Pull My Finger
I'm sure it came from watching too much Mystery Science Theater 3000 and being a single uncle, but man I love the "Pull My Finger Gag." It's not so much that I love doing it, though if I could fart on command there would be no stopping me. No, I like just eluding to the gag. Eluding isn't quite right, I'm right out there with it. Heaven forbid I ever find a photo in which someone is extending a finger. But the photo doesn't even have to be extended for me to make the joke. God bless Adobe and their fantastic product, Photoshop.
I did a photo a couple of weeks ago and posted it on Mt. Blogmore. It was of the photo you probably saw on all of the news programs, President Bush walking hand in hand with the Saudi Crown Prince. OK, when I see a photo like that, I'm doing something to it. I played up the gay angle. Hey, it was a choice.
Later, another poster, 25 Cent, suggested I do the "Pull My Finger Gag." Damn it! How did I miss that?!? I guess too many Gannon Guckhert photos had me going in a different direction. I hate missing the obvious, though.
My pledge to you, the loyal readers of the Globex Corporation Newsletter is that whenever a politician is seen pointing for no particular reason, I will use my Photoshop skills to insert cartoon style bubbles and do some variation of the "Pull My Finger" gag.
