Creepiness, Creaminess, Contestiness, Cashiness

Posted below is an image that is simultaneously all of the following things: (i) disgusting, (ii) horrible, (iii) terrifying, (iv) hilarious, and (v) Shamrock Shake-y.

If you are easily grossed out or frightened, or if you want to retain your ability to consume mint-colored foods, you should probably stop reading right now. Go fly a kite, or a weather balloon, or, to quote pre-insane Tom Cruise from A Few Good Men, go "do whatever it is you do when you're not here."

Now, on the other hand, if you read that list of adjectives with a growing sense of wonderment as to how I'd managed to isolate so precisely the deepest fascinations of your mind, I have good news for you. Well, I actually have good and bad news, but there are three pieces of good and only one of bad. Wait. Is that statement itself another piece of good news? Does that mean there are actually four pieces of good news? Wait again. Wouldn't that statement be additional good news in itself, meaning there are actually five pieces now?

I think I'll probably stop right there before I break one of the few remaining parts of my brain that aren't broken already.

Back to the news. The bad: If you like the sound of whatever's being described by those adjectives, you're almost certainly deranged. I'm sorry, but there's really no arguing it. The good news, though: Part 1 - You will be able to see said image in a moment, free of charge; Part 2 - The first person to leave a comment successfully identifying the origin of said image came will receive a $5 bill in his or her Holiday Card this year; Part 3 - Yes, the Holiday Cards are coming. Stay tuned.

Are you ready for the image now?

You will never be ready for the image.

Here it is:





Good luck, and may the best weirdo win.

I made a legitimate attempt to figure this out, but after viewing the results of several different internet searches for various iterations of "demon lizard baby", I have to throw in the towel. And then I have to throw up.

Wow, I have no idea. I just spent like the last 45 minutes of my work day trying to figure it out, and I came up with nothing.

And I pretty much never want to look at that again.

But I AM excited about Holiday Cards!

At first I thought you somehow got ahold of my old baby pictures. Then I realized that I burned those a long time ago. I believe that this is from the "V-The Final Battle". It's a little before my time, but my cousin has all of the "V" series on DVD and she has made me watch them once or twice :)

I am pretty sure this is Rosemary's Baby. Is that it?

Also, I CAN NOT WAIT for my holiday card this year
(even if there's no $5 bill). Last year I had you send it to my husband. Maybe we can get a couple's one this year?

When I googled "things that make absofsteel26 want to gouge out her eyes", this was image number 3. It of course came after the photo of A-rod hitting a homerun and the picture of The Octomom. After reading this post, image number 4 is now a shamrock shake. Thanks a lot.

Don't worry...you did not ruin shamrock shakes for me...someone throwing one up a few years ago had the same effect. Is it me or does the tongue look like a licorice robe forked at the end?

Sorry if that ruins another food for anyone.

Heidi A. said...

Sorry rope not robe.

Yeah, I agree with Roscoe. This is from V, if you do recall it was a twin and the other was all lizard like.

I just saw this kid pop out on an episode of 'A Baby Story' yesterday.

I chose to use my teaching time to show my seventh graders this lovely picture (it was a slow day) and they now all have a great new idea for a halloween costume! But the best part was that this was the class right before lunch...hehe
Thanks!
