Someone put up an image with this joke on VFP. I decided to see what would happen if I tried to do it well. Comments, suggestions? ---
Rev. Isra (talk) 22:17, 17 October 2006 (UTC)
- Pretty good. I think it would be more effective if you put elder Bush on the left and tried to get their names in the title.--Procopius 16:47, 17 October 2006 (PDT)
- The problem is, while your image itself is original, the idea itself is far from it. Googling images for "dumb dumber bush" I came up with several varations on the theme: I'm sure that there are more...The VFP'd one, by the way, had Bush Jr and a Bush Jr impressionist. --Sir Modusoperandi 00:33, 18 October 2006 (UTC)
- How about you do Steven Harper (He's my Prime Minister, eh?) and Bush. They are like clones it seems. --Sir Zombiebaron 19:46, 17 October 2006 (PDT)
- Thanks for comments everyone. Probably this won't ever be feature material, so I think I might just leave this one alone. Anyone who has a home for it is welcome to use it though. ---Rev. Isra (talk) 03:18, 18 October 2006 (UTC)
- Heheh, love it.. -- Hindleyite 18:13, 18 October 2006 (UTC)
Mementos
- I thought of this when I was making Leonard's arm for Memento, but it didn't fit the burgery theme of the page, so I never made it. Apologies for the quality, I couldn't find a hi-res cap of Leonard w/the pic...and my dvd collection is still waiting to be unpacked.--Sir Modusoperandi 19:10, 14 October 2006 (UTC)
- You should probably flip the order to "!Better Goes Fresh".--Sir Modusoperandi 02:37, 15 October 2006 (UTC)
- Thanks. I should've pointed that out to me that earlier.--Sir Modusoperandi 02:39, 15 October 2006 (UTC)
- This might be kind of crazy, so feel free to ignore it, but remember those Mentos commercials from the 90s. The basic theme of them was that someone would either do something odd or make some sort of social gaff, but then they'd pop open a mentos, chew one, everything would be alright, and then the frame would freeze, the mentos logo would come up and then the announcer would say "the fresh maker." The Foo Fighters did an entire video that was just a bunch of parodies of these commercials. Maybe you could try to replicate this effect on the scene where Leonard drinks spit or something. Except it'd be Momentos. I dunno. ---Rev. Isra (talk) 02:50, 15 October 2006 (UTC)
- For a page, perhaps. But I figure that any Memento page I make would just be "another Memento page" (for examples, see Jesus). My original sketch shows Leonard holding a packet o' Mentos and smiling (like the last scene of those infernal Mentos ads). This picture is more recognizable as Memento (tradeoff being that it loses a bit of Mentos).--Sir Modusoperandi 03:01, 15 October 2006 (UTC)
Oh great, another Mentos meme. ;) (Sorry, couldn't resist.)--<<

- Nutty bunny. You're lucky that I'm still a little drunk from my Unbirthday party yesterday. An imaginary party, for an imaginary birthday, with imaginary booze. Hey, that means I'm sober! I guess I should put on some pants...--Sir Modusoperandi 03:46, 15 October 2006 (UTC)
- Hmm, this picture says I should put some pants on... wait a minute, am I not wearing pants? Why the heck not? Man, I wish I could remember things for more than 5 seconds. Wait, what does this picture say? ... etc, etc, etc. :)--<<>> 04:02, 15 October 2006 (UTC)
- I must be chasing this guy. Nope, he's chasing me. Classic. I really should unpack my dvds.--Sir Modusoperandi 04:10, 15 October 2006 (UTC)
Revised version, cleaned up and w/flipped text.--Sir Modusoperandi 05:24, 16 October 2006 (UTC)
Darwin and St. Michael
Been in a photoshoppy mood lately, and trying the religion thing again. Suggestions/problems with image quality? Does the concept work? Should I crop it more closely than the original? ---Rev. Isra (talk) 03:26, 18 October 2006 (UTC)
- Oh dear, this is funny. I was laughing so hard I was in tears.--<<>> 03:29, 18 October 2006 (UTC)
- Since you're asking for things that could be better, Darwin's skin color is off.--<<>> 03:31, 18 October 2006 (UTC)
- Changed caption as per suggestion. Altered Darwins skin color and darkened Michael's head as Severian suggested. (May require reload) ---Rev. Isra (talk) 03:56, 18 October 2006 (UTC)
About my comment of VFP... there isn't anything inherently wrong with it, I just think that adding head onto a picture is just a relatively simple manner of photoshopping. Of course, I should talk. Also, now I realize it's not just the head; for the monkey you also added limbs. So, in other words, I should shut up. -- ยง. | WotM | PLS | T | C | A
- Whoa dude, I leave off Reefer for a few days and something gets featured. AND there's a few Reefer pics on VFP to come...
Anyway, I like this. It looks a lot better in its downsized version: blown up you can see the joins, though. I know it's already been featured, but it might have benefitted from the 'chopped heads to look more painterly. As for the concept, it's brilliant. A deserved feature. -- Hindleyite 17:49, 22 October 2006 (UTC)
Field Navigation
- This came from my previous attempt at road-signary. That one really didn't have a punchline, and will probably end up on an UnNews article, which since I've now given away my idea will now be, written by someone else. Anyway, this one has more of a punchline, bigger text, and includes a refrence to British sport. --Major Sir Zombiebaron GUN • WotM • UotM • PotM • AotM • EGAEDM • UPotM • MAFE • ZotM • IotM • VotM • UGotM (shout) 00:09, 12 October 2006 (UTC)
- Since you have Buffalo referenced, you almost HAVE to have it specifically mention wide right...--<<>> 00:30, 12 October 2006 (UTC)
- Maybe if you could explain what "wide right" means. --Major Sir Zombiebaron GUN • WotM • UotM • PotM • AotM • EGAEDM • UPotM • MAFE • ZotM • IotM • VotM • UGotM (shout) 01:06, 12 October 2006 (UTC)
- Actually, it probably won't work. "Wide right" refers to the Buffalo Bills' first Super Bowl loss, where their kicker missed a field goal at the end of the game wide right. They've been to three more since then, but were never that close to winning. Just seeing "Football" and "Buffalo" makes me think "wide right," even if it doesn't mean much in the "roadsign" angle.--<<>> 01:23, 12 October 2006 (UTC)
- I'm not sure if you caught on to the background or the caption, but the sport portrayed in this image is the original football, called "soccer" by you southerners, eh? Thanks anyway Brad. I'm open to any and all suggestions. --Major Sir Zombiebaron GUN • WotM • UotM • PotM • AotM • EGAEDM • UPotM • MAFE • ZotM • IotM • VotM • UGotM (shout) 02:08, 12 October 2006 (UTC)
St. Stephen the Martyr
| Please Help this Picture
|
St. Stephen the ProtoMartyr, the first adherant of the Christian faith to be martyred.
According to the New Testament Acts of the Apostles, Stephen attached sixteen sticks of dynamite to his chest, detonating them in a crowded market in Jerusalem, killing 32 Zionists and 2 Great Satans, and wounding dozens more. Stephen is venerated as a Saint by the Catholic Church, and in many countries St. Stephen's Day is a publicly recognized holiday.
St. Stephen is depicted here in a 12th century Orthodox icon. The grenade in his hand is probably anachronistic.

Trying my hand at an image for VFP. Comments on image, caption and VFPability are welcome. ---Rev. Isra (talk) 23:32, 11 October 2006 (UTC)
- The dynamite should be more "dynamitey", a la this. Whenever I make a pic with a dynamite bomb, I put an analog clock timer on the front, like so Image:Howtosuicide-bomb.jpg; it's technically unnecessary, but I am quite mad. Mad! Also I'm of the opinion that a standalone pic should, um, standalone. That is, if it needs a caption at all, it should be short. The pic is the cake, the caption is the icing. Of course, there are those that would disagree. They think I'm mad. Mad!--Sir Modusoperandi 23:49, 11 October 2006 (UTC)
- Looks good, althought if you could sort of... I don't know how to describe it.. dull the grenade a bit, so it looks more like it belongs in the image, it might help? It looks a bit "added-in" still.--Theo 00:30, 12 October 2006 (UTC)
- Don't listen to Modus. He's mad. Long captions are the wave of the future, my friend, and more closely parallel the evil children at Wikipedia.--<<>> 00:31, 12 October 2006 (UTC)
- The grenade is a little sharp but other than that, it fuckin' rocks.
Premier Tom Mayfair
01:01, 12 October 2006 (UTC)
- I reddedned up the dynamite like modus suggested. Added a new version just before this comment, but am still having some trouble with the grenade. ---Rev. Isra (talk) 01:33, 12 October 2006 (UTC)
- Cool, it looks a bit like a kiwi bird. You probably just need to fade the grenade (or lower its contrast, or colour saturation) vice the kiwi-ification.--Sir Modusoperandi 01:45, 12 October 2006 (UTC)

- I liked how this turned out, although I did it with the GIMP and it may show. Anyway, if you have suggestions to improve it, I'd love to hear them. It's the only image I've made that I think has an outside chance to be VFP -- although I won't weep if it's not worthy. I know we've been hitting the Maoist stuff hard lately.--Procopius 02:24, 10 October 2006 (UTC)
- It's cute, and yes VFP took a swing to the left...don't worry, it'll turn violently to the right next. Mae West to Mao Zedong is a bit of a stretch for a pun, mostly because kids these days probably haven't heard of her (and I think the VFP crowd has matured beyond the head-swap'd pic phase). I would say that you should start a Mae Zedong page, but that link isn't red, so you already are.--Sir Modusoperandi 02:42, 10 October 2006 (UTC)
- Thanks -- I figured the picture would have a hard time standing on its own. Oh well. I have to say it was a little spooky how well Mae West fit on Mao's head.--Procopius 03:08, 10 October 2006 (UTC)
- I'm sure there's a good conspiracy theory to explain that. Welcome to the club, if you haven't been welcomed already. "Chop-anon"; we meet on Thursday nights and talk about our head-swap and colour-balancing related nightmares. Plus there's coffee.--Sir Modusoperandi 03:32, 10 October 2006 (UTC)
- You might want to try it at VFP; I'd vote for and, even if it fails, you'd have popped your VFP cherry, as it were.--Sir Modusoperandi 03:34, 10 October 2006 (UTC)
- Okay, not that its bad. But it is. Why? Cause Ive seen like 200 head swaps using that same photo on VFP. Thankfully none of them are featured. --Major Sir Zombiebaron GUN • WotM • UotM • PotM • AotM • EGAEDM • UPotM • MAFE • ZotM • IotM • VotM • UGotM (shout) 03:37, 10 October 2006 (UTC)
- Gotcha -- I admit, it's one o' my first attempts at photo manipulation, so it's going to have a strong tendency to, um, suck. I'll just file this one under juvenalia . . .--Procopius 03:49, 10 October 2006 (UTC)
- No no don't get me wrong. If I knew who Mae West was, and if that image of Mao Zedong hadn't been head swapped so many times, I might even vote for it. But I don't and it has. Its not you're fault, so keep trying! --Major Sir Zombiebaron GUN • WotM • UotM • PotM • AotM • EGAEDM • UPotM • MAFE • ZotM • IotM • VotM • UGotM (shout) 06:39, 10 October 2006 (UTC)
- Yeah, don't lose heart! It's not bad for an early attempt. Someone who's never seen the poster before might find it funny... but I would try to think of a better subject for your Potatochops, this has been done before. Remember, appropriation is good, but too much and it becomes cliched. -- Hindleyite 19:19, 10 October 2006 (UTC)
- Oh yah, let my point out that some people create 93 images, but only get one featured. And I'm sure you're better then some other people, eh? --Major Sir Zombiebaron GUN • WotM • UotM • PotM • AotM • EGAEDM • UPotM • MAFE • ZotM • IotM • VotM • UGotM (shout) 23:54, 10 October 2006 (UTC)
- Do some people need a cookie and some milk? It sounds like some people are a little bit cranky-wanky. Maybe it will help some people if they never again put a cross made of poop on VFP, hmmm?--Sir Modusoperandi 00:48, 11 October 2006 (UTC)
- Boys, boys, you're BOTH pretty! :)--Procopius 03:31, 11 October 2006 (UTC)
I've never seen that picture before. So I liked it. I would have Fored it 
23:08, 10 October 2006 (UTC)
- Thanks for the kind words. I've seen this mocked before. At the very least, the propoganda of the Cultural Revolution opens itself to jokes very easily. Maybe it's the fanatical sincerity of it.--Procopius 03:31, 11 October 2006 (UTC)
New American Measurement System
- Okay, so as I was on the road traveling this Thanksgiving Weekend (Yes, we celebrate Thanksgiving in October in Canada), I watched milage signs go by, and though about turkey. This idea popped into my brain, and I made it. Nice story, eh? --Major Sir Zombiebaron GUN • WotM • UotM • PotM • AotM • EGAEDM • UPotM • MAFE • ZotM • IotM • VotM • UGotM (shout) 02:09, 10 October 2006 (UTC)
- The "football fields" could be a bit bigger; s'tough to read. Or, it might just be me. Maybe push the digits leftish and make the "ff"s bigger.--Sir Modusoperandi 02:32, 10 October 2006 (UTC)
- Yah, I kinda thought that myself when I uploaded it. --Major Sir Zombiebaron GUN • WotM • UotM • PotM • AotM • EGAEDM • UPotM • MAFE • ZotM • IotM • VotM • UGotM (shout) 03:33, 10 October 2006 (UTC)
- It's a little better. There's only so much that you can do in the space provided, I guess.--Sir Modusoperandi 04:25, 10 October 2006 (UTC)

- Be kind; I'm still learning how to use my tablet...it's better (so far) for photochopping than it is for drawing...--Sir Modusoperandi 00:43, 9 October 2006 (UTC)
- I like the picture muchly, but methinks the caption could use a little work. 17:28, 9 October 2006 (UTC)
- Hmm... let's see. This is of course quite funny. It strikes me immediately as something Gary Lawson would do for "The Far Side", and I think that should be mentioned in some way. It's presentation is more "funny pages" than cartoon, but that's just being picky. That's all I've got. Cheers on the funny pic.--<<>> 18:01, 9 October 2006 (UTC)
- "...in comic strip form", perhaps?--Sir Modusoperandi 19:14, 9 October 2006 (UTC)
- maybe just "...in the comics." It's shorter, and still gets the point across.--<<>> 19:22, 9 October 2006 (UTC)
Baah! I just called it that because a few years ago I went back and read (or reread) most of the "Great Literature" that I'd skipped through in highschool and found, to my dismay, that most of what was presented as "Great Literature" was not great at all. "Pretentious" would be a better word (famous literaturologist wrote a book on The Metamorphosis with 130 different theories on what the story means. 130, and it's a friggin' short story! That's not great; that's muddled). But I digress.
- "...in the comics." sounds okay.--Sir Modusoperandi 19:44, 9 October 2006 (UTC)
- So, I changed it...and liked it better before Image:Kafkametamorphosisv11.jpg --Sir Modusoperandi 02:55, 10 October 2006 (UTC)
- Ignore that bit. I realize I misread the tips before. Changed it, and like it. --Sir Modusoperandi 00:45, 11 October 2006 (UTC)
- Might be funner as a page from a Kafka Coloring Book. Maybe Kafka was originially a children's author.--Rljenk 23:58, 9 October 2006 (UTC)
- If it was for a page, perhaps. But I've wasted too much time on Kafka as it is. --Sir Modusoperandi 02:55, 10 October 2006 (UTC)
- I think it's about as good as it's going to get, now. Put something about Kafka getting sued by Gary Larson (creator of "The Far Side") in the caption, and I think you've got a winner.--<<>> 00:42, 12 October 2006 (UTC)
- Or, to be more Kafkaish (and a sly reference to the awful "The Trial"), "Franz Kafka started his career as a newspaper cartoonist, before being sued by Gary Larson in the court of his own mind". Wow, that didn't seem all that obscure until I typed it out.--Sir Modusoperandi 00:49, 12 October 2006 (UTC)
- It has the virtue of sounding clever enough to be funny even if it isn't, so I wouldn't worry about being too obscure. ---Rev. Isra (talk) 00:59, 12 October 2006 (UTC)
- I don't know if that compliment is backhanded or fronthanded...I'll take it as the latter, as it's funnier.--Sir Modusoperandi 01:17, 12 October 2006 (UTC)
No Television
- I made this after the idea hit me. Its ranked higher then the mon lisa when you google "Famous painting" (the original, not mine!) --Major Sir Zombiebaron GUN • WotM • UotM • PotM • AotM • EGAEDM • UPotM • MAFE • ZotM • IotM • VotM • UGotM (shout) 22:01, 6 October 2006 (UTC)
- A test pattern on the TV, maybe (I know it's not "realistic", but there's comedy in the test pattern)?..and the TV itself seems a bit out of perspective.--Sir Modusoperandi 23:45, 6 October 2006 (UTC)
- It's *really* low res, do you not have a better version of it? 13:09, 7 October 2006 (UTC)
- This is a great concept. I suggest you go with it, though I would have an old fashioned, small portable television instead of the widescreen, which takes up a load of the 'canvas'. Just be careful to make it blend in with the paint. It might also help, as FM says, to get a higher resolution version of the painting - it's pretty famous so there should be loads of versions about. -- Hindleyite 19:21, 9 October 2006 (UTC)
- Good idea, a folding 1950's table tray would be the perfect thing to raise the portable TV to eyelevel. Rabbit ears are always funny.--Rljenk 00:03, 10 October 2006 (UTC)
N00b Policy
I made this for a thread on the Dump, then decided I quite liked it. 19:49, 3 October 2006 (UTC)
- It confuses and frightens me, as it did in the Forum. I can understand that at least a couple of admins have this as their windows background, but is this injoke really something that we want to promote? Other than my confusification/frightenation, it's a good image; I was a hoverbaby. Or I wasn't. It was one of those.--Sir Modusoperandi 19:55, 3 October 2006 (UTC)
I would heavily promote this if it was up to me, I think users should get this as part of their welcome package, to leave them with no illusions. And what is this hoverbaby thing? Is there some hilarious joke that has passed me by? 20:06, 3 October 2006 (UTC)
- It's a baby, right? But it's hovering. It's not underwater, 'cause there's no bubbles. Therefore = hoverbaby.--Sir Modusoperandi 20:17, 3 October 2006 (UTC)
- Simple as that, eh? Actually, the picture I took it from had scarily no bubbles either. But if that kid's not holding his breath, he must be enjoying some tasty bubble-gum. 20:25, 3 October 2006 (UTC)
- Okay, I can tell that the "fish" was probably originaly surrounded by black, cause you didn't even bother to eraes the black tottally. Other then that, it seems to lack pinash, cause its just an inside joke...sorta kinda.... --Major Sir Zombiebaron GUN • WotM • UotM • PotM • AotM • EGAEDM • UPotM • MAFE • ZotM • IotM • Vo
