Some of you may recall last Summer’s “Your Mama” joke contest held in honor of what would have been my youngest brother’s 26th birthday. Our winner was Ruth Ann with, “Your Mama’s so stupid, she sits on the television and watches the sofa.” Ba dum dum shhhh
Just to recap why I would hold a contest defaming Mamas to honor the birthday of my much loved and deceased younger brother:
Nathan was a really funny guy. So funny. He actually made a Drill Sergeant laugh while he was in boot camp. Once. He was so funny, that he would sometimes have to impose a punishment on himself because those in authority were willing to let it slide on account of the humor with which he spiced his confessions.
My three brothers and I share the same Mama. She is neither fat, nor stupid. She is, in fact, strikingly beautiful and incredibly wise. I think this is why Nathan and I got such a kick out of our impromptu Your Mama joke competitions. The point was to be really funny AND have a joke to immediately follow your opponent’s joke.
This has given me a soft spot for a good Your Mama joke.
I decided that this year’s contest would be just a little bit cooler if we offered a prize for the winner. This seemed like a great idea. But figuring out a prize was daunting. What would Nathan want you to have for offering the best joke?
So, Ethel and I put our noggins together and came up with this: A T-Shirt. But it’s not just any t-shirt. Oh no. It’s only the coolest t-shirt ever because there will only be one made. And it won’t be made until YOU win it.
Front: I’m special.
Back: Official winner - Nathan Dodd Your Mama Joke Contest - 2008
This will be a shirt you will be proud to wear. When you have it on you will be telling your friends, family, and people in line with you at Six Flags, “I’m special. I’m somebody.” You know you want it.
Here’s how to get it:
Leave a comment on this post containing 1 (ONE) “Your Mama” joke.
Keep it PG. My Mama will be judging and we gotta keep it clean.
You do not have to have a blog, just an e-mail address, to enter.
One entry per person.
Multiple entries per household allowed. And encouraged. The only thing better than winning the shirt, would be beating your kid in a contest for it.
You have until midnight July 27th to enter. The winner will be announced on Nathan’s birthday, Monday July 28th.

wow, this must be a special contest ’cause the Winner will be recognized on my b-day. I have a hard time saying anyone’s Mama is stupid or fat so I hope you won’t hold it against me if I take things in a new direction…
Your Mama is so smart, she’s getting a DNA test to prove that you’re not her child :o)

Your mama’s so ugly her brother sat on her head and tooted and told her she was adopted. OH! that really did happen! Maybe I should have said your Uncle’s so mean he sat on your mama’s head and tooted and told her she was adopted. I don’t think I am any good at this contest.

This is only best told in person after an egregious your mamma attack, unprovoked mind you, by a friend. So please bear with me.
“Well… Well (huffing HURUMPH) Your…Your Momma”
(Stuttering and searching out words in your limited vocabulary your mamma would find appropriate, as her name requires defending)
“Your Mamma is not… is not”
(Oh what will cut the deepest and yet retain the friendship so I can come over and play on the nintedo and drink milkshakes his mamma made)
“Your mamma thinks…”
(And then it hits you. You have never been good at your mamma jokes and your face turns red and hot with frustration that nothing comes out and you stamp your foot. Look your friend square in the eyes and utter emphatically the best you can do)
“Well your Mamma!!!”
(With those words and a quick turn of your back your feel validated in vindicating your mother. It isn’t until your third step you realize your words made no sense and your friend is snickering. At that point your steps quicken until you are in the arms of Your Mamma)
“You Mamma’s Boy” You think, with that you reply. “You bet”

Ok, my last comment didn’t go through for some reason!!!
This is such an awesome way to honor your brother on his birthday. I’m praying for you as his birthday nears, I know how those days can be even harder than all the others…He sounds so much like my youngest brother. I practically speak “Yo Mama” fluently because of him. lol.
My entry: Yo mama so ugly Bigfoot takes a picture of her!!!

Hello to my favorite Dodd family members!
I wandered here from the “Survivor Kwaj” blog site where I think Avis is secretly hoping that her fellow contestant Lee will vote her off the island next! Actually, it looks like they are having the adventure of their lives. Way to go “Nothertz”! (Should we be calling Lee “Notlevis”?)
Anyway, I think your “Yo Mamma” contest is a wonderful tribute to that knucklehead Nathan. I could only hope to be as funny as him for just a short moment in time!
Ok, here’s my entry for the contest. I believe it may be scriptual but I couldn’t find it in my NIV bible. I gotta git me a King James pronto!
“Yo Mamma’s so fat….when God try to light the world, He had to wait for her to get outta the way!”
That’s all I got for now! Hate to “Yo Mamma” and go but….I get to bed! We all love and miss you guys! We constantly talk about coming to Austin to visit so…..its a warning!
God Bless, and we are praying for you all!

I thought the link was appropriate.
Your momma is so fat her belt size is the equator.
Your momma is so fat, she uses a boomerang to put her belt on.

2)She was a waitress at the Last Super.
FAT
1)she puts her lipstick on with a paint-roller.

STUPID

I would like to say what I loved most about this contest is that I got to hear from some I haven’t heard from in a very long time…Doug make good on your threat!!! and a very special thanks to Shiloh (I always enjoy hearing from Nathan’s friends. My personal all time favorite is … Your Mama is so fat that when the Doctors diagnosed her with a flesh eating disease they gave her 87 years..
