My first thought was, "oh wow, baby gringos are adorable!"

Then, "wait, what?"

I just should not be allowed on the Internets before properly caffeinating myself.

I'm kind of enjoying the glimpse of claw. Like: "Fine, squish us now. But we know where you live, sister."

Nice accessories, Fraulein! I like how you chose baby animals with eyes that perfectly match your t-shirt; now if you could just train them to perch on your shoulders so we could see your pretty face better, you'd really be red carpet ready!

Oh my god - they look so much like my kitty! Except that he's grey, and would manage to look far more annoyed if I carried him like that.

It was only a few years ago I learned that pumas, panthers, mountain lions and cougars are all the same thing.

@mbprice: I just learned that reading this. Is that true? They're different sizes and colors and from different parts of the world.

@mbprice: It's kind of crazy. I'm just going to start calling women who go after younger men "mountain lions" just to confuse people.

@Snowbunny: pumas, mountain lions, and cougars ARE all the same. they have a million names for that damn cat, all of which are used interchangeably. panther is used to refer to a few different species of cat, but in gringo speak, usually refers to a mountain lion.

how do i know this? i did my animal report on them in fourth grade... NERRRD!

I can't believe they're wearing fur. Does PETA know about this?

Wait, what?! A Gringo? They have gringos in Germany? I didn't know that there were enough Mexicans/Latin Americans there for "gringo" to be a thing.

And, speaking of Germany and white people, can we work the word "gringo" in when discussing Hitler's idea of the master race? Because that lends an appropriate amount of absurdity to an absurd idea.

@morninggloria: It is my understanding that Hitler, also known as "El Jefe" by the locals, wanted to build a race of "ubergringos" who would boss everyone around and get the best women.

@Lolly: Well, you know, Godwin's Law and all that.

@morninggloria: I think "uber" gives just that necessary German twang to it, frankly. I would think that ubergringos would come riding in on dachshunds, don't you? Eating apple pie and schnitzel.

@Uncommon Whore: If Hitler is El Guapo, then who would be Jefe? Mussolini? I wonder if he'd know what a plethora was.
