I got a pm from a "Fantastico Girl" - 'cause I'm awesome.

[Toastburner B]

I got one, too.

That means we can summarily dismiss this particular spambot's opinion of intellect.

I was described as a sexy intellectual by this unknown vixen of the net. 1/3 of my posts since returning from the abyss are about novelty spoons.

Girl's got taste.

Anyone who hasn't gotten a PM, you're SOL, 'cause BANT. You leftovers are Not Awesome.

Not to say that I'm making a whole lot of sense here either, but in my defense I'm not exactly thinking too clear at my end of day.

Don't worry, trying to include way too many impossibly vague connections in one joke is something the average New Yorker comic artist does all the time.

Observe:



The reader is asked to:
1. Read the quote and relate it to the cat in the picture.
2. Realize that this is the Cat in the Hat.
3. Realize that for whatever reason he is missing his hat.
4. View the ladies exclamation as one of anger and dismay.
5. See the policemen escorting the Cat in the Hat without his hat.
6. Connect that he has apparently done something criminal to be escorted by the police.
7. Connect that the lady told the police that the vandal which committed the crime against her was wearing a hat.
8. That the vandal was the Cat in the Hat who is not currently wearing his hat.
9. That the police will maybe doubt the woman's testimony that this is indeed the correct cat because she said he was wearing a hat and now he is not.
10. Blow out their brains at this incomprehensible mess of a joke attempting to be made here.

Moral of the story: no matter how horribly you scramble a joke, you can't do worse than people who get paid hundreds of dollars for their incomprehensible comics.

EDIT: Oh, no, wait a sec, she means that they brought the wrong cat because the cat that committed the crime was wearing a hat. Or something. I honestly don't know anymore.

Anyway, my point stands because it took me way too long to get this joke, which means its a bad joke. But people have complained about the New Yorker for years.

That IS what she's saying.

The joke is that she said "He had a bat" to the police, who misunderstood it as "He had a hat" and then arrested the cat in the hat.
