But wait, now the baby sloth is smiling at me all cute and sloth-y... and my hormones are, like, shooting all over the place. DAMN YOU FOR MAKING THIS SO HARD.
No, no, no. Chum buckets are full of fish guts, fish heads and the like. Stay with the shark theme. I'm sure you can find a picture of fish guts somewhere like in your office?
Maybe use Unhappy Kitten (the wet one) when you don't have any requests for the week, and the sloth when you do? That sloth is too cute, and wet kitty just looks so sad...
Baby sloths - adorable. Maybe only beat in cuteness by baby tree kangaroos. Are you trying to lure in queriers with cuteness, only to eviscerate them shark-style? "I thought she'd be nice, she has a baby sloth on her site."
I vote for Unhappy Kitty. It has that hint of warning - you may not like what happens to you here, but you'll come out a better kitty. Angry and bitter, maybe, but better.
The baby sloth is my first choice as the "I-am-the-cutest-sloth-EVER" expression should resonate with those swimming around in the Chum Bucket ("I-am-your-next-writer!").
Besides, the white towels slung across the bucket rim work on a whole other level, as well...
Sloths don't get no lovin' like polar bears & kittens do. When was the last time you cuddled a sloth or saw a stuffed sloth in the department store? Huh? Ya. That's what I thought. Poor little thing.
Oh yeah. Wet kitten or sloth, defs. Love! :D Methinks this bodes well for the survival of the Chum Bucket, with the picking of an "official" logo and all! :D
Hey wait. What do any of those pictures have to do with a bucket of rotten fish guts? Are they supposed to be shark food? You know...you can get really sick from eating baby sloth. Causes 'lazy' eye, projectile hesitation and slow movements.
I was too late to vote, moving like a sloth. Great choice but the polar bear would have been my pick because his face is hidden, like a real chum in a bucket. I'm happy to be following your blog again. Writing again.

Baby Sloth! Definitely baby sloth.
ReplyDeleteOr maybe wet kitten. But I like the sloth.
Oh man. I am so torn between the sloth and the wet kitty. I might have to go with the cat, because I like his attitude. I think he gets me.
ReplyDeleteBut wait, now the baby sloth is smiling at me all cute and sloth-y... and my hormones are, like, shooting all over the place. DAMN YOU FOR MAKING THIS SO HARD.
ReplyDeleteOmg sardonic kitten...
ReplyDeleteBut you should go big time and get a custom logo!

If we go with the sloth, we have to have Kristen Bell introduce it and it should be auto-tuned.
ReplyDeleteAnd in case anyone somehow missed Kristen Bell's love of sloths on the Ellen show...

soooooo worth it.
Oh, so difficult. In the end, I have to go with baby sloth, but only barely.
ReplyDeleteWell, of these I'd go for "sardonic kitty," but it really ought to be Megalodon
ReplyDeleteI'm torn between the Sardonic Kitten and Baby Sloth. Might I suggest a chum-bucket duo? That would be chum-my, wouldn't it?
ReplyDeleteWhat about taking turns? Every month another logo ... if not: Baby Sloth.
ReplyDeleteYou had me at "Baby Sloth."
ReplyDeleteHe loves bein' in the chum bucket, too. Just look at that face!
Wet Kitty or Polar Bear
ReplyDeleteBut somehow I had in mind a bunch of human legs and arms sticking out of a bucket......
No, no, no. Chum buckets are full of fish guts, fish heads and the like. Stay with the shark theme. I'm sure you can find a picture of fish guts somewhere like in your office?
ReplyDeleteSomething like this seems more your style:

polar bear! (it's the only eating anything)
ReplyDeleteWhy would anyone want to throw any of these cute creatures to the sharks?
ReplyDeleteEither the sloth or the first adorable kitten. :D
ReplyDeleteHow about a bucket full of adverbs instead??
ReplyDeleteBut if I have to choose, I'd go with the sloth.
Sardonic kitten all the way.

It was wet kitten until I saw the sloth. Then AWWWWWWWW. :)
ReplyDeleteUnhappy wet kitty for me!
ReplyDeleteBaby sloth looks a bit sinister in my view. Loojk at his left eye and that half smile...he's plotting.
Baby sloth because I'm feeeeeeeeling kind of sloooow today.
ReplyDeleteGahhhhhh baby sloth!!
ReplyDeleteI HAVE to vote for the polar bear!
ReplyDeleteIt's gotta be the polar bear. I mean, look at that tenacity--it's almost Sharkish.
ReplyDeleteMake sure you all vote in the poll on the upper left side of the blog. The comments don't count as votes!
ReplyDeleteI seriously think you need to go with the Megalodon... these others are waaaay too cute.
ReplyDeleteBABY SLOTH!

No actual chum? Disappointed.

Team Baby Sloth takes it by 10 votes.
ReplyDeleteYAY! BABY SLOTH WINS!
