Women don't get it, and every guy does

I think Jimbo’s card would have a Ferrari, a Star Trek logo, and Captain Kirk. Possibly Captain Kirk IN a Ferrari. :smiley:

ETA: With a severe case of flatulence.

Ninjas are people. Are you sure they’re not ninjas? Also, Frankenstein is people, so one of them might be Frankenstein.

I’m a woman and I get it – the woman in question has a bunch of artwork she needs to use on a Christmas card and since it’s by her son, it only features stereotypically “boy” things. She is a responsible recycler unlike men and is resourcefully finding a way to use what she has on her cards.

Thank you. I think the question isn’t so much what would be cool on a Christmas card, but rather what would a little boy think would go well on a Christmas card.

If I were tasked with designing a Christmas card when I was little, it would have included dinosaurs, sharks, and Micronauts. We didn’t have ninjas in the 1970s.

I’m a girl, and I get it somewhat - the ninjas part anyway. I also have this bumper sticker* on my car, though.
*full disclosure, I designed the sticker and it’s my store

Of course you can’t put Thomas through a woodchipper. He’s made of iron.

Toby, on the other hand.

I’m more of a “World War II airplane making strafing runs” kind of guy, myself.

I think Captain Kirk driving a Ferrari past a group of ninjas fighting a laser-eyed dinosaur would be extremely awesome.

I can handle the flatulence all by myself, thanks. I don’t need it on my Christmas cards – that’d just be tacky.

You know, unless it’s a Tyrannosaurus Rex flying an F-15, it just doesn’t meet the Calvin and Hobbes Coolness Quotient[sup]TM[/sup], and that is the ruler by which I measure all coolness.

What kind of isolated, ignorant f*** has never heard of The Christmas Ninja?

I need some clarification, when you ask if Jesus bleongs on a Christmas card are you talking about Zombie Jesus, or just, you know, Jesus Jesus?

Girl here, and I get it. So would all my female friends. We’re geeks. Isn’t this a geek thing more than it is a male/female thing?

Here, I think “little boy” means “male under 55.” But Walpurgis is probably right that it’s a geek thing.

Middlebro would have put in a submarine. I still believe that informing him that “there are situations a submarine isn’t appropriate for” was most inappropriate and should have been considered as cruelty to children!

Littlebro would have put footie players, only he can’t draw worth shit, so the only ones able to recognize that the picture had footie players would have been him and Middlebro. If you want to lose at Pictionary, let them pair up.

I didn’t draw between k-1 and 5th grade, trauma caused by maternal unit in collusion with teachery unit. I swear the worst part of childhood is grown-ups.

The Nephew wants to put Pocoyo in everything. Dora is an acceptable substitute in case of emergency. A suggestion from an Idiot Grownup about Pocoyo marrying Dora was met with The Nephew turning to his mom, giving her a rolleyes bigger than himself and declaring that “I am going to my room! The stuffed bunny has better conversation!” (he just turned 4 last month, this incident is from last spring).

The Niece doesn’t draw yet, but Pocoyo appears to be acceptable. Opinions on ninjas weren’t available the last time I was with her.

I am yet another female who gets your reference. And, yes, it’s true - everything’s better with ninjas.

Come on, Santa Claus has to have had some amount of ninja training. I mean, he arrives, drops off presents, and leaves, all with a high degree of cunning, stealth, and precision. :slight_smile:

Said the Rankin-Bass animated Fred Astaire…

I hate to be the one to have to tell you … Your fiance was born a chick. And not a cool, Linda Hamilton T2 chick but a Sansa Stark sighing chick.

Sorry. I hope you have a brother to squish bugs for you.

:smiley:

I’m a male and I just don’t get the point of cards. Yay, somebody sent some generic Christmas message on a piece of paper at me. Gee, haven’t heard something like this since… last year!

More presents, less cards.

The cards are just dead trees. No one cares about those. It’s the wads of cash inside that people love. And the ninjas.

Most, although not all, males cease their artistic and emotional development at about age 9, at which point, ninjas dinosaurs, carnage, explosions and such are the epitome of visual communication. Some continue to mature as artists, but these themes never lose their hold.

For example, Leonardo DaVinci painted the Mona Lisa. He also lived before dinosaurs were discovered, and was very far from Japan. However, he was able to overcome these obstacles by* inventing tanks and helicopters so that the he would have something awesome to draw*.
