Monthly Metamorphoses
13 July 2006 by Marcus
It’s that time again, image fans. This month, our Pshopping is in honor of Fred Phelps, that psychotic fundie from the Topeka, Kansas Westboro Baptist Church (Kevin, a Baptist just like you!). Fred is known for such neato tricks as protesting funerals with giant, brightly-colored signs emblazoned with hate speech. Of course, we don’t really need a description of Fred here as it’s hard to get that idiot out of our moral filtration- he just keeps getting in for some reason…
Anyway, your goal today is to show us what Fred is really happy about in this photo. And please remember, some of us work in offices, so a NSFW tag would be appreciated for the lewder entries.
Here’s a few examples to poke you through the door:
1. Fred’s grand daughter really loves him! (MAYBE not safe for work)
2. Jesus and Fred hanging out
3. Fred’s favorite toy (of course it’s NSFW!)
Oh, and Kevin, I haven’t forgotten you- maybe we’ll do an additional special edition Metamorphoses for you, your “lovely” (shudder) wife, and your brother’s kids.

Oh, Marcus. This one’s gonna be fun!

I figured it would be enjoyed- good times will be had by all!

Here’s my masterpiece

Stardust, not able to access your link, and if you think I’m going to miss a masterpiece on this f–king hot, humid day, you’re nuts. In a nice way, of course.

Catherine, I don’t know why it doesn’t work for you, the link here works fine for me…Sean, any ideas about why she can’t see it? Anyone else having any problems?

And awww, Freddie Boy didn’t make the cut. The above article is called “The Top Ten Powerbrokers of the Religious Right.” I’m printing it out for reference because I literally cannot always tell these bastids apart. Really, when you’ve seen one overfed, gladhanding, scum-sucking, gay-hating mofo, you’ve seen them all.
Star, it might be just my system, don’t worry about it.

I can’t see it, either. I get the message: “Access control configuration prevents your request from being allowed at this time. Please contact your service provider if you feel this is incorrect.”

Weird. I can see it through my RSS feed, but not directly from my browser. May be a firewall issue. I went to put it in Flickr and saw that someone is already doing it.
And it’s very funny, Stardust!
13 July 2006, on 4:20 pm
Does my above link work now? I made a new one.
13 July 2006, on 5:11 pm
Mom, Dad’s home!
And, Star, is this yours?
Righteous!
13 July 2006, on 5:33 pm
Thanks Raindog…how did you do that? I was trying different things.
13 July 2006, on 5:35 pm
Star,
Nope, sure doesn’t, but it appears RDZ has helped you out- nice!
RDZ,
The baby one slays me!
13 July 2006, on 5:44 pm
Ok, I fixed my link in #3. It should work now. Sorry about that guys.
13 July 2006, on 5:46 pm
Star, someone posted your pic at Flickr. I just linked to it. Oh, and your link works now, too.
13 July 2006, on 5:49 pm
Thanks RDZ!

Did anyone notice that Fred’s hand looks like a slab of head cheese?
13 July 2006, on 7:17 pm
Yes, it’s fuckin’ nasty. He’s a walking corpse.
13 July 2006, on 9:08 pm
What a disgusting man. The Photoshopping actually improves him.
13 July 2006, on 9:13 pm
Hey, Star, I can see it now. Funny. He’s repulsive in both photos.
Did people see the Daily Show last night, with the bit about the guy who moved his family to the Castro area of San Francisco and now is concerned about all the gay doings in the nabe? Apparently the family was living in a cave for the last several decades. Hysterical.
13 July 2006, on 9:48 pm
This one is borderline offensive, in the sense that it’s probably not outside the perameters of his personality. The basest of Fred Phelpsessesss.

LOL that is really funny. They sure did NOT do their homework. There is nothing wrong with that it does not have a high crime rate either. But I’ll bet they sure were surprised. But how could they look at the house and not look around the neighborhood? Mustve been the guy in chaps and a bare ass.
13 July 2006, on 10:34 pm
Can’t wait until that fucker finally dies.
14 July 2006, on 2:09 am
Ewww, Raindog. Now he has two of those nasty hands!
14 July 2006, on 3:05 am
Catherine: That’s hilarious. Maybe they should have visited on Halloween before making the move.
I love the Castro, by the way. So many nice people and yummy restaurants.
14 July 2006, on 3:53 am
“Have you seen my other hand?? Bwahahaha!”
14 July 2006, on 8:28 am
Sean,
That made me think of John Carpenter’s The Thing.
14 July 2006, on 8:49 am
Sean – It made me remember that 1957 movie The Giant Claw
(And to think I was actually scared of that movie as a kid! Now it looks so ridiculous!)
14 July 2006, on 10:21 am
Jimmer, actually it was the variety of dildoes in the sex-shop windows that really got him going. Ed Helms interviewed the shop owner and it was hysterical; virtually everything he said was bleeped. I gathered he was describing what could be done with the various items.
And Sean, Halloween or any of the other celebratory dos that gay communities have. LOL. Reminds me of the scene in “The Birdcage” in which the uptight senator’s family (Hackman and Diane Wiest) get their first glance at the town in which Albert and Armand live – guys roller blading in virtually no clothes, and every other variety of folks who never heard of dress codes.
By the way, how do they get ordinary people to go on camera and be made such fools of? I actually don’t like this part of the show most of the time, because I feel the “victims” are not the kinds of people I want to see humiliated. Now, if they’re bigots and others, fine. But, really, do they have to sign a waiver or something that they won’t sue.
14 July 2006, on 12:59 pm
I watched the Castro clip on the Daily Show last night. That guy is a dumbass!
15 July 2006, on 12:15 am
Hey, Stardust, I remember The Giant Claw, too! My folks let me stay up late one night when I was really young to watch it on TV. I had nightmares! Now it looks soooo stoopid.
15 July 2006, on 3:11 am
Man, did I luck out on this one. His hideous skin texture reminded me of a movie character, and when I finally put my finger on it and went looking, I found that in one of the awful movies, that character actually appears as an evil televangelist. If I believed in such shit, I would say the stars were aligned for this one.
15 July 2006, on 6:55 am
Give me back me gold!
15 July 2006, on 9:35 am
lol
15 July 2006, on 1:32 pm
Sean – Now, unreasonable as it is for someone who is against superstitious belief, I could NOT go in my basement without experiencing irrational fear after seeing Lephrechan. That and “Chucky” movies scared the shit out of me. And then that little doll in Trilogy of Terror who had the little spear.
Your “Phelps Leppie” is far more frighting, however!
15 July 2006, on 4:28 pm
Trilogy of Terror! That segment with the little doll has been repeatedly voted by horror buffs to be the most frightening piece of celluloid ever created.
15 July 2006, on 4:35 pm
PS: Star… Do you have an irrational fear of short people?
15 July 2006, on 7:18 pm
PS: Star… Do you have an irrational fear of short people?
Sean – only those in horror movies. :-O
I make my own ceramic dolls and thinking about all those “dolls-coming-to-life and killing their owners” movies makes me feel creepy when I am home alone and I look over at the shelf and they are all there staring at me —(music from “Psycho” here). LOL! The human imagination is a powerful thing.
18 July 2006, on 9:58 pm
I still think Phelps is more frightening than any of the Photoshopping or horror movies we’ve had on this thread – which sure don’t say a whole lotta good about ‘im…
“Trilogy of Terror” made me laugh, but only because I watched it with a babysitter (who wasn’t supposed to let me stay up that late, but she was cool) who practically rolled on the floor in hysterics during that segment. I can’t watch it without remembering how hilarious *she* was, which defuses the scariness of the movie for me.
Now, about “Leprechaun” – I thought the Irish legend said that if you managed to get his gold away from him, he had to give up and go home, so to speak?
