Since meerkats can't speak for themselves, Manor is a kind of metaphysical Mad Libs, in which fans fill in the blanks with their own morals and worldviews. On Animal Planet's Web forums, they mourned, eulogized and fantasized.

Now you can check in every morning, as I do, with Mark's PageCast, which highlights the day's big political stories. (It's also my way of keeping track of where he is.) The Page exemplifies TIME's tradition...
...Green travels to Harvard Stadium on Saturday coming off of last week’s 37-28 triumph over Columbia, a game in which quarterback Alex Jenny amassed 189 yards and a touchdown. However, the Crimson may not see Jenny under center, as teammate Tom Bennewitz may fill his shoes...
