Default The Worm - GROSS! ...and a little smurf intervention

Ok, there's an ad that keeps coming up at the top of the forums with an apple and a worm. I hate to be all girlie and whatnot but it's GROSS! It's making me sick to my stomach and ruining the taste of my wonderful chicory coffee.

I agree about the worm - I keep having to double-check my beer (and by beer in this case I mean Coors Lite).

I vote for the Smurfs... especially Smurfette...

Hey minstrel, I ran into somebody. I pulled her in here to show her your post (hope you don't mind). She has something to tell you...



She has a certain opinion that could potentially damage your view of her though. I probably should keep this confidential but you have a right to know...She has been known to say "Down with the yellow 'toons!!!" This could be a problem...

Indeed...

However, I think we can work with her - a snip of the corpus callosum here, a touch of a frontal lobotomy, a keg or two of prozac... and then a large box of donuts and a Flaming Moe or two. She'll come around... ;o)

They really could have found a more 'tasteful' way to do that ad.

The worm has got to go! Quick, get Rocky, he'll need the bait this summer! :)

(Mental note: this Aussie woman knows too much. Have her taken away and flogged by 'roos.)

Beware: do not wake the sleeping Evil Homer, for he has donuts and doh's and it takes much to appease him.

Addressed over at ~~> http://www.webproworld.com/viewtopic...7679&start=399

But for the sake of thread here ~~ Is it just me, or has anyone else noticed that the worm crawling out of that apple in the ad that frequents the header here of late, is not that typically found to grace the innards of an apple. But... is instead a night-crawler! (a.k.a. a variant of the Earth Worm) AND, not only is it an earthworm, given the fact that it has all those nifty little polka dots all over it, a trait I've never seen professed in the tens of thousands of them I've impaled on fish hooks, it would appear in fact an artificial earthworm too! What is truth in advertising coming too these days!

Leisa...

You're not, by any chance, part of the South Park team, are you? Your Rocky looks like one of the parents on that show... ;-)

I have to say that Leisa is really good.

She brings a whole new deal to the fourms and is very funny also.

And I love the picture of Rocky but you left the gray out of the hair.

ha! No...maybe we should be asking Rocky if he's made any special guest appearances on sick and twisted cartoon shows lately?

Regarding the meds...You know, that stuff grows on trees in Leisa Land. It's amazing! but, uh, wen, *nudge, wink* watcha got over there? A sample perhaps?

Aw shucks on the other comments. :) It made me blush. About the gray hair...well, when I tried to edit it, poor lil rocky came out looking all evil and such. So...hmm?
