That's just freakin' beautiful.
Love is... crawling around on your elbows and knees, bleating while snorgling a sea lion.
Who knew?

Too sweet!!!

(There's probably an actor in the bunch and this is going on the resume as "Improv"!!)

Congratulations, Peruvian sea lion rescuers!!

Gail (the first one)

OK, I think I'm adding Sea Lion rehabilitator to my list of things I want to do.
I can 'mehrowalaghuh' with the best of them.

Kris
 |  Jul 15, 2008 at 04:25 AM

okay, that was just too fricking cute and funny! it is sad the mama seals aren't there, but those dedicated folks are trying to train the pups to handle the natural environment. wonder how long the people listened to and watched adult seals with pups to mimic the behaviours and sounds. i have to say, that fella in the white t-shirt with the pup on the beach is not bad looking. :-P

Best. Job. Ever.
And I am totally qualified. I'm an expert snorgler and I can 'mehrowalaghuh' (thanks for the spelling, Kris) with the best of them.

And it makes me so happy to know that there are people like this in the world.

lori
 |  Jul 15, 2008 at 04:36 AM

That is the definition of awesome. I hereby declare that no seal rescuer who ever visits Cambridge will have to pay for his or her own beer.

 |  Jul 15, 2008 at 04:55 AM

Haha, that is so funny...

Holy Cuteness
 |  Jul 15, 2008 at 05:01 AM

I LOVE these people!!! I don't get to say that often...lol...also I must agree with K on "best CU post ever. ever. ever." :)

Oh. My. GOD!!! Fantastico!!!!!!

mommy25bunnies
 |  Jul 15, 2008 at 05:06 AM

This is fantastic to the point of being mystical... but these waterbabies' voices sound a bit, well, *barfy* to me. Hasten, Jason; bring the basin.

Theo
 |  Jul 15, 2008 at 05:14 AM

Theo, I totally agree on the 'barfy'!! I was thinking, man, if you had a weak stomach, forget about listening to the audio on this!

Kris
 |  Jul 15, 2008 at 05:48 AM

My new favorite CO post! I love this video! :D :D

Michelle
 |  Jul 15, 2008 at 05:50 AM

I posted and then it never showed up...weird!

[It published, honest! Probably the previous un-updated version of the page was cached in your browser, is all. Next time try hitting "F5" before re-posting your comment; this has been happening to me lately too... - Ed.]

Anyway, yes to the 'barfy' - I pity anyone with a weak stomach who listens to the audio!!!

Kris
 |  Jul 15, 2008 at 05:51 AM

One word.... PETA

katiedid
 |  Jul 15, 2008 at 06:08 AM

Brutal job. But I spoze somebody's gotta...

I did not know "rehabilitation" was another word for "snorgling". *runs off to find Roget*

Babs
 |  Jul 15, 2008 at 06:10 AM

Awww!
Thanks so much for this!
I was having a terrible morning and this managed to turn my attitude around.

ALL I CAN SAY IS ----- I WANT THEIR JOB!

MARYBETH

NMTOM - I'm with you, when do we leave?

That's got to be one of the best jobs in the world!!!

Nancy
 |  Jul 15, 2008 at 06:52 AM

I'm thinking about moving to Peru. You know...good economy and all that...what? What's that you say? There are precious baby sea lions being rehabilitated on beachers there? Hmmm...I had NO idea...*runs to boss to hand in two week notice*

 |  Jul 15, 2008 at 06:53 AM

I don't get why this isn't my job. "Here Cowgirl, listen to this doctor shuffle papers for an hour while people in Peru are snorgling sea lions!" What a maroon.

I know a few people Peruvian people, and they're all sweeties. I guess it's part of the national character.

Hey, I'm the subby and I feel very bad for not putting in the original submission that I found this via Neatorama.com

Imagine the coordinator who explained to these volunteers what they must do.
"So, basically, you're going to WALLOW, and you're going to go 'Meee-hheee-heeeeargh!' Can we practice, please?"

Ok, now that is just cool man.
Some people actually restore my faith in humanity.

Catsquatch
 |  Jul 15, 2008 at 08:05 AM

Awwwww...so heartwarming, so nice, I wanna hug the pups and peeps (especially that guy in the white t-shirt at the end of the clip)

BBM
 |  Jul 15, 2008 at 08:10 AM

...can you imagine the audition for this job?

"So what rehabbing gigs have you done before?"

"Lets hear your rendition of 'Mama Sealion blargy noise.'"

trin
 |  Jul 15, 2008 at 08:19 AM

Man, that's the best rehabilitation I've seen in a while, ever since they made puppets for cranes and condors.
Though I found myself giggling throughout the viewing--alot of them sounded like drunken sheep! And I especially agree with Theo with some of the girls--sounding like beyond-drunk sheep at the toilet. And can you imagine walking up to this beach, not being able to see the pups? That would merit a huge "What the..."
But way to go the extra mile for the little pups! I'd go the extra mile, they's ADORABLE!

Rowan
 |  Jul 15, 2008 at 08:22 AM

Um.. cute guy + cute bebeh sea lion + kisses and cuddles = lovelovelove

Lexi
 |  Jul 15, 2008 at 08:33 AM

Theo- Can (May) tease PETA now? I wanna be immature and lacking in self-restraint and kill everybody's buzzzzzz.

No, Theo, I don't.

Katrina
 |  Jul 15, 2008 at 08:36 AM

Dang it! Why, oh why, did I have to become an stupid accountant?!?! This job was not available when I was looking! While I still don't make boatloads of money, I am further insulted that I could be chillin' with baby pups of adorabuhlness instead of answering all these Stimulus Check questions!!! Life is officially NOT fair! :(

bugmom
 |  Jul 15, 2008 at 08:53 AM

that leetle sea lion looks like he's wearing pants that are way too long on him. :D

Gillie
 |  Jul 15, 2008 at 09:15 AM

I'm also pretty sure that at least some of those bebeh sea lions are saying "Nyerrrrhe."

Gillie
 |  Jul 15, 2008 at 09:17 AM

I'm sending them my resume:
#1: expert snorgler
#2: can wallow all day long
#3: can 'Meee-hheee-heeeeargh!' in several languages.

lori
 |  Jul 15, 2008 at 09:33 AM

BugMom, why does the Federal Government refuse to acknowledge our second child? Where the hell's our money???$?$$

(by all means, feel free to phrase your answer in Baby Sea Lion)

Theo
