One of my goals in life is to get something on Cute Overload. I've been turned down once, so here's my second attempt... Hedgehogs with tubes on their heads:
(These were filmed at the KC Pet Expo earlier this month.)

Forget the nerdy reputation that debate has. Instead think of a scenario as exciting as a sports game with high stakes like triumphing over racism. bad politics and abject poverty... An important, thoughtful and provocative look at race and class in America.
- The Boston Globe
Joe Miller's enthusiasm is infectious and the plot creates the suspense of a good courtroom thriller.
- Entertainment Weekly
The minute I finished Joe Miller's Cross-X, I held the book out in front of me -- amazed, rapturous, and hopeful... Miller's mesmerizing, vivid accounts of the debates will leave you crouched in your seat, holding your breath... An incredibly powerful, daringly hopeful book.
- Minneapolis Star-Tribune
Irresistible... Miller begins breezily but is soon deeply invested in the Central squad's mission to not only master the debate game on its own terms but revolutionize it with flashes of poetry and hip-hop wordplay... If all these kids could run things, Miller implies, imagine what could get done.

I have to confess that I watched them for a while at the pet expo and thought they were hilarious. Very cute. The thought never crossed my mind to own a hedge hog but I wanted one after seeing them there. Too funny.
I was at the expo and saw them - way cute!
I thought I was the only one that visited cuteoverload! When you are peeved, there's nothing like a little bun-bun's tiny foot dangling. See, cuteoverload even makes you start writing things like "bun-bun" instead of "baby rabbit."
Just get a closeup of one of your hedgehogs holding a piece of lettuce in his wee hands and nibbling on it. Cuteoverload won't be able to turn you down then.
