Caption That Cover: Holiday Edition

So many people have written to me asking about the Dreamspinner ad running in our ad column. Some are dying to talk about it, some are asking me to create a thread just to discuss it, and some are absolutely turned off. What, a man with his pants down wearing some mistletoe around another area that may in fact be well hung is worth talking about?

You bet your sweet bippy. So with the generosity of Elizabeth, head of Dreamspinner, who sent me a big ol’ high res version of the cover so you can appreciate the pants mistletoe’d man in all his splendor, we have: Holiday Caption That Cover!

Leave your caption in the comments, and on Christmas Day, I’ll pick a winner. Said winner will receive a $50 gift certificate to the bookstore of their choice. Comments will close at midnight on Christmas Eve, Eastern Standard Time – I hear Santa needs to borrow those tightie whities for a trip round the world, you know?

Mad props and full credit for the image go to Paul Richmond, the artist who created this holiday wonderpiece. And oh, what a wonder it is. You ready? Come out with your pants down!

    “If that’s my present, I’ve been a very good boy!”

  2. Jennifer says:

    Though he had been hoping for a Red Ryder BB gun, Mitch decided that he’d much rather get his eye shot out by what Joe had in his mistletoe underoos.

  3. “You know Bill, with a package like that, I don’t need to look under the tree for anything else.”
    ——-
    “So, are we opening presents early then?”
    ——-
    “Aw Bill!  For me?  You shouldn’t have.  I can’t wait to unwrap it!”
    ——-

    Time to get my name on the naughty list….

    “When Santa comes this year, let’s hope he brings a belt with him.”

  6. Typ0 says:

    John immediately knew that mistletoe underwear were the gift that kept on giving.

    1. Come and trim MY Christmas tree!

    2. “That’s not what I call a subtle hint!” “Aww…”

    3. “The holly bears a blossom, white as the lily flower.” “Oh, great; now I’ve totally gone off the boil…”

    4. “Well, at least that’s better than the clover leaf boxers for St Patrick’s day…”

  8. Liza says:

    “With those holiday greetings and gay happy meetings” …Its The Most Wonderful Time Of The Year

    “Deck the balls with boughs of holly”

  10. PK says:

    Teehee!  I’m so glad that my favorite ad is getting the cover snark treatment.  I’ve got nothing to add to the already great stuff offered so far.  But thanks for the giggles.

  11. Jenswan says:

    Whoops, could you give me a hand, hon?

  12. This are so very awesome, but Elyssa’s made me snort my coffee (I know, I should know better by now) because it was so perfect for SBTB!

    Happy holidays, and to all a good night!

  13. Inez Kelley says:

    Mr Mistletoe is far better than Mr Cameltoe

    or

    I wanna fill your stocking with this

  14. “Wanna see if we can get our Wonder Twin powers to activate?”

  15. RebeccaJ says:

    Not a caption, but I can’t believe people are complaining about this cover. Doesn’t everyone hang mistletoe with their pants down around their ankles? Why it’s practically a tradition in our family!

  16. Lovecow2000 says:

    Ah! The lost painting “Ebenezer Splooge” by Norman Cockwell.

  17. Lovecow2000 says:

    “I hope that package isn’t just socks!”

  18. turtle says:

    while the wrapping may vary, good things come in all shaped and sized packages!

  19. Danny says:

    “Fine, I’ll do it this year if you’ll stop wearing those things. Tell me again, who kisses what exactly?”

  20. Katie says:

    And that’s when Bob believed that Santa Claus, was indeed real and had read his letter….

  21. AJane says:

    That’s Hanes® my way!

    or

    Jingle Bells indeed.

  22. anel viz says:

    It just wouldn’t be Christmas without hanging ornaments.

  23. Lori T-M says:

    Hot for Holly

    OR

    Hope your tongue sticks to this!

  24. anel viz says:

    Those carolers outside have sung through their entire repertory thee times, and they’re still hanging around. Do you think we should close the blinds?

  25. anel viz says:

    —God undressed you, merry gentleman.
    —That’s nothing. You’re just gay.

  26. anel viz says:

    Hey, Dennis! Where’d ya get the sucky underwear?

  27. anel viz says:

    It’s beginning to look a lot like… well, last night… and the night before that… and the night before… and…

  28. anel viz says:

    Wenceslas slipped down his pants. What a feast for Steven!

    With a wicked glee, Rick asked Jon to decorate the house. How surprised Jon was when Rick decided to admire his prickly ivy!

    Sometimes when the holidays felt like they were overwhelming, Stan looked around and Paul would be there, lifting his spirits. And more.

  34. Natalie says:

    I somewhat amused but mostly alarmed that a man of your age, A) can’t seem to make his pants stay up and, B) is wearing such ridiculously adorned tighty whities.

  35. Vicki says:

    Dont know about this cover but when my brother got married on Christmas, I bought him ho ho’s. Yes, there are men’s underwear out there that say ho ho ho on them and do indeed have holly.

    couldnt 28 – and no I couldn’t explain to my seven year old daughter why the ho ho underwear was so funny.

  36. Lola says:

    When Darrin asked Joe to help him to put up some mistletoe he didn’t know he actually meant THEY were going to use it!

    Spamword: Wanted49- For Christmas Joe wanted 49 more pairs of those tighty whities.

  37. darlynne says:

    Butch knew all about Vishous’s cursed left (or right) hand, the one on which he always wore a leather glove to avoid incinerating anyone. What totally blew him away as they decorated a tree in the mansion’s foyer was the sight of V’s holly-festooned tighty whiteys. Would THAT light up as well?

    from Santa Baby

    “Think of all the fun I’ve missed
    Think of all the fellas that I haven’t kissed
    Next year I could be oh so good
    If you’d check off my Christmas list”

  40. Alison says:

    “Santa really stuffed his sack full of presents this year…”
