I got a little surprise today. I saw a screen-saver, and it's me.

[put out]

We had a brief power outage today, just long enough to make the computer reboot (sorry if there are incorrect terms, I'm a bit ignorant about computers). When everything came back up, it didn't show the screen-saver I expected (cute kittens, aww). It showed the entry screen for my 15 year old's IM. And the screen saver is me, my picture.

It was taken at a DU gathering. Instead of holding a beer (real-life) I am holding an axe. I have fangs (not real-life). Everything else in the original photo is cut out. Just me and my axe and my fangs. When I could get my jaws to shut, I about fell out of my chair laughing.

Did I mention, the axe is labeled "The Punisher"? I think I will command people to address me as "The Punisher" from now on and I may even start carrying an axe. If that child learns to photo-shop with skill, I am dead in the water.

Does this mean we need therapy? I am so going to use this on him.:D

edit: I'm not going to use the axe or use the therapy. But it's cool to have little something in the pocket, you know?

1. Could be worse!

Could have been a NUDE picture! :wow:

[put out]

7. Oh, that would be worse!

I wouldn't be given Tyra Banks' body, no no no. I would be given an autopsy photo. With an axe and fangs.

;-) Signed, The Punisher.

[Deja Q]

8. Real or photoshopped in a unique position or two?

:scared:

[put out]

10. No, it's a real picture. Just me with the "Punisher" and fangs.

I know that I must have showed him where the pictures were on this site. He just goofed around with it. I don't think he's that mad at me.

Not right now, anyway. But next time, I expect a mermaid's tail or an eye patch and gold tooth or something better. I am, after all, The Punisher.

Tenderly signed,

The Punisher

[put out]

11. Oh, heh, I get it.

An autopsy of me? Paging Mrs. Bates, paging Mrs. Bates...

Lovingly,

The Punisher

2. That is priceless!

You should print it out and hang it up.

(Best part: "...fangs (not real life)...")

:rofl:

[stevedeshazer]

3. Well, come on!

Where's the picture?

:evilgrin:

[redqueen]

4. That's priceless!

I can't stop giggling. :7

5. hahah

A friend of mine found one her kid did of her and it was labeled "She who must be obeyed."

6. I heard my son refer to me as Ms. Deville....LOL

[Debi]

9. You must print a copy and keep it.....

High School graduation will be coming up and it will be necessary to embarrass your child!

[put out]

12. Excellent suggestion. We shall preserve it.

I will present it to the child, when he comes of age. Then I shall preserve my gifts as The Punisher, if he chooses to use it without wisdom.

I may be becoming to be a SuperHero. I will let you know.

Signed, with all respect to mortals,

The Punisher.

P.S. I have photo-shop skills in development. Pictures bwa-ha-ha. The adolescent cannot compete with the photographs I have in my power.

[RetroLounge]

13. Come on, post it!

14. I have not developed my SuperHero powers thus.

The original photo comes from a spring-time photo. I am Put Out, from the great state of Kansas. Look for Liberal Kansans, in the month of May.

15. Now Put

if you try to bring an axe to our meetups I will have to ask Comer to disarm you.

And sorry, but the thought of you with an axe is really kinda funny :rofl:

[put out]

16. If I would do this thing at our meeting, I would have to allow mortals

to disarm me. Those axes are darned heavy, as you may know, and I can't just carry the axe around all the time. I am trying now to assemble a super group. So far, I have me, The Punisher.

Could I at least bring a tack hammer? Or a really cool stapler? Or scissors? Or nail clippers?

You must be flexible and versatile, when you are The Punisher.

Most Fondly,

The Punisher, now addressing herself in the third person

[proud2BlibKansan]

19. Nail Clippers

but only the kind that don't have the pokey thing that makes a great stabbing tool.

[uppityperson]

17. That is really good. Thank you.

My 17 yr old has posted a unflattering picture of me on a website, I am amused by it. No fangs but dang, I wouldn't want to meet me in a dark alley late at night. Good kids, aren't they? Good thing they know we have a sense of humor.

fangs (not real-life)? hahahahahaha

[put out]

18. So right.

Yes, the young one is really funny. Not much malice there. I would not want to meet me in the alley, either, what with the axe and all.

So, I guess I call evil parents with imagined super powers (or fairly good weapons) to be in the super group. Do we have among us Eyes in Back of Head? Have we a Selective Loss of Hearing? The Keeper of the Keys to the Vehicles? He Who Purchases the Gasoline? Those Who May Hear the Door Open and Shut?

Signed with great affection,

The Punisher (whose worst punishment ever was making the oppressed one spend the entire weekend with me, excepting obligations for mowing and team sports.)

Hard work, I tell you.
