Category: Inappropriate Thoughts

So, you may have guessed that I actually stockpile these months in advance. One side effect is that by the time I actually post them, I’ve had time to realize that they’re less funny than I thought.
So here’s a bunch from my backlog that, upon reflection, are not funny…

I was going to make a Face/Off joke here, but it seemed to be in poor taste upon reflection

And here, I was going to make a vibrator joke, but it got exponentially less funny as I thought about the fact that there were children in the picture

And this one, now that I think about it, is total pants.

As is typical, the fact that we’ve hit a BIG ROUND NUMBER merits some sort of celebration. I’m thinking about it.

Mars, on the other hand, is full of nougat.
Oh, and your IT Centennial present is that I didn’t make a “Uranus” joke.

Fear not: for, behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy, which shall be to all people.
For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Saviour, which is Sharko the Lord.

You think this is just a random image tossed up by the googlebot, but it’s actually a prediction of the future. If MSN, Time Warner, or Google acquire livejournal, they’ll be able to form Voltron.

The first and only time anyone will ever be comfortable describing anything Hamas related as “a real Mickey Mouse Affair”

So, I looked at it95 just now (here) and realized that it wasn’t especially funny. So let’s just skip it and move on with our lives, shall we?

HAVING CONSULTED WITH MY COLLEAGUES AND BASED ON THE INFORMATION GATHERED FROM THE NIGERIAN CHAMBERS OF COMMERCE AND INDUSTRY, I HAVE THE PRIVILEGE TO REQUEST FOR YOUR ASSISTANCE TO TRANSFER THE SUM OF 4 FOREIGN OIL WORKERS (FOUR FOREIGN OIL WORKERS ONLY) INTO YOUR ACCOUNTS.
