Huh!?? Very honoured to be mentioned but... I had nothing to do with this sleeping beauty! Meg, did you get something mixed up!? Or is there another Kaisa K. fo' shizzle!? xx

"Overall lumpular shape" :D, a cute category into which i fit

I wish to lie down with my head on his side, listening to soft rhythymic bear breathing/heartbeat. I so tie-tie, too!!

Kaisa/Kasia -- I was once thrown for a loop too, when Meg's sender-inner credit was "Theo" and I hadn't done anything. Even got my last initial right.

Apparently, the internet is big. It's freaky.

Is this our old friend Knut by any chance? I felt so bad for him when Flocke was born and everybody flocke-d to the new, cute baby. ;) (See what I did there?)

I'm an older sibling, I know how that feels.

Floofy bear 'tocks in the a.m. Awwww! Right now I'm so tired I envy that bear.

Theresa, I'll always love Knut, 'cause he was the first. Though I do still love Flocke and the other new one, whose name escapes me at the moment. The world needs more polar bears, Colbert's just a sissy.

Hi everyone. Mornings are evil. I can't think of anything cute to say about this pic (need more coffee) so I just thought I'd say hi to everyone so you know I'm here.

It's amazing how animals totally zonk out on hard surfaces like ROCKS! Could you imagine getting that comfortable on rocks??? Inconceivable! (yes, I went there.)

Kris

First six points agreed. But surely the; looks like a smelly on moth eaten rug P.O.V Simply destroys, your whole premise

Oh, the dude looks hot. He needs some air conditioning or a trip to the north pole, stat.

Jory
 |  Jul 17, 2008 at 07:09 AM

Is that Flocke?? Sooo tie tie. Just like me right about now.

pitkat
 |  Jul 17, 2008 at 07:21 AM

Who's gonna tell him to move? Imagine how much floof and pudge there is between the b'ar's bones and that rock.
Good morning Erebella!

WAKE UP PEEPS! Did that help?

Err, what's the fuss, Kasia K.? Kaisa (NOT Kasia) is a common Finnish first name for a female so there are plenty of Kaisa K.'s around, even among the Cute Overload audience.

Tiina
 |  Jul 17, 2008 at 08:05 AM

Oh wow... unless I miss my guess, this is one HOT polar bear. My cat does the same flattening thing when she's hot. Loving the upturned giant pawlettes.

Fegli
 |  Jul 17, 2008 at 08:07 AM

Hi Katrina. :) Hey, for those regulars who aren't American, please say hello and tell me where you're from. I love talking to people from other countries and the accents and personalities that go with them.

Erebella
 |  Jul 17, 2008 at 08:11 AM

That is one big fuzzy butt. It is also the most boneless I have ever seen an animal that size look.

Patricia
 |  Jul 17, 2008 at 08:31 AM

That's me when I get home from work.

I'm from the Republic of Connecticut. We're a tough lot, with many intricacies and subtle nuances- our cuisine is delightful and our children-well, you know, we shoudn't brag, but we do anyway. It's just a little "Lake Wobegon" up here.
Whence comes our Erebella?

Katrina
 |  Jul 17, 2008 at 08:36 AM

Katrina -- I lived in St. Paul. I could walk a block to the Fitzgerald Theater. Growing up, my folks would never tune the radio away from those News From Lake Wobegon monologues.

Connecticut, you're no Lake Wobegon.

Theo

Theo
 |  Jul 17, 2008 at 08:47 AM

Katrina, are you south or north of the border of Red Sawx Nation?

Theresa
 |  Jul 17, 2008 at 09:07 AM

One thing I find endlessly endearing about all bears, even grizzlies, is the immense spherical roundness of their butts.

[It's just so *round*, it's like *out* there... - Ed.]

Theresa
 |  Jul 17, 2008 at 09:09 AM

ahhh. the temptation to go spoon with him is high.
but the desire to LIVE is much greater! :)
adorable.

I'm in Tulsa.......... Would rather be in Ireland - my heart's there but my body somehow got left here. Get me outta all this humid sunshine!

Theresa, well worded. We should write an essay on that subject and turn it in next week. Poetry is good too. Hmm, now what rhymes with butts?

Erebella
 |  Jul 17, 2008 at 09:19 AM

Yes, I like bear butts and I cannot lie.

Theresa
 |  Jul 17, 2008 at 09:19 AM

Tulsa, the home of the Tulsa Drillers!

Theresa
 |  Jul 17, 2008 at 09:21 AM

Erebella -- crewcuts!

Theo
 |  Jul 17, 2008 at 09:22 AM

Plus, you've got half the Yiddish lexicon at your disposal: klutz, yutz, putz, schmutz...

cheesybird
 |  Jul 17, 2008 at 09:33 AM

Erm, I hate to bring it up, but "nuts."

Theresa
 |  Jul 17, 2008 at 09:34 AM

Teho, considering we're talking about animals, where would the crewcut be? I would think the lovely furry butts would no longer be cute with crewcuts. Although it's funny. Reminds me of the bear in The Great Outdoors - remember the end?

Erebella
 |  Jul 17, 2008 at 09:35 AM

it's Ivar the Boneless...

Paunchie

Erebella - We are divided half Yankees, half Sawx. This household is Yankees. Neighbor on neighbor violence is frowned upon here, so, we all get along.

Thanks for the insight on Lake Wobegon, Theo, I'll stop making the comparison.

cheesybird, please to be careful in your rhyming,(insertsmileyfacehere!) the Yiddish patrol will come and get you _"p*tz" is the Yiddish word for one of a gentleman's private parts.
Yikes!
That is just a great bear.
Oh, Erebella, Connecticut is much more Ireland-like, you can live here instead!

Katrina
 |  Jul 17, 2008 at 10:26 AM

Come on down to Ballamer, Murlin, hon. It's humid as all hell here and hot! Damn hot!
By the way, has anyone else noticed the other Kris that has posted a few times? I think it's a "him" though. I haven't seen him around this week, so I guess I can keep my posting name simple for now. :o)

Kris
 |  Jul 17, 2008 at 10:46 AM

Oh, Teho. If I grew up that close to the weekly production of PHC I never would have left. Nevers! (Of course, when I was a kid, my dad worked at Disneyland, so perhaps there are those who envy me?)

Meanwhile, I applaud Meg's analysis of sweepy bear, whom I have decided to name "Rip Van Snorgle." Proof that you don't have to be teensy and newborn to be cute!

berthaservant
 |  Jul 17, 2008 at 10:49 AM

Katrina, considering the Yiddish patrol I know are all my elderly uncles, not so worried about them comin' after me. ;-) (BTW, "schmuck" means the same thing, but sadly doesn't rhyme as well with "butts")

Am I the only one here who's thinking "Paging Mr. Butts? Mr. Seymore Butts?"

cheesybird
 |  Jul 17, 2008 at 11:00 AM

Katrina, that was me with the Sawx border question. Of course, either way, with me you can't win. I'm a Mets fan. ;)

Theresa
 |  Jul 17, 2008 at 11:05 AM

Heh. The new star of "Arctic Weekend at Bernie's."

BUTTSHMUCK BUTTSHMUCK RAH RAH RAH!
That is all.

(Next time on The World's Silliest Insults, we will be counting down our annual top 100 disappointing double entendres. Also, spotlight on the versatile casserole, and its surprisingly snarky patron!)

(...OK, yes, it's Shakespeare again, dammit. We're still catching up from that buttshmuck slap-casserole writer's strike.)

Theo
 |  Jul 17, 2008 at 11:36 AM

Theo I double dog dare ya to go up to that thar bar and BUTTSCHMACK him once on each 'tock!

Nothing's happening.

Well, he's maybe a little smudgier now.

Theo
 |  Jul 17, 2008 at 11:56 AM

wonder if he would jiggle like jello cos he ain't got no bones??

Paunchie
 |  Jul 17, 2008 at 12:04 PM

"BUTTSCHMACK"? Isn't that the name of one of those World Wresting Entertainment thingies?
