I have the best ideas ever.
Especially when it comes to my family.
For example, this weekend I had the brilliant idea to take family photos on the beach so that we could make our own Christmas cards this year.
This idea was made especially awesome by the fact that I figured there was no reason to ask anyone else along to help because I could just take the pictures myself using a tripod, automatic timer, and the continuous shooting mode on my camera.
The idea became exponentially fabulous when I discovered at the beach that my camera doesn’t actually do that. At all.
Thanks to my awesomely fabulous brilliant idea, our holiday cards are just about done and have been narrowed down to one of the following options:
Awesome
Awesomer
More Awesome
Awesomest
Oh – and they were finch eggs.

My christmas cards last year said, and I am not kidding, “Snowflakes wouldn’t be so lovely if they were shaped like prostitutes.”

Yowsas. My vote is for “Mom’s Tits”. Now…for your next blog post…titilate us with “10 ways to make your boobies holiday card-worthy”. Cuz mine need help.

The 3rd one is a Scream! but if I got the last one in the mail, I’d be ROTFLMAO!!!

HA HA HA HA HA HA HA! Those are GREAT. HEE HEE HEEEEEEEEEE! While your cleavage *is* admittedly utterly (I could have said “udderly,” but I didn’t) fabulous, “This Holiday, Send Weed.” had me rolling on the floor.
Reply
You crack me up. Clearly you need a secondary camera. What a shame: an excuse for a new toy!
Reply
I really like the placement of the yellow trash can in the last one – brilliant! ; )
Reply
I’m with Violet—that last one was hilarious! And finch eggs? Really? Not “magic eggs” from Mrs. Grass soup?
Reply
Too funny! Classic. I really think you need to go with #3. Pearls at the beach, though? Come on now, you should have pulled out the paua shells!
Reply
I so want the weed card…where do I send my address?
Reply
Go with #3…it’s what everyone is thinking.
Reply
This gave me a laugh. And I think all your friends and family members would appreciate the boobie card.
Reply
Go with the tits or weed options – both rawk!
Reply
That last one made me squawk
Fantastic cards!
Reply
Without your commentary, you would have had my sympathy. Thank you for the laugh.
Mom’s rack looks awesome in the third photo.
Reply
i love to start my day with laughter. this, my friend, was exactly what i needed.

Reply
devin’s face in the great tits photo is especially funny. please squeeze him for me.
Reply
Oh totally awesome!
I say pick the guess who cards, then the recipient is truly surprised when they open it up and see your holiday sentiments!
Reply
The web site isn’t working. I can’t find the link to place my order. Please check with your host and get back to me, as it is already December 2, and I need to send these out soon.
Reply
Hehehehe you made me laugh! I wouldn’t know which to choose! The look on your faces on the last one is priceless though.
Reply
Absolutely classic. I love the last one the best. I needed the laugh this morning so thanks. By the way…you guys are a gourgeous family even in funny poses.
Reply
OOOOHHH!! I said the beach! Go look! I WAS RIGHT!!! Holy shit that NEVER happens!
Love the boobage pic…I better not let Misk see that…he’ll get ideas….ugh

wildbill: I wonder if my grandma thinks weed is funny…
Violet The Verbose: but did it make you want to track down A Guy?
gina: or a remote for my current one – which I found out later is only like $24.

Reply
Your tits do look fabulous. Crop that picture down to the clevage and send it out. Ho, ho, ho!
Reply
I say send both the tits and the weed. Just hilarious!
Reply
this is why i never even attempt to take family photos.
although having one where my boobs look as good as yours might be incentive enough. *drool*
Reply
HA! That was awesome. I vote for fabulous tits.
Reply
I love them all! I think the best cards are the ones that aren’t all posed and perfect. I am voting for fabulous tits.
Reply
This is freakin hilarious! Nice rack!
Too funny. Thanks for the laugh.
Reply
So Panera thinks ‘weed’ is okay but ‘tits’ is not? *giggling*
Reply
This was a scream. And does Panera have a problem with “teats”?
Reply
Heh, nice. I’d like some weed, too.
Reply
and you thought you needed help?
Reply
TITTIES!!
The baby I sit just wants to eat now….

These are great! I’ll have to send my wife this way via Stumble, she’ll love the cards!

I say cut and paste all of the cards together and call yourself the Picasso Family. Oh wait, nevermind, because if you do that, they’ll know you’ve had WAY too much weed already and won’t send any!
Reply
LOVE those! Cause you know, they are natural. No posing, no faking it. Just natural family time with lots of tits!
Reply
Those are hilarious. The sad thing is that most people wouldn’t even recognize the photos as being not right. They would send them with pride.
Reply
Hahahahahaa…my fave is the tits one – the caption made me snort!
Reply
The last one is great, but Christmas cards with palm trees in the background make me sad.
Reply
I want the tits card. Blown up. On a t-shirt. So that I can have tits, too!
Reply
I don’t even send out Christmas cards.
Reply
ROFL!!!!!! These are, by far, some of the best Christmas cards I have ever seen. I’m with 90% of the people who’ve commented… the “Mom’s tits” one would be my choice.
Reply
Good Lord, this is hilarious!
Reply
*SNORK*
I love the tits and the weed! Oh, and these cards are hysterical, too!

Absolutely AWESOME.
I vote for tits or weed.
Haha!

Kim: heh. sorry about that.
Finn: Dear Dad, Thanks for contributing to the gene pool. Merry Christmas, Your Daughter’s Tits
Yes. That should go over fabulously. LOL
Turnbaby: do you know how much stamps cost these days??
ali: yes, well, I’m not spending $1500 on an 8 x 10
Faiqa: *makes a check in the tits column* got it!
melanie: there is a fine line between “not perfect” and “OMG WHAT THE HELL?!?!”
Amy @ Milk Breath & Margaritas: thanks!
Turnbaby: actually, it’s technically just ME that Panera hates.

My god, those are hysterical!
Seriously though, the middle one is actually really good. It just needed a little editing: http://tinypic.com/view.php?pic=2hf2u5c&s=4
(if you have photoshop, take the original and go to Image -> Adjustments -> Curves, and adjust that a little)

I would like to place an order for 100 copies of the “Weed” card. You’re gorgeous, Miss Britt, but I don’t swing for your team. The husband on the other hand… lordie lord… LOL! J/K
On a totally unrelated stream of thought: I passed on an award to you. All the sordid details are in my blog.
Hugs!

Do man-boobs work for Christmas cards?
Or is that more a Valentine’s Day thing?

So here I was thinking I was BRILLIANT that I took my family out back and laid on the grass in my yard and took our photo.
You had to one-up me didn’t you?
And you lied at Avitable’s party! You DO have boobs!

Dude.
Your bewbs ROCK.
I had to pay a pretty penny to get mine to look half as good, dammit!

I’m so jealous. My card would have to say:
This Holiday,
Send Tits.

Love them all, but there is nothing like weed for Christmas. Actually, my favourite one is the fuzzy one. You all look so cute in that!
Reply
I’m feeling rather fuzzy myself right now.
This post seriously made my night. It’s even better than the meltdown photos that occur in *my* family.
Reply
I am CRYING over here!!!
Hilarious.
I’m voting for the “Send Weed” one. That’s a classy image.
Reply
Haha I love those. I love that Devon is trying to peek over the top in the last one. Too cute.

These are so funny I wouldn’t even care if they were all contrived.

Oh geezuz… seriously-laugh-out-loud funny.
