Bearman Cartoon: Ben Ruthless-Burger

American football star Ben Roethlisberger has seen better days. From leading the Pittsburgh Steeler to two Super Bowl wins to now being suspended for 6 games for violating the NFL’s code of conduct.   When Ben came into the league as a rookie he quickly became the savior for a much suffering Steeler’s franchise. Fans referred to him as “Big Ben” and restaurants began selling the Roethlis-BURGER.

Now, for the second time in his career, there come allegations of a sexual assault.   I won’t say whether I believe he is guilty or not. However, it is interesting that there were trade rumors so you have to wonder what the Steelers organization knows that they aren’t talking about that would want them to trade a proven leader on the field.

And if you think that I am just parodying a Pittsburgh player because it is a long time rival of my own Cincinnati Bengals, it is not true. When Chris Henry was having his issues with bar fights and other drinking issues, I told many people it doesn’t matter whether he feels he is wrongfully accused or doesn’t start the problems. You make enough money, keep yourself away from situations that might cause yourself problems.   Unfortunately, now someone who people had admired, has left a bad taste in the mouth of many who used to be a fan.

Guest Cartoon Rick the Stick

Ken Drab of the famous Rick the Stick cartoon has been doing a series of Rick screwing up words and phrases (see here, here, here and here). I thought what better than to have Rick perform some famously (and not so famously) misheard lyrics to songs. Some are easier than others. Can you figure out them all??

Wake up I might sit on you.
Wrapped up like a douche.
Carry a laser down the road that I must travel.
Let’s pee in the spotlight.
Dirty deeds, done to sheep.
My anus is the center hole.

What is your favorite misheard lyrics??

UPDATE – The answers are in order Click through.

Bearman Cartoon: Nicolas Cage Burial Suit

So actor Nicolas Cage has decided that despite his financial issues and inability to reign in his purchases, he would prepare for his final resting place the best way he saw fit. By purchasing a mausoleum in Louisiana shaped like a Pyramid.

It is no secret that old Nic fancies the man in tights either. He wanted to play the title role when the Superman franchise was remade and his fanboy love drove him to name his son Kal-el (Superman’s real name from Krypton). I am all for preparing so your family isn’t stuck with the bill and you can make sure your final wishes are fulfilled. But, couldn’t you sort out some of your financial mess first. I guess whatever he spent is just a drop in the bucket of the $14 million in taxes he currently owes.

Bearman Cartoon: April Showers…

Finally responding to Jill’s call for taking the phrase “April Showers Brings May Flowers” and showing what it means to me. In Cincinnati it is a well known fact that if you don’t have allergies when you get here, that you will once you stay for a while. Pollen season is going like gangbusters here already and my eyes are a little itchy.

And don’t forget to vote for the caption cartoon contest.

Health Care Cartoon Caption Contest

Ever since Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi stated so eloquently about the Health care Bill, “…we have to pass the bill so that you can find out what is in it…”, I have been questioning what exactly was in the bill. Now that it is passed of course the add ons are coming out. Included is a rider that now effectively eliminates the banks as a middle-man for student loans. Instead the loans would be provided by the government. Again this was in the Health Care Bill!

So what else do you think will come out that was hidden in the Health care Bill? Are you funny? We like funny? Submit your thoughts in the comments section. Next Monday I’ll post my favorites for all my readers to vote on. The winner will get a signed copy of the final cartoon and have their banner ad posted to the right for at least 2 weeks.

If you don’t have a banner ad already on my links page, why not? Send me a link or the banner (125×125). Don’t worry if you have a blog/site but can’t make the banner. If you are the winner, I’ll also make one for you.

Bonus points for people who promote this contest on your own blog, facebook or share via one of the social bookmarks below. (just let me know in the comments).

Remember, your entry doesn’t have to be anything related to health care. Also anyone know what is meant by a “Hidden Mickey” (the title of the toon)??

Bearman Cartoon: Daylight Savings Time

This cartoon was inspired by Jill at Elemental, My Dear Blog. She asked people to capture the phrase “march comes in like a lion and goes out like a lamb” in words or pictures. I of course think of March as the end of Winter and the beginning of Spring and of course Daylight Savings Time.

Not only does it mean I lose an hour in my day but it also means that it will stay lighter longer. All of which makes sense to me even though we aren’t farmers who need the extra light anymore. What kills me is actually in the winter when we push back the clocks an hour. All that means to me is that it is dark when I go to work and gets darker that much earlier so I come home in the dark too.

What’s even crazier is that some locales in the States honor DST and others don’t. So some cities that part of the year are an hour behind are now the same time. I always forget when which makes it fun for when I visit those cities for work. I am either on time or an hour late.

What are your thoughts? Any benefit to it anymore or should we dump the whole system?

What smells

New “duh” story about cannabis. People who smoke alot are more likely to have hallucinations. Study out of London says,

Young people who smoke cannabis or marijuana for six years or more are twice as likely to have psychotic episodes, hallucinations or delusions than people who have never used the drug, scientists said on Monday.

I must be so far removed from people I knew that used heavy drugs that I learned a new term. “Skunk” Seems this is a more potent form of the drug in its purest form which makes the above affects seven times more likely than your normal everyday pot.

Kevin Smith rides a Plane

This cartoon was inspired by recent events where actor/director Kevin Smith was unceremoniously booted off a Southwest Airlines Flight because they claimed he was too big to put the armrest down. He claimed otherwise but was still booted.

Now of course I exaggerated Kevin’s weight above but this brings up the bigger question. Should overweight people be forced to purchase two seats on planes where the seats are way smaller than they should be? I am sure that if you go back 50 years people were skinnier and airline seats were bigger.

But on the other hand, what about the rights of the person who paid full price for their ticket as well and had to suffer from someone invading their already small space. As someone who is over 6′ tall and broad-shouldered, I realize that my frame could impede a seatmate on a plane. That is why I have moved to window seats so I can scruntch that extra 2 inches towards the window.
