some e-cards, some more e-cards

I have a new obsession, and its name is someecards.com. They're witty one-liner e-cards for any and no occasion whatsoever. Here's an example from the "workplace" category:

Be careful, though. Those of the faint of heart should take caution before browsing the cards. Some are rather racy and/or make use of foul language. Kind of like the one I pasted above. Sorry.

Besides looking for fun cards to send to people, I also discovered the "Make your own e-cards" section of the site. And as one person told me after giving me a card-worthy topic about which to create a card, I turned into something of a card monster. I'll come up with a card topic and create four cards, and send them one after another. To the same lucky individual. You know, for feedback. Then I submit the best one to the someecard board of directors (or whatever the hell they are) for consideration on the main site. Chances of publication? Low. Thrill level I'll experience if they actually choose my card, or a derivative of my card, or something kinda similar to my card but clearly not my card for publishing on the main site? Ridiculously high.

Some of my cards:

Addendum: I've been notified by the originator of the first card I created above (please see below comment) that the idea for the card was not mine and should properly be credited to the originator of the idea. I hereby relinquish my claim to originating the "falling asleep while with one's partner in an intimate situation" card idea to the original creator, who was not me, who called me to complain. I will maintain ownership, however, of the unique implementation of the idea as embodied in the card above. The unique combination of picture, card color, and phrasing of the idea are properly attributable to me. Sorry for any confusion.
