What's it Wednesday?

by Djerrid

Let’s try something new this week. And as an added incentive, I’ll mail out to the first one who answers correctly a genuine US minted penny.

And here is one more clue to tie it all together:

    Uhhhh…..

    the letter p?

    Let’s see. Black & Gold are the predominant colors, except for that first picture…which is probably either a computer or a heater/air conditioner controller. Hmmm.

    I got it. Simple. Somali Pirates are stealing heaters. They don’t care about the penguins dying because of melting ice caps or New Orleans flooding because of rising ocean levels or all the bees disappearing because of rising global temperatures, either. It’s just a business decision. More ocean = more places for piracy. And there’s not a damned thing those capitalist Yankees can do about it.

    Either that, or it’s steroids.

    Is it a rebus of some kind? Is the first word “honor?” Something about emperors (the penguin), saints (the football team), no idea what the Yankees picture is about (victory?)… and the last picture is a queen bee.

    Oh, and today is Queen Elizabeth II’s birthday! Think think think…

    You bought a new Wii and got a lot of sports packages for you but the Bee Movie game for your kid?

    I think the letter P, as well, but not sure how the baseball picture comes into play. Unless one of the players is a pitcher.

  8. Ubertramp April 21, 2010 at 11:45 am #

    Oh! I got it! Yer a new PAPPY and it’s a Boy!

    Power
    Arrrrrg
    Penquin
    Pass
    Yankee

    Bee for Boy.

      That baseball shot could be “pussies.” And the bee shot is “pollen”? The second one is “pirate.”

  9. Farley April 21, 2010 at 11:47 am #

    Which goes to show how much I watch baseball lol.

  10. Ann April 21, 2010 at 11:53 am #

    It’s a sports thing, isn’t it? I’ll never get it.

  11. Djerrid April 21, 2010 at 12:11 pm #

    Random clue: If this was posted a couple of months later, the third picture down would have a good chance of changing.

  12. Ann April 21, 2010 at 12:58 pm #

    You suck. And I mean that in a good way.

  13. Ann April 21, 2010 at 1:05 pm #

    So… power, pirates, pittsburgh penguins, pass, lots-of-baseball-players-jumping-up, bee?

  14. dawn April 21, 2010 at 1:34 pm #

    Queen – We are the Champions :)

    • Dr. Slammy April 21, 2010 at 1:58 pm #

      Dawn – okay, but explain the first image?

  15. dawn April 21, 2010 at 2:17 pm #

    Wii =We
    ARRR = are
    champions (all big sports team winners)
    Queen – bee

    At least as I see things… :)

    • Dr. Slammy April 21, 2010 at 2:26 pm #

      Oh, that’s a Wii. Okay. And I got thrown by the ARRRR, because with the other sports stuff there I thought that must be a Pittsburgh Pirates reference (the next image is the Pittsburgh Penguins), and the Pirates are as close to being champions as I am to being a founding member of Abba.

  16. Djerrid April 21, 2010 at 2:31 pm #

    dawn is correct and this week’s winner. All of the sports pics are the current title holders of Champion since they have won the championship game or series of their respective sports during the past year. Regarding my clue: The Pittsburgh Penguins are currently in the playoffs and have a good chance of losing their title within the next couple of months.

    dawn: email me your address to djerrid at my gmail.com account and I’ll put your well earned copper in the mail.

  17. Ubertramp April 21, 2010 at 2:50 pm #

    How the hell did I not get that? I still think Djerrid has a new love child.

  18. Ubertramp April 21, 2010 at 2:54 pm #

    I was actually beginning to wonder if members of all those sports teams suddenly came outta the closet, announcing they were queens, but I couldn’t get the Wii part. Oh, maybe We Arrr Queens? :)

  19. Djerrid April 21, 2010 at 2:59 pm #

    I actually like your first explanation best. I’ve got a lot of weird looks here in the office trying to stifle my laughter.

  20. Ubertramp April 21, 2010 at 3:13 pm #

    The first guess usually IS the best one. :)

  21. dawn April 21, 2010 at 5:28 pm #

    Pays to be a visual person!

  22. Ann April 21, 2010 at 9:37 pm #

    I love this!

  23. Farley April 23, 2010 at 10:34 am #

    I have never seen a wii .. I would never have guessed in a million years.

  24. Ubertramp April 23, 2010 at 10:42 am #

    I haven’t either. But it’s in the name of the picture. :)

  25. Djerrid April 23, 2010 at 10:44 am #

    Blast! Foiled again!

  26. Ubertramp April 23, 2010 at 11:26 am #

    Damn. I just gave up one of my skillz!

  27. Ann April 23, 2010 at 6:16 pm #

    Ha! View Image Info belongs to the people now! Your tyrannical rule begins to crumble, Ubertramp…
