I give it a 10, a fvcking 10!
This is funny! I actually laughed, and today…that is a major accomplishment.
I concur……. no where’s his hos!!!
I’m back, I laughed, time to get NAKED!!
Good or Bad? Nucky got a new job?
Won’t know for a bit…..I think it went well.
Your avatar… it makes me hawt…
YOUR avatar…. it makes me hawt.
Got a thing for flaming c’s?
I like them boys from Calgary… And Toronto for that matter… but shhhh don’t tell Rando.
Heehee, thanks Max, it’ll be our secret.
*wraps naked nucky up in his hero cape*
Did somebody say Oral Day?”
Yes, indeed, my thunder god, prepare to be blown away.
*lightning begins to crackle real hard*
I’m so glad I didn’t get metal fillings…..
Fancy-smancy socialized health care…. *mutter mutter*
Ahem, Mabs, dental work is not paid for. Do you want me to go frothy on you?
I know. *pouts* Spoiling my joke with your pesky facts.
Heehee….sorry
Ph, I’ve got an update on the interview – too much cleavage…..WTF? It’s not even a low cut blouse!
Turtlenecks for you, my dear!
Now I wonder what’s too much? I mean, anything short of a turtleneck and I have cleavage (unless I stop breathing). *turns blue and passes out*
Oh god… MABS!
*gives mouth to mouth*
Breathe dammit! Breathe!
Uh oh. I think that’s Mr. Mabs behind you.
Then for the love of God, don’t stop breathing!!!
Run awaaaaaay!
*takes his coconuts and gallops off*
Wait… Max how did you get a coconut?
Swallows brought them during migration.
@mabs: yes, apparently turtle necks. Anyone got one to spare?
Nucky, I feel for you. *sigh* At the VERY conservative (in a dress sense, not political) place I worked in San Diego, I usually wore button down shirts (hope that’s what they’re called up north
) with a brooch. Worked out okay for me since I like vintage jewelry, but finding a button down shirt that actually fits over any kind of bust can be tricky.
The entertaining thing is that studies I have read about ‘dress for success’ for women indicate that male office workers find things like turtlenecks that fit well over ‘the girls’ more sexy than just an open collar shirt.* IMO, dress codes are frequently not reason-based.
*Okay, I am assuming that you aren’t going to be unbuttoning the shirt down to the belly button.
Good luck with the job hunt.
Thanks, mabs, got a call back to meet the lawyer. Got another interview today and a third tomorrow. Sigh, I just don’t know if I can afford a whole new wardrobe if they thought the shirt I was wearing yesterday was “revealing”.
Thrift stores are your friends.
Seriously, why pay $50 for a dress shirt when someone has donated one that they wore a couple of times (or not at all!!) that sells for $2-5?
A high cut tank or camisole can go under that horribly revealing shirt and make it acceptable. Or a looped scarf to conceal that decolletage. Layering is IN.
Mabs, I love you. I’m going to hit some places this weekend!! I got a call back, two lawyers want to meet with me. Wooohooo.
You can also try Land’s end (which is at Sears). They carry the separates which teachers wear–high scoop necks, high v-necks. Good work rules: no boobs, no butts, no bellies!
Land’s End stuff is AWESOME. I buy all my work pants from there now because the stuff is guaranteed and when I wear mine out, they replace them.
Nucky, my sister said to try Fruit of the Loom tank tops — high cut, decent looking fabric. Get a couple in black, dark blue, chocolate brown, neutrals to go with whatever you have already. Pretty inexpensive.
Is it sad that I’m talking to my IRL sister about my imaginary internet friends? *wanders off to talk to non-internet imaginary people*
I am not imaginary, Mabs! Just because I ride a unicorn doesn’t mean I’m not real.
PS thanks for the tip.
Hee hee. It’s just too funny because my sister was telling me about a great PBS show on these people who lived all over the country, but never actually met and only communicated online with little avatars. So then I had to tell her about how we were all advising you on your job interviews, and she just about died laughing (’cause she’d just watched the show the night before). Then she had to provide more interview advice. So you’re getting advice from the imaginary relatives of your imaginary friends.
Eh!!? That’s an oxymoron, isn’t it? Like “too short a skirt”.
African swallows or European swallows?
I don’t know. Arghhhhhhhhh….
*lightning discharges REAL REAL HARD!*
I will laugh SO hard as soon as I recover!
Man. They got nothing like THAT in Asgard! Mead is nice, but overrated.
*prepares to even the score*
Recovered yet? I tend to knock a guy flat for 24 hours at least
*polishes oralday awards*
Thunder Gods come back quicker than you average mortal…but ZOUNDS!!!!!!! I do hope my return of the favor met with approval…eyes rolling back in head is good thing, ja?
The men of Asgard now request that you train the women of Asgard in certain…skills for which they will be forever in your debt.
I’m fine…no problems…the legendary Asgardian stamina is…..zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz…………….
Yes, the eye rolling in this instance is a fabulous thing.
See? That thunder rumbling has MANY fine uses.
*passes Nucky a flagon of Mead Lite*
And those awards are well earned!
Please accept another from my hammer and myself.
*hands over large trophy ans pats wench on booty*
*giggles and places new trophy on top shelf* Well, I do like to be proficient in anything I try. I think you deserve one as well *gives Brak trophy worthy of his performance*
*breaks into song*
…O Canada
Glorious and free……..
O Booty Wench
We stand on guard for THEEEEEEEEEEEE!
Shake what thou hast received from thine mother!
Is that how thou dost roll?
I’ve got working women… in different congressional districts.
That is what she must heartily proclaimed!
fv(k *most heartily.
Hey…you guys talk like me.
Like, forsooth n’ sh!t.
Fo’ shizzle, mine brethren! Fo’ shizzle!
Celebrate petite woman, for it is the day of your birth!
Yea, thou shalt keepeth the pimp hand strong.
Spare the pimp hand and spoil the fine @ss b!tches…
Henceforth, He shalt be known, as Baron Von Fodrizzle!
Motion approved.
That pic creeps me out.
Creative Anachronism – ur doin’ it wrong.
Pimpin’ was easy…dental work was not.
Dental what?? Didn’t barbers act as “dentists” back then?
Basically, the head and neck department all went to the same guy because they had fewer people back then, so it was harder to really specialize the way we can now.
This pic is totally shopped. You can tell ’cause it doesn’t even look like a real photo. I should know, I’ve seen millions of ‘shops before…
Those teeth don’t even look real.
ZOMG! He stole Washington’s wooden teeth!
COMMUNIST BELGIAN BASTARD!!!!!!!111!!!!!!
He sold them, you know, for BOOZE money.
This is a total win. jking has done well.
Seriously, I don’t think I’ve laughed this hard at a lol in a looooooooong time.
Yeah, it’s so good I even admitted jking made a good LOL. :-X I hope you’re reading this jking!
It has made my day. *favs*
Glad that we have something to snag and keep you here DWN!
Damn, I knew I forgot to carry my vanishing smoke bombs today…
So yea, I’m here. Anything you want to talk about in particular?
Oh nothing in particular, just hoping life is well, and that you’re taking good care of Lynn!
Lynn is well taken care of.
Then we know you are well taken-care of as well.
I have read it and it has been noted Rando. The day we set aside our differences to laugh at 18th century pimps, if only for a moment. Thanks.
You’re welcome. Keep making teh funneh.
And after our past interactions, you know it had to be good for me to be that nice about it.
Yeah, I try to stay away from the comments mostly these days. I feel as passionately about my political views as you do, and since we are polar opposites on most everything it is too easy for me to get fired up. I do appreciate the compliment, coming from you it is particularly meaningful. I will say that political humor without politics is far less interesting than the political humor, as evidenced by the low comment count on this one. Even SNL uses their political humor as a platform to push the writers’ political view points. If you agree with them it’s funny, if you don’t then you won’t like it.
Well, the funniest ones tend to be pretty nonpartisan or preachy on here. I’ll agree that we tend to think the ones we agree with are funnier. I think a lot of us write some pretty heavy-handed ones sometimes. Which is fine as long we balance it out with some actually funny ones. However, there is also EWAdams who many of us liberals might agree with politically, but despise due to his preachiness and arrogance. And the funny ones tend to spark less controversial conversation as well. LOL
I wonder if I’d get in trouble for printing this out for my art students.
I’ll be damned. I lol’d.
Joseph Ducreux not only brings the funny to PK, he also brought it to the 18th century paintings! I don’t know any works from that time comparable to his
that is soo not “photoshopped”
Because “pimpin was easy back then”
not like today with them bitchy hoes runnin around without protection
also check out mah bloggy
Yes, this is not photoshopped. It is a real self-partrait that hangs in the Louvre. Another self-potrait of him yawning done by the same painter, Joseph Ducreux, hangs in the Getty.

Wouldn’t it stand to reason that all SELF-PORTRAITS of the same person would be done by the same artist?
Otherwise it’s just a portrait.
What about cases of multiple personalities…
Logic has no place on the internet, The Steve!
OH Mr. HUMPHREYS!! Are you FREEEE?!?!
“…but it sho’ is fun”
This picture is actually real, not photoshopped. I looked it up.
This is a really great caption!
Pimpin’ easy? Forsooth, hast thou seen the price of 60″ diameter spinners?
Why do I keep thinking, “You Stay Classy 18th Century France”?
Because it’s funny.
*bows*
Why thank you. I knew my mind was clever.
Well, they completely butchered that meme.
He looks like a friend of mine…
Does anybody else see Mr Burns? lol
Well, this is an 18th century painting, so it is quite possible it is him in his younger days.
He kind of reminds me of my grandfather to be honest.
I’m sorry your Grandfather squandered your inheritance on crack for his ho’s and bitches.
Jogi likes Stromberg, I like Jogi!
Thanks for spamming your website, ass master.
This is one of my all-time favorites!
