With Friends Like These…..
Hey, kids, you know that old saying about how you are known by the company you keep? Well, it seems that Captain Underpants John McCain has been trying to distance himself from Chimpy George W. Bush, but I have uncovered evidence that they go way back and probably will always stick together. Let me show you the evidence.
The McBush McCain and the Chimpy Bush families have known each other for many, many years. In fact, I bet they go back to the time when dinosaurs and men walked the earth together!
I guess it was just natural that Captain Underpants John, Chimpy George, Sticky Fingers Cindy Lou and Pickles Laura would meet up centuries later and hit it off from the start. They spent all their time together. Why, it was almost as though they were on some kind of honeymoon!
The couples did everything together–even travel!
Why, they are so close that it seems that they even think alike, at least eventually! That’s what happens when you’re almost family!
Just like all families, there are little spats. Just a few years ago, there were horrible things said, but, in the end, Captain Underpants came crawling like the whiny little wuss he is they made up.
I just love a happy ending, don’t you?

Someone with some sophisticated equipment ought to animate these.

but, retired catholic, if they were animated, how would anyone be able to tell that that’s john mccain?

LOL! Man, this is the best laugh I’ve had all day. This is worthy of Morse, who’s the master of the photo essay.
Thanks, dude.

Nonnie, you make me wish every day was Hump Day!

May 7th, 2008 at 3:02 pm

This is great, nonnie! Chimpy and Captain Underpants are perfect in the honeymooners. Laura really looks in her element as Edith Bunker. Mrs. Captain Underpants manages to creep me out in all of them. That look she has on her face in the honeymooners is frightening - she looks like there should be lasers shooting out of her eyes. It’s a good thing that you know how to make me laugh, nons, because these people scare the poo out of me otherwise…..

jp! hola!
nightmare material, nonnie - even with the friendly backgrounds.
more home runs, the other team admits defeat.
May 7th, 2008 at 9:02 pm
thanks, gotta!
i think capt underpants would do very well working in the sewers, but i am not so sure i would trust chimpy driving a bus. he would be too busy throwing people under it to pay attention to steering and braking and things like that. of course, he would never be too busy to collect fares. the more i use sticky fingers cindy lou in posters, the more she frightens me. i think she is a cyborg. oh wait, cyborg sounds too jewish. more like an android, i guess.
May 7th, 2008 at 9:05 pm
i’m so sorry if i am giving you nightmares lately, jmls. maybe looking at their pictures for hours each day is the reason that i don’t sleep very well.

Yeah, Cindy Lou is just plain scary. And it’s not just the botox and the gone-too-far facelift giving her that “Mommy! Mommy! My braids are too tight!” look that does it. There’s something inhuman about that look in her eyes, and she always has it. It doesn’t matter what the expression is that she’s trying make against the expensive plastic work, that look is always there. It makes me think of that “This is your brain on drugs” commercial with the two fried eggs, with a hefty helping of psychosis on the side….
Maybe we should ditch both Cyborg and Android for something like Terminatrix…..

gotta,
i wonder if it is the drugs or capt underpants that has sapped poor cindy lou’s soul. there is definitely something missing there. maybe clutching her tax return to her bosom will help her get through the night.

Panting… Gasping… Wheezing… I’ve been running late for days. I finally got here, took a moment to catch my breath, and then… Panting… Gasping… Wheezing… from laughing my ass off at your zany Nick at Nite remakes!
I don’t think of this foursome as particularly photogenic (ahem!), but nonnie, you have made them so - again. Now I see that they just needed to be cast in suitable roles as character actors. Or, should I say caricature actors?
Chimpy Flintstone doesn’t know the price of gas since his car runs on foot power. No one can smell the stench coming from Dubya Kramden because Con Norton works in the sewers. Georgie Ricardo can barely speak English and is easily confused. Meathead McCain can’t escape Archie Bush’s thumb no matter how hard he tries.
Kudos, nonnie - some of your funniest stuff yet!

nightowl,
maybe i should have you write the text for me next time! you did a much better job than i did!
May 8th, 2008 at 10:58 pm
Oh, no, nonnie. YOU are the master!
