Guys Without a Face


1. And now, 30's-style fashions to go with our 30's-style economy.

2. "Well, Mom, maybe your last minute display of piety and face-covering will spare you an eternity in Hell, but we're still gonna stone you to death, infidel whore!"

3. "Because you're ugly and we're ashamed to be seen with you, that's why." Joy Behar's kids inherited her wit and class.

4. Next week on Our Gang, Spanky and Alfalfa dress up a broom as their mother so they can sneak into a strip club.

5. "Gee, thanks for the outfits, mom. Should I just bugger Jeffrey here, or wait till we get home?"

the Invisible Man luckily didn't have to display his painful teen problems like acne or unwelcome erections in front of everyone.

Best of Jack Reacher
The boys hoped that the headless apparition would distract attention from Timmy's man-purse.

Best of MattKostume
The boys hoped to win Shirley Temples affection by giving her a faceless wraith.

Best of Silhouette
Page 12: 1930s Handbook for Orphans. "When situations absolutely demand an adult be present, the ingenious young lad can easily fashion a "mother" from old clothes and a mop."

Best of prince of leaves
J.R.R. Tolkien meets John Steinbeck in the period crossover hit, "The Grapes of Wraith".

Best of Carpe Phlogiston
Rod Serling once wrote a TZ meets the Hardy Boy's mystery, but The Curse of the Invisible Granny with a Giant Melanoma Tick from Mars on her Neck never caught on.

Best of dub
Timmy and Johnny are completely unaware that they have no chance of getting head from this woman.

Who knew the invisible man was a drag queen? Timmy & Mikey knew.

Members of the International Paperboys and Headless Women's Local #36 prepare to go on strike.

Don't tell me about no 'recession'! Why, when your Uncle Timmy and me were kids, we were so poor, our mom didn't even have a head!

The 1934 remake of "The Legend of Sleepy Hollow" didn't quite work.

The Democrats' latest ad campaign, "Everything Effing Sucks, Just Like It Did In The 1930's And Maybe For 5 Centuries Before That Too", was filmed in black and white for added effect.

By 2011, signs of individuality were discouraged, and plain jackets signifying a willingness to fit in were highly prized.

mega said...

The requirement that Samuel Jackson be in every new movie led to a sad fiasco on the set of "Three Stooges: The Early Years". Calling an old black guy with his face covered "Curly" did not exactly help on Rotten Tomatoes.

MattKostume said...

"Back in my day, we were so poor we couldn't afford faces, and we LIKED it!!!"

MattKostume said...

Billy and Jimmy were a couple of dreamy hunks. But to Rosie, they didn't even know she existed.

Jimmy's parents said he was too young to marry the Witch-Princess of Angmar. Undeterred, they stole a fell beast and eloped to Vegas.

Damn it Beaver. How many times have I said not the brown acid?

Carpe Phlogiston said...

Oh, no, Timmy! Ma's used too much vanishing cream on her face again... the danged thing just took off thataway!

Weekend at Bernie's was originally set in the Depression, with two kids dodging work in a sweatshop by dragging dead aunt Bernadine around, alleging she's in mourning from the loss of her husband, Walter.

Young SOTG to young V da K; "Sheesh, V; since we got it at Old Navy, you'd a thought Dawn's head wouldn't a exploded THIS time..."

Submariner said...

I dunno about this, bro. This really isn't much like the outfits Mom usually buys...

MattKostume said...

With Aunt Jane, there was no real way to know if the 'carpet matched the drapes'.

Ichabod couldnt beleive she agreed to be his date to the prom!

MattKostume said...

Well, the family secret was out--there was no chance now to save face.

MattKostume said...

All your face are belong to us.

Horace and Todd had a new respect for uncle Oliver. They had always before considered his "I'm gonna rip yer face off" threats to be idle ones...

MattKostume said...

Bobby: Did you hear the hockey game at the leper colony?

Timmy: Yeah, there was a face off in the corner!

Aunt June: Very funny. I'm standing right here...

From the Day of the Triffids blooper reel:
The director promised a role to an ingenue; so, here she is... pretending to be a plant. FWIW, months later, she made back-to-back cameo appearances in the original "Knocked Up" and "7 Pounds."

"I've got that outfit", AoM mutters to her computer screen, "but I wear it much better."
