but I MEANT to type orangs. *goes off to get an espresso*: Lillith; | Jul 14, 2006 at 07:36 AM
