Caption That Cover: Holiday Edition
by SB Sarah | December 23, 2009 | Wednesday at 11:00 am | 201 CommentsSo 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!

“Sam unwrapped his Christmas package early this year.”
Too on point?
Ruzz02a said on 12.23.09 at 11:27 AM
Was that kiss under the mistletoe or kiss the mistletoe undies?

“My, my, aren’t those prickly briefs.”
micki said on 12.23.09 at 11:49 AM
May as well go retro with this, because 80 percent of you are probably thinking it, anyway (-:.
“Is that a candy cane in your pants, or are you just happy to see me?”

“Looks like Santa might be coming early this year”

“Holy holly! I’ll deck your halls, baby!”
(P.S. Isn’t that holly with the red spots?)

“You want me to kiss under THAT mistletoe”
SusiB said on 12.23.09 at 02:19 PM
Upon entering the room, the Occupational Safety and Health Administration representative screamed at the sight of the man climbing the ladder with his pants around his ankles - but then he grinned, admitting that the holly-patterned briefs were much too pretty to be hidden.

“Ooh! You got me a hard lollipop to suck on!” (or off). ;)
Spamword: Natural63- Okay, he’s big, but he’s not *that* big.

“Holly berry-spangled homoerotic subtext, Batman!”
“A visitation from the spirit of Christmas yet to come”
“Was Bernard really interested in him? The dropped trousers, the well-hung mistletoe, the sidelong looks were all suggestive, but Ben still wasn’t sure. Perhaps that really was a candle tucked into his red-trimmed, seasonal, yet strangely seductive underwear…”
Oh god, and now I have Christmas carols to ill effect:
“Doff we now our gay apparel, fa la la, la la la, ooh, la la!”
“The holly bares a prickle, as sharp as any thorn…”
“O come, all ye faithful…” (I’m very, very sorry, truly I am)
Also, with apologies to Walter de la Mare (and I know this is too long for a caption, but I can’t resist:
Sitting under the mistletoe
(Pale-green, fairy mistletoe),
One last candle burning low,
All the sleepy dancers gone,
Just one candle burning on,
Shadows lurking everywhere:
Some one came, and kissed me *there*.
(actually, my real problem here is that so *many* Christmas carols have verses that are downright filthy if you are in the wrong frame of mind, and I have been singing Christmas carols every day for the last week…
Noelinya said on 12.23.09 at 02:39 PM
Why settling for the lips when one can kiss a holly’s stick ?

Mala said on 12.23.09 at 03:18 PM
Maybe it’s because I’m a klutz, but all I keep thinking is, “With his pants trapping his legs like that, he is SO going to fall off that ladder.”
Have to go for the obvious: “Don we now our gay apparel.”
“I saw Daddy kissing Santa’s drawers underneath the mistletoe last night.”
“Talk about making the Yuletide gay.”
Edie said on 12.23.09 at 03:29 PM
“Dude I’d be blushing too if I was wearing those undies”

You know what would be awesome? If the artwork included a fireplace, because then we could have had a replay of “Chest, Nuts, Roasting on an Open Fire.”.

Josh wondered if he was being too subtle or if Dan would get the hint.
(really, nothing I can come up with [eep, pun unintended] can match Mr. Beau Dangles)

I love it, Mala, simple and seasonal.
Wait wait wait—this is an ADVENT CALENDAR? I need some time to rethink my caption…back later.

Mama Nice said on 12.23.09 at 04:51 PM
Not my caption - but did anyone else notice this is an advent calendar? Are you thinking what I’m thinking?
Ok, on to the captions!
“Looking over his shoulder, Craig couldn’t contain his glee. This year, it looked like being naughty was going to pay off big time.”
“Frank knew his horrible habit of forgetting to do up his fly was going to bite him in the ass one day…”
“All I want for Christmas is my two front teeth so I can nip those undies off and wish you Merry Christmas!”
“It says here in this book you’re supposed to kiss the first thing you see hung under the mistletoe…oh. Oooh.”
And the one so wrong, you know it’s right:
“Rudolph, with your cock so bright…won’t you guide my lay tonight?”
Nadia said on 12.23.09 at 04:52 PM
“Thank you, Santa!”
“On the fifth day of Christmas, my true love gave to me…One Giaaaant Boner!”
And, it must be said….
“You’ll shoot your eye out!”
Lisa J said on 12.23.09 at 04:53 PM
There was mistletoe, holly (underwear), and well…that’s how our new Holiday tradition was started.
AndieG said on 12.23.09 at 04:56 PM
“Wow, the Holly and the Ivy really *are* full grown!”
“Steve always loved it when Mark showed off his Christmas balls under the mistletoe.”
“You’ll shoot your eye out, kid…” Or “Be careful, Rick…You’ll shoot my eye out!” (With a nod to A Christmas Story)
“How does he always know what I want for Christmas?”

“Oh Christmas Lee, O Christmas Lee, how lovely are your branches!”
“Forget about your nose…Jack Frost would rather nip on that, honey!”
The Duchess said on 12.23.09 at 05:12 PM
“FOR ME?!”
“Looks like Santa brought me something to play with…”
“All I want for Christmas is—oh wait.”
Maggie Robinson/Margaret Rowe said on 12.23.09 at 05:13 PM
Havin’ a holly jolly Christmas already and it’s just the start of Advent.
You bring the mistletoe—-I’ve already got the madness.
Rudolph, with your pants so bright, won’t you guide my sleigh tonight?
Cathy said on 12.23.09 at 05:21 PM
Peter looked over at Joe the handyman and grinned. “Joe, are you sure that branch is strong enough to support two ornaments of that size? Maybe I’d better double-check for you….”

Yeah Craig, I’m pretty sure it’s not deck your balls with boughs of holly.
Sarah W said on 12.23.09 at 05:52 PM
“Need I remind Santa that he ruined my belt last night playing all those naughty reindeer games, just before I loaded his sleigh—and sent him ‘round the world all night long?”
Yeah, didn’t think so. . .

“Hey, Chris…I think you’re hanging that a bit low this year.”

You promised to wait for Christmas!
Vera Nazarian said on 12.23.09 at 06:02 PM
My caption would be:
“Seriously, how often do any of us lose our pants and get a hard-on, while forming an almost perfectly equidistant isosceles triangle of space between another guy’s face and three lit candles—all while climbing a ladder to put up mistletoe?”
Mistletoe Madness in my Advent Calendar Balls indeed!
Deb said on 12.23.09 at 06:06 PM
“Can’t you see I need a little help hanging this mistletoe? Don’t just sit there staring as if my pants had fallen down and my holly-print underoos were showing…oh, right.”
Gail said on 12.23.09 at 06:11 PM
This year kiss whatever you want under the mistletoe.
AndieG said on 12.23.09 at 06:25 PM
“Can I get some Eggnog to go with that Yule log?”
“Have a Holly Jolly Christmas!!”
“Can I polish those Christmas balls for you?”

Xander finally quit the demon women and found someone who made him want chocolaty goodness for Christmas; he just hoped that he wasn’t being too subtle. All he knew for sure was that he was finally looking forward to being someone’s butt-monkey.

Next comes the stocking
Of little Will
Oh, just see what
A glorious fill
Here is a hammer
And lots of tacks
Also a ball
And a whip that cracks
Ho, ho, ho!
Who wouldn’t go!
Ho, ho, ho!
Who wouldn’t go!
Up on the rooftop
Click, click, click
Down thru the chimney with
Good Saint Nick
Seriously, those are the ACTUAL LYRICS.

Thanks to Stuart’s years of experience stuffing mannequins in the better men’s department at Marshall Field’s, the stockings weren’t the only thing hung with care that day.
