Holiday Ecards

Christmas ecard with text: Santa might give more expensive gifts to rich kids but only because he knows they'll eventually trickle down to poor kids.

The first Christmas wrongcard for 2010 is here. And you'll see that I chose to avoid controversy and just stick to the basic themes, which is how I like to operate. If you aren't feeling the Christmas spirit yet, try a Christmas-themed snack - like gingerbread. Or a leg of venison.

Thanksgiving ecard with text: This Thanksgiving, let's be thankful to the US government for only supplying guns to calm, rational people with moderate religious views and opinions.

I'm not American but I live in Boston. Thanksgiving is a lovely holiday that celebrates family life with good food and confusing games of football. I don't like the tradition of forcing foreign male guests to sleep with all the old ladies present but it's your holiday and I respect local customs even when I don't understand them.

Mother's Day ecard with text: I dont blame you for anything, other than my inexplicable phobia of vampire geese.

This card is from 2010, which goes to show you how long I've been aware of the vampire geese cover-up. What? You haven't heard of it? Let me show you something. If you ever mention something that others haven't heard of, say this phrase, 'The mainstream media doesn't want you to know about _____!'. In this case, 'Vampire Geese'. Seriously, how have I not been invited onto Fox News by now?

St Patricks's Day ecard with text: Let's celebrate St Patricks Day with people who probably couldn't find Ireland on a map.

On re-hash Wednesday I like to post an older wrongcard, and today's is one for St. Patrick's Day. A couple of my mates will be going 'ouch' right now but I have a bottle of Makers Mark on standby to send them singing into the land of forgiveness. I know, right?
