News, but not the serious kind
Darn, I’d forget my blouse if it wasn’t…

Lamar, did you manage to get us some more cut-rate models for the fashion show? I know you’ve saved money in the past by using the criminally insane, the extremely sullen, zombies….
This time I have a real good feeling, boss. My shrink gave me some names of women in his Forgetful and Absent-Minded Therapy Group, and they look pretty presentable.
So? How does that help us, Lamar?
Don’t you get it, Boss? They do the fashion show for us, they immediately forget about it, and we don’t pay them anything!
I don’t know about that, Lamar.
Trust me, Boss, look, the show is starting now. Oops, I guess that first one absent-mindedly forgot to stop zipping up before she covered her face…
Lamar! That next one totally forgot to put on her blouse!
Boss, we can fix that with one of those salmon-colored rectangles….
This is a complete disaster, Lamar! At the rate they’re going, the next model will be wearing her dress backwards!
Oh, don’t be such a drama queen, Boss! What are the chances of that?

How very generous of the salmon-bar designers to only cover a small bit of t..!! Nice trousers.
Oh and one more thing – is that model in the last pic with her back to the photographer, or is that the elephant man?

@Malteser, dunno if the salmon-bar designers are being s generous considering there is only a small bit to have to cover.
That dude in the first pic looks like a rejected anime character. And yes, it’s a dude.
Really Spin??? Hey, can we get her to sing, “My Heart Will Go On”??
(laughing devilishly coz she knows this song is gonna be stuck in someone’s head for the rest of the day)…
It’s about time Chia pets get the fashion choices they deserve!
Be nice to have that outfit in the top photo for when I get up in the morning…
You just know that the second one is thinking “I’m gonna go hermatile on the next one that wolf whistles!”
Isn’t #3 Hulga Fekrat? I’d recognize those calves anywhere!
BTW, I’ve found the next sensation for the Doughnut Shoppe: http://www.wikihow.com/Make-Doughnut-Muf fins. Even more room for the Xanax sprinkles!
I give the designer credit for incorporating a salmon-colored rectangle into the design of the coat.
@Malt – yeah, those are not exactly shapely calves she’s sporting.
At least Lamar didn’t get the models from Krasnoyarsk this time…
@Spin, you sure it’s not “seen hair” as in “seen better days”?
@Jazz, I am gonna have to look up “hermatile” when I get home. Sounds like a fun word to use around the office.
Ok, I admit I looked up “hermatile”. But you can’t zap me, Shra, because it’s not in my fat dictionary, so I learned nuttin’. Still want to know what it means, though.
According to the Urban Dictionary:
Acting disproportionately crazy to a situation; running amok and generally reacting badly
Percival went hermatile when his tuna sandwich came up missing from the snack room refrigerator and had to be sedated and take a paid day off.
@ifly, I’d be happy to explain it to you, but Shra seems to be kinda zap-happy today…
The dude in the first photo is from the Bazooka Joe comics. I know, most of this crowd is much to young to remember…
The model in photo 2 is dressed for comfort.
The model in photo 3 has me wondering if anyone will notice if I wear my dress backwards. While it would be like having two outfits for the price of one, I’m not sure I could move my arms freely. It would become a formal straight jacket. Hmmmm….
Or too young, if I were typing correctly. Darn straight jacket!
(Sung to the tune of Zippity Doo Dah)
Zappity doo day, zappity day.
If you learn something
Well you’d better not say
Zappity doo dah, zappity day.
There’s a doughnut waiting for you
It’s so freah
With sprinkles
A smile will soon replace frown wrinkles.
Zappity doo dah
Zappity day
I may have learned something
Zappity daDAY! Ouch…
BG, your turn to be zapppped!!!
You were literally begging for it, werent you???
#3 has me wondering. Is she wearing a blouse backwards, or is she wearing two of them buttoned side-to-side? Only way to know is to see the front. RB, do you think you can ask Lamar for an extra shot?
Onedoor, absolutely brilliant. The comment of the week.
Shra, I tricked you. I bought a Williams-Sonoma Home Zap Guard yesterday, $299.99….
Where’s my comment? Damn I don’t even remember what I wrote! LOL
Can Pervical really be blamed though? Come on it was a tuna sammich!
That’s my sister! She’s at that age where she’s rebelling against everything. Wearing clothes backwards, eating funny doughnuts, anything to attract attention. Wait til Mom’s sees this!
That Lamar! I know he was only trying to save money, but he really shouldn’t have taken the lightbulbs out of the dressing rooms.
Just look at that poor second model – she looks REALLY unhappy at not being fully dressed, and as for the third one, how embarrassed is she about not getting the garment on the right way round?
The poor things all need a doughnut and a grope, err group, hug.
You forget BG, nothing, absolutely nothing can protect you from my zap!
No, not even that Spin… I have had it up until here (way above her head) with word play!
