Ask and ye shall receive. Redshirt wanted a Balloon-Juice poster to hold at the Pats game next week. And here they are:
This could be the John 3:11 or whatever it is for the New Millennium.
Redshirt, if you’re reading, see if you can do a special rush order to get it before next weekend. Contact Laura W for help if you need.
(H/T to de stijl for the idea)

That’s awesome. I may have to order one myself. All hail Tunchie!
P.S. Cole, if you’re reading this, pictures of Tunchie, please?

Wha? No H/T?
Actually the H/T probably belongs to Redshirt, but I gave him the bloomin’ idea. Handed it to him on a silver platter, really.

@asiangrrlMN: Except it would be funnier with OBEY. Or might just get him on TV. I guess either could work.
AhabTRuler
@Yutsano: Heh, you can have any slogan you like, as long as it’s ‘FEED’.
Just Some Fuckhead
Explain to me why one would hold up a poster of a cat with the word FEED under it at a pro football game. There may be some nuance I’m not getting here.
asiangrrlMN
@Yutsano: Exactly. But, I’ll buy anything with Tunchie on it, so what can I say?
Yutsano
@asiangrrlMN: Excuse me? Shouldn’t that be I’ll buy anything with Tunchie on it for you? You do exploit my mad money making ebil gubmint skillz like that. :)
Jumping in shower then fooding. Oh and supposedly it’s snowing but I haven’t seen any evidence of that yet.

@Just Some Fuckhead: I can’t figure out why one would spend several hours and several hundred dollars watching grown men give each other brain damage, but there may be some nuance I’m not getting here.
That being said, the boss made a request and I delivered. Everything else I leave up to the front office.
asiangrrlMN
@Yutsano: Yes! This is true. You will buy me everything with Tunchie on it.
I read that as “then fooling…” and immediately thought, “The Dawg is back?”
I want more snow. Wah.
Laura W.
@AhabTRuler: I love you. I really mean that. I just told DougJ that I’m still pissed that you wouldn’t put my favorite tag line on a mug.
;-)
And THANKS to Ahab who sized the graphics for the poster yesterday in record time. Without him, this shit does not happen.

Dayumn, that’s going to be brilliant!

You trollin’? John 3:16, bro.
West of the Cascades
@amorphous: Nah, he meant John 3:11:
“Very truly I tell you, we speak of what we know, and we testify to what we have seen, but still you people do not accept our testimony.”
So much win in there for someone carrying a Feed Tunch sign.

@Just Some Fuckhead:
It’s a play on the John 3:16 trope only instead of having the Biblical insider knowledge to know what John 3:16 means salvation-wise, you have to have insider Tunch knowledge of Tunchiness.
Admittedly, the fanbase of the two things is not exactly comparable, but that is what makes it way, way funny. I love super obscure references, which is one of the reasons my professional comedy career is measured in weeks. The other being multiple drug-resistant extreme stage fright resulting in near on-stage catatonia. Plus, I really sucked.
Yutsano
@asiangrrlMN: If that were true A) you know I wouldn’t be on commenting and B) the events would be listed in opposite order. :)
But now the shower is done so time to offer up my sacrifice to the Starbucks gods and get some fud as well. Be back soon.

This is a good thread. It’s allowed me to laugh for the first time in 26 hours. Thanks.
Yutsano
@SiubhanDuinne: How’s about a cross-country cross-Intertubes hug as well? I think after the last 48 hours we all need one.

The poster is good, but we need the real deal. I don’t think we have seen Tunch in TwentyElebenty. We need Tunch!

John: what would you think of making up a Balloon Juice bumpersticker, with Tunch (or Lily, optional) graphic and “I Support President Obama”.
I would buy a dozen or two and distribute among my friends; I think they would be popular with your other readers, lurkers, commentariat and pet lovers as well.
What does it say that conservatives can spew their views all over the cable and radio dial, and non-conservatives are afraid to put bumperstickers on their cars for fear of being keyed or having their car otherwise damaged?
Gabrielle Giffords was not afraid to make public appearances.
I want to show my support for my president, leader of the grownup party.
And finding other Balloon Juicers riding around would be teh awesome.
What do you think?
It’s time to get out there and engage in real life.
If my neighbors are driving Escalades that say “Freedom Czar”, I want my Tunch out there too.
Blackfrancis
Shouldn’t that say “FEET?”
Just saying.

I asked for a ‘Monkey Milk’ shirt in Dennis’ post from the other day. Hilarious logo!
Ridge
OK, you got me this time. Sent a small poster to my daughter so she will be reminded to feed her cats.
Thanks-

Youse guys are the best! Thanks Doug -Lawfirm -J. And LauraW, and my Mom and Dad and the Academy and gosh! There’s so many people to thank!
Really though, awesome. I placed my order, it should be here in time – pray the evil Patriots security does not confiscate it.
Hope I get on TV! Go Pats!
