Aaargh!

This is a weird one, I know! My brother-in-law (Jon) and I have this "inside joke" about a guinea pirate. I am going to try to briefly explain it before I show you the picture:

When Jared and I first moved to Kansas we stayed with his family for a few months. One night Jon was watching South Park and I was at my desk (in the family room) doing homework. I had never watched South Park before so I wasn't paying much attention until I looked up and there were "guinea aliens" attacking the cartoon city! AAAHHHHH! Run!!! The funny part about it was that they were real guinea pigs (not cartoon) just sitting in the middle of the cartoon streets twitching their noses and not doing much of anything. And the little cartoon people were going nuts in panic. I don't know why but I found this really funny. At the end of the show the "bad guy" (animated) declared that he was the one who sent the guinea aliens to attack the city and the he himself was an alien. But, as he said, "I am the most feared of them all! A guinea pirate! AAARGH!". Oh my gosh, Jon and I found this hilarious!! He said "I wish I was a guinea pirate!" Wish granted! Now his nic-name is guinea pirate (shortened to GP recently) and it is an ongoing joke in our family.

So for Christmas I did my best with my paper-piecing skills and came up with a framed piece of "art" (in an 8x10 frame) for his new apartment. Here it is:


Most people think we are dumb for finding it so funny but what can I say... maybe you just had to be there?? LOL!!
