    Silly geese.

    hehe. This was all over facebook yesterday, glad to see it show up here too. Its a delightful bit of utter sillyness. (Since passing it along to my friends, I know at least two of them have printed out a replica and put it up in their cubicles. I intend the same).

    Lest people miss it, do look closely at those tabs!

    Tight. Saw this on #whitenoise earlier. ‘sup Squalor.
    Why didn’t I think of this? Too many reasons.

    I like the one where someone pasted a picture of rapper/actor Ice Cube over the Ice Cube dispenser at a food court :P

      The person who stocks the soda machine at my workplace has a sense of humor, among the machine’s decor is a photo of Ice-T over the button to purchase Iced Tea. :P

    I can only look for him with my hands.

  • wanderingstan

    Too awesome. I created a pdf of the poster, if you want to play along in your own city: http://wanderingstan.com/lionel.pdf

    In my opinion, Lionel Richie is beyond ridicule and comedic reproach. I mean, the dude totally sang “BRICK HOUSE”!!

    • Anonymous

      Walter Orange sang lead vocals on the Commodores 1977 hit “Brick house.”

    • TheCrawNotTheCraw

      Agreed. “Brick House” is irresistible/delectable.

      BTW, and on another subject, I thought the picture was of Eddie Murphy’s “Buckwheat” satire from SNL. The similarity is disconcerting.

  • Jelf

    Apparently, Lionel has recently converted to Islam and is about to realise his lifelong dream of opening a butchers shop.

    He’s calling it ‘Halal – Is it Meat You’re Looking For?’

    • skeptacally

      other than the searing pain of shooting orange juice out my nose, you seriously made my day. er… comically made my day.

  • spejic

    Oh, god, Lionel. You have been hurt. You have been hurt by somebody, that much is clear. Who hurt you? Who hurt you?

    Who hurt you?

    Everyone, please check your ceilings.

    Actually, it was all over Facebook after I posted this photo (which I took in the Cabbagetown neighborhood of Atlanta) on my Facebook wall, Feb. 24. The creator contacted me, and wants to stay anonymous but is tired of the grade-B knockoffs, so he has made the original poster available for all at:

    I believe I saw him dancing on the ceiling.
