How the Japanese potty train

Tweet This video seems appropriate to my earlier post:

“You realize, don’t you, that this means war?”

Tweet Yes, I am quoting Daffy Duck in my post caption. That’s because the Duckster seems to capture perfectly the quality of the “war” currently going on between the Navy and the Marines.  I’m not saying that this war is ugly. I’m saying that it’s very, very silly — and both “combatants” are fully aware [...]

Are men or women the funnier sex?

Tweet I appreciate Adam Carolla’s willingness to defy PC shibboleths.  I respect his intelligence.  I do not, however, find him funny.  Nor do I find Jon Stewart, Bill Maher, or Stephen Colbert funny.  I like Tina Fey when she’s not foolish enough to wander into political territory.  I loved Seinfeld, which was a joint Larry [...]

Bookworms in literature

Tweet As a certified bookworm, it was obligatory that I post this link.

Hitler finds out that Scott Walker prevailed in the recall election

Tweet Yet another great “Hitler finds out” video: Hat tip: Earl Aagaard

Is it me, or is this a very bad picture for an advertisement?

Tweet When I checked out Hot Air today, I saw this side bar advertisement: My very first thought was “I didn’t know T.G.I. Friday’s made condoms.” My second thought was, “Why the heck is T.G.I. Friday’s offering condoms as part of its entrees, appetizers, or desserts advertising. It took me several passes before I realized [...]

“Hot girls have problems too. We’re just like you — except we’re hot”

Tweet Do not let the sheer awfulness of the singing deter you from watching this very amusing self-parody by two pretty girls with a good sense of humor:

The trifecta of news stories

Tweet Sadie hit the punster’s trifecta (although the last one is rather tragic): Pecker painting Peckerhead Peckerless

Only in Marin…. *UPDATED*

Tweet I got this picture while stopped in a traffic jam in Marin County: UPDATE: And on a related note, news you can use from Austin, Texas.

I like this doctor

Tweet I went to see a doctor this morning about my intractable migraines.  (And yes, I did get useful advice, which I think will help.)  The doctor was very nice, although not the most personable guy.  He endeared himself to me forever, though, when he looked through my chart murmuring to himself as he did.  [...]

Even dead, conservatives are more lively than other people

Tweet I thought you guys would enjoy the obituary that Michael “Flathead’ Blanchard wrote for himself a short time before he died at the end of a long, and apparently quite enjoyable, life (emphasis mine): Michael “Flathead” Blanchard 1944 – 2012 A Celebration of the life of Michael “Flathead” Blanchard will be held on April [...]

Don’t hate me because I’m beautiful.

Tweet This has to be the funniest article I can remember reading in a long time.  A rather ordinary looking woman spends paragraph after paragraph re-telling how men adore her and women hate her. Physical attraction is a funny thing, so I can’t even begin to guess why, assuming she’s telling the truth, men swarm [...]

Very funny: drunk guy sings a capella “Bohemian Rhapsody” in the back of a police car (link fixed)

Tweet Hollywood tries to write comedies this funny, but nothing is as good as the real thing — and the real thing in this case is the drunk in the back seat of a police car who belts out a word-perfect but, sadly, not pitch perfect version of Queen’s Bohemian Rhapsody, complete with instrumental interludes. [...]

Just Because Humor : Abbott and Costello performing “Who’s On First”

Tweet Truly, comedy doesn’t get better than this: No obscenities, no vulgarities, no insults, just exquisite humor, riding on perfect timing.

Greatest marketing video ever?

Tweet I don’t know if this is the greatest marketing video ever, but it certainly brightened my morning:

A magical number game you will love

Tweet I’ve posted magical number games here before, where you pick a number and manipulate it, and then the result is some inevitable cool.  You guys are all smart enough to have figured out the trick, but this one is special.  Really. Even if you are not a movie fan, you MUST try this! Movie [...]

A very witty musical joke

Tweet

How the heck does this work?

Tweet Go here, and follow the directions.  (Just FYI, because it was ambiguous, when she says “remember your number,” she means remember the number that results after you’ve done the subtraction.)  I did it five times and she got the right answer five times. Then, if you can, please explain to me how the heck [...]

Barack Obama called Michelle “some angry black woman.” (Not really, but Michelle’s mangled prose makes it seem so.)

Tweet On Facebook the other day, one of my friends offered her services as an English tutor — and included a grammatical error in her offer.  Admittedly, it was an error that involved a usage that has been changing over time, but I still expect an English tutor to avoid this particular mistake.  Even if [...]

Why I will never be a trendy blogger

Tweet It’s been a long day, so I thought I’d go for something frivolous in this post.  What, I asked myself, are the top google searches, most of which I assume are frivolous.  So I went to Google Trends.  A glance at the list of the twenty top Google search terms confirmed something I’ve long [...]

The down side of working alone

Tweet I have a home office and have worked alone for a long, long time.  Mostly, I like it.  Despite being a very social person (party! party! party! — only I won’t drink or do drugs, if you don’t mind), I really need my solitude, and a home office definitely provides that. There are a [...]

Some insults are too funny to keep to oneself

Tweet I got the funniest email today, and I just had to share it with you.  The “re” line was as follows: “Gibbering baboons more sensible than you, wingnut degenerate.” I was intrigued. The rest of the email consisted of a link to a post, along with the full text of the post in which [...]

If you feel like your life is out of control — maybe it is

Tweet What happened today was entirely not my fault.  I’m only retelling it here because (a) it’s funny and (b) it’s a good reminder that no matter how well prepared we think we are, things happen.  To appreciate this story, you need to know a few things:  we have a home alarm; my wonderful cleaning [...]

Lady Gaga’s “Bad Romance,” as you’ve never heard it before

Tweet I honestly do not think I’ve ever seen a better cover of a Lady Gaga song.  Even if you’re not a Lady Gaga fan — indeed, especially if you’re not a Lady Gaga fan — you’ll enjoy this: If the video embed doesn’t show, watch it here. In case you’re wondering, it’s apparently a [...]

Junkie logic

Tweet An elderly relative for whom I am somewhat responsible has a serious prescription drug addiction.  The other day, said relative took a few too many pills, and I was present when the nurse in the residential care facility spoke to the relative.  This dialog ensued: Nurse:  You took too many pills.  That was dangerous.
