스크랩 [팝뉴스] 우리 사진이 세상에서 최고로 귀여워

[까미아찌(심용수)]

우리 사진이 세상에서 최고로 귀여워

[팝뉴스 2006-07-10 11:53]

세상에서 가장 귀여운 사진과 동영상 등을 모으겠다는 포부를 밝히고 있는 커뮤니티 사이트 더 큐트 프로젝트(The Cute Project)가 해외 네티즌 사이에서 인기를 얻고 있다.

이 사이트에서 활동하는 이들은 스스로를 큐티즌(cutizen, cute와 netizen 합성)이라 부르는데, 귀여운 분위기의 사진을 직접 촬영해 사이트에 올리는 경쟁에 몰두한다.

이들의 작품들 중에는 특히 동물 사진들이 많다. 눈밭을 걸어가는 선한 눈망울의 족제비, 패스트리를 뜯어 먹는 카나리아가 호평을 받는 편이다.

그 이외에도 쥐, 고양이, 강아지 등이 귀여움의 절정을 과시하는 주요 사진 모델들이다.

Dona-dog

You know that guy in college—the guy that owns the van that everyone piles into to go to Taco Bell? You know—he's the guy who has a cassette tape that gets stuck in the van tape player, and everyone has to sing the same Bob Marley songs for four years? And his last name is "Donahue", so the van is nicknamed "Dona-van"? And he glues antlers on his scooter helmet, and insists everyone barbeque with him constantly? Remember that guy?

Well, this is the puppy that guy eventually gets for his kids.

Welcome to the family, Millie! (XOXOX, Joey D.!)

Debauchery Friday: Breakfast of Champions 2

First, there was Breakfast of Champions with that lil' Diet Coke-swigging Lab. NOW, we have an even better way to start the day. Obvy, it's time for this Lil' gal to chug-a-pug.

I didn't mean to make that pun, Julie S., I swear. It's all the commenters fault for starting the pun wars! I'm INNOCENT!!!

Eight is Enough!

Sender-inner Karla didn't say how the photo below came to be, but she did add this important information:

1. "OH... MY... GOD!!!!  don't you just want to put them in your mouth!? times 8!"

I can only hope that the "Tom Bradford/Dick Van Patten" dog sucessfully rounds up "David", "Mary", "Joanie", "Susan", "Nancy", "Elizabeth", "Tommy" and of course, "Nicholas" successfully.

Cheep cheep, Karla!

Let's hear it for the Soft Kronche™

Do you know what I mean? The "Soft Kronche™" is when a dog takes a really slow, soft bite on something—real gentle-like—I love that. They're like: "Is eet OK to bite?" Like when they take a treat, it's a responsible, soft, kronche.

Just a little patience [Axl voice]

Kitten: [Looks at a dog that can one-bite him] "Aw yeah—Playground Central!™"
Dog: [shifty eyes] "Don't even think—"

Kitten: "SNOOOOOOOOOORG"
Dog: [eyeballs kitten size versus his own mouth size] "uh Boy. Here we go."

Kitten: "SCALING MONT MASTIFF!!!"
Dog: [eye roll]

Kitten: [Irish accent] "ah! Pullin' over me covers fer a long winters nap!"
Dog: [thinking] "You've got to be kidding me—he does accents?!"

Kitten: [Looking dog straight in the eye] "Same time tomorrow?"
Dog: [Thinking] "With some Béarnaise sauce, you'd taste pretty good!"

Newsflash: Terrier finally lies down after hours of running around

This lil' energetic terrier pup finally took a rest after running around crazily all day. Activities included pant-chewing, grass-eating, yipping, never slowing to less than a trot and smearing his nose on the clear-glass door to the backyard.

At least that's what I'm imagining.

Rufus stops by for a bite

ROOFEES is back. While his Mom and Pop were out on a dinner date, Rufus got a little "mungry" ('hungry' in Mongrelspeak) and decided to do some chomping on his babysitter—Van Gogh-style. It was a delightful evening.

Did Someone Say Rufus?

Sparkster here again, with a CO Exclusive™.  Rufus rooms with a coworker and makes regular appearances at my office.  How bitter is the wife when I get to see scenes like this every other day?  Pretty bitter...  Ha!  Take that, wife!

I explained to Rufus how popular he is on Cute Overload and managed to secure this interview.  He gave me 10 minutes.

S: Rufus, what are you training for right now?

R: Bark, bark, bark!  *cough*  *cough*  Sorry, about that.  I'm in deep training right now trying to drop some critical pounds in preparation for kicking some serious dog ass in the park.

S: Right, right.  That Pit seemed to be, uh, "frontin'" the other day...

R: Homie, don't try to talk street.  You sound like a jack ass.  Anyway, you're talking about "Francis."  He scraped the inside of my leg the other day and thinks he's a playah, but he ain't.

S: That's heavy.  How are you training?

R: Oh, yeah...  You're talking about the Rufus Program.  The Program is rock solid! The Program is sound!  See these muscles?  See them!?  Go ahead and squeeze!  That's pure muscle, baby!

S: OK, I'm feeling like I need an adult here...

R: Whatever...  Here's the program:

1. Maniacal Office Run
- Run around the office at breakneck speeds for no apparent reason.
Reps: 5/day

2. Prancing
- Take extra high steps to work those quads.  Shows everyone else who's the dog (man).  Also really important for those shorts endorsements.
Reps: All day

3. Garbage Can Stretch
- Stretch over a garbage can and put your head down as far as you can.  Burn, baby, burn!
Potential Bonus: Snackables!  Mmm...
Reps: 3/day

MB: Impressive.  So I noticed some iPod ear phones.  Rufus, what's on your iPod?

R: It's called a dogPod.  Anywho, Survivor is of course on heavy rotation.  I'm also a big fan of Quiet Riot and some early Black Sabbath.  Oh, and Britney...  I'm *all* about Britney.

MB: Great stuff!  So what about these rumors about you and Ms. Champion Eclipse Envy O Sportingfield?

R: Look...  We just had coffee.  That's it!  And in case you hear differently, I'm all man!  Not that you will, because all we had was coffee.

R: This has been great, but I'm late for a meeting with my agent.

MB: Uh, right.  Thank you. Rufus.

OMG. I seriously cannot stop laughing at this poor dog. I think I've been laughing for a solid five minutes. Look at that haircut. He must be absolutely furious. LOOK at the fro with the trapezoid that is cut out to allow his beady eyes some room! OMG, ROTFL. And the poor other dog in the background is getting his hair cut the SAME WAY will have the SAME FATE. Oh, man, this is too much. I haven't laughed this hard since, well, the last post.

"Luzadies," Rufus writes, "You know I haf been thinkingk of you seence my last veesit on the site." [swigs a muzzle full of Brandy] "I haf been keeping your lovely faces in my mind, even een my dreams, seence I sleep so moishe. Ladies, I send you my love—dee love off a thousand Ee-talian greyhounds. I weesh you—no, don't speak—[paw covering your mouth] dee best for dee Valentine's day...You deserve eet."

Then he snuck under the covers again. Go figure.

Do you mind? I'm trying to take a dump here...

In what is likely going to be my last post ever, Meg let me write about Knuckle, who clearly has deep seated hostility issues toward owner Anna that haven't been resolved despite years of costly dog therapy.

Grumbled Knuckle, "stick my nose in the carpet... They were symbols of affection, I tells ya! Symbols! It's not like I can go out and get a Hallmark card! At least I didn't bring you a dead rat like the goddamn cat did! And let me tell you a little something about that precious cat. He licks his butt before jumping into bed with you... There, I said it."

It's like a cute version of The Godfather

Remember in The Godfather when the dude wakes up with the horse head in his bed? Well, this was much cuter. We had the pleasure of pupsitting for "Rufus" (which we immediately adapted to "ROOFEES!") for the weekend, and he was a total delight. The entire weekend, I couldn't do any work—nuthin'. All I could do was stare at little Roofees and his little tiny eyes and touch his ears. The amount of staring got so ridiculous that I barely took photos, I just stared at him. What a beautiful animal. The best part was that he liked to sleep in too, 'til like, 11.

So, it get's to be late on Sunday night, and I realize I haven't accomplished a thing but staring at this puppy all weekend long, so I sneak out of the room to work after Rufus goes to sleep. I come back 2 hours later and this is what I see:

Perfect! And I thought I was Slugerella. Thanks to Tommy and Claire for the quality Rufus time.

Here's the deal. "Finnegan" the squirrel was found under a tree in Renton (state unknown.) Finnegan was brought to the home of Debby "Sure I'll take care of him!" Cantlon for care. Meanwhile, Debby's papillion pup "Mademoiselle Giselle" (I am not making this up) decides she can help out too, and brings Finnegan in with her new puppies. Finnegan proves to be one sweet squirrel, riding mosh pits of puppies and cuddling with his littermates.

Paws as legs--genius!

Listen up people, this is important. As recently as last Halloween, the team of experts at C.O.H.Q. noticed a startling trend. A trend...in Dogwear. Specifically Dog Halloween Costumes that managed to captivate on-lookers like no other costume. What's the new technology? It's so simple, we couldn't believe it ourselves--front paws that mimic human "legs".

Allow us to show you exhibit A; "Cowgirl Maggie". She looks absolutely fabulous, and looks only mildly annoyed!

The lil' faux arms take us leaps forward in Pet Fashion. Then there is the dog costume Mona Lisa, shown as Exhibit B below. You simply can't beat the Collie's nose + The Krispy Kreme Donut Guy outfit.

You've died, you've gone to heaven (God let you slide on that shoplifting incident) and you're sitting in the grass near your Heaven House, with a perfectly mixed Long Island Iced Tea, and this beautiful little pup comes trotting up to you. Can you feel it?

Thanks to David Dyer ;)

First of all, this image is called "Stan after blow dried.jpg" which is hilarious. Second, WHO could name a prosh pup like this Stan? Did he come out carrying a briefcase? I'd like you to meet the rest of the litter, this is Larry, Reginald, and Barbara.

Sure, Stan has a high Beady Eye Factor, but he's the cutest baby Pomeranian of ALL TIME. Stan owns you!

Cuteness GOLD!

Thanks to The Statesman Journal of Salem, Oregon, for the following photo which should win an effing OSCAR. It fufills so many cuteness rules, for starters, it's more than one type of baby animal, second, it's a Chihuahua and Chipmunk combination! The only thing cuter might be the Chihuahua and the chipmunk nursing on a deer, causing a Cuteness Trifecta™—but—that would also be weird.

Apparently, a quick-thinking vet (who is obvoiusly a fan of CuteOverload.com) sent this Chihuahua home with an orphaned baby Chipmunk and hoped for the best. Holy Thanksgiving!

Look at all the factors here: you've got FOUR helpless baby animals, many of whom will gladly kill each other once grown, a Hallmark-riffic background, a "conversation" of sorts, lead by a gerbil-like thing. What could he possibly be saying to the others? "I'm the cutest, but my beady eyes are a drawback in this contest?" Simply stunning! Major props.

Jack's on duty

Excerpted from Yahoo:

WEST MILFORD, N.J. - A black bear picked the wrong yard for a jaunt, running into a territorial tabby who ran the furry beast up a tree—twice.

Jack, a 15-pound orange and white cat, keeps a close vigil on his property, often chasing small animals, but his owners and neighbors say his latest escapade was surprising.

"We used to joke, 'Jack's on duty,' never knowing he'd go after a bear," owner Donna Dickey told The Star-Ledger of Newark for Friday's editions.

Neighbor Suzanne Giovanetti first spotted Jack's accomplishment after her husband saw a bear climb a tree on the edge of their northern New Jersey property on Sunday. Giovanetti thought Jack was simply looking up at the bear, but soon realized the much larger animal was afraid of the hissing cat.

After about 15 minutes, the bear descended and tried to run away, but Jack chased it up another tree
Dickey, who feared for her cat, then called Jack home and the bear scurried back to the woods. "He doesn't want anybody in his yard," Dickey said.

I'll say!

Cuteporter: The Historic Anderson (Cat) House

NOTE -- this is a long-winded Theo post. You have now been warned.  ;)

Where should you take your Schmoopie for your 3rd anniversary? Where else but a cat house?

The Historic Anderson House Hotel in Wabasha, Minnesota accepts the unavoidable joke, but there's no hidden meaning here: Their resident cats are the real, literal sort.

We arrived a little late, but well before sundown, and were promptly taken to dinner. It was well presented, generously portioned, and they certainly kept the wines (plural!) coming. The setting on the sun porch was idyllic; it was completely private, with crystal and candles and flowers and A/C and a very nice view of traditional river-town Americana. (Wabasha is "the oldest city in MN" so we're talking about the real thing here.) Our hostess struggled valiantly with an uncooperative CD player to provide background music, which was actually kind of funny; and really, Jaye & I were in a quibble-proof mood, which the wine maaay have enhanced. All in all, it was a lovely dinner.

Our room was a cozy B&B-style haven. We had a very peaceful sitting area, with large windows and all-enveloping wing chairs, where we could sink in and soak up Main Street and Mighty Mississip'. For a while, in fact, there were a couple of twentysomethings a block down with a motorcycle. We couldn't help spying a little. They smooched, they fiddled with their saddlebags, they snogged; they wandered around making expansive arm gestures ("Just LOOK at all of this!"), wandered back, played a little tonsil hockey, groped, and sucked face. Finally they hopped on the bike and rode off parallel to the sunset. Kids.

(You're hearing about these two junior schmoopers 'cause some things Daddy keeps to hisself. You'll make do.)

Our suite was not one of the "cat-approved" rooms, sadly. To their credit, Anderson House doesn't declaw their kitters, and claws aren't compatible with antique furniture and wallpaper. To help balance out this lack of feline companionship, the sitting room came equipped with a large whirlpool tub in the back corner, which came equipped with a little squirty duck, who in turn came equipped with a snorkel. The duckie we named Pervert. Possibly Jaye was going to call him Herbert, and I misheard, but then it just seemed to fit.

We checked to make sure the tub worked. It did. It worked quite well. Naughty, naughty duckie.

Champagne was waiting for us when we returned from dinner.  We packed it up for a future occasion, because there was just no freakin' way.

Breakfast the next morning was hearty country omelets, which were excellent. I'd recommend Anderson House's breakfast to anyone. Plus, they have gnomes. Actually, gnomes can get downright unsettling.

OK OK OK... yes, before we left, we did get to meet the cats. We almost left the roses behind, but we weren't about to leave without saying hi to the furbs. After all, protocols must be observed, or the terrorists win. And I'm pleased to report that all five of Anderson House's felines are fine, fit & friendly. They'd have to be, as Jaye pointed out, but it impressed me to meet 5 personable cats sharing cubby quarters in harmony.

That's Morris, on the far left. Morris is, of course, Anderson House's tiger tabbie, without which no cat house would be complete. Note the characteristic lip freckles.

Next to him is Arnold, caught in a yawn, and a sink. This pic just cries for captions, doesn't it? Hmm...

What you don't see here (near right) is that Ginger is a SHOULDER KITTY. How cool is that? "No, that's OK, really, you don't need to put me down. I'm all kinds o' good. Purr. Purr." She didn't even dig her claws in for purchase, like some OTHER cats [ahem]. And while Aloysius (al-oh-ISH-us, their grey-and-white "rookie" cat) was camera-shy, Goblin wasn't. Fuh-LOOF.

<-- Pervert was a total camera slut and stowed away home in the weeds.

Interesting note: I don't know if it was the gnome magics, the river air, the swirly tub, the innate healing powers of felis domesticus... or just drinking a couple of glasses of water with dessert... but by rights we should've had hammer-head hangovers the next morning. And? Not a twinge. We coulda bounced right back into our offices and been sunny & brilliant, if needed. That's worth a Yay -- or two, since it wasn't needed.

FYI, Anderson House is currently celebrating their 150th anniversary, which trumped ours by a factor of 50. In honor of their one-five-oh (and our three-point-oh), we had a chance to draw the "free room" key-fob out of a jar (missed it, alas) and drop our name into a lottery to win an ornately-embroidered kimono. In return, I hipped them to a blog that I thought they might enjoy. (Hi folks! Thanks again!)

Now, I did splurge a bit, with the suite and the "romantic package." It was nice to be taken care of, though. Bottom line, it was a most satisfactory stay, and we left happy and revived. And if you're feeling jealous at all, remember they've got 5 admirable cats, 36 perfectly good rooms & presumably 150 more years. The numbers are in your favor.

Yep, it's a pretty common problem

Lemme juuuuuust take a look here. General Chiptractor sent me—said you needed some help. Yeppers, I can see why. Simple case of thee uh, crank shaft disconnecting from the fetzer valve. Those valves are, uh, notorious in these here '76 Jimmys. Yepp-per. Now, you prepare that Fetzer valve with some, uh, 3-in-1 oil and some gauze pads, and she should be good to er, go there.

We Are Your Couchmasters

Well met and well come to the court of Blue Couch, capital and seat of power for all of Living Room.  The protocols are as they have always been, fair pilgrim:  There will be no sipping of precarious liquids.  There will be no hogging of blankets.  There will be no licking of hineys.  And above all, this court will brook no blasphemy.  We need hardly mention that transgressions will be swiftly dealt with.  We've got eyebeams and by golly we'll use them if we have to.

Offerings of the chewy fish and crunchy peanut variety will, of course, be graciously accepted.

You may now rise.

How to enjoy a delicious Kitten™ brand Push-Up treat!

Step 1: Wrap your Kitten Push-Up in a towel, this is going to be messy.



Step 2: From bottom of Kitten Push-Up, gently push upwards, making sure ears are not caught on towel. Reassure Push-Up that everything is OK.

Step 3: If Push-Up mews, it's in the correct position. You may gently snorgle! Kitten Push-ups usually only last 3 minutes in this position, so be sure and take a photo.

Frozen yogurt props to Nate T., treat-maker.

Can you find the kitten in this photo 2

'Remington Tire Manshon' was home to a big ole litter behind Nat and his wife's house. As Nat says: "This might qualify for the "sad or cute?" section. But we saved them all [the kittens not the tires, -Ed] so it's not sad, it's cute. When we say sad, we say it like "sa-yad" for extra emphasis."

Tha-anks, Nat and wifey. ;)

File under "A" (FOR ADORABLE)

Debbie H. hates it when she finds kitten Ruby pretending to have a day job. Says Debbie; "She's a real 'Type-A' kitten—always organizing. But come tax time, it's a big help."

He's wearing a tux that says "Hey!" [paw double guns] May I have this dance? No? maybe some other time then?

Colonel Cupcake is wearing Zack Meyers this season.

Rule of Cuteness #14: If an everyday, small item makes you look small, it's cute

Would you just look at the size of that green Post-It?? note next to this kittens' "litter box"? Now, look at the Post-Its?? on your desk—now look at the kitten. Repeat!

Extreme close up!

Is this what a mouse sees seconds before being (licked and) eaten?

Click for an even larger image!

Went the distance, now I'm back on my feet
Just a kitten and his will to surviiiiiiiive!

Huge props to Cori and Melina ;)

Is it wrong to want to SQUEEEEZE a kitten?

Honestly, HOW CAN YOU AVOID IT when the KITTEN LOOKS LIKE THIS? This photo, alertly pointed out by reader Mr. Ben Wolfson, is another fine product of Kittenwar.com. Bless 'em.

This just in: The rare "KittenFrog"

This looks suspiciously Photoshopped, but there is no rule against that, is there? Big props to Michael Eggers, who alertly sent in this photo of the amphibious "KittenFrog", rarely seen with the naked eye.

Must....reach...bat....belt! (collapse)

Don't you know that this kitten used ALL his strength that day just to sit up for this photo—like .02 seconds, before taking one unfocused look at the camera and flopping down again to sleep all day.



Thanks, "Purriwinkle.com"!

Rule of Cuteness #6: Mimic Humans

This image covers many cuteness factors; multiple animals, looking helpless (it would be fun to turn the water on) and mimicking humans. Humans love it! I mean, half of America's Funniest Home videos is based on animals mimicking humans (the only two things better is suddenly scared people falling down or a surprise hit to the groin).

Staring contest

This is the sound of your brain melting—a fondue caused by a Sears Portrait Studio heathered grey background and the cutest flop-eared helpless kitten ever. Full use of the "Pathetic" camera angle for extra effect. Extra points for the glossy eyes. Look away!

Puh-lease!

Someone please tell me what GENIUS put *this* photo shoot together. Look at all the factors here: you've got FOUR helpless baby animals, many of whom will gladly kill each other once grown, a Hallmark-riffic background, a "conversation" of sorts, lead by a gerbil-like thing. What could he possibly be saying to the others? "I'm the cutest, but my beady eyes are a drawback in this contest?" Simply stunning! Major props.

Moments later, the mouse's tail was seen dangling out of the cat's mouth

But for now, aren't they cute? Former foes, having a tender, whisker-entangled moment. High BEF on the mouse.

Rule of Cuteness #4: more than one species of baby flopping around is cute

The color coordination is irresistible, and the low-down camera angle just accentuates the fact they are not much larger than the blades of grass they sit on. *But* I give them an 8.5—no paws are up, and there is the BEF on the bunny (Beady eye factor)

Checkstand dream

Can you imagine there is a sale on kittens in aisle 3? They're organic! You might have to scoop one up. Do you think there is some Nyquil in there with him?
