It’s Chriiiiiistmaaaaaaas!
‘Twas the night before Christmas, and all through the house, not a creature was stirring apart from the Rodents peeling away a little bit of paper at the side of the present that looks like it could be a game.
It’s easy to forget that at this time of year we are celebrating the birth of someone very special. That’s right – Noel Edmonds, for it is he whom the season of Noel is named after (Surely ‘Edmonds-Mass’? – Ed). In the final Image Of The Week before 2005 rolls into view, spare a thought for all the joy that Noel Edmonds has brought to the world.
It’s been a great year for Rodent, and indeed Image of the Week. We’ve had tons of amazing efforts from all our entrants, and for that we thank you from the heart of our bottoms. When someone makes you laugh, you can’t help but feel grateful. Enough of my sentimental waffling… Let’s find out who’s been naughty or nice…
Sheepfest

Gold: I don’t know why donkeys always look so miserable, if I had a schlong that long I’d be the happiest little donkey on Weston-super-Mare’s golden shores.
Matt

Silver medallist this week is young Matt with this festively frolicsome FIFA pastiche. No lump of coal in his stocking for this chap, just a lump in his throat for achieving a place in the hallowed winners’ circle of IotW.
ZenChan

Bronze – Quick and dirty is the way that Zen Chan likes it. King of the one-font wonder and seamless blending. Sir, we salute you.
Aaand the rest…
Sheepfest

Sheepfest offers us this image of the Sims having an office Christmas party. Spookily close to actual CCTV footage of most office Christmas parties, too! I photocopied my arse once, but someone confused it with a Geri Halliwell calendar and bought it off me. Oh well, in for a penny…
Ashcroft

Confirmed bachelor and wannabe messianic figure Cliff Richard reminds us of the true spirit of Christmas. Tequila.
Ashcroft

Here we see one of Santa’s bitches reading a list of all the rodents that have been good this year. But she’s going to catch her death in those fishnets. How impractical.
Happy Jack

Chasing the dragon has never been so much fun.
Baboonanza

Wrestling – sport, entertainment or homo-erotic pantomime? I think we all know the answer to that.
Sid James

Is that you, Sidney? We are honoured to have Sid James contributing to our humble publication, especially as it’s terribly difficult to host images from beyond the grave.
Orava

In this season of goodwill to all men, we must even spare a thought to the meme of yesterday, the Chav. Luckily they don’t like the cold weather, and the telly is good on Sky over Christmas so they are a rare sight this time of year.
DTMSR

If only it weren’t true.
PaulEMoz

Here we see Sony headquarters rushing to try and make up for the lack of PSTwos this Christmas. Off camera is the twisted hobgoblins whose task it is to debunk any internet rumours of that 4 hour battery life for the PSP.
Stark

Sit on my knee little boy and I’ll tell you what I want for Christmas.
Orava

Are you a leg or a breast man? Eh? EEEEEH? Personally I prefer a nice vagina.
Sir LansAlot

Now includes sleigh-jacking, nativity scene vandalising and drive-by carol singing.
Jimaroid

Self confessed Robotron obsessive Jimaroid couldn’t help himself.
Sir Lans A Lot

If you’re stuck for a present to buy your 13-year-old nephew, I find socks are ideal. There is nothing that captures the spirit of Christmas more than an inarticulate relative attempting to fake gratitude.
Rubisco

That present looks like the kind of gift I approve of - a lovely Gamecube.
Dio

On Christmas day, expect ITV to show one of the Star Wars films just as the director didn’t intend it to be – in glorious 4:3 with advert breaks every chuffing minute.
Rubisco

Someone should have done this to Christopher Lambert a long time ago.
Morgan

A tree talked to me one Christmas. That’s the last time I smoke crack with my Nan.
Dio

Some people drink Reindeer wee, knowing that on their diet of psychedelic mushrooms, reindeer urine has hallucinogenic qualities. Why they don’t just eat the mushrooms themselves and cut out the middle-man?
swith

Have you ever had the Sprout Runs? I have. It’s not pleasant, and you should see the skid marks.
Baboonanza

Half Baboon, half bonanza. Baboonanza urges us to fall asleep after a skinful of booze and a gut-load of poultry. You’re just asking to have peas dropped in your mouth by a naughty grandson if you do though.
BetaKarraTene

Our resident scary man Beta Karra Tene scares us again. We love it, though.
Ashcroft

The Bells! The Bells! It was the Bells that made me deaf!
BetaKarraTene

Playing Starfox adventures is a lot like reading the Bible. It’s best if you don’t.
Swith

So to wrap this up for the year, lets all consider the words of Tiny Tim: “Fuck me, I’m tiny!”
Thanks to everyone as usual, and we at Rodent Towers look forward to many more Images of the Week next year. Merry Christmas to ya.
