and John Maclean from Die Hard.

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.

I would love to see a scanned image of this. It would probably be the new background on my work computer, replacing Mark Twain and Tesla playing with light bulbs.

What, you can’t put Thomas the Tank Engine through a woodchipper? With ninjas and pirates looking on from atop their laser-eyed dinosaurs?

Only after the zombies catch him.

We gave some good friends of ours a game that included a bag full of glow in the dark zombie figurines. Their 7 year old son got hold of that bag, and next thing anyone know, the zombies were chasing Thomas all over the train yard, and off of the island of Sodor

I’m currently reading Stephen King’s Dark Tower series, and this sounds like something right out of the books.

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

Can he be on his communicator, calling for an airstrike from a squadron of F-18s (which can also be seen, dropping bombs and shooting the dinosaur)? Note that Kirk shouldn’t be calling Scotty to beam him up or shoot a photon torpedo at the dinosaur, because that would be stretching credibility.

Also, should there be a buxom space alien babe in the car with Kirk, or is our target demographic a little too young for that?

At dinner, I ran an informal poll of my sons. I asked what they would draw on a Christmas card.

Fang (6) said, “Swords, shields, dragons, and clone troopers.”

Spike (2) said, Dinosaur - “choo-choo train.”

I think they get it.

Zombie Ninjas are cooler than normal Ninjas though, however it’s a tad harder for them to sneak up on their victim (the baby Jesus?) what with their rather “fragrant” decomposition problem…

OTOH, they DO clean up after themselves after they slay their victim, they simply eat him

Ninjas, Dinosaurs (with frickin’ laserbeams on their heads) and swords are definitely neccesary for a hand-drawn Christmas Card, I’d also add some exotic sportscars in the background, fleeing from a mushroom cloud, oh and all the people in the card need to be holding handguns, we can give Baby Jesus a nice little .22 snubby revolver, should be the right size for him

Also you can add a plane dropping bombs and shooting tracer rounds.

ESPECIALLY if the fighter planes are in a fierce battle against both the dinosaurs and Ninjas.

And the Ninjas are riding in a sleigh!

I thought I was the only one ready to respond “I don’t get it” due to the obvious lack of fighter planes. I’m still a little confused though at the lack of the tanks they should be shooting their tracer bullets at.

They’re a given. Leonardo invented them for this very purpose.

I have an 11 year old son. If he were to make me a Christmas card with ninjas, swords and dinosaurs, I would be the happiest person on the planet.

Of course they belong. Oh, and if the username’s not a tipoff, I’m a goil.

I received a Halloween card today, hand made by a woman at work, that included a heart, little anime hamsters, Hello Kitty, a fairy, and butterflies, all on the outside. Then on the inside… fairies being murdered in violent sprays of red glitter glue by Hello Kitties wielding respectively a sword (I did not know you could get scrapbooking sword stickers) and a candy-apple being used as a bludgeon. The text inside the card reads “Hearts that Love are Always in Bloom”. I’m sure you’ll agree it’s a touching sentiment. I mostly liked the spray of glitter glue blood everywhere, and the ingenious use of the candy-apple sticker.

I could almost be tempted to take up scrapbooking. I begin to get the feeling that if there aren’t dinosaur and ninja stickers available, I could probably improvise.

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.

Nitpick: The Tyrannosaurs in question were flying F-14s, not F-15s. The principal difference in this instance is that F-14s fly off of, and crash-land onto, aircraft carriers.

Of course that does not prevent other, equally malevolent carnosaurs from flying F-15s.

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*.

This is an unbelievably cool and funny post. Are you a dinosaur or a ninja?

Radioactive Dinosaur - the best kind.

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

Toby, on the other hand.

Dude. You owe me a new keyboard.

Can you imagine the look on Toby’s face?

Last weekend my six-year-old nephew drew me a card with a zombie on it, saying “Banes banes banes banes banes”.

I got it.

What, under 55? I think it’s OK.

You won’t have to imagine if you put him in feet-first.
