I love that they're dressed in the colours of the websites too.

I was a newspaper for Hallowe'en once. Similar costume.

What a fitting costume combination! I know about Cute Overload because of my Slashdot-reading boyfriend (now husband). Remember the OMG PONIES!!!1! April Fool's Day?

I don't usually love human pictures on this site, but this girl is definitely Cute Overload material. Even the boyfriend is geeky enough to be cute!

Yes, bonus points for the Obama Punkin!!

"drunkard's crop circle" hee hee hee-that's exactly what my homemade Obama sign looks like!
Love the jack-o-lantern, love the costumes-you guys are too much!

1) what Obama pumpkin?
2) hilarious costumes!

Marianne

nevermind, see the pumpkin! awesome!

Marianne
 |  Nov 03, 2008 at 06:35 AM

The colors of the outfits really makes the costumes awesome. Awesomely geeky, but still.

I tried to dress up as The Drudge Report this year, but my headlines were so large, I couldn't get through the front door.

Thank you, I'll be here all week. ;-)

I wish I had a girlfriend :(

hehehe this is so adorable.

Very clever!!!

Kris

@ Lonely Cat Owner: Quick question...Where are you? ;)

Since we're talking about humans... guess what I got for my birthday this past weekend??????

The CO Calendar!!! YAYAYAYAYAYAY! \o/

i was going to be a cute overload person for halloween this year. i had the whole outfit planned out and everything, but the fabric paint i was using to draw a shirt had a different idea :p
(it didn't turn out well)
i'm glad someone did it though! yay%Pr

Come on Honey! smile for the camera!

sender inner Johanna is very cute and 'perky-friendly' looking isnt she?

scooterpants
 |  Nov 03, 2008 at 08:21 AM

Talk about geek chic.

Allan
 |  Nov 03, 2008 at 08:44 AM

I wonder if Johanna's costume had hovertext by Theo? (Nice job Johanna and b.f. and OBAMA!)

berthaservant
 |  Nov 03, 2008 at 08:49 AM

And BOOOOOOOOOOOOOO on the "Yes on H8" blogads!!! Separation of Church and State, people. How'd you like the state to vote on YOUR marriage? How'd you like it if someone from another church passed a law saying you couldn't marry who you wanted? NO ON H8!!!

berthaservant
 |  Nov 03, 2008 at 08:51 AM

OH! Brinnann! Naughty!! ;)

DKN
 |  Nov 03, 2008 at 09:02 AM

Hmm maybe I will go as Facebook next Halloween.... gives me ideas... :)

Fegli
 |  Nov 03, 2008 at 09:03 AM

Thanks everybody -- you're too sweet. I think "adorkable" is my new favorite word! And I know I should have gotten my cat in the pictures for the full effect, but she was pissed about the Halloween party already :)

My Obama pumpkin turned out well but I can't take credit for the idea, just the tracing skills -- check out yeswecarve.com for more awesome Barack-O-Lanterns plus stencils to make your own. Halloween's over but your pumpkin can still be topical for another day...

Johanna
 |  Nov 03, 2008 at 09:13 AM

Very cute and a fun idea. Makes me want to wear pink and yellow now!

Karo

I'm in southern Europe, where men are (obviously?) supposed to be men, and not live with a cat they've rescued from the streets. If men do wish to have animals, then those men should have some manly "Ugly Overload" dogs. Oh, and drink lots of beer. (Men, not dogs.)

Lonely Cat Owner
 |  Nov 03, 2008 at 09:14 AM

I went as a website too... or rather, a sort of overgrown LOLcat.

I even had a squeaky cheezburger toy :-)

I like it that she included mr. globular piglet squid on there!

Nice work, yous twos!

 |  Nov 03, 2008 at 10:39 AM

whats the matter, Not That Mike The Other Mike, jealous of the traffic he gets?

james
 |  Nov 03, 2008 at 10:39 AM

1. Why did I not think to go as cuteoverload?? I'm sooo doing that next year. Or being a pretty pretty princess....we'll see.

2. First thing on my christmas list: CO Calendar. I have even pointed out to "santa" exactly where to purchase it.

3. Lonely Cat Owner: You sound like an amazing catch! Too bad I have a bunny and live on the wrong continent! Still, an animal lover is a good thing indeed!

Macey
 |  Nov 03, 2008 at 11:13 AM

So THAT'S the famous Johanna who seems to have a direct line to Meg's post-this-picture-immediately-inbox! Nice job, you two!

I'd have to think about which website I'd want to dress as. Hmm...

AuntieMame
 |  Nov 03, 2008 at 11:15 AM

The fact that this is tagged as Primates and Unusual animals is what sells it. hehe

Amalia
 |  Nov 03, 2008 at 11:32 AM

I thought the headline read: "Flatulence will get you everywhere."

Pussytoes
 |  Nov 03, 2008 at 11:39 AM

Lonely Cat Owner- your days of being lonely are through-through I say! Stick with us, we like you! Who is your cat?

Katrina
 |  Nov 03, 2008 at 11:41 AM

Lonely Cat Owner, sadly I, too, and on the wrong continent. :( Deep South United States to be exact.

brinnann
 |  Nov 03, 2008 at 11:48 AM

Cute + geeky = WIN. I also love the word "adorkable".

Christine H
 |  Nov 03, 2008 at 12:06 PM

Nyerhe, AuntieMame, not the same Johanna... But I'm sure The Other Johanna is just as cute.

Poohbear
 |  Nov 03, 2008 at 12:54 PM

Lonely Cat Owner, I'm on the RIGHT continent... don't suppose you're tall dark and handsome as well as being a kitty rescuing superhero?

If Only...
 |  Nov 03, 2008 at 01:06 PM

Geeshe, is everyone who visits this site an Obama supporter? Not that I'm complaining... Vote Obama!
No, seriously, vote for Obama.

Sunstorm
 |  Nov 03, 2008 at 01:52 PM

The Obama pumpkin is awesome as well!

Angela at mommy bytes
 |  Nov 03, 2008 at 01:55 PM

@Lonely Cat Owner - Man, wrong continent. Know that we like you, though! I love cats too, so don't be ashamed! And who on this site doesn't like cats? Honestly.

Sunstorm
 |  Nov 03, 2008 at 01:59 PM

barf.

Next year they should swap. Hehe.
