April 1

The use of cheeky as a theme of photo

I have a friend who wants to use a cheeky photo of himself and a band mate to promote themselves for their first brochure. They want it to be funny but not shocking and the only thing I can really find on the internet regarding cheeky is Wikipedia’s description in reference to the comic strip. Cute but we don't like comics. On google it's tons of uses in people's tag lines or story telling, it doesn't really give me a visual of cheeky, just in context clues. So I want to give them some examples of what would be considered cheeky to portray musicians. I suggested that they are the Kings songsters and they are always in the pantry raiding the kitchen and when they get caught they are "cheeky" with their response. How to translate this in photography? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 216.109.69.202 (talk) 01:12, 1 April 2008 (UTC)

How about you show an open and empty pantry and fridge, with many empty and open containers lying on the floor. The band members can show signs of having eaten excessively, like jam on their faces, stains on their shirts, etc. They can then be shrugging in the way that says "it wasn't us, and we don't know who it was !" to the angry matronly woman who discovers them and is wagging her finger at them.

How about a school-based picture - the pair have put a pin on the teacher's chair and are peering around a door as s/he is about to sit on it. Or perhaps a bucket of water over the door would be less violent?

NarutoxHinata

Didn't naruto and hinata go out, I kept hearing that they did. If so, which chapters were it? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.130.144.181 (talk) 02:55, 1 April 2008 (UTC)

Perhaps if you provide some context, someone will be able to answer your question. Who are Naruto and Hinata and where are they from? Cherry Red Toenails (talk) 23:24, 4 April 2008 (UTC)

I think he may be referring to Naruto. ···日本穣^{? · Talk to Nihonjoe} 07:59, 6 April 2008 (UTC)

Tire Swing (song)

In the song Tire Swing by Kimya Dawson (I have it on the Juno soundtrack), to what does a "Toby" refer? Urban Dictionary isn't much help - it suggests masterbation, goat sex, or a vague definition involving the exact line from the song I'm curious about. Any enlightenment is appreciated, thanks!

Er... where is everyone? Is this normal? Nobody's questions are being answered... are they all just that obscure? Kuronue | Talk 02:25, 2 April 2008 (UTC)

I guess no one has yet dropped by who knows the answer to this. If you can give us some context for the way in which this word is used it might help those of us who have never heard the song.--Shantavira|^{feed me} 08:07, 2 April 2008 (UTC)

Yeah, I figured nobody knew my answer, but I was noticing that not one question asked in 2-3 days (Depending when the date rolls over) had been answered O.o Ah well, other people are getting answers again, must have been a freak lull.

The line is, "Joey never met a bike that he didn't want to ride/and I never met a toby that I didn't like". Could be Tobey? Kuronue | Talk 12:52, 2 April 2008 (UTC)

Maybe he/she never met a person named Toby they didn't like? Recury (talk) 13:31, 2 April 2008 (UTC)
