Burns Simpson 2008

In the interest of fairness, I had no choice but to do a Simpsons morph with the Republican presidential running mates. Last week, I created Carlson Leonard 2008 to mock the Democratic party, so now it’s the GOP’s turn. There was only one obvious choice of a Simpsons character to morph Sarah Palin [...]

The other half of you make me so mad!

The Onion has absolutely nailed my feelings on the US Presidential election.
“While you are 100 percent certain that your preferred candidate’s stance on issues such as foreign policy and the economy would appeal to any human being with half a brain, there is, in this very same country, an equally large voting bloc which believes [...]

Take me to the pie

Occasionally, as a native English speaker living in Spain, I come across words or situations that make me laugh because they have another meaning in the other language. Today was one of those days. Believe it or not, I had never considered the double Spanglish meaning of the Spanish word pie, meaning “foot”. [...]

Carlson Leonard 2008

digg_url = ‘http://digg.com/2008_us_elections/Vote_Carlson_Leonard_2008′;Watching some Simpsons the other day, it hit me what presidential morph I should do next. I’ve already morphed McCain into Palin and Obama into Biden. Now it’s time to go a little cartoony. What better black guy and white guy to morph Obama and Biden into than Carl and [...]

You’ll have to drink mine for me

Today I’m going to share a little joke that my father-in-law tells every time someone makes the clichéd comment of “No, I can’t go to [wherever], you’ll have to drink my drink for me.” It’s a pretty good joke. When you retell it, you should change the foreign land and the drinks ordered [...]

Language Immersion Anecdotes

One of the things I love about living in a foreign country immersed in a foreign language, is that sometimes your minimal understandings of things leads you to draw conclusions that, in retrospect are humorously idiotic, but that, at the time, seemed perfectly reasonable. Here I provide two of my favorite anecdotal instances.

The Face Of The Next US President

We won’t know who George W. Bush’s successor will be until November, but if we morph Barack Obama’s face with John McCain’s, we can see a face that looks a little bit like the next President of the United States of America.
As you may recall, I’ve already morphed Barack Obama into Joe Biden, which turned [...]

Obama Biden Morph

It wouldn’t be very fair of me to only morph John McCain and Sarah Palin together, now would it? I prefer to think of myself as a politically neutral face mangler.
The Obama-Biden merger was much easier because of similar postures and general head shape and hair style (no bangs). Plus, I think I’m [...]

McCain Palin Morph

I was absolutely amazed today to discover that no one out there in the tube system has yet created a video morphing the faces of John McCain and Sarah Palin. How could this be? As someone who possesses the technology, skill, and crazy necessary to create such a video, I felt it was [...]

Palin Rhymes

Am I the only one that is disappointed with the media for not coming up with any headlines that rhyme Palin with an abbreviated gerund? C’mon guys! Here, I’ll help:
Tailin’ Palin (close media coverage)
Wailin’ Palin (complaining about close media coverage)
Nailin’ Palin (with direct questions)
Sailin’ Palin (I dunno, maybe she goes out on a [...]
