That is Priceless by Steve Melcher for January 14, 2021

Frank and Jim couldn’t understand why women didn’t like their mustaches.

Dude, if you’re going to cross-dress, SHAVE. Otherwise you look your 80 year old grandma.

“Some Like it Hot.”

“I can’t believe that woman beat you at chess.”

“Good grief, it’s just checkmate, not the end of the world.”

Looks like two women with mustaches.

The Kaiser was the first one to start an undercover vice squad. But the officers didn’t quite get the concept right.

“My name’s Pat, and my friend with the migraine is Chris. Does that clear things up for you?”

conradin, frustrated that freddie’s got yet another one of his migraines…

This may be the first time all that stuff I was taught in high school about the Guelphs and the Ghibellines has had any relevance to anything.

Reading the history of these two who have just been notified of their death sentence, I conclude that their clothing is intended to convey their high status and not femininity. The mustaches show that they were only in their teens.

This here is Villi und Fritz/ two titanic Teutonic twits/ who were deemed unfits/ to be part of the Blitz/ ‘cause they just didn’t give two Schütz.

They know that “reality bites”./ They’re accustomed to insults and slights/ – but that cannot sway/ the passionate way/ that they spend their Teutonic Knights!

Kim is the one on the left…

When the wife walks in, and they were supposed to be “playing chess.”

Oh Cecil, calm down. It DOES look like a piece of fuzz pasted under your nose.

Oh dear, because of COVID-19 I cannot get my nails done. How will I survive?

Would you just LOOK at this catastrophe?! That darned decorator put MILANESE stucco on the walls when I specifically asked for VENETIAN stucco!!!

Oy vey!

Are you a boy, or are you a girl? With your long blond hair, you look like a girl….You may be a boy, Hey, you look like a girl. (The Barbarians).

And 1st prize for the "Most Unerotic Picture EVER’ goes to……

Lloyd and Ronnie realizing that the Chess Club’s Queen for a Day contest was a real drag!

Seriously, this has to be one of the weirdest paintings I’ve ever seen. What possessed the artist to paint it in such a way? I can’t decide if it’s camp or crap!

That’s just not right Dude or Dudett…..

Why is Anderson Cooper so mean, I love Olive Garden!

“Well somebody told me you had a boyfriend, who looked like a girlfriend that I had in February last year.” (The Killers)

“Rupaul is about to choose the winner. I hope it’s you!”

“No you don’t. Bitch…”

1931 Berlin was a lot more fun than 1939 Berlin.

“Hey you, take a picture it will last longer” Oh wait"/“Let’s just go and leave these ruffins behind”

Heen, heen,….He said behind.

“Calm down! He didn’t wear the same dress as you intentionally!”

No, Fred, the horsey thing moves like this…

On the evening before their wedding/ came the news they both had been dreading/ that the Kaiser had said/ that there would be instead/ of a wedding, a double beheading.

Check, mate.

That moment you and your “friend” realize it isn’t a cross-dressing chess bar but a biker chess bar and it is checkmate on you and him.

“If I were wearing pearls, I’d clutch them!”

Don’t worry about the perm. It’ll grow out.

Conradin was only 16, Frederick probably about the same.

look now you hurt his feelings, no he is not my boyfriend, he’s just a grifter from the gay part of town. but i may keep him.

GASP! The knights of the round table don’t want us to join them?

Cinderella’s ugly stepsisters.
