News, but not the serious kind
Overdressed on Underwear Day?
Blog Guy, I understand yesterday was some kind of national holiday in Brazil. You usually keep us up on stuff like that.
Sorry. Yes, it was Brazil Underwear Day, so they all went around in bras and panties and lingerie.
Wow! That must seem very odd, huh?
Raise your hand if you could use a drink!
I have to wonder what’s really going on here. The caption says these are U.S. Marines watching as a dude from the Thai Navy catches a cobra with his bare hands during a “jungle survival exercise,” but look at them. They’re chuckling and taking photos!
Is there some part of “jungle survival exercise” that seems to confuse them? Do they think this is just a Thai ventriloquist act?
Have these guys been led to believe that if they’re a polite audience, they’ll get to go to the swim-up bar for coconut rum drinks and satay?
Oscars for the arty Havarti movie?
Looking through our photo files, I keep seeing pictures of people wearing special glasses. I should check that out.
Where have you been, Blog Guy? They’re watching “Avatar” in 3D. It’s a blockbuster Oscars contender!
A film about a semi-soft Danish cheese? I hate subtitles.
No, you big imbecile, the cheese is Havarti, which would be different. This is “AVATAR.”
What does intrigue me is why Ahmadinejad’s glasses are cooler than the ones the rest of the spectators are using. Does he get privileges for being a President?
Come back with my money, Supergirl!
Hey Blog Guy, you haven’t written much lately about the Goofy Face Museum and Doughnut Shop, which I know is your pride and joy. Got any new exhibits coming up?
As a matter of fact, yes. We’ve been in delicate and costly negotiations for weeks, to get a goofy-face shot of that British skier, Chemmy Alcott, ahead of the Winter Olympics. Here it is, for the first time ever!
Um, not to complain or anything, but that’s not a very goofy face.
Look, she’s a skier, not a weight-lifter or a tennis player. She’s doing her very best to look silly here, so cut her some slack. It took a two-day photo shoot just to come up with this one.
It is, I believe, called being enigmatic. (I had to look that one up! But, there.. I did it: my big word of the day!)
PilotGuy, I am with you on this. Either some more fiber or some mild laxatives at night, just before going to bed. Probably not a great idea the night before the big final game, to avoid the potential embarrassment.
Topless voters, nothing up their sleeves…
Blog Guy, I notice you provided full coverage of the Costa Rica elections over the weekend, but not the voting in Ukraine. How about some news from there?
Sure, okay. From looking quickly through our photo file, I guess people voted.
Is that one of those places where they put blue ink on your finger, to make sure you don’t vote twice?
No, it seems their system is, you take your shirt off when you vote, so you can’t vote twice. I believe it’s the voting system Hugh Hefner designed.
I am glad to see that, as duly required in this family-oriented blog, indecent exposure is decently covered by a purely, virginally white band. I believe that is proper equilibrium.
Perhaps not?
Get closer to the bricks, Honey, and pout a little….
Blog Guy, I have a photography question for you.
Well you know, we do have a very cool photography blog.
Yeah, but I really trust your hard-hitting, reliable information. So my question is, let’s say you had a bricked-up spot where an ATM used to be, and you wanted to get a photo of it.
I want to extend the warmest of welcomes to all the new recr… inma… commentators.
I trust that by now you’re all settled in with your doughnuts and meddies, your white hats, your shoes and your bowls of soup. I think the we can begin.
That’s gonna hurt coming off…
What a frickin’ crap-fest of a day day this is!
Here I am, sittin’ outside under the bananas, peeling green beans! I hope my friends don’t see me. Could it get any worse?
Say, who are those goofballs coming up the street?
PilotGuy, now you’ve gone and broken poor Shra’s heart by promising to come and not making good on it. Now she’ll od on fried beets and plantains and sugar, and it’s all you fault!
If I were you, I’d start swimming right about now and hope the sharks and the snow-storms don’t slow you down too much.
(How’s that for laying guilt in somebody’s doorstep?)
Jeez officer, just THROW your gun at the target!
Welcome back to another installment of our regular feature, “Stuff Maybe we Should have Explained in the Caption, but Didn’t.” We are told these officers are holding targets during a demonstration to demand “more resources to combat violence…”
Resources? What kind of resources?
Better training? It looks like not a single one of them seems to be able to hit a target. I say fire ‘em all and hire cops who can hit something!
And heeeeeeeeeeeeeere’s Lonnie!
I am not making this up.
“Mr. Basler,” an actual reader writes in, “On behalf of all the Lonnies in the world…could you use another name? I really enjoy your work but it pains me to see my name attributed to people of deficit intelligence.”
The e-mail is signed, of course, “Lonnie.”
Could this reader be right? Is there a chance that totally unaware, I’ve been picking on the proud Lonnies of the world?
Any unhappy workers, raise your hands!
Staff, I like to think of you as my friends, not just the little pissant scumbags I boss around…
I know you’re all wondering…slurp… about this team-building exercise…slurp…
Some of you have said morale is low in my department, though I can’t imagine…slurp…why. Shut the frick up, Lamar, I’ll tell you when to talk.
Shra, I am with you on the hunger… the problem came when I read that “suppository emarks” bit… suddenly I’m not that hungry anymore
But, thanks Dr., you’ve made me discover a new dieting mechanism!!
