Okay staff, we’ve been hired by the anti-government faction over in Yemen to get some publicity for their cause.
It seems that what with Bahrain and Egypt and Libya and all, nobody is even paying attention to the poor protesters in Yemen.
So, let’s brainstorm this thing. Who’s got some ideas? Lamar?
Yeah, Boss. I was thinking, what if they were to goof it up a little in their protests?
You know, bring in some really weird people, to get the media to notice them.
How goofy would it have to get, Lamar?
I’m just thinking out loud here, Boss, but if they could do stuff like have protesters make bug-eyed funny faces at the camera.
I think it would have to be a little goofier than that, Lamar, this is 2011, and Donald Trump may be running for president.
Okay, well, what if some of them scotch-taped big loaves of bread to their ears?
Now THAT’S goofy, Lamar! I like it! That could even get us into that moronic Odd Blog you’re always reading. What else have you got?
Uh, they could give big knives to small children.
That’s brilliant! Kids with daggers! Who wouldn’t love to see that? This is great stuff, Lamar! You’ve outdone yourself!
Jeez, thanks, Boss, but I haven’t even got to the part about the snake-biters yet….

Now what did that poor snake do to deserve getting bitten? Ah, the cruelty. So Lamar is advocating a night of the long/young knives?
Quite like the dagger, just dont want it in kids’ hands…
And why on earth would you want to bite into a snake???
Unless, the snake symbolises the current government and the protestor biting into it symbolises the desire to prey on it?
Jeez, I need more doughnuts!!!!!! Stat!
4th Picture, that’s another creation by Kazhakstan’s Kenje designer…

“Ohhhh look at all the pieces of cake I can cut with this thing! I like cake!”
Wow, Shra, I think you need to zap yourself! Symbolism? In the Oddly Enough blog? Really? I’m so confused…
This spaceship ride is a rip-off. We’re going to Pluto. That’s not even a planet anymore.
The fourth picture is actually Harry Potter fifty years from now. As you can see, he’s a little bonkers, and has unintentionally turned that doobie he was smoking into a wicked-scary snake.
Children with daggers
Just another OE blog
with Lamar in charge
@Sara: Nice one!
Let’s see: Knives, hot dog buns, snakes… Maybe they’re all getting together for the annual snake BBQ? They’ve got all the fixings!
Hope you brought your thermal-insulated towel then Mr. B. or you are gonna experience some major shrinkage. Pluto is coooooold.
Next week is National Doughnut Week in the UK…
Quickly alert PESTO!
(People for ethical snake treatment Organization) for
un-sanitary conditons in that guys mouth geesh it looks like he came from BG’s space training.
Thanks for the heads-up CG… donuts for breakfast every morning…. ummmm
@Crowgirl – does this mean we can look forward to all manner of Kate and Wills-themed doughnutty treats?
How about the Olympic rings all done in doughnuts? With sprinkles in the appropriate colours on top?
Or maybe someone could come up with the English equivalent of the Luther Burger, and create a Full English Breakfast Burger? The Full Monty Burger.
One can but dream.
Nosmo and Crow: Would the Full Monty Burger come with nice buns?
Reminder to self to stop at one glass of wine…
Uh oh… glad One wasnt in Sanaa when on wine.. that man with the buns may not have been safe.
Nosmo, Olympic donuts have got to be better than the 2012 Olympic logo, which looks like Lisa Simpspn doing something that Mr Spam Filter would consider unmentionable…
Haha! That’s hilarious! Nothing makes me laugh harder than the members of a backward ideology flaunting their poor judgement and lack of parenting skills.
