Dinosaurs, Ninjas and Swords make anything cooler. If I could have had them in my wedding I would have.
Also you can add a plane dropping bombs and shooting tracer rounds.
Nope. Just ninjas and dinosaurs. Everything else was a fad, and is now, passe.
Fighter planes, attack helicopters, and space ships would also be acceptable.
I don’t send out holiday cards and am not even Christian, and I’d want to send out a Christmas card like that.
I not only don’t get ninjas on a Christmas card, I don’t get this entire thread. The clue phone in my cubicle doesn’t ring very often.
I get it, but I have to admit, I’m not a big fan of dinosaurs, ninjas, and swords. However, I see nothing wrong with a card that has a '57 Chevy, Indiana Jones, and John Maclean from Die Hard.
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:
Let’s see if I can explain it.
Dinosaurs! Ninjas! Swords!
Better?
To those who don’t get it, I think the key word here is “son”. Little boys like dinosaurs and ninjas and swords. Even on Christmas cards. No boy worthy of the name would even think about drawing a tasteful and serene family-around-the-tree type picture. Not unless the family had a severe case of flatulence.
-MIS!, female
Nice touch!
The answer is obvious. Jesus is a Ninja. I was told from childhood that “Jesus is always with you.” So, why’s He so hard to spot? Well, duh! :smack: He’s a Ninja, of course!
Now if I get any of those tasteful and serene family picture cards, I’m going to imagine them all farting. Wow, those cards might be almost tolerable this year. Thanks, MIS!
In certain circumstances, it is also acceptable to depict the family engaging in Three Stooges-style physical comedy or feeding the yucky older sister through a woodchipper. These options, however, are only recommended for advanced artists.
I was thinking more along the lines of Cthulu, zombies and Thomas the tank engine, but I suppose your 3 would do.
Female, and I get it.
I had a deprived childhood - as a child of suburbia, I never had access to a woodchipper to feed my yucky older sister through.
Life is just so unfair. 
Mine last year were an Edward Gorey assortment. No ninjas, but dragons, death to fruitcake, and a Great Veiled Bear.
Ever since I was a little kid (a girl kid, for the record), I’ve looked forward to my cousin’s holiday card. He always picks one with a joke about reindeer farts or a dead Santa, and embellishes it with “Kilroy was here!” and “Sid lives!” He did the same on his wedding invitations.
I have a 6 year old nephew and all he draws are flowers, animals, and people. I don’t think incorperating ninjas into everything is an across the board ‘boy thing’. It’s surely more common in boys…
I thought it was a riddle.
I was gonna guess jock itch.
On the other thing - I get the dinosaurs and the ninjas. The swords not so much.
Oh and also Christmas is really about zombies and shopping malls.
What, you can’t put Thomas the Tank Engine through a woodchipper? With ninjas and pirates looking on from atop their laser-eyed dinosaurs?
No, no, Halloween is about zombies and shopping malls.
