Image macros that make you laugh, cry, or both.

Not a macro, but the highlight of my Xmas:

This is my 7.5 month old nephew Caleb reacting to getting a ball for his first Xmas:

I know it looks blurry, but he really did move with speedlines like that.

And this is why he was so excited as to lunge at it with super-infant speed:

He tried repeatedly and with great determination, but never did manage to Swallow Whole.

Awh, cute fellow! Love the speed blur there....

I evidently scored a coup. I bought a dry-erase board for one of my...well, she's substantially younger than I am, I was close to her dad when we were growing up, so let's called her a 'niece' rather than a cousin. She's in kindergarten, she's learning the alphabet...So I got her a small one (with washable markers and a little sponge-eraser, so she wouldn't be too much of a mess).

Now my cousin's telling me that was a hell of a present, because the intended recipient and her not-quite-two-year-old sister both hush, sit down, and start drawing and writing and erasing together. No fighting, running around, squabbling, or noise. Just...peacefully playing together.

Look what I got for Christmas!

NB: Yes it's an anti-Obama Cartoon, but it's also a play on the infamous Charlie Brown Christmas Tree. GOOD GRIEF, can't you see that? (I'm a big Peanuts fan, in case you didn't know.)

Wow, Tzor, I didn't think you could find another thing for me to hold against you.

(I kid. Mostly. Snoopy and Peppermint Patty are the only things good in Peanuts. Face it, it's a dated reference for you baby boomer tea bagger types.)

Actually that's one an unintentionally apt cartoon. With just a little magical hand-waving (ie talking about unemployment more than debt and putting Keynesians in charge of the Fed), we can boost confidence and turn our sagging economy around, but so long as the discussion focuses on the debt, any growth will be stunted and our chief executive will be unable to deliver on any promises.

I love how the Debt is all Obama's fault, when 3/4's of it are from Republican Presidents. Bush Junior put 1/2 of the Debt on in his 8years in office. Even with 1 trillion between tarp and the stimulus package, Obama is still nowhere near the almost 7 trillion that Bush added in his 8 years in office.

That's dark.

How do you write an entire book of protective spells and not include one for bullets? I'd suggest that the author be shot, but presumably he already has.

Plus, von Neumann nearly qualifies, having mastered calculus by age eight. Eight is still super young for child prodigies, though. You'd get a lot more results at even eleven or twelve.

By writing it before bullets exist.

Oh please. Metalsmithing predates written alphabets; people have been perforating each other with sharp metal objects since before we had any books at all.

Assuming the protective spellbook had something other than magic, in the world of spells, it's very easy to accept that swords /= bullets.

Swords may not be bullets, but it's really hard to argue that arrows aren't bullets, especially magically agumented arrows. A standard DUNE type shield should be a part of every wizard's protective ward set since the dawn of time.

All the Batman suits. With little pithy commentaries.

Of course he does. Picard's a dirty old man, Apple would never support the apps he would want.

Now for another image macro based on the above picture.

lulz, that picture is awesome.

This sounds like a TGD argument.

True in comics, way way way more true in porn. Ugly men only.

Stupid sexy Batman.
