Creepy Easter Photos 2024

In case you hadn’t realized it, Dear Readers, Santa Claus and Halloween clowns aren’t the only holiday figures that can boast unnerving images.  Easter bunnies hold a considerable share of macabre visages.  After all, what mammal besides a platypus do you know lays eggs?  Of course, the platypus is trying to procreate.  The Easter bunny seems to have more nefarious intentions – they hide their eggs and convince innocent little kids to look for them.  Who does that?!

And, if you aren’t sufficiently alarmed by these photos, here’s Liam Neeson adding to the trauma:

Happy New Year 2024!

“May all your troubles last as long as your New Year’s resolutions.”

Joey Adams

“New Year’s resolution: to tolerate fools more gladly, provided this does not encourage them to take up more of my time.”

James Agate

“Year’s end is neither an end nor a beginning but a going on.”

Hal Borland

“‘Out with the old, in with the new’ is a fitting expression for a holiday that is based on vomiting.”

Andy Borowitz

“Happiness is too many things these days for anyone to wish it on anyone lightly. So let’s just wish each other a bile-less new year and leave it at that.”

Judith Christ

“I would say, ‘Happy New Year,’ but it’s not happy; it’s exactly the same as last year except colder.”

Robert Clark

“If you want an interesting party, combine cocktails and a fresh box of crayons for everyone.”

Robert Fulghum

“He who breaks a resolution is a weakling; he who makes one is a fool.”

Farquhar McGillivray Knowles

“I made no resolutions for the new year. The habit of making plans, of criticizing, sanctioning and molding my life, is too much of a daily event for me.”

Anaïs Nin

“The proper behavior all through the holiday season is to be drunk. This drunkenness culminates on New Year’s Eve, when you get so drunk you kiss the person you’re married to.”

P.J. O’Rourke

“Tomorrow is the first blank page of a 365-page book. Write a good one.”

Brad Paisley

William Shakespeare

Mark Twain

“My New Year’s resolution list usually starts with the desire to lose between 10 and 3,000 pounds.”

“Youth is when you’re allowed to stay up late on New Year’s Eve. Middle age is when you’re forced to.”

Bill Vaughan

“Deep breaths are very helpful at shallow parties.”

Barbara Walters

“This New Year’s, I was going to make a resolution never to be late again, but I didn’t wake up until January 2.”

Melanie White

“Good resolutions are simply checks that men draw on a bank where they have no account.”

Oscar Wilde

“Making resolutions is a cleansing ritual of self-assessment and repentance that demands personal honesty and, ultimately, reinforces humility. Breaking them is part of the cycle.”

Eric Zorn

Merry Christmas 2023!

“I’ve learned that you can tell a lot about a person by the way he handles these three things: a rainy day, lost luggage, and tangled Christmas tree lights.”

Maya Angelou

“Christmas: It’s the only religious holiday that’s also a federal holiday.  That way, Christians can go to their services, and everyone else can sit at home and reflect on the true meaning of the separation of church and state.”

 “There are three stages of man: he believes in Santa Claus; he does not believe in Santa Claus; he is Santa Claus.”

Bob Phillips

“I love Christmas. I receive a lot of wonderful presents I can’t wait to exchange.”

Gifts the Chief Doesn’t Want for Christmas

You know the adage – it’s not the gift; it’s the thought that counts?  Or some poetic shit like that.  Anyway, I still feel the best gifts are cash, food or alcohol.  Yet some people don’t think normally and go off the rails when choosing gifts.  I’m one of those who don’t think normally – as my loyal followers well know – but at least I’m practical when it comes to gifts.

Still, here are a few things the Chief definitely does not want or need for Christmas.  Of course, I truly appreciate that thought, but again, cash or wine are better, along with a back massage and maybe even a good old fashioned obscene phone call.  Surprise me!

As always, I thank you for your ongoing support.

Snoop Dogg “From Crook to Cook”

For marijuana aficionados who want to expand their culinary horizons.

Oregon Trail Handheld Game

If you know anything about the “Oregon Trail” calamity, this could be the perfect gift for the burgeoning psychopath in your family.

Lerturdy Toilet Game Mini Golf

Anyone who spends this much time in the bathroom doesn’t need a golf set; they need a visit to a gastroenterologist.

Mollie Thomas Teeny-Tiny Trampoline

This actually might be good for us heavy-duty desk jockeys, but I just masturbate to relieve digital tension.

Vacation x Prince Ball Boy Scented Candle

In case you want that luscious smell of a sweaty man permeating the room.

CVS Receipt Scarf

Those of us here in the U.S. know how many trees are sacrificed each year for the sake of getting coupons you’ll never use.

Banorah

So the Jewish people in your life won’t feel ignored at Christmas, this banana-shaped menorah might brighten their days.

Joe Ryan Designs Excel Mug

I spend my week days scrolling through plenty of Excel spreadsheets!

RxGrins Knowitall! Gift Box or Bottle

Funwares Porta Potty Shot Glasses

These are perfect for Kahlua and amoretto.

Wine Condom Stoppers

Get your minds out of the gutter! They’re stoppers for half-finished bottles of wine.

Han Shan Unisex Fish Slippers

In case you don’t want to look too sexy taking out the trash late at night.

LYWUU Dachshund Shaped Silicone Ice Cube Molds

 “I Pooped” Bathroom Guest Book

Where was this during the COVID pandemic?!

Archie McPhee Emergency Underpants

You never know when you might need fresh underwear as shit goes down.

Accoutrements Bacon Strips Bandages

For those who’d prefer that chic pork look over their scabs.

WHAT DO YOU MEME? Menstruation Crustacean

Any man who gives this gift to the women in his life, must ensure his affairs are in order first.

KUHPLOVE Animal Backside Fridge Magnets

This might help some folks think of their coworkers before heading out to work in the morning.

Possum Flavored Candy Canes

I’ve eaten enough fast food in my life, so I don’t need any roadkill cuisine.

Self-explanatory.

On the other hand, here are some gifts the Chief would actually like!

Happy Thanksgiving 2023!

“If you stand in the meat section at the grocery store long enough, you start to get mad at turkeys.  There’s turkey ham, turkey bologna, turkey pastrami.  Someone needs to tell the turkey, man, just be yourself.”

Merry Christmas 2021!

“Let’s be naughty and save Santa the trip.”

Gary Allan

“I’ve learned that you can tell a lot about a person by the way he handles these three things: a rainy day, lost luggage, and tangled Christmas tree lights.”

Maya Angelou

“In the old days, it was not called the Holiday Season; the Christians called it ‘Christmas’ and went to church; the Jews called it ‘Hanukkah‘ and went to synagogue; the atheists went to parties and drank. People passing each other on the street would say ‘Merry Christmas!’ or ‘Happy Hanukkah!’ or (to the atheists) ‘Look out for the wall!’”

Dave Barry

“It’s always consoling to know that today’s Christmas gifts are tomorrow’s garage sales.”

Milton Berle

“Christmas is a baby shower that went totally overboard.”

“A lovely thing about Christmas is that it’s compulsory, like a thunderstorm, and we all go through it together.”

Garrison Keillor

“There are three stages of man: he believes in Santa Claus; he does not believe in Santa Claus; he is Santa Claus.”

Creepy Christmas Photos 2021

Silent night,

Holy night,

All is…CREEPY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Once again, my lovely readers, the yuletide season is upon us, and while most intact families celebrate the wholesomeness of the holidays, we must understand that some people just don’t fully comprehend what it’s supposed to mean.

Herein lies a batch of odd Christmas photos where the subjects just couldn’t get into the spirit or hope their placement on a sex offender’s registry would go unnoticed.
