Hallmark Fail

 

INSIDE:  I love you Stinky!!

 

So I figure if bschooled and I are going into the greeting card business that I should at least get some experience under my belt first.  On facebook I stumbled upon the Hallmark Greeting Card Contest page.  Their most recent contest had to do with food.  You needed to make a Birthday or Love card that incorporated food in some way.

So this was my entry.   And it failed.  Maybe it was too gross for Hallmark but my wife said she would buy it so at least I have one.  Or maybe it has been done before but I don’t think so.

For those who have no idea what the joke is, either you are of the 50% of the population who has pee that doesn’t smell after eating asparagus, you don’t eat asparagus, or you really smell and don’t know it.

Bearman Cartoon: Bad Dog

Today’s cartoon was inspired by a challenge by our friend Jillsy Girl to do a post inspired by childhood memories.

I remember my dad liking some crap that the rest of us couldn’t stand, yet we had to eat it because whatever mom made for dinner you had to eat.  Somehow my wife’s mom always let her have peanut butter and jelly sandwiches if she didn’t like what was for dinner.  Not in my house.  You had to take some of EVERYTHING…and eat it.

Well that was the plan anyway.  Thanks to our good old dog, I didn’t have to worry about eating all my liver or tongue.   Yes, my family was served cow tongue on occasion.  You know when you rush in from playing outside and are excited to see what is for dinner only to see a giant cow tongue boiling in water that it’s not a good night.  I can remember seeing the ridges on the tongue floating in the water.  Hated the stuff.  But the dog loved it.   It was a sly motion that you stuck the food in your mouth, coughed into your hand as you spit out the meat and then slowly reached under the table to the awaiting jaws of the beast.

Still, I could never get the fucking dog to eat my brussel sprouts.
