Cute Overload! :)

OMG! I haven't even had my coffee yet! This is too too moische. It's like a stuffed animal fairyland in heaven or somfing. It. just. cant. be. real.: DKN; | May 16, 2008 at 05:13 AM

OK now there's a story I'd like to see more of - seriously! What kind of monkeeeee is that? Is it an ape? That's quite a picture!: Ermine_Violin; | May 16, 2008 at 05:14 AM

O_O I DO want to know how that photo got taken!: starling; | May 16, 2008 at 05:24 AM

It looks like the wallaby is its purse. Too cute. We definitely need the story to this one!: Eastie; | May 16, 2008 at 05:24 AM

I've never hallucinated, but that's pretty much what I'd expect to see if I did! :-): gloom raider; | May 16, 2008 at 05:24 AM

REALLY?!: Mandy; | May 16, 2008 at 05:31 AM

Okay, what?: Babs; | May 16, 2008 at 05:41 AM

Ermine_V.: looks like some sort of gibbon (small ape). I don't think they normally use wallabies as currency, though.: Jim; | May 16, 2008 at 05:45 AM

This picture is the start of a joke. "An ape with a wallabi under its arm is waiting for the bus, when the bus pulls up and the driver says ...": starling; | May 16, 2008 at 05:47 AM

The cap-shon ees geeeenious. On what planet is this, BTW?: Poohbear; | May 16, 2008 at 05:50 AM

Is this even real? I'll second the above comment: "I've never hallucinated, but that's pretty much what I'd expect to see if I did!": Andréa; | May 16, 2008 at 05:51 AM

GD? Well let's just hope you meant gosh darn. You kiss your mother with that mouth?: your mother; | May 16, 2008 at 05:56 AM

O M G lol!!: jen; | May 16, 2008 at 05:56 AM

Wallaby, mines a pint thanks.: Hon Glad; | May 16, 2008 at 05:59 AM

Seriously - how did this happen? I can't stop looking at it!! I not awake enough to come up with a Gibbon when I first posted. Now, I'm still not sure I'm awake enough to grasp this!: Ermine_Violin; | May 16, 2008 at 06:03 AM

What an interesting pair!: Freckles and Deb; | May 16, 2008 at 06:06 AM

That's so not fair!!! I rode this bus this a.m. and all I had was a stupid paper ticket to pay with... Where do I have to go to be able to pay with a squirmy Wallabi????: StormCat; | May 16, 2008 at 06:09 AM

Gibbon went out the night before on a blind date, and woke up with a wallaby in his arms, and now they're both late for work. Go figure!: ThreeCatNight; | May 16, 2008 at 06:12 AM

Funky gibbon!!: Theresa; | May 16, 2008 at 06:17 AM

LOL @ 3Cat!!!! HAAAAA!! I just can't stop laughing @ this pic...forget the capshons...this Gibbon's look is HILARIOUS! He reminds me of a stoic uncle.: ButtaRumCake; | May 16, 2008 at 06:21 AM

Wow! Just wow!: Mimi; | May 16, 2008 at 06:32 AM

This is one of the best caption/pic combos ever. I know people who ARE that ape, being old and crotchety and saying things like "GD".: Jen; | May 16, 2008 at 06:32 AM

You didn't tell me you were bringing your wallaby?! I didn't bring my wallaby! You always do that - you say you won't bring your wallaby and then you bring your wallaby. Now, I'm wallaby-less and you... with a wallaby. Forget it, I'm going home.: Angela; | May 16, 2008 at 06:32 AM

Did anyone else think the monkeh looks exactly like those old stuffed monkeys with the velcro on their hands & feet? Or a muppet...seriously, the wallaby looks real enough...but I've never seen a Gibbon with arms & legs that long.... WTF?! In a good way!!: MandaBain; | May 16, 2008 at 06:33 AM

Gibbon: "Have you met my baby wallaby? Do you want to pet him? Are you overloading with teh cute yet? Oh, bus is here.": chanpon; | May 16, 2008 at 06:33 AM

That's right ThreeCatNight, if this waiting for the bus ain't part of a walk of shame, I don't what is.: DKN; | May 16, 2008 at 06:35 AM

I-- I-- What????: hey-h; | May 16, 2008 at 06:35 AM

Where's the story behind this interspecies cavorting! I must know the story!: karebear; | May 16, 2008 at 06:41 AM

Well, the wallaby's packed, I'm ready to go...I'm sitting here outside yur door .... I hate to wake u up to say gibbye .....: Birdcage; | May 16, 2008 at 06:46 AM

LOL. "So kiss me and snorgle me, "Tell me that my post's bleen-free...": Theo; | May 16, 2008 at 06:47 AM

Great site, the pictures definitely put a smile on my face.: Michael Meadows; | May 16, 2008 at 06:51 AM

--cue chilling music, camera zooms in on Metz at the computer loffin the cute, reading the comments, laffin away at the hilarity and clever minds... then BAM outta nowherez another killah earworm attacks-- Metz never stood a chance.--and fade to black: Metz; | May 16, 2008 at 06:54 AM

"So kiss me and snorgle me, "Tell me that my post's bleen-free..." These comments are as hilarious as the picture!! I am glad I finished my coffee or I would be needing a new laptop!! Does anyone know what the type of wood is that the bench is made of?? It is gorgeous and I would love to have some.: Winni-Pig; | May 16, 2008 at 06:58 AM

Too funny! You peeps crack me up.: snorglepup; | May 16, 2008 at 07:12 AM

[high-fives Birdcage]: Theo; | May 16, 2008 at 07:13 AM

The GD postage just went up too. At least I don't pay in rodents!: snorglepup; | May 16, 2008 at 07:16 AM

I think Mr. Gibbon is taking the pet wallaby either to the vet or the wallaby park to play. Since the wallaby is so well behaved, it is not required to be in a pet carrier to ride the bus. Or MAYBE it's a Service Wallaby.: trin; | May 16, 2008 at 07:16 AM

Hey now! Don't make me get out the Afterbleen Delight! [I'm glad to see you're finally getting in touch with your Inner Evil... - Ed.]: Metz; | May 16, 2008 at 07:17 AM

Have mercy! I've been waiting for the bus all day! (That could almost BE Billy Gibbon on that park bench.): AuntieMame; | May 16, 2008 at 07:20 AM

Gibbon thoughts, wallaby thoughts, gibbon thoughts, wallaby thoughts, wouldn't you just love to know what they both are thinking? Yes, that surely is beautiful wood. Where in the world did Carmen SanDiego take this picture?: Katrina; | May 16, 2008 at 07:22 AM

Picture = Cute Caption = not so much...: Ryan; | May 16, 2008 at 07:25 AM

@Winni-Pig: This bench was crafted from the bark of a Truffula tree; for more info, contact the Once-ler via his whisper-ma-phone.: Katerz; | May 16, 2008 at 07:28 AM

*blink blink... blink* Huh?: cheesybird; | May 16, 2008 at 07:32 AM

Trin- I want a service walaby! Angela- We could share it if I got one. I think along with mister monkeyface there'd be a lot of snorgle to go around!: Jimbeaux; | May 16, 2008 at 07:33 AM

Billy Gibbon!(snort!) Not enough beard, though.: Theresa; | May 16, 2008 at 07:39 AM

Yep. Some of the best comments evah! It surely stands for Gosh Darn unless this is, as someone said, an OLD gibbon. My grandmother was such a lady. Spoke with a broad A (not a reference to her posterior), but when she was 97 and the shelter puppies came to the "home", when her turn holding the puppy was over and they handed it to the next old lady, my grandmother looked at her and said, You give me back my GD (not "gosh darn") puppy!" Gosh Darn! [I was thinking maybe "Great Dane" or... well, let's just say I'm a creative smartass - Ed.]: Anne Boleyn; | May 16, 2008 at 07:39 AM

"I can't believe they raised bus fare to one squirmy wallaby." AAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!! Lord Meg, you crack me up..... ;D: Catsquatch; | May 16, 2008 at 07:42 AM

LOL! no fair! i pay $60 for my monthly bus pass and i don't get a wallaby (or any other fuzzy creature) with it: penguingirl; | May 16, 2008 at 07:57 AM

Trippy!!! it even looks like the legs are crossed, and he really is sitting there Harrumphing LOL!!! gd this and that, who cares. and I have a q about Bleen, all I get in the glossary is "..." and I get that Theo hates it... and other's throw it out every other post here. WHAT IS BLEEN? Is it like a squeal? Sounds more like a bodypart lol. [No no, you're probably thinking of "spleen", heh... - Ed.] Ok, so this post is seriously CUTE, made me smile.: claudia; | May 16, 2008 at 08:09 AM

"...The monkey chewed tobacco on the street-car line, The line broke The monkey got choked And they all went to heaven in a little row boat..." (excerpt from childhood jump-rope ditty): pyrit; | May 16, 2008 at 08:10 AM

Surely, he's waiting for The Magic Bus. [TOO MUCH, THE MAGIC BUS! - Pete, Roger & John]: Kris; | May 16, 2008 at 08:14 AM

Oh my, this is classic CO. The silly animal combo, the furry cuteness, and the goofy commentary are all there.: catablob; | May 16, 2008 at 08:14 AM

The Monkeh on the bus says, "Move to the back! Move to the back! Move to the back!": Kris; | May 16, 2008 at 08:18 AM

is that Johnny the Gibbon?: Benito; | May 16, 2008 at 08:27 AM

What?!?!!?1?: Ponygirl; | May 16, 2008 at 08:32 AM

If anyone is interested it's a Lar Gibbon, you can tell from its white hands.: Jack Hynes; | May 16, 2008 at 08:35 AM

I think what gets me it that the Gibbon is like why are you staring at me, this is totally normal!: Tiffany; | May 16, 2008 at 08:36 AM

I hear no one yelling "'Shopped" and yet, how can this be real? Did the gibbon just say, "Hey, I think I'll wait here for a minute with my pet Wallaby..."? I've done all sorts of searches and nothing. I'm going back to my Magic Bus theory...since that song is still running through my head. Way to give myself an earworm... [You caaaaaaaaan't have it! - Ed.]: Kris; | May 16, 2008 at 08:45 AM

Amazink foto...but my question is: What kind of wood was used to make that bench?: Ann C.; | May 16, 2008 at 09:10 AM

Why are there people taking offense at GD?? Uptight much? If that offends you, you're in the wrong place. [Well, agreed, but remember CO is visible to the *whole* internet. I think we even get through the "Great Firewall" - Ed.]: Helene; | May 16, 2008 at 09:28 AM

If you have to pick an animal as a purse, a wallaby or kangaroo is the way to go--secret pockets!!!!: debg; | May 16, 2008 at 09:34 AM

Gibbon de soikumstances, dis is amazing! Meg you are the fuuuuurrrrrnnniest of all!: Jenny; | May 16, 2008 at 09:45 AM

--the hell?: hibousoir; | May 16, 2008 at 09:47 AM

A primate waiting at a bus stop, holding a marsupial?? Wall-a-by darned!
**sorry**: Sprock; | May 16, 2008 at 09:55 AM

Oooh, debg, ...it's a walletby.: pyrit; | May 16, 2008 at 10:02 AM

If you're curious about the wood, and have more time to look for wood http://www.hobbithouseinc.com/personal/woodpics/ there you go.: Ermine_Violin; | May 16, 2008 at 10:04 AM

1. I don't see anyone "taking offense" at GD. I just see a couple bemused comments. 2. Why is taking the high road always considered "uptight"? 3. Where are the nuffs complaining about the gibbon having an unusual pet? Is it okay to domesticate wild animals if you're gibbon? 4. I'm kidding. 5. So don't get yer undies in a bunch.: AuntieMame; | May 16, 2008 at 10:04 AM

Ah heck, I emailed the man myself to ask for a wood ID - I'd like to know myself, but am too busy today to search 1000's of wood pictures on his site. I'll post more later if he answers me.: Ermine_Violin; | May 16, 2008 at 10:10 AM

I strongly object to Gibbons taking on pets of any kind, especially a poor Wallaby, who must have a helluva time swinging from tree to tree...: Kris; | May 16, 2008 at 10:10 AM

Bartender: Wall I'll be! Gibbon: No, actually its a Kangaroo.: catablob; | May 16, 2008 at 10:25 AM

It must be a hearing-ear Wallaby- notice the large ears on afore-mentioned Wallaby and the seeming lack of ears on the not-yet mentioned Gibbon. Thanks for the wood 'fix' Ermine Violin, I got up to the "D's" before I had to stop-I'll keep looking. Trufulla trees, indeed, Niiiiice! They don't look real, do they?: Katrina; | May 16, 2008 at 10:28 AM

PYRIT!!! OMG!! That was the BEST! My friends and I used to double-dutch to that *flashes back to childhood jump rope, jacks & candy necklaces* *whispers* Thanks Pyrit, You've made my week *smiles*: ButtaRumCake; | May 16, 2008 at 10:30 AM

Theo, what's cuter? A Bleen or a Spleen? heh.: claudia; | May 16, 2008 at 10:42 AM

Listen, Frost. You're too much. I don't know how to explain my ruined keyboard to the IT guy. IT: What did you do? Me: I uh, saw a picture of an orangatang holding a wallaby. IT: What? Me: I thought it was so funny I did a spit take...and it shorted out my keyboard... IT: I hate you.: angela; | May 16, 2008 at 10:42 AM

OOOOooweee! i haven't laughed that much at comments in a while. lol @ katerz. do you think the Gibbon goes home and eats the truffula fruits and sits around making Thneeds? The thing that everyone needs?: mishy; | May 16, 2008 at 10:44 AM

You know, it's the funniest thing. This heat wave has fried my brain. I went to Cute Overload and there was this picture of a kitten, but I was so overcome by heat that for some reason I saw this crazy picture of a gibbon and a wallaby. It was too weird. I'll go lay down now.: Decca; | May 16, 2008 at 10:44 AM

Auntie Mame rocks! Great song ref, and Billy Gibbon... wish I'da thoughtathat! (Bows down) Srsly, what IS the back story on this?? I think we NEED to know!: joools; | May 16, 2008 at 10:45 AM

.....wow: ashley; | May 16, 2008 at 10:45 AM

I'm pretty sure that the Gibbon is wearing a thnead right now. Oh, look at that, a red line under the word thnead.....pffft-Microsoft doesn't have it in the dictionary? For shame. For shame for a lot of thing, but this is just inexcusable! I Love my MAC!: Katrina; | May 16, 2008 at 10:52 AM

Pretty good comment thread, y'all. You do Friday proud. ;): Theo; | May 16, 2008 at 10:58 AM

Oh, and Katrina, that's because it's spelled "Thneed". (I am Thee Loreex. I speek for thee "EE"s.) ;P: Theo; | May 16, 2008 at 10:59 AM

How is it possible that *no one* has come up with the real explanation for this? I must know! (I mean, I love all the suggestions, don't get me wrong. But...how did this happen????): hey-h; | May 16, 2008 at 11:05 AM

...and, I was just joking about Whisper-ma-phones with my kidlets this morning on the way to school! Weird!!: momof2kitties; | May 16, 2008 at 11:05 AM

Ok my brain has officially shut down. It isn't even 5 o'clock yet and I am useless, useless I tell you for the rest of the day. Why? Because I just (yes I am that slow) JUST read the final bit under the pic. Now I cannot get the image of this pair riding a unicycle to work. Grate, now I haz an image trying to squeeze in, just where x'actly does dis guy work? Oh my braineeeeeee!!: Metz; | May 16, 2008 at 11:16 AM

Eek! The most inspiring post in weeks and I'm at work and don't have time to process all of the genius comments and come up with one of my own! Although I will say that to me, "GD" means "Grateful Dead" and pyrit singing "The Monkey and the Engineer" (which the Dead played 37 times in concert) made my day! But the story here needs to be explored further. I'm gonna have to sleep on this one.: berthaservant; | May 16, 2008 at 11:33 AM

And the gibbon has his/her legs crossed!: Paula; | May 16, 2008 at 01:45 PM

Guys, did you know there is a "Hamster Huey" Controversy? Yes, after the Calvin and Hobbes references to a fictional story that Calvin's Dad read to him ("I wonder if they will ever find Hamster Huey's head?"), someone wrote a book with that title, and tried to sell it on Amazon? See: http://candh.wikia.com/wiki/Hamster_Huey_and_the_Gooey_Kablooie: Theresa; | May 16, 2008 at 01:45 PM

He shouldn't cross his legs that way, it gives you varicose veins.: Barbara; | May 16, 2008 at 02:11 PM

I've officially seen it all now. Gee, I hope that doesn't mean I'm going to die . . .: HonorH; | May 16, 2008 at 02:32 PM

I think I've figured out the bench. It's not wood, at all. It's made out of a giant carrot. [Hand-lacquered carrotwood, to be precise... if not exactly *accurate* - Ed.]: AuntieMame; | May 16, 2008 at 03:02 PM

Uh..... hey, Gail... are you sure it was a chocolate that came out from under the wallaby? Just wonderin.: spb; | May 16, 2008 at 06:47 PM

Good GRIEF people....lacquered carrot benches, wallaby chocolate poos, gibbon varicose veins??? Yes, that most definitely WAS a "special" brownie I had at lunch. Anybody else hear the theme music to the Twilight Zone?: binky-mama; | May 16, 2008 at 07:59 PM

Nope, just "Don't Worry Be Happy" by Bobby McFerrin. Can't say I'm pleased about it, either.: Theo; | May 16, 2008 at 08:04 PM

...you know, I could rip on Bobby McFerrin from day till night because of that song I just mentioned, and the whole "Simple Pleasures" album from whence it sprung... but then I happen to watch something like this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PgvJg7D6Qck Seriously, it starts out as a total joke. Yeah [SNORT] right, sure, the audience is going to sing the Gounod melody while you're tootling away with the Bach part, ha ha. Just make with the sound effects, ya washed-up beat-box '80s-era half-wit... except, um, then he actually starts doing the Bach pipe-organ tootles, and by golly the audience *does* the Gounod "Ave Maria" part. It's like he's leading an orchestra. How the HELL he ever got THAT to work... well, maybe the concert was recorded at freakin' Juilliard, because that sure as heck was never some HBO comedy crowd. Oy vey indeed. Um, yeah. Tangent. But what the heck, we've got gibbons with wallabys!: Theo; | May 16, 2008 at 08:18 PM

What great fun reading thru all the comments! :) This little guy and his friend are so cute I want to stick 'em in my pocket and take 'em home. Wouldn't mind having the groovy bench either!: Kalli; | May 16, 2008 at 09:12 PM

Wow... It's like The Wonderful World of Richard Scarry. I can't wait to see the other animals on the bus. Srsly, what'll happen next? Is Lowly the Worm the bus driver? ZOMG ppls, the Truffula tree, carrotwood (Is it from Brobdingnag or the land of the Giants in Jack and the magic beans?

I was assuming that the wonderful wooden bench was painted - beautifully, artfully painted. Seriously, does any tree from this planet come those colors on the inside? You remember paint - it's what they used before photoshop. And Theo, thanks for the Bobby McFerrin Bach. It's gorgeous!

Thanks, Theo - that video really WAS awesome! (not as awesome as a GD gibbon with a GD wallaby, but that IS a tough act to follow...): TurboFloof; | May 17, 2008 at 07:28 AM

Raemie L-- Where's Goldbug? In the Pickle Car?: Theresa; | May 17, 2008 at 07:34 AM

Thanks, Theo-- I was singing along!! That WAS awesome. I'm a classical soprano, and McFerrin has the best intonation of any singer in any style. BTW, it took my a while to warm up to DWBH but I kind of like it, now.: Theresa; | May 17, 2008 at 07:41 AM

ZZ Top's "waitin' for the bus all day" is the song i've been singin' in my head all day after seeing this post :) also love the shout out to the monkey song, which is also quoted in another popular earworm: ...the line broke, the monkey got choked, odabottenbeedabotten (sp?) red, red wiiiiii-iiine stay close to meeee-yaeee-eeee: ashagato; | May 17, 2008 at 09:20 AM

uhh.. *backing away slowly, rubbing eyes* I'll go back to bed.: tuckeverlasing; | May 17, 2008 at 01:00 PM

*the humans have gone nuts....I'll get you out of here...: Daphne Moss; | May 17, 2008 at 06:12 PM

Make sure you got the right way to pay...this bus driver don't take no wallaby-wannabes... Thanks a lot,TURBOFLOOF, for beating me to the "tough act" comment...you talk better, anyway. I've been howling out loud with all these comments--no CO at the library or I'll be asked to leave--or maybe they'll just throw me out!: Totalee Puppy; | May 17, 2008 at 08:18 PM

@Theresa: Wow, classical soprano! It is really interesting to me how many of us 'comment'ers' are creative/artistic! Birds of a feather....: Gail; | May 18, 2008 at 05:59 AM

Here the bus fare used to be 1 baby langur monkey, but now they've made it TWO BABY ELEPHANTS. How am I supposed to be lugging around two frisky half-tonne baby elephants? On a BUS?! Don't be complaining to me about no squirmy wallabies! I hate inflation and these differences in currency values!: Subhangi; | May 19, 2008 at 01:25 AM

Theo - thank you for the Bobby McFerrin link. I sent it to my choir director who I found out had actually gone to BMcF's concert at the Meyerhoff a few years ago. He said he was amazed at how many people knew the Gounod and how gorgeous it was.: Kris; | May 19, 2008 at 05:08 AM

I guess it makes sense; I mean, the folks who would go to see him in concert are by and large the same sort of folks who, you know, SING. Also, it always amazes me how dropping the slightest reference in a place like this can bring folks out of the woodwork. I bet if I say "Ten Tenors", at least ten Cute Overload peeps will *immediately* swoon. Like classically-trained dominoes, you are. ;): Theo; | May 19, 2008 at 07:02 AM

Wellllll, some of them ARE quite attractive: http://www.thetentenors.com/: Kris; | May 19, 2008 at 07:12 AM
