    I saw Queen live in 1986. It was Brian May’s birthday!

    Also, “pasickie!!”

    • Ricky & Bibi's Mom February 24, 2020 / 10:26 am

      Saw them live in 1977-78!

      Pasickie!

      • allein 🐾 February 24, 2020 / 10:27 am

        lol…I was still saying “pasickie” in 1977… 😜

    • Julie February 24, 2020 / 2:10 pm

      PASICKIE!! LOL!

    I still feel that way about ice cream…

    Ze Frank needs to do a True Facts About… video for that mouse.

    • Debg February 24, 2020 / 3:30 pm

      My fear of mice escalated by 10 orders of magnitude! Ze Frank would make an astonishingly true video about them.

    What an enviable life Brian May has had – music, astrophysics, and hedgehogs! The mouse howling at the moon is just the greatest – a fearsome 3.5 inch long predator. And Pasickie? Those were the days! But I’m still agin it.

  4. Debg February 24, 2020 / 9:26 am

    Brian May is always awesome.

    Boo seems so intent. That’s why I always put the lid down.

    OMG dogs at work! The puppies from Chile—how could the officers not stare down at them and talk in baby talk?

    Saving other links for lunch. Monday is off to a poor start because my work computer won’t boot up.

      Re: Dogs at Work

      I wish to be greeted by a happy Husky every morning when I come in.

  5. AJ February 24, 2020 / 9:36 am

    Dogs at work – can’t decide which is my favorite. The happy husky in a tutu!!! Definitely in the top 5 along with Chile canine unit, bring your dog to work and you’re a canine unit (I’m thinking that’s a stuffie??? It’s so small it can’t be real, I hope.), and inducting the newest police dog.

    Ok, what’s with pasickie? Are you talking about that lovely Polish pastry eaten right before Lent or is there some other meaning I’m missing.

    And that kitty in the toilet! Yeah, equal time for the splashing cats of the world but reminded me of a racoon washing his food.

    • allein 🐾 February 24, 2020 / 9:41 am

      It refers to a controversial post at the old ranch that featured [gasp!] a baby human! (I actually don’t recall the specific post, I just remember the later references to it). I believe “pasickie” was the baby’s attempt at the word popsicle.

      • Not That Mike The Other Mike February 24, 2020 / 9:50 am

        Yes, it was a baby trying to say “popsicle.” I’ll see if I can find it in the Internet Archive.

            The cabinet door handles look like googly eyes…

            • Andrew February 24, 2020 / 12:31 pm

              Cannot unsee the googly eyes XD

              • Ricky & Bibi's Mom February 24, 2020 / 4:32 pm

                I KNOW! Just noticed them for the very first time after I posted the video. Not only that, they seem to have Worried Eyebrows! Aaaaaaaagggggghhh!

          • Lucy'sMom February 24, 2020 / 11:32 am

            I could watch that every day for the rest of my life and never get tired of it. That kid is (almost) as cute as a puppy! 😅🐕 🐶

            • fkaWaldenPond February 24, 2020 / 2:55 pm

              Hey, I generally prefer animal cuteness but even I agree, pawsickie baby is awfully cute….and btw, no one laughs agreeably and lovingly when I do that with my ice cream. sheesh

      • Catwhisperer February 24, 2020 / 10:48 am

        Yes, the controversy being whether or not cute human babies could be included, or if only cute animals should be allowed.

        • Debg February 24, 2020 / 3:31 pm

          I believe it was the violentest commentroversy ever at the old ranch.

          • dubravkamcvmd February 24, 2020 / 4:18 pm

            That’s the way I remember it.

            • Ricky & Bibi's Mom February 24, 2020 / 4:34 pm

              I’m truly glad I discovered CO after all that. I quite like babies, as a rule. I call them Human Puppies. And amazingly enough, most of the time their parents get the joke. 🙂

              • dubravkamcvmd February 24, 2020 / 7:08 pm

                It (the Pasickie commentroversy) wasn’t terrible at all.

      • AJ February 24, 2020 / 11:15 am

        OK, thanks for the heads up. Hope I don’t start something. I must say though, my first thought when seeing the baby and ice cream was huh, I thought this page was for 4-legged cuteness. But hey, cuteness is cuteness no matter human or animal kingdom.

        • Duckie 🐥 February 24, 2020 / 11:41 am

          But what about all the cute baby birds? And spider paws and baby octo-pawses and squidlings and fish?

          • Alice Shortcake February 24, 2020 / 12:19 pm

            Spider paws are adorable. The rest of the spider – not so much.

            • Duckie 🐥 February 24, 2020 / 12:44 pm

              Not even this one?

              • Emsthemonster February 24, 2020 / 12:47 pm

                Aw Duckie, thanks for this find. Tabby spiders are the most adorable of all.

                • Alice Shortcake February 24, 2020 / 2:56 pm

                  I dread to think of the size of their webs…

              • Ricky & Bibi's Mom February 24, 2020 / 4:35 pm

                Holy cats, Duckie, that’s amazing!

          • N. Fritz February 24, 2020 / 1:43 pm

            and don’t forget the axolotls!

            • Ricky & Bibi's Mom February 24, 2020 / 4:36 pm

              I LOVE axolotls! I would never forget them.

  6. Lucy'sMom February 24, 2020 / 10:11 am

    The return of “pasickie!!!” And the Dogs at Work – is there anything dogs can’t/don’t do to enrich our lives? The answer is “no.” 🥰❤

  7. CaseyHamilton February 24, 2020 / 12:34 pm

    I would have really enjoyed looking at the dogs with jobs link, but Pleated Jeans would not allow me to see them, saying that I was running an ad blocker, when I was actually not running an ad blocker. It’s no fun having links to things that will not allow me to look at them.

      • Ricky & Bibi's Mom February 24, 2020 / 4:40 pm

        FWIW, my browser of choice is Brave, and Brave’s default setting is ad-blocking. But I could still see the Pleated Jeans link. And it was awfully cute—CaseyHamilton, I hope you can get in somehow!

    • N. Fritz February 24, 2020 / 1:47 pm

      pleated jeans is notorious for their ads (just in the past couple of days they’ve returned to being obnoxious)… but the content is pretty good and seems to be improving. My particular favorites are Tumblr Gets Deep on Thursdays, and Self-Care Sunday.

  8. Emsthemonster February 24, 2020 / 12:46 pm

    I admit I prefer furry/feathery kids to lil’ humans.

    I love Brian May’s beautiful white hair and the hardcore mice as well.

    • Ricky & Bibi's Mom February 24, 2020 / 4:42 pm

      Just remember, Brian May was once a li’l human.

      Boggles the mind, doesn’t it?

      He really is pretty cool.

      Also, on a complete tangent, I think “The Hedgie-Gro Difference” was when I fell in love with NTMTOM.

  9. Julie February 24, 2020 / 2:12 pm

    I’m so happy that so many people remembered the PASICKIE post. As I recall, the controversy garnered hundred of comments. It was hilarious!!

    • Kar February 24, 2020 / 6:46 pm

      I think the one that took the cake, so to speak, was the baby nomming on the kitten tail. We were way beyond clutching pearls on that one.

      I expected my monitor to bleed from the language

      • dubravkamcvmd February 24, 2020 / 7:15 pm

        Oh my. I missed that one. Probably just as well. I was not really a commenter and did not (mostly) read the comments. After the end I went back to the beginning and saw that I had started reading within a month or two of the beginning and stuck with it to the end.I still have my world peace hamster T shirt.

    Speaking of giggling babies…

  12. Robert M. February 25, 2020 / 6:19 am

    No love for the hamster cheeks? Not even the little (guy?) pouching an entire whole baby corn?…
