> [@Really\_Not\_All\_That\_Bright](#): > > Heretic! Where are the boobies? Well, I saw a mockup of a card some years ago with some boobies in it. It was a photo of a Madonna lookalike, dressed in heavy satin and lace, draped strategically, exposing the shoulders and upper chest. She was holding a naked baby in one arm. The caption was, “Whaddaya mean, who’s the father?” I always wished it would have been real. I would have bought a gross of them. One real card I recall: Jesus standing by an open door. Two old ladies in foreground. “Jesus Christ, shut the door! Where were you born, in a barn?” And being female, I must admit to preferring pirates. Ninjas are okay, but the look is a bit monotonous. Planes, dinosaurs, bleh. Dragons and Robin Hood and HORSES! Girls love horses! Oh, and swords, too, I guess. ---

I love the idea of all this on a Christmas card. I suppose part of the reason for most of this can be summed up by [someone else.](http://survivingtheworld.net/Lesson38.html) ---

Years ago, while testing out a new set of coloured Sharpies (you gotta test them all, right?) I drew two pictures, to illustrate a conversation I’d been having with my husband earlier in the day. Picture 1: Girl Picture A horse, which later became a unicorn, a kitten, a puppy, a rainbow, a couple of flowers, a princess and a prince all featured in the image. Picture 2: Boy Picture A dinosaur, a plane, on fire (unfortunately not an F-14, but a commercial airliner), a ninja, some guns, blood, a mushroom cloud and I think I might have tossed in a ship or pirate or something else. I wish I had kept them - I’d put them together now and make Christmas cards for everyone! ---

> [@Intergalactic\_Gladiator](#): > > Fighter planes, attack helicopters, and space ships would also be acceptable. I think these items reveal a young lad’s incipient geekitude. Not that there’s anything wrong with that. > [@pbbth](#): > > I’m getting married soon and I tried to sell my fiance on getting married on a pirate ship but he won’t go for it. He wants to have a classy, elegant wedding.:rolleyes:😃 I think this clearly inicates that you and your chosen lifemate are incompatible. I, however, think both of these ideas are awesome. Instead of throwing your bouquet to the bridesmaids, you could shoot it at them out of a deck cannon, or launch it from a spear gun. ---

> [@norinew](#): > > Excellent! You have a barefoot, bleeding, muscle-shirt-wearing John on the outside. The inside says: > Now I have a machine gun. > Ho. > Ho. > Ho. > > 😃 _Awesome._ Also, how can you have a picture of a ninja on a card? Ninjas can’t be seen. **vivalostwages** , when I was a child I got a book/tape/statuette set featuring Santa kneeling in prayer before the Baby Jesus…apparently that idea has been around for awhile. ---
