FOTOSHOP (OR MSPAINT) PHRIDAY

OK, your assignment for Friday (or this weekend, sometime), is a combination of Something Awful's Photoshop Phriday and something Steve (I think) mentioned once...

Your assignment is to Photoshop (or MS Paint, if you are PS-deficient) a new, humorous caption for the following Family Circus cartoon, which was chosen at random:



Bon chance..

I'm sure, being as it is that we're all huge dorks, that we're all aware of this by now..but just to be sure...

Conservative Sock Monkey

I added the Waypath Buzz Maker to the template of this blog. (Scroll all the way to the bottom.)

It will track the five most important things to each of us, and how often it is discussed on the web. Rawk is apparently much more important than Bolivian Elections. There are more options, and more tools ("Related Stuff!") but this looks like a service that won't even be in existence by November...

Black People Love Us!

I came across this site (Black People Love Us!) because I wanted to see if a web search for "Black People" still leads to an eBay sponsored link. (It does by the way, mentioning antiques and collectibles, no where near as bad as it used to be.)

This site is almost perfect, except for one naughty testimonial. (I am warning you.) From the letters, it is amazing that many people don't understand satire. What's worse are the people that have to send them a letter saying "I get it, this is satire." Maybe it is even worse that I have to tell you that it is satire.

This should be required reading for white people, and conservative punk rock bands.

(If that bored you, try this: Saddam's Rock, Paper, and Scissors. Did you know that the blogger's built-in spell-check doesn't know the word "blog?")

Actually, the website from which that second image comes is worth a link in and of itself.

Bedanged if I can tell what it's all about. Especially good is the Family Indigestion Cookbook.

Mmmmmmmmmm....Molded Pork Loaf....

I am SO making that the next time we have Abbie over for dinner.

For those interested, a GIS (Google Image Search) for 'monkey' gives the following as the 2nd result:



Isn't that the tenderest thing you've ever seen?

One of the other results features 3 words that would make a great band or album name:



G-Had: Blogger is emailing me when there are comments to this blog. You can only enter one email address to be informed re: comments. Perhaps there is a way we could use one central email account, and forwarding, to allow all members to receive an email when comments are made? (I could probably figure it out, but I'm feeling lazy)

For those hot summer days......

"Raw Horseflesh Ice Cream".... In the words of my brother, Phil, "anything else i could write here would be irrelevant."

Fine, take the month off, see you in August...

Google Search: classic donkey art

And let this inspire you:
Bruddah Iz!   ...not!
