Threadless + Havaianas contest!

Screen shot 2010-07-15 at 6.14.52 PM

I was clicking around on Threadless a few weeks ago and noticed their cool new “Living in Harmony” dual guitar design (acoustic? electric? how about both). I tend to be lamely paralyzed by indecision when buying clothing online and didn’t get it then, but serendipitously now the folks at Threadless have contacted me with a sweet little promo contest for you guys!

Fuel/Friends has a prize pack to give away containing the tshirt design by artist Josh Perkins, and matching Havaianas flip flops as well. You may or may not wear them together, depending on how completely dedicated to the idea of musical fashion you wish to appear.

TO WIN! I know this might cause you to groan, but you need to find a great joke to leave in the comments for me — one that makes you laugh out loud. The other night on a bicycle pubcrawl, I was talking about jokes and how hard it is to remember them when needed, and I realized I need some new fodder. Here’s my latest favorite: How do you get 100 Canadians to get out of a swimming pool? You say, “Please get out of the swimming pool.”



And because I like this song, both the original electric and this acoustic re-interpretation:

Reptilia (acoustic Strokes cover) – Howie Beck

    Guy – “Yeah, my friends call me The Iceman.”

  • A woman walks into a bar. The bartender asks “What can I get you?”
    The woman says “I’ll have a double entendre.”
    So the bartender gives it to her.

    (delivery note: It sometimes helps people get it if you put some extra emphasis on “gives it to her”…you can even do a little subtle motion with your fist if you think your audience is a little dense.)

  • Two Cajuns are walking down a dusty road one afternoon when they spot a dog under a large shade tree. Having walked a while they decide to stop and watch the dog as he begins to lick himself where dogs like to lick themselves.

    After a few minutes Beauregard says “Boy, I sure wish I could do that!” His friend Thibodeaux shakes his head and replies “Mannnnnn, that dog would bite youuuu.”

    Me: I don’t know. What?

    The first guy says, “Well, I’m an astronaut, so I drive a Saturn.”

    The second guy says, “Well, I am a pimp, so I drive a cheap Escort.”

    And the third guy says, “I got you both beat. I’m a proctologist, so I drive a brown Probe.”

  • A man sits down at an empty bar and orders a drink. The bartender hands it to him and then turns his back to clean some glasses. The man sits and nurses his drink, eats some of the nuts that are sitting out on the bar and then he hears a little voice say “I like your shirt!”

    The man looks up at the bartender and says “Uh, thanks?” The bartender doesn’t look up from his work.

    A few more minutes pass and the man hears the little voice again. “I like your glasses!”

    “Thanks, I guess,” the man says to the bartender’s back.

    A few more minutes pass and the man hears the voice one more time. “I like your hair like that!”

    The man puts his drink down and addresses the bartender. “Look, man, I’m flattered, really, but I don’t really swing that way.”

    The bartender finally turns around and says “I haven’t said a word to you.”

    The man is confused. “Well, who has been talkin’ to me?”

    The bartender answers “It’s the nuts. They’re complimentary.”

  • A little long but very memorable

    A frog goes into a bank for a loan and sits down at the desk of Mrs Wack, a loan officer. He tell her he needs a loan. She asks how much and he say one million. She says there is no way a frog can get a loan like that. The frog says “maybe you should know my father is Mick Jagger” She says it doesn’t matter who his father is, you will need some colateral for a loan like that. So the frog reaches into his pocket and pulls out a small ceramic elephant and shows it to her. The loan officer say she has no idea what that is and she will have to go ask her boss. She goes into her bosses office and says that there is a frog in her office who wants a loan of a million dollars. She tells her boss that the frog said his father is Mick Jagger and then for colateral he showed her the elephant. She says to her boss “I don’t even know what that is” and the boss says “Well thats a nick knack Patty Wack give the frog a loan, his old mans a Rolling Stone”

  • OK- Here’s two blondes and a bar joke

    Why did the blonde bring a ladder to the party?

    She heard the drinks where on the house.

    A blonde walks into the library and says to the librarian, ‘Can I have a burger and fries?’
    ‘Sorry, this is a library.’

    So the blonde whispers, ‘Oh, may I have a burger and fries?’

    A lady walks into a bar and says,” Barkeep, gimme a martooni.” The bartender goes back and fixes her a martini. She downs it and says, ”Barkeep, gimme another martooni.” So he goes back and fixes her another martini. She downs that, and just sits there and doesn’t say anything. Finally after about 10 minutes bartender says,” Would you like another?” She says,” Oh, no, I got this terrible heartburn.”

    The bartender says, ”Okay, there are three things wrong here:
    Number 1: It’s martini, not martooni.
    Number 2: It’s bartender, not barkeep, and
    Number 3: You’re not having heartburn, your boob’s in the ash tray.”

    yuk it up !

  • Harold loses for using a joke that YOU told HIM? My memory may be a little hazy from ingesting all that brake fluid, but I coulda sworn it was the other way around. This is rigged…rigged I say!

    I think the Nickelback fella should have won, cuz that’s funny AND true. :-)

  • I know the contest is closed but I just figured out how to unzip the Fuel Friends Summer Plunge on my puter and am loading it into my truck for cruising in the oppressive heat while searching for the perfect ice cold beer with Salsa and Chips today. I can not let a joke contest go by without chiming in even if a winner was already announced!

  • A couple of New Jersey hunters are out in the woods when one of them falls to the ground. He doesn’t seem to be breathing; his eyes are rolled back in his head. The other guy whips out his cell phone and calls the emergency services. He gasps to the operator, “My friend is dead! What can I do?” The operator, in a calm soothing voice says, “Just take it easy. I can help. First, let’s make sure he’s dead.” There is a silence, then a shot is heard. The guy’s voice comes back on the line. He says: “OK, now what?”

  • So, there’s this cowboy that’s been out driving cattle for months in the hot, dry desert. It’s been a miserable drive. His ass hurts, they ran out of whiskey on the first week and they’re going on their eighth week now. They eat the same thing, every day, and most importantly he hasn’t seen or been with a woman since long before he left.

    Finally the drive comes to an end and the cowboy has two things on his mind. Booze and women.

    So, he walks into a saloon, and it’s basically just him, the bartender and this woman, so he’s thinking “alright, this looks promising”. He sits down, a couple stools down from the woman, and orders a bottle of whiskey, and almost as soon as he does the woman scoots down closer and is kinda looking him over, so he’s drinking and feeling good.

    The woman, looks up and asks him,..”are you a real cowboy?”

    The cowboys like, “well, I drive cattle, I ride a horse,..yes m’aam, I am”.

    The woman kinda smirks, and says “well, I’m a lesbian,…do you know what that is?”

    And the cowboy, scratches his chin and says no, m’aam I don’t believe I do.”

    So, the woman explains, “well, all day instead of thinking about men, I think about women,…a nice ass, a nice pair of legs, etc, etc,….I can’t get women off my mind”. She smirks again, finishes her drink and leaves the bar.

    The cowboy pours another drink, and is obviously very confused.

    A few drinks later a tourist couple walks into the bar, and sits at the bar as well, and they look at the cowboy, then look away nervous, and they do this for a while until they finally work up the courage to ask,…”sir, are you a real cowboy?”

    The cowboy, sighs, picks up his drink and says, ” well, I always thought I was a cowboy until today. Today I found out I was a lesbian.”
