*Cackles wickedly at the vegan prank*

I'm going to e-mail that picture to my vegan niece.  I already sent her a pic a couple of months ago showing a high school student whose yearbook photo had the caption that he was a vegetarian "because I hate plants."  Her response to that was, "Harumph! I do not agree!"

How to make that prank even better? (Well, maybe not with a blood-related victim, unless it just makes it funnier...)

"Uh, yeah, it was kind of awkward at first - you grabbed my collar and demanded I give you the beef with a mad look in your eye, then I realized you were just after my take-away."

I mean, I'm usually not one for teasing, but... hehehe. After getting panicked moos while eating a burger myself (basically, take the tone from the droid getting tortured with branding irons in Jabba's Palace in RotJ, but with "moo" instead of "no," then "moo-hoo-hoo" crying) that would be even better than continuing to mimic them back.

and lastly, what I like to call "Dumbass with a rifle"

That one with the bucket feels particularly relevant to US politics, though discussing which of several interpretations should probably go in that forum, not here. As for the last guy, obviously he should have taken that dude in From Dusk Till Dawn with a few more grains of salt. Good selection today!

Looking up the sandbox tree, I was astonished to discover it ISN'T native to Australia.
-----
Little-known fact:  "Australia" is actually an abbreviated form.  The land's full name is "AauuuggghhhhAAUUGGHHHHHstralia <whimper>."

IIRC that one is native to the southern end of Africa.

Also, there's a deeply appropriate irony to the American Crayon being made in Mexico.

... That's not 1978!Iron Man. That's Exo-Man, from 1977. He's not fit to shine Iron Man's greaves.

... That's not 1978!Iron Man.  That's Exo-Man, from 1977.  He's not fit to shine Iron Man's greaves.

That explains the poor job on "Ironman's" design.

He didn't even think to include an air supply in his armor, and nearly suffocated on his first test run (not even a battle) until he convinced a kid to hit the latch and open his visor.  Yeah, dumb.

“We’ve had our differences, but he’s seen the light … and I made sure he moved toward it, instead of coming back.”

[Bob Schroeck]

No, what's dumb is his "research project", which consisted of mixing batch after batch of random stuff to see if it would react to UV light in some magical way -- it was almost as if he knew nothing about chemistry or electromagnetic energy.

And then when a batch finally worked and he didn't know what had gone into it, does he analyze it to reproduce it and complete his research goals?

No, he somehow makes jumping metal dice into a power suit to beat up the people who killed his lab assistant.

[classicdrogn]

Wow... Who made that? Freakin' Ed Wood?

[Bob Schroeck]

It's a vintage 1970s "science fiction" TV movie/series pilot. Responsible individuals, from IMDB:

Directed by
Richard Irving
Writing Credits (in alphabetical order)
Martin Caidin ... (story)
Howard Rodman ... (story) (as Henri Simoun)
Howard Rodman ... (teleplay) (as Henri Simoun)
Lionel E. Siegel ... (teleplay)

Yes, that's the same Martin Caidin who wrote Cyborg, the novel that was folded, spindled and mutilated into The Six Million Dollar Man.

Anyway, we're off topic again for an image thread.
