Those damned Gifts

What's Mallard raving about today?

Gifts, Revenge.

Why does it not surprise me that Mallard is an expert on this subject.

Couldn't think up an actual "gift" to counter the singing catfish, huh, Batshit? Yes, why bother trying.

Next up: "What's the deal with fruitcake, amirite?" or "Booze makes egg nog (and family) almost tolerable!"

anyone remember the videos of hacked singing fish? get a maker (someone who reads make magazine) one of those and watch what they do with it.

ianmorris, I hear if you take the electronic brain out of the singing fish completely, it starts reciting Mallard Fillmore punchlines. The trick is to leave in the part that talks.

"Why put any kind of thought into a gift? A bottle of delicious booze is all anybody really needs!"

As far as revenge gifts go, How about this? It'd be impossible for the recipient to one-up with something more hateful!

Rootbeer said...

I agree, I guess? Hard not to, with a tautological statement.

What a sad, angry world this "comic" inhabits!

And once again, we get a glimpse into the poor, sad life of Bruce Tinsley.

Bruce- people don't really give "revenge" gifts- at least, not oftren. And not happy, well-adjusted people. When most people get a gift they don't like, or even hate, they either decide "well, I guess Bob and I have different tastes" or just stop exchanging gifts with that person.

Verification: CATRAPT- what Mallard Fillmore is a load of.

My family has a white elephant gift exchange, and every year, whoever got the singing lobster last year brings it back. And that's half the fun of the whole event! Trying to guess which of those cleverly wrapped presents is the lobster ... the laughter when your aunt or cousin or mother finally opens it ... we love it. But it doesn't surprise me that Mallard is unable to experience joy.

WV: aright. "Aright! You got the lobster! ... Baby, won't you take me on a sea cruise!"

People having 'fun' and enjoying their holiday? THEY MUST BE CRUSHED!

It just occurred to me, Bruce is almost a caricature of He-Man villains.

kaitlyn said...

Yes, nothing says "revenge" like wasting money and time on a gift everyone will hate.

Who has money to be petty this year?

Wait a minute - HOLIDAY gifts???? What kind of Conservative is this duck!
