Signs That Cute Overload Owns Your Soul

I speak from experience.

You carry a digital camera with you on that job through the woods just in case you come across a family of squirrels.

You get mad at "Scrabulous" when it tells you that "tailio" isn't a word.

You refer to a grouchy colleague as "Winston" (or "McGrumpersons").

You have begun to use the word "bleen" in exchange for curse words.

You meet a guy named Mike, and you wonder if he's Not That Mike the Other Mike.

Every time you see a Japanese person, you bend over and say "Go ahead, I'm not asking, I'm telling," Artie Fufkin-style.

You consider the logic of mailing Berthaservant a marmie kitten.

To get someone's goat, you keep saying "Pa-sickie."

Your co-workers have begun to refer to you as "Squee."

You tell friends that while you can appreciate ICHC, ultimately you consider LOLcats brash and unsubtle.

You have considered forming a 527 political group to either promote or oppose the category of Cats-n-Racks.

You have a dream that you meet momof2kitties, and she it turns out that she actually did give birth to kittens.

When someone says something that confuses you, you tilt your head and say "Baroo?"

Instead of getting up and getting the remote control, you playfully stay put and reach for it saying "ehn!"

You name the spiders nesting in your balcony eaves "Meg" and "Teho."

Absolutely perfect! As a CO addict, I can attest that you've described my downward spiral into incomprehensibility. Bravo! (And very, very funny.)

What I want to know is whether or not your Meg and Teho can spell "SOME PIG" and "RADIANT" in their under-eave web weave.

Oh, and you clearly need bleen therapy. Fortunately, I have just the thing: http://www.cafepress.com/puddinghockey

w00t!! I made the blog!! w00t!!

No, I did not actually give birth to my two fur people. But, I am alone in my office cackling like a crazy person!!! BerthaS FTW!! Again. You totally have me nailed. Guilty as charged.

If I find an orphaned marmie kitling whilst on vacation I'm bringing it to you in person.

LMAO!!!!

1. I have actually looked at co-workers, tilted my head and said "Baroo?" when they ask me stupid questions.

2. My husband can attest that I say "Ehn" constantly. I think it's starting to scare him.

3. I'm afraid of spiders, but I did start calling the black and white kitteh hanging out in my garden Meg (because kitteh is wearing what looks like a pink collar with a heart shaped id tag, so is a girly)

4. I paused in a store on my way home from work today, and asked the clerk, after rooting unsuccessfully in the freezer, if they had a Nana Pa-sickie.

I totally agree with you on the "Baroo?" and "ehn!"

[binky-mama]

OK I have one to add...
You can't walk into a room with a piano without moaning "Ohhhh Don Piaaaaaaaa-no".

While I'm not admitting to anything, one could add to the list cyberstalking certain CO regulars. *cough cough*.

My favorite from this list is, referring to grumpy co-workers as "Winston". I'm going to adopt that one strait away.

Talking about addiction to CO is just too embarrassing for me, I'm going back into denial. Baroo? *head tilt*.

[Kimski]

LMAO

I eyes ya binky-mama.

Not only do I do the "Baroo?" and "Ehn," I have my boyfriend doing them too. Plus I instruct my chinchilla "Paws up!" (she looks at me quizzically, on the occasions when she deigns to acknowledge my words). Oddly enough, I have not met anyone named Mike since my pre-CO days. Michael, yes, but no Mike.

[whiskers]

oh, I am totally addicted! Thanks for the laugh.
