‘Kumquat’ has long been one of my favorite words. It’s rather silly, fun to say, and sounds like it might be something slightly perverse, but it’s nothing more than a little orange fruit.

I just stumbled across this Fark Photoshop competition:

> Theme: Replace a word in a song or movie title with the word “kumquat” and photoshop the result

I generally skip most of Fark’s photoshop threads, as they’re generally only of fair-to-middling quality, and the level of humor is often lower than I generally get a kick out of. This one I had to check out though…and I’m glad I did.

As it turned out, there were lots of good gags. As images posted to Fark tend to be transitory, I’ve snagged the best of them here. One to start with, then the rest behind the cut (it’ll be a bit image-heavy, modem users beware)…
