Bossy has the best readers reader in the uniblogospheriverse. Which is why Bossy thought it would be fun to open up the voting to her fans fan.
When last we left Bossy she had pulled an apparition from her drain. And by the way, what are you people person doing eating lunch while reading Bossy? Doesn’t anybody work anymore?
Bossy couldn’t possibly include all of the truly sick creative entries, so the following represents the Top 19 choices. Because Bossy likes a nice round number.
Lara thought it looked like a scene from Beetle Juice, “When Alec Baldwin and Geena Davis stretch their faces out so that they have long, crocodile mouths.” Bossy doesn’t remember Alec Baldwin in Beetle Juice, but she’s pretty sure this was the expression on Alec’s face when he realized his daughter just released his answering machine message to the press:
Manic Mommy guessed Wookie:
Hydrogeek and Tricia thought it looked like Harry Potter’s Dumbledore:
Chirky thought Snuffleupagus:
While she guessed her:
Ree the Hotfessional was partial to the notion that it’s the third (lost) Magpie brother:
How about Steph’s guess: the Owl from The Secret of N.I.M.H.
Blackbird is placing money on Gandalf:
Phoenix thinks it looks like a Gremlin:
What? Oh, different Gremlin:
Marie thinks, “It’s one of those little shrunken mermaids from Ursula’s cave.”
How about Erin’s guess? South Park’s Mr. Hankey the Christmas Poo:
J Pend thought it looked like Don Quixote:
She slam-dunked Rasputin:
While Deb and Jason thought it resembled Mr. Potato Head.
She thought it looked like Jawa from Star Wars:
Her and her guessed The Spy from Mad Magazine:
Clare favored Cisco Adler:
While she thinks it looks like the Virgin Mary:
And finally, number 100, Skeksis.
She got it first, but it was also selected by Sonnie and Evolving Revolver and Mrs. and CableGirl and Floreska and Stella and Heather and Bossy’s Friend Martha.
So: What do you think?
sue says
October 2, 2007 at 11:58 am-I- think you have just been excommunicated from the church of the flying spaghetti monster. You will therefore never be touched by his noodly appendage.
Evolving Revolver says
October 2, 2007 at 12:14 pmOkay okay. I voted for Skesis, but I think Rasputin was such a killer guess, I might change mine. Strictly based on the rumor that he had a THIRTEEN INCH…ahem…”member”. That ranks right up there in weirdness with your drain clog.
blackbird says
October 2, 2007 at 12:20 pmI don’t think I can look at it anymore.
hydrogeek says
October 2, 2007 at 12:31 pmI guessed Dumbledore, but am coming back to say that drain thing looks EXACTLY like the spy from Mad Magazine. Good job her and her!
soNOTcool says
October 2, 2007 at 12:47 pmOh, WHY did I not guess that carpenter? What is his name … Jesus, something or another?
Tricia says
October 2, 2007 at 12:49 pmI still like Dumbledore, but I’ll change my vote to that Owl from NIMH now that you have the pictures side by side.
William Deed says
October 2, 2007 at 1:32 pmMy vote is for Don Quixote; spitting image.
magpie says
October 2, 2007 at 1:32 pmHuh. I thought I was the third magpie.
chocolatechic says
October 2, 2007 at 1:34 pmSo hard to choose….
I am going with the Snuffleupagus..
She says
October 2, 2007 at 1:44 pmI just noticed that you went to the effort of ‘burning’ the edges of that disgusting hairwad picture. It needed that special something, didn’t it? 🙂
sonnie says
October 2, 2007 at 1:44 pmwha??? other people picked skeksis too? whoa! that’s never happened to me before with “the dark crystal.” usually people are like…the dark what?
OMSH says
October 2, 2007 at 2:14 pmSo I wasn’t the only one eating lunch at the time? And? I do work – just *er* not during lunch.
I’m going to have to say Skeksis – the nose … everything is perfect.
Phoenix says
October 2, 2007 at 2:23 pmI guess it would be rude to pick my own choice, so I’ll go with the third Magpie.
Steph says
October 2, 2007 at 2:23 pmI LOVE the don quixote shot!
C'tina says
October 2, 2007 at 2:23 pmHow did you resist posting your supple, unencumbered nostrils!!??
qt says
October 2, 2007 at 2:27 pmOk – I can’t stop laughing at yesterday’s comments.
I still say Skeksis – who knew my viewing of the Dark Crystal many years ago would come in handy some day???
sassy says
October 2, 2007 at 2:42 pmDroopy Dog !
Noelle says
October 2, 2007 at 2:45 pmI think that looking at that thing 19 times hurt me in some deep down way. Also, I would say Don Quixote, on literary merit.
Hilary says
October 2, 2007 at 2:58 pmDon Quixote for sure – great resemblence!
blue girl says
October 2, 2007 at 3:00 pmThe Spy from Mad Magazine!! Only ickier and gooey-er.
Teryn says
October 2, 2007 at 3:24 pmWow, who knew — I can see them all. But, seriously? That thing is making me gag just a little bit.
Shayera says
October 2, 2007 at 3:28 pmI have to say, mu original vote would have been for the Skeksis.
But, upon further review, I’m changing my vote to Snuffleupagus.
Oh, The Joys says
October 2, 2007 at 3:30 pmI think that was the best evah.
Sarah, Goon Squad Sarah says
October 2, 2007 at 3:40 pmThat Wookie one is eerily close.
risingrainbow says
October 2, 2007 at 3:52 pmI think the Snuffleupagus has it hands down……..but does he have hands, I forget?
Darcy says
October 2, 2007 at 3:57 pmIt is definately SNUFFLEUPAGUS! Definately.
Brando says
October 2, 2007 at 4:40 pmI have to go with the Mad Spy after a long undercover op in Afghanistan.
Marie says
October 2, 2007 at 4:54 pmNow that I see pictures, I think I’ll have to concur with Skeksis. Now I have to google to find out what the heck he is.
surcie says
October 2, 2007 at 5:04 pmYour readers are scarily hilarious.
surcie says
October 2, 2007 at 5:15 pmPS: I think it’s that Hanna-Barbera cartoon character from the ’70s, Captain Caveman!
Wow, he hasn’t aged well.
Devra says
October 2, 2007 at 5:32 pmI am begining to think Spy Vs Spy is really based upon the top secret life of Don Quixote.
180/360 says
October 2, 2007 at 5:33 pmRasputin
Mrs. Chicky says
October 2, 2007 at 6:18 pmWhat the heck is a Skeksis, fer chrissake?
Mr Farty says
October 2, 2007 at 6:32 pmDefinitely Mr Stephanopoulos(sp?) off Sesame Street.
Avitable says
October 2, 2007 at 6:50 pmDefinitely Don Quixote.
Les~ says
October 2, 2007 at 6:55 pmTie between Dox Quixote and Snuffleupaguss!
Rain Man says
October 2, 2007 at 8:30 pmDefinitely Snuffleupagus. Definitely Snuffleupagus. Definitely Snuffleupagus. It’s Definitely Snuffleupagus. I’m an excellent driver.
Deb says
October 2, 2007 at 9:11 pmSnuffy. I wanna say Nicole, but I can’t bear to throw away a vote, and Snuff was my second love. (In a Love-the-80s-glad-I-made-it-to-the-90s kind of way.)
Leaf, probably... says
October 2, 2007 at 9:13 pmWhile the picture of that THING from your drain is lovely… Please stop putting it up here. It makes me want to check my drain, and I KNOW that that will be a bad idea.
stella says
October 2, 2007 at 9:22 pmSKESIS. ITS FRIGGIN SKESIS people.
and i never thought id see that bastard again.
SKESIS was some FUCT ASS SHIT. Scarred me for life.
At 7.
stella says
October 2, 2007 at 9:23 pmskeksis. whatever. i never knew it had a name. it was just UGLY ASS MOFO to me.
joeinvegas says
October 2, 2007 at 9:53 pmI think that Bossy has way too much time on her hands, searching for all the matching photos and making up posts like this.
But we appreciate it.
Thanks.
superblondgirl says
October 2, 2007 at 10:13 pmSkesis is just so spot-on, I have no idea how I didn’t think of that. Kudos.
Jen M says
October 2, 2007 at 10:47 pmThis was difficult. I’m going for Rasputin.
Diesel says
October 3, 2007 at 12:15 amThat is foul. And perhaps fowl.
the Dread Pirate Rackham says
October 3, 2007 at 12:39 amOK, my guess sucked. It so does not look like a Jawa, when compared with all the above.
Rasputin, however…Now that’s a match!
13 inch member? Are you KIDDING?
Theresa says
October 3, 2007 at 7:08 amI think it’s just your common drain troll, they are extremely good at camouflaging themselves as other monsters, leading to confusion and inadequate treatment. But if I have to go with one of the above, I’d say Snuffleupagus.
Jenny says
October 3, 2007 at 7:19 am“Snap” on the Skeksis! I was just trying to find the most appropriate likeness for the heinous creature, but alas, your readers, I mean reader, got there first.
Jason - GorillaSushi says
October 3, 2007 at 7:20 amI think it’s the not-so-distant cousin of The Hairy Snake Monster. Seen here – http://www.gorillasushi.com/?q=node/431
Meg says
October 3, 2007 at 8:41 amSNUFFALUPAGUS!!!!
davido says
October 3, 2007 at 12:02 pmOne word: robbed! 🙂
velocibadgergirl says
October 3, 2007 at 8:27 pmI love any blog where the commenters come up with this much kickassery in one contest.
Biddy says
October 3, 2007 at 11:18 pmi still think it looks like Alf
savia says
October 4, 2007 at 12:00 amI’m…so…confused. I thought I knew, but now, I’m not so sure. Can’t they all be right, and this apparition is some kind of uber-nerd’s science fiction jerk-off fantasy that can simultaneously exist in different dimensions as different things?
Just a theory. I’ll need to do more research.
Blairie Lou Hoo. says
October 4, 2007 at 2:30 amBossy. those are all veryyy good guesses, but not quite right. the foreign being you so bravely excavated from your drain reminds me much more of a plague doctor’s mask.
BEHOLD!

and that is what was lurking in your drain.
hope i could help!

Manic Mommy says
October 4, 2007 at 9:34 amThat post was a thing of beauty (partly because I was mentioned).
I’m staying with my original guess but also adding Snuffy as a very close second/honorable mention.
Lastly, you are commenting on others’ use of personal time?? That must have taken you all freakin’ day!
Joel says
October 5, 2007 at 8:59 amJUST found this blog. I thought this apparition was ALF.
