The Tumblr page The NBA Dribbled Out posted the above image that recently showed up in Reddit’s NBA thread, so I will let the author of that site describe it:
Someone uploaded this picture of a painting, which they claimed to have found in an ice cream parlor. In case you were wondering, that’s Larry Bird enjoying a milkshake while sitting with Skeletor, the arch-enemy of He-Man. Skeletor appears to be enjoying a cigarette instead of a delicious lactose treat. I love milkshakes and Larry Bird, but I also enjoy a smoke every now and then, so this picture was begging to be blogged about.
This painting is incredible, so I want to break this down into many talking points.
1) Why is Larry Bird eating a milkshake with Skeletor?
2) How did they meet?
3) What are they talking about?
4) Why is Skeletor smoking instead of eating ice cream?
5) Did Skeletor eat ice cream first and decide to have a cigarette because Larry eats his ice cream very slowly?
6) Does Skeletor avoid ice cream because his head is just a skull and he gets brain freeze easier?
7) Does Larry Bird hate He-Man?
8) Is Larry Bird trying to convince Skeletor to quit smoking?
9) Is Skeletor a Boston Celtics fan?
10) Does this mean Magic Johnson has ice cream with He-Man?
11) Did Larry Bird hang out with Skeletor because he was jealous of Michael Jordan and Bugs Bunny?
12) Did Skeletor promise Larry Bird that he would let him ride He-Man’s giant green lion after they had ice cream?
13) When they made the He-Man movie with Dolph Lundgren and Courtney Cox, what was up with that little bearded dude?
14) She-Ra was pretty hot, right?
15) How come nobody recognized that Prince Adam was actually He-Man when they both had the same build, face and penis-head hair?
And probably many more, but I will sadly never know who this painting’s creator was. But if that person is out there, know this – I value this portrait more than any Picasso or Rembrandt. Thank you.



Not pictured: Paul Ryan
That’s at Sparky’s, a local Ice Cream shop in Columbia, MO. Also in same shop: Painting of Macho Man working at the Bluth Frozen Bananas and Andre the Giant and Hulk Hogan enjoying some.
Of course it’s in Missouri. Makes perfect sense now.
Hulk Hogan enjoying some what? Please say ice cream because I’ve had goddamn enough of Hulk Hogan enjoying things lately.
Some notes:
Skeletor looks a little bloated. I guess he’s still in his bulking phase. That also explains the ice cream.
Magic Johnson didn’t hang out with He-Man. That’s just stupid. He hung out with Mum-Ra.
I don’t think Bird’s right ankle is supposed to bend that way. He looks like Robin Ventura that time Robin Ventura got his foot caught on home plate and dislocated his ankle.
Dislocated ankle is pretty brutal but it’s not even playing the same fucking sport as ruptured testicle.
If this picture is proportionally accurate, Skeletor was a BEAST.
Which would make Beast-Man a Hoss.
Skeletor – the only person whiter than Bird.
I have to own this
Thanks! We receive and decline an offer to purchase this painting approximately every single day. The painter is Jake Fyfe, and judging by the three paintings of his we own, yes, he is the greatest genius of art in the history of everything.
