“BOOBS!” Really, that’s all I got right now. Yay boobs!
@little stripes: Yeah, that’s really all you could get out of that photo.
@courtarro: Ms. Oakes seems fairly comfortable with herself, which is really all that matters. As far as that debt goes, she should start hanging around here! There are some great posts that would help her kill that.
@novacthall: @courtarro: Really, I’m okay with that!
@novacthall: I’m down with both suggestions.
@little stripes: word. boobs all the way.
@little stripes: Yes, and she’s quite a nice looking gal as well.
But yeah, nice set.
@battra92: And in checking her other pics, too bad she’s stealing campaign signs. Sad really.
(Sorry for the double post)
@battra92: She’s one of those highly intelligent people that we all someday hope to be. Here is some political commentary, that I found, wow, breath taking
@Bladefist: fox news wasn’t interested in my offering of expertise.
i feel so honored to have drawn the ire of the mighty bladefist.
@Bladefist: What a surprise, Bladefist making another sardonic post regarding politics. I really hope you’re just a master-class troll, since thinking you walk around, living with that mentality day after day is really troubling to me.
@concordia: Interesting that you have a bigger problem with Bladefist than with his (legitimate) critique.
@InfiniTrent: seriously. methinks concordia to be a blazin libbie. sad, such a waste.
@Bladefist: smacks of satire to me…
@little stripes: You think as I do.
As for the last photo, is someone going as Heath Ledger? Too soon?
@Git Em SteveDave loves this guy–>: Maybe a bit soon, funny though.
@Git Em SteveDave loves this guy–>: Hahahahahahahaha!
@Git Em SteveDave loves this guy–>: LOL, no , not too soon.
@Burgandy: I should have spirit glued some pill blister packs to the side of my face to look like that photo instead of smearing some ink under my eye and going as a guy who got beat up:
@Git Em SteveDave loves this guy–>: …what happened to your teeth? is it a false tooth set?
@Gstein: My Ex knocked them out 4 years ago with a plastic pool egg toy. Trust me, the negatives totally outweigh the positive aspects, i.e. having a realistic costume.
Ms.Oakes is Hot.
@roshambo: Umm…
@lannister80: Ummm… indeed.
@Negative: +1
That cow one is awesome!
@midwestkel: The first one or the second one?
@Negative: OK, that was better than the Heath Ledger joke!
@Burgandy: That cow is HOT!
@midwestkel: you mean the one with the credit card in the mouth? HAH!!! (I kid, I kid. not really)
She does indeed have very decent APRs.
I laughed way too hard at that Ledger joke.
Argh, so many Visa & MC cards. Where’s a pic of a Diners Club card when you don’t need one? For that matter, has anyone ever actually seen a Diners Club card? I remember Telly Sevalas(sp) hocking those on TV as a kid…strange stuff!
@admiral_stabbin: I saw one not that long ago at my parent’s house. What I didn’t remember was how ridiculously large they were.
@admiral_stabbin: acording to [en.wikipedia.org] they aligned with MasterCard in 2004, and were completely bought out by Discover and Citibank in 2008.
Go charge some groceries honey, and be sure to get ‘em in a paper bag.
@umbriago: That was hilarious.
That’s some hot credit card-eating action.
Good thing she’s on our side! ~eats bagel~
Anyone else get a stern lecture from their boss for having that image up in their browser?
@tmlfan81: I showed my boss my avatar pict. After that, I doubt there is one thing I could have on my screen at work that would shock him more than it.
@tmlfan81: Not yet but since the picture is linked at the top of the page, its only a matter of time.
@Meggers:
Good grief, this is the first time I’ve gone to the site today sans Google Reader – that image is haunting me. It’ll be burned into my mind as I sit in the unemployment line.
/works in an office of 90% women.
@tmlfan81:
No. Because it’s 4:50 on a Friday. My boss is long gone. I could have donkey porn up and nobody would care.
@madanthony: well… do you have donkey porn up?
wow. And I thought seeing Dov Charney’s photo was gross…
That’s one of those major hooters on a less than average face kinda deals. I could just tape off that top NW corner of the pic though *reaches for jergens*
@banmojo: the eyebrow ring kind of ruins it for me
“racked up” is right! damn!
ohhhh… that picture has a citi card in it…
Never look a gift cow in the mouth? That’s how the saying goes, right?
…right?
Wow… even with the MySpace angle, that first chick is still ugly.
@mugsywwiii: mugsywwiii FTW!
These are mostly terrible photographs. Fail.
I just threw up in my mouth.
@autoclavicle: agree
