Picture This!

Hey I finally got a dumb joke published on a big popular site, and even though I didn’t win their stupid boring book (note to OHINY: jk) they did post a link to my site so I figured I’d best do something here to make it less unfunny and a bit gigglier.  So: Here’s some pictures from some books I’ve been reading a lot lately to the 2-year-old.  My question: are these educational, and if so, what lesson is being taught?

From, “New Tricks I Can Do,” the heartwarming tale of a fired circus freak:

I, for one, am delighted that the giant polychromatic dog can go all gay and spread his legs for us like a Playgirl model from 1977 with a stunted imagination.  Do that trick, rainbow dog!  Do it like the freak you are!

Then there’s this image from one of my childhood faves, The Teddy Bear Coalman:

I have seen people make this signal before.  And they weren’t asking the adorable plush omnivore to bring them more fuel.  Not in the traditional sense, anyway.  “Two bags full,” indeed.

So, if you’re visiting from OHINY, thanks for stopping by and I hope these images secure me in your mind as an incisive yet hi-larious commentator on, um, dumb stuff and funny pictures.  Because that is why Al Gore invented global warming.  Now go be productive, or something.  One of us had better and it sure doesn’t look like it’s going to be me. 

okay. you gotta talk to me like i’m two cuz i’m not getting it. where’s the joke??

also, that first picture is scary. FYI.

yeah, that rainbow dog haunts my dreams.... and not in the good way.

The joke?  Where is it?  Did you go to OHINY and scroll down to the most recent entry that has a bunch of alternate headlines underneath it?  It’s about some homeless dude with cigarettes.  I wrote the “runner up” version with the hyperlink “dan.” It’s not much of a joke; it’s really one of the weaker submissions I’ve sent to them but I guess it was slim pickin’s.  (apostrophe denotes truncation, not possessive nor elision.)
