As a general rule, TAPS, I try to avoid posting anything that's actually gross ...

So, therefore, you can pretty much safely assume there will always be a twist.

Perhaps so, Ann ...
After all, Charlie can be very persuasive.

Madamoiselle, you are a riot.   I avoided this post for ever so long because I was afraid that you had perhaps really placed  "Charlie" in a petrie dish or between glass slides for your microscope.

Charlie must be your lucky charm. James might fall under his influence. 20 more clicks are here. Thanks for playing.

Oh, I see, Franciscan.
I haven't watched very many episodes of the show ... I'm more of a Smurfs girl, myself.

Death Smith, you do know coitus has another meaning though ... right?

As in "coitus interruptus"?

Sorry, TallAndSkinny, Charlie finds that name condescending.

Ann, nothing will stand in the way of the love Charlie and I share ...

I just hope my boyfriend will understand ... when Charlie comes with us on our date tomorrow.

I love modern art, Aaron ...
In fact, I'd marry it if I could.

Charlie's not ashamed of where he comes from, Sunny.

Mademoiselle,
  Yeah, Mrs. Jetson only put it on in a limited number of episodes. She'd wake up with a raunchy looking morning face and, to handle a phone call in which her friend would see her face she'e quickly summon the face from the ceiling. After some small talk, Mrs. Jetson would inevitably sneeze and her friend would would look on in horror. But, she also would have it revealed that she was wearing a similiar mask.

Nice

lol Make sure to feed it.

 

Anywho, I don't know about that Times Square, I got Coitus from coin and then Quarter came to me afterwards as I was walking out of a library here in Alaska lol. That would be cool though if it was, it would add some symbolism that works well with the story.

I don't get the second joke, maybe it's because I live in the frontier of America and we don't get as much pop culture up here lol. Who knows!

 

Keep the funny comin' =)

After reading how "Charlie" came about, all I can say is
EWE! lol.

Um ... Mrs. Jetson mask?

I only remember the talking dog.

posted by Mademoiselle on June 8, 2006 at 1:14 PM | link to this | reply

I think we're looking
  at Charlie's Mrs. Jetson mask. The real Charlie is probably  in an unpleasant mood  right now, being observed [not to mention interrrogated] at Walter Reed Army Hospital.

That would be vocal impersonation, of course ...

As I don't much resemble him.

On a related note, Rumored ...
I do the world's best Ignignokt impersonation (at least, among girls).

A couple people here also mentioned noticing a resemblance to Ol' Drippy, Talion ...

I can see a little bit of Ogelthorpe, too.

Best show on TV, btw.

Well do you have the energy to sell Charlie on Ebay? LOL

Charlie looks like one of the guys from Aqua Teen Hunger Force. I hope you haven't blown any secret identities.

Well, it didn't have a face going in, Factor ...

at least, not that I knew of.

posted by Mademoiselle on June 8, 2006 at 9:29 AM | link to this | reply

Perhaps so, Ann ...
though the face doesn't bear much of a resemblance to Mrs. Schumacher ... she was nowhere near this attractive.

I actually used to maintain an entire blog devoted to my artwork.
