    Well, okay.

  2. invisible furry hand   12 years ago

    Since the 20th century Uncle Sam is a recruiting poster, this is not as great a contrast as Bok appears to think it is.

  3. Acosmist   12 years ago

    When Uncle Sam merely wanted you (to die in the trenches in Europe's dumbass war), that was ok. Is that the impression I'm supposed to get?

    1. Slammer   12 years ago

      Yes, especially since Original Uncle Sam lost his left arm to the Huns.

      1. invisible furry hand   12 years ago

        And that's why you should always leave a note

        1. Almanian!   12 years ago

          *SLAP*

          1. invisible furry hand   12 years ago

            *slap!*

            1. Almanian!   12 years ago

              Just horning in on your action...

              *rubs face*

            2. Rich   12 years ago

              *slap!*

    2. Fist of Etiquette   12 years ago

      The impression is that a century's time ruins your BMI.

      1. Banjos   12 years ago

        And gives you the want to have nose and ear enlargement surgery.

        1. Atanarjuat   12 years ago

          Those parts never stop growing.

          1. sloopyinva (previously -inca)   12 years ago

            Wait, so Uncle Sam is like Barry Bonds on the juice?

            1. Almanian!   12 years ago

              Barry just got big-headed after all those MVP awards.

  4. x4rqcks3f   12 years ago

    21st-century Sam has taken advantage of newer ear transplant technology, on one side of his head.

  5. Lord Humungus   12 years ago

    ha

    1. waffles   12 years ago

      ha-ha

      1. Almanian!   12 years ago

        If I were Sage I would say

        HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

  6. Almanian!   12 years ago

    I don't get it.

    Awful - therefore, perfect.

    Happy Friday, Reasonoids and Skwerlz.

  7. Bee Tagger   12 years ago

    Male lipstick shades have gotten lighter over the years.

  8. Slammer   12 years ago

    The modern top hat has a lid on it, which I kind of like.

  9. Swiss Servator, CH yeah!   12 years ago

    Is that Uncle Sam's slacker kid, not really happy about inheriting the family business?

  10. Flatulent Monkey   12 years ago

    Why is Joanah Hill picking his nose?

  11. Almanian!   12 years ago

    Wow - that second one you need a plot synopsis to be able to follow it...

  12. Suthenboy   12 years ago

    I thought it was the plot synopsis.
