A Picture Of A Man And His Gourd Goes Terribly Awry
Thursday, October 9, 2008 The Palinode did not want me to post this one particular photo of him holding a gourd. I think that it's because he thought it was unflattering or something, so I am posting it anyway going to respect his wishes. We're going to have to get a bigger apartment to house all of these Spouse of the Year awards that I keep winning.
Of course, I asked if I could post the photograph he expressly requested that I keep off the internet if I stuck a rabbit head on top of his face. He said yes, so I did.
This picture was really supposed to be about that weird gourd he brought home, which I have yet to identify, but the rabbit-hat-wearing-lady-head kind of stole the show. If you take a good look at her eye makeup, it's kind of freaky.
I started to wonder if he should really be touching something when he doesn't know what it is or where it's from, so I gave him some rubber gloves.
He was suddenly starting to look like a confused drag queen, so I tried to balance him out with a championship wrestling belt...
...which left him looking kind of stupid, so I threw on an extra head to add some brains to the picture. The dashing moustachio was a last minute decision to add a bit of flair.
And then I got a little carried away and added two cat tails, a unicorn horn to the vestigial head, a frog tongue eating a fly and a halo to the rabbit-hat-wearing-lady-head, and an ever-so-tasteful background based on a photograph of a meat locker.
That's my bunny-eared, gourd-loving, vestigial horn-headed, lizard-tongued, two-tailed, germophobic, holy championship wrestler hanging out with a hell of a lot of meat. I sure hope that he likes me as much as I think he does, because I meant this all in the nicest possible way. Honest.

yep, you and your gourd are completely asunder from each other.
That rabbit hat could come in handy on bad hair days.

That picture is a beautiful act of love. What man could fail to be touched by that portrait?
I think I see the beginnings of next month's header.
Completely disturbing, yet oddly satisfying!
fabulous.
That is classy!
:)
Hot. HOT!
It’s like a portrait of a fancy meat angel, patron saint of all omnivores. Most awesome!
The awesomest of the awesome.
You are very talented. I would never recognize that gourd if I saw it in a store.
I think I love you.
Wow, that's quite an evolution he endured.
This officially makes my whole day. I LOVE this! There is nothing like going too too far to get all the way there.
Terribly awry. Terribly. Awry.
best. thing. on the internet. ever.
I stumbled over from Craftasrophe, and this post had me chuckling out loud!
