"Yes waitress, that's right -- one coke, two straws."
Okay, you know the drill. Give me your best stuff. You haven't disappointed me yet.
My shameless dude friends have an advantage here with a photo like this. For decades Andy has systematically disarmed all my points of defense against juvenile humor, and he now regularly exploits me against myself. And Paul Atkinson knows that I can't resist a good poetic double-entendre. (As though his entry even qualifies to "entendre" status.)
Males. Are. Ridiculous.

CITY GIVES TERRORIST BRIEFING

Andy D:
"And now, my dear lady, at the end of our wonderful evening together, allow me to introduce you to something I like to call, 'Little Marcel Chevalier'!"
"Allow myself to introduce, myself" (appearing courtesy of Austin Powers)
"I'm sorry but as you can see, this Club is 'Members Only.'"
This is odd but occurred to me for the ad/slogan for a new perfume, "Omen": "Omen, where the big O meets the little men."
"Viagra -- keeping your little demons up at night."
"Dr. Jekyll meets Stuart Little"
"Honey? Please google whether the Fruit of the Lomb guys have a heretofore unreferenced fifth team member?"
"Boy did I make a mistake using that third wish on simply 'having a friend I can talk to!'"
"Yes waitress, that's right -- one coke, two straws."
"You say the devil 'went' down to Georgia?.... I say 'he still in Georgia...'"

Steven Taylor:
"Rock me, Amadeus."
Or,
Coming this spring: Abu Ghraib chic.

Technoprairie:

Me, as Al Pacino: "You want play with us? Okay, say hallo to my lil fren!!!"

Sometimes life is just so good. Sometimes it hands you something beyond your wildest dreams. I saw this building-sized advertisement within, oh, five minutes of arriving in NYC. I love that city. LOVE it!!
So there I was loving the city, getting in the way of pedestrians, snapping away photos, laughing out loud, just happy to be alive. Of course I had to wait for just the right moment where camera, oversized advertisement, and city worker were in perfect alignment. And now you have the fruit of my patience.
Life is good.

CITY GIVES TERRORIST BRIEFING
"And now, my dear lady, at the end of our wonderful evening together, allow me to introduce you to something I like to call, 'Little Marcel Chevalier'!"
The first thing that came to mind, and I don't know what it means was:
"Rock me, Amadeus."
Coming this spring: Abu Ghraib chic.
"A little more to the left. Ah, that's the spot"
By the way, my dh and I caught a little of the show on TV that the billboard is promoting when we were on vacation. And I have to say that your picture is way funnier than the show.
The threat of terrorism is larger and longer lasting than ever before.
"Stephen Donaldson"
Giant Phantom Luv-Nub Scrub.
Boom! Once again my poetry reigns supreme. Give me my prize, sir. Give me the prize.
"The hood is for maintaining my dignity."
Or
"When airport security checks finally go too far."
Andy--I am trying to figure out your insulting French reference...Marcel Marceau or Maurice Chevalier? Or some scary hybrid?
"KY Jelly...For the man inside all of us"
Is this still a family site?
First a note to answer the question -- Marcel Chevalier was, I believe, a notorious French executioner... Thus the big Marcel's introduction of "Little Marcel"...
Ok a couple more I've thought of!! This is too fun.
First is a just a twist on my original one that I think reads better -- "Allow myself to introduce, myself" (appearing courtesy of Austin Powers)
"I'm sorry but as you can see, this Club is 'Members Only.'"
This is odd but occurred to me for the ad/slogan for a new perfume, "Omen": "Omen, where the big O meets the little men."... I don't know.
Likewise -- "Viagra -- keeping your little demons up at night." (Various "4 hour" jokes occur to me here, but we'll go a different direction...)
"Dr. Jekyll meets Stuart Little"
"Honey? Please google whether the Fruit of the Lomb guys have a heretofore unreferenced fifth team member?"
"Boy did I make a mistake using that third wish on simply 'having a friend I can talk to!'"
"Yes waitress, that's right -- one coke, two straws."
"You say the devil 'went' down to Georgia?.... I say 'he still in Georgia...'"
Man, Andy, I've got egg on my face. Who remembers the names of French executioners? Although the Marcel Marceau/Maurice Chevalier hybrid could mime an execution while creeping out people singing about little girls. Just a thought.
Kudos on the 19 or 20 captions you came up with. You have revealed the kind of material that brings out your genius.
She makes a good point.
