We Americans have no idea what Boxing Day means. Come inside and we'll investigate!
It helps you if you read it in your head using Morgan Freeman's voice saying my words.
I wanted to make something fun and pop culturish, and when I thought, December 26th is Boxing Day .. I first went with "A Mike Tyson Christmas Story" in my head, where people snacked on hors d'oeuvres shaped like Evander Holyfield's ear .. but that would be a real quick caption.
Secondly, I came up with the idea I went with in the actual panel, which was Dee being a really snooty dominatrix .. well, that's ALMOST me .. that is trying to figure out what the hell Boxing Day, and I ask a bunch of celebrities what it is, and they reply back .. until I get to the final reveal.
But honestly, I ran out of room, and one was disgusting anyway, where Elon suggested donations of sperm, as he's known as a serial impregnator and wants the world's population to continue to grow .. but YUCK! .. which is how I ended that paragraph in the caption originally. So I just skipped that part and went to the finale.
So, of course, unless you know the movie reference from 30 years ago .. you probably won't get the joke. Which is fine by me. There's nothing like beating a dead .. you know .. from something notorious from the 1990's. Would I reference anything that's been new on Netflix in the last 10-15 years? Hell naw! I can't afford that shit!
Ok, my plan is to now take the rest of the weekend off, and probably up through New Year's Eve, where hopefully I'll have something written up. I've posted 10 captions in the last 8 days, so I need a break. Feel free to post me questions in the comment section for the ongoing AMA I'm doing .. Ask Me Anything.
I heard this while driving home from the Christmas Dinner held by my dad's girlfriend, and thought, "Hey, I think I'll post this in the next blog post, regardless whether it fits the topic or not!" So there you go!
