A tip-o-the-hat to failblog.cheezburger.com for the following picture, which led my mind to the verbal jabs that follow the following picture...ya follow?
You're so ugly...ugly people cover you up with pictures of themselves.
What are you even MADE of? Hot dogs refuse to be put inside you.
You're about as useful as pre-popped bubble wrap.
When you get filled with air and popped...nobody even flinches.
Everything you rhyme with is negative: gag, hag, lag, nag, sag...
Those Fandango ads you star in really blow chunks.
You're so wimpy...you couldn't punch your way out of yourself...even if you were wet.
I've got a great new idea for becoming financially independent. It doesn't demand a lot of physical labor (a top priority for me), nor is it dependent on an ongoing involvement on my part. It's clean, simple, and almost assuredly legal. And I have the following photo to thank for the concept.
I've decided to take that concept and turn it to greater advantage. I'm going to sell my vintage 1977 Marvel Special Edition Star Wars comic book (#1) at the never-before-advertised price of only five million dollars.
Okay, okay, okay...calm down. I know that's a fairly big asking price...but I only need to sell one.
I recently entered the Publishers Clearinghouse "$5,000 a week Forever" sweepstakes. (Hey...give God every available option for testing my ability to handle wealth, right?) One piece of the forest-felling collection of ads and offers and Official Certificates that is part and parcel of a Pub C-House mailing was a flyer ordering me to go online to see if I had won $25,000 instantly. Being the obedient sort, I went to the appropriate website, instantly found that I wasn't an instant winner (shock and awe!) and then was led through a collection of electronic ads and offers and Official Certificates. Of interest is that, online at least, Publishers Clearinghouse actually offers discounted magazine subscriptions. (File that tidbit in the same folder as "MTV played a music video.") One such offer was for Gentleman's Quarterly, commonly referred to as GQ.
I look at that face on that cover and think, "Are you kidding me? Is that supposed to entice me to subscribe? Is that now the standard of rugged handsomeness to which I'm supposed to aspire? Firstly, comb that mop of hair into some semblance of a style, okay? Secondly, get some sleep in an attempt to cure those sunken, baggy eyes. And for the love of everything righteous and true, either grow a beard or shave, you lily-skinned, indecisive mongrel you." By the way, did I mention I just renewed my membership in GROUCH (Global Ranks Of Unedited Curmudgeons & Hacks)?

and already it’s banging in my head! Explanation: I’m co-writing and
co-directing the Dakota Chautauqua this year [Big tent show at the Dakota
County Fair, August 6-12, 2012] and this is the 2nd song I’ve
written for it so far. Eric Peltoniemi will be doing the music for my lyrics,

the chorus, and it decided to inflict itself upon me this morning.)
