This was an actual movie -- I guess that word doesn't have the same meaning in India












He's such a fan, not even being extinct could stop him from attending the show

Dinosaur (sauropod) fossil leg -- yes, they were that big

Is this the Satanist flag or something?  Pretty cool design, whatever it is

  1. Love them all. The boat one made me spew my coffee. You always find such great funnies.

    Thank you for joining the Happy Tuesday Blog Hop.

    Have a fabulous Happy Tuesday. ♥

  2. Manatees are so sweet.
    I seriously thought that truck that had the accident was going to flip over and transform like in the Transformers movie. LOL

    The guy jumping on the table made me laugh. I watched it three times before I even saw the guy in the back try to land on it and fall to the floor.

    Thank you for including one of my pictures.

    I don't think I would try to ride a shark but I might try to pet one...that had no teeth.

    I know dinosaurs were big but it's crazy to think something that big was walking around where I live a long time ago.

  3. I checked, the Satanic website doesn't show it. I'd fly it proudly because it's really cool looking and just to piss off the christian right. The dog getting scared in the water was a gas. Loved all of these

  4. Sandee: I couldn't believe how that forklift driver with the boat just made one blunder after another.

    Mary K: I've heard that manatee sightings are where the stories of mermaids originated. Sailors back then must have had very poor eyesight.

    I can't believe that idiot thought the table would survive being jumped on like that. I guess he was removing it because it was busted. The second idiot would probably have gone right through it and hit the floor anyway.

    That was a great picture of the Sun through the smoky air.

    It's lucky sauropods didn't survive down to the human era. They would have been terrifying.

    Leanna: It's certainly better than the "Christian flag" they've come up with, which is just all white with a cross in one corner -- easily mistaken for a white flag of surrender.

    Phat: I think that's Medusa's mixed-race daughter -- only two serpents and a lot of normal hair.

    I appreciate the comments, as always.

  5. Another fun line-up. Favorites include the typewriter key bird, the flag, the dinosaur leg (holy moly), and the gorilla face. The latter reminded me of an informal survey in which 8% of Americans said they believed they could take down a gorilla in hand to hand combat. I have to believe that 100% of the 8% were men. Just sayin…

  6. Thanks! I thought the bird was an interesting concept. The sheer size of sauropods is mind-boggling -- they would have dwarfed even elephants.

    I think that all of those 8% consisted of men who know nothing about gorillas. It would be entertaining, if brief and a bit messy, to see them actually try to fight one.

  7. What a terrific collection! It was a pleasure perusing them.
