The Amazing Remote-Control Otters!
OK, for this next trick, you need to get a remote-control device. TV, stereo, it doesn't really matter, as long as it has a really big button on it. Go ahead, we'll wait. (elevator music, dum dee dum...) Got it? Now, incredible as this may sound, your remote control will let you switch off these otters' brains all at once. Start the video, and get ready to push the really big button ... right ... about ...
(00:24) ... now. Was that cool or what?!
Wait, we're gonna do it again. On your mark ... get set ...
(00:36) ... click.
Wow, Philip K., that was totally (click) ...
... awesome.

I've never seen an otter outside the water before. I wonder if that high pitched squeal translates to "where is the water" or "take us to your leader."
Yay, squeaky otters!
JNO - otters are happy on dry land as well as in the water, but they will have a pool or something nearby to splash about in.
ohhh poor otters need water
Cut to - Dora not getting jack shit done today because of this bleedin' video. *sigh*

adopt one :)
I didn't know they mewed like that!
Yeah, I think the remote-controller hit the button that's the French word for stop: p-a-u-s-e. That was right after he hit the recordificate button. Who else has seen that commercial? Yeah, you know what I'm talking about.
they're not mewing!
Quite obviously, they're singing.
A song we don't know.
With a few rests in it.
And doing some choreography.
/got nuttin'
ahhhhhhhhhh - i want to dive into a pile of otters! So kewt!
Erebella
It's not P-A-U-S-E, it's 'poh-zay'!
Thayat's Frinch!
LOL!
Yes, seen the ad!
OMG! That's totally otter-control! *snerk*
I crack myself up, sometimes
Singing: "You go back, Jack, do it again...otters mewing round and round...you go back, Jack, do it again."
Pawzhe! After we recordificate! *snerk*
Yeah, our president's an eejit. He would so lose on Are You Smarter than a Fifth Grader, wouldn't he?
Oh yes he would lose! What a joke! These otters are so cute I wonder why they do that?
D'awww. A squeaky pile!
Methinks them otters want a better habitat.
Adorable... otters!
But.
Are they sad? There's no water. :( I'm worried about them.
I think otters are actually smarter than dolphins and are going to try to take over the world one day. They know how to use their cuteness and their squeakiness is pleasing to the ears and easily mimicable!
***runs to get tinfoil hat***
OMG OTTER SQUEEAGE!
OMG!
*falls over dead from cuteness*
I wonder why, though, they're all in that fenced in area together like that, with no water or anything. Isn't that the complete opposite of an otter habitat?
Two questions - does anyone know how old these guys are? And, lol. I must be tired. I forgot my other question...
LOLOL! That's frikkin' hilarious! I love the recordificate commershe too. Much better than the Trump one.
This is the rare Fermata Otter, so named because of a tendency to insert dramatic pauses into their daily sing-song. In human behavior, this is referred to as a phenomenon as "Tiberius interruptus," better known on the street as - "Shatnering."
Peeps, all we are seeing is one small (dry) corner of a much larger enclosure. I'm sure they have water, but for some reason are congregating in this corner... I suspect watching for dindin to arrive. Can you imagine bringing in a tray of dinner and being swarmed by a fuzzy otter ambush?
berthaservant:
Fermata Otter! That's even funnier if you're in Bahston!
Fermata Ottah!
They almost sound like seagulls! I'm pretty sure otters won't swoop in and steal your french fries though...
It's like how in a noisy crowded room, the conversation lulls every 5 minutes or so, leaving the one person left talking feeling so awkward they usually stop mid-sentence.
Except in super-otter-talk, it happens ever 20 seconds!
Oh, how very Pinteresque of you, otters!
Water? No way, Argentee.
I've seen this enclosure, and instead of water, you know what they have? A big pool of boiling oil. And at night, they bring in a smoke machine and a bunch of wolverines and they make 'em fight on a wire hanging over the boiling oil, and sometimes the otters are so desperate to swim that they don't even fight back, they just let themselves be thrown to their deaths. Then the fried otters are eaten by foreigners.
Wow, it's like ottery Beatles/Bay City Rollers/Jonas Bros. were in the next enclosure.
(And oh, world? Never use Papyrus font again. Kthx!)
LMAO at Bay City Rollers!!!!!
What's wrong with Papyrus, PoT?

Thread hijack - update on my original hijack of the "kitty hairball" post...
My mom just got a call from the vet. Her dog has cancer, and it's all over. He actually wanted to put her down right then but my mom resisted. She had been given the same advice from a different vet when her cat had cancer, and the cat lived for another 2 1/2 years. She's going in to talk to the vet, but best case scenario is probably just a couple of weeks. Thank you SO much to all who sent their prayers and positive thoughts and good wishes, but the outcome is not what we'd hoped for.
I've been to the New Forest Otter and Owl Centre, and they have a huge enclosure... it has pools for them to swim in, so don't worry. I think they're mewing cos it's close to feeding-time...
but are they LAVA pools??
...and more seriously, YankeeBird, my sympathies.
I am so so sorry to hear that yankeebird. Though I did not respond, I was thinking of your mom today. Whatever happens, I hope your mom can try to appreciate each moment that she has left with her. Remember that dogs live in the moment, so she should try to enjoy and play and make some smiles before it's too late. I will give my goobs an extra hug a piece tonight while thinking of your mom.
Thanks, Teho, and apologies for the off-topic comments. I really try not to do those. It's just that the people here are so kind-hearted and supportive, I needed a little of that.
I'm sorry, yankeebird. I thought about your mom and her dogs a lot since your other post. I'm so good at putting myself in other people's shoes, I'm trying not to cry right now just thinking about your mom. I'll keep rooting for her, though.
Not lava, canola oil, Teho.
Well, at least it's not trans fats.
yankeebird, hang in there and enjoy the time you and mom have left with the pupster.
lava lamps?
Lava soap.
**hugs to Yankeebird**

Dancing Otters Yay!
Yankeebird, sending you and your mom soothing purrs.
@Berthaservant! "TiberiusInteruptus"!!!"Shatnering"!!! Bwahahahaha!!!!! That's hilarious!!!
@Yankeebird: I'm facing a similar situation with one of my cats - Hugs to your Mom - are you familiar with the Rainbow Bridge? You can google it and find it - it's a lovely description of pet Heaven. It might be some comfort.
Aww, Yankeebird, what can we say..maybe that we are here and we are here and we are here and we are here. Best wishes, Katrina
And I don't think this is off-topic anytime, just for the record.
Another issue to send your thoughts to: someone or someones here in Tulsa did something TERRIBLE to some dogs and the police here are foaming at the mouth to find those responsible. Cross your fingers that they do cuz these people HAVE to be punished. K, I'm done, happy thoughts now!
