Oh Yah, You Betcha! (wink!)
"... and in my travels, it's been such a genuine thrill and honor to meet so many of you hard-working, down-to-earth, honest-to-Betsy, meat-and-potatoes, tough-as-nails folks, what I like to call the 'real dogs' that form the best part of this great country of ours.
"Why, over there, I can see Carl the Car-Chaser, and there's Fred the Frisbee-Catcher, and Bob the Barker, and Steve the Snorgler, and Larry the Leg-Lover, and Ned the Napper, and Ted the Toilet-Drinker-Outer-Ofer ..."
Just six more days, Melissa F. the Sender-Inner ...
Can NTMTOM do no wrong? because it certainly seems as such. another winning post!
OK, I'd vote for this pup!
Ah, NTMTOM! You makin' me laff today! Office-sharer is lookin' at me like I'm ready for the padded cell! I just about snorfed my coffee! NO FAIR!
I thought theo was the one living in Minnesota!
[Honey that *ain't* Minnesotan. Uff DA. - Ed.]
Well, golly, I'd betcha' he'd make a darn better runnin' mate, for sure.
Sorry, Mike. Your sentences are FAR too grammatically coherent to be authentic Palin-speak.
OMG, "Bob the Barker" just great!
Hahahahahahaaaa!!
My fave is "Ted the Toilet-Drinker-Outer-Ofer ..." Of-er - love it!
@divinebluesky
He's speaking Alaskan, not Minnesotan.
What's this pup's name? I want to write it in on Tuesday.
Heck yes I'm qualified to post on this blog! I can see my neighbor's computer from my dog house, dontcha know.
Also too, my opponent likes to pal around with Cats, and would redistribute the kibble in this great dog park of ours that we love more than our opponent
you all are makin me snort out loud!
but where's his lipstick?
And let's not forget Petey-the-Pooper, Susie-the-Squirrelchaser, Nicky-the-Kneehumper, Harry-the-Howler, Betty-the-Bellyrubber, and yeah, and doncha know - Tiny. I think that little guy is whatcha call a "Chihuahua Witness" or somethin', but hey, that's okay. That's America's dogs for ya.
Can we keep politics out of this site, please? This should be a refuge from all of the other crap in our lives.
I would like to know if this pup agrees with the Bush Doctrine.
Great lines, but a winking German Shepperd, my favorite breed of all time, slayed me!
love it, non-tom, except the dog's way too cute!
let the humorless nuffing begin...
God I love C.O.!!! This post made my day, I totally heard S.P.'s voice instantly in my head while reading this. Great job NTMTOM!!!
A beautiful doggie. What silky ears, what an engaging wink, and a truffle-nose! Rocking a rock-bottom wardrobe, too. ;)
How much did this pup spend on collars?
Thanks for ruining cuteoverload for me.
I am an independent who comes to cuteover from a break from politics on both sides of the aisles. I guess even cute will have a party affilation now.
[As long as you vote, and I mean whichever way your conscience directs you, then it's cool. - Ed.]
Hee! This is too cute, pic and dialogue... Very well done!
OK, I'd vote for this pup!
Hahaha, pup is giving Tina Fey a run for her money.
I want to kiss his nose and ruffle his ears!
Silly nuffs, did you forget your senses of humor at home today?
"And I'm good on foreign policy, I can see a Black Russian Terrier and a Siberian Huskie from my kitchen window!"
He's the man!
I'm always amused (and faintly annoyed) when people come onto the site wailing about something "ruining" it for them. The site is not up to cater to specific people's preferences, you know. Try and get over yourselves, ignore the entries you don't like and appreciate the ones you do.
The dog is adorable, and it made me laugh.
so cute. winking dog does it for me everytime!
And they forgot Joe the Jumper!
I love it dogies wink. Do not like when Sarah Palin winks.
While looking through Flickr explore today, I came across this gem: http://www.flickr.com/photos/mayphoto18/2973115828/
Sarah Puplin!
I'm sensing a theme among dog owners . . .
Steppy is also tired of the politics but this is way too cute. At least this dog can admit hes a dog. What cha say, ignore political comments and look at the picture and let your troubles melt away. Excuse me while I snorgle that part just behind his left ear.
I'm a Yellow-Dog-Democrat, but happy to vote for black-n-tan dogs too!
James and Awen,
Seriously, settle down and enjoy the silliness.
and also I love when my two favorite things collide - animals and politics - here in the heartland where dogs and cats are the true Americans who love their country and so forth dontchaknow...
Dear sir or madam:
I would like to protest in the strongest possible terms about the recent inclusion of political discourse in your cute animal themed weblog. It is a well known fact that civilizations decline in their power and prestige when the citizenry engages in tomfoolery which attempts to comically represent the intersection of variegated fields of study, to whit, the recent growth of "interdisciplinary" education in our institutes of higher education, the so-called "post-modern" influence in the world of the visual arts, academic conferences concerning so-called "popular" culture, and the artistic atrocity referred to colloquially as the "mash-up."
I fear that if we pursue this path of drawing comparisons between cute animals and popular culture any further, we run the risk of watering down our pure thoughts about what is and has always been and always shall be. Soon, we will have peanut butter and jelly sold in the same jar, dehydrated grapes coated in the milky extract of the cacao bean, Italian pizza pie adorned with tropical fruit, "westerns" in "outer space," girls wearing mukluks and skirts, and television stars from one network guest starring on a television show on a rival network. THIS MUST NOT BE ALLOWED TO HAPPEN.
Furthermore, I inform you that the broom handle recently inserted into my rectum will not be withdrawn under any circumstances, despite the pleas of my few remaining friends.
If said post is not removed from my site within 24 hours you will feel the wrath of my cancellation and yet another sternly worded missive which I intend to file with the Secretary of State and the Department of Ending Nonsense.
Yours, etc.
Brigadier General Clyde A. Bruckman (Mrs.)
P.S. I just hope no one votes for the socialist! (I'm looking at you, maverick executive who took money from wealthy corporations and spread it around to people in your state who did nothing to earn that money).
Ave Berthaservant!
What, independents can't find Palin's wink-wink nudge-nudge superficiality disgusting? Please. Spare me. Don't like it, don't read it.
Oh yeah. AWWWWW! Love winking doggies!
And the hovertext is eerily accurate....
I also like it when animals wink, but can't stand to be winked at by humans.
Wait, wait, wait. Dogs wink?
I seriously need to start using the phrase "to whit" more often. Mama likes.
I visit this site several times a day to get away from the mean-spirited talk that is everywhere. I do not appreciate that the administrators are allowing such posts to be representative of what they consider "cute". "Don't like it, don't read it," is exactly what will happen. And I am crossing the Cute (?) Overload calendars off my gift-giving list. What you posted and what you allowed to stand in comments is NOT "all in fun."
johnston45: I am very interested in your gift-giving plans and would like to subscribe to your newsletter.
I heart you berthaservant. I heart you.
J.45 -- oh dear. I'm not *appreciated*. Le sniffle.
Wait, wait, wait. Dogs wink?
Sure, but they can't look up.
Don't cry little Theo, I appreciate you. My AND my sense of humor appreciate you.
[Le snicker... - Ed.]
Now please go on about the business of building YOUR OWN DING-DANG SITE WHERE YOU CAN DO AND SAY WHAT YOU WANT!!!
J.45 - I give you, the door...
I have been trying to decide who to vote for this year and this pup just got my vote!!! Thanks NTMTOM - this was one of your best
