#jack in the box
I’m sorry but that’s fucking hilarious
spiritual successor to “this is just to say”
The first time I heard my parents swear, I was about 6 and my dad and I were buidling something out of two-by-fours in the garage and he hit his thumb with a hammer and, naturally, yelled “SHIT!”
I stared at him.
He stared at me, eyes watering.
“Now listen,” he said, forcing himself to remain calm as he held his rapidly-becoming purple thumb. “-That’s a word we say ONLY when we’re Really, Really hurt. Now go get your mother.”
And for an improvised moment of parenting, that was actually brilliant because I was a clumsy, uncoordinated child and was basically constantly falling, running into walls, knocking shit over and generally sounding like I was involved in a fatal accident in the other room, but now my parents knew not to worry unless they heard the reedy voice of a pained elementary schooler shrieking “SHIT!”
My teachers on the other hand, were significantly less appreciative of my father’s genius.
Hi I was raised by Mormons and my Education apparently still has holes: WHAT is the rest of the phrase “yippee ki yay”
The Original Quote, from the first Die Hard Movie:
“Yipee Ki Yay, Motherfucker!”
For years now I had been wondering about this! I’ve seen the movie Die Hard a few times on TV, but I guess they usually cut that line for censorship reasons. Between that and an old Jack in the Box commercial, when I hear the phrase “Yippee ki yay”, I instead usually complete the line with “mini sirloin burgers!”

BOO! If you aren’t a clown fan, I apologize because nothing prepared you for this marvelous drop. I just started working on a book called, “How to draw what you see” by Rudy De Reyna. Every time I work on exercises I cant just do whatever they ask me to do, I’ve got to do whatever my inspiration wants to do. The assignment was to draw a simple geometric cube. You can see it as the base box but, nope, creepy neon jack-in-the-box clown with button eyes. (coraline inspiro there) I really love the color pop of this one.
