I think this may be the best cat video ever

Posted on October 23, 2020 by Bookworm

I’m procrastinating like mad so, of course, I’m watching cat videos — and I may have come across the best one of all. It all started nine years ago when a stray cat wandered up to someone’s door and made some demands. I like vocalizing animals, so I thought this

Saturday’s Philosophical Humor

Posted on August 24, 2019August 24, 2019 by Wolf Howling

Normally, we deal with the tough questions. Today, in the spirit of good humor, we deal with unanswerable philosophies and impossible questions. How does a dragon blow out the candles on a birthday cake? If you fail your ethics exam because you resist the urge to cheat, are you entitled

Posted on July 24, 2018July 24, 2018 by Bookworm

A dying refrigerator provides an object lesson about technology, differing opinions, and trial-and-error repairs — and elephants. Oy, what a day! My 17-year-old refrigerator has been unhappy of late. A month ago, a repairman diagnosed dust. Yesterday, as it heaved, wheeze, and warmed, another repairman diagnosed Freon deficiency. And today,

The White House takes up the fraught issue of whether it’s Yanny or Laurel. Watch to the end, because the ending made me laugh — and you might too. #Laurel? #Yanny? Or… pic.twitter.com/5hth07SdGY — The White House (@WhiteHouse) May 17, 2018 *****

If the internet keeps being awash in stuff supporting the Second Amendment, I’ve got to go with it — but there’s lots of other good material here too. Before going on to the next set of posters (the ones about things other than the Second Amendment), here’s a wonderful video.

[VIDEO] There’s something about a baby sloth in a onesie….

No matter your views on the epic battle between Dr. Dao and United Airlines, you have to admit that it’s made for some wonderful all-American humor. I continue to be agnostic about the Dr. Dao versus United Airlines kerfuffle, in that I think all concerned behaved badly. The fact that

An email promotion brings a good laugh for the afternoon

Posted on March 24, 2017 by Bookworm

I don’t know how I got on the Genius Pack email list, but I did, and I’m so glad I did. If I hadn’t, I would never have been able to enjoy this wonderful vocabulary error: Meanwhile, I continue to set up my new computer. My old one, after nine
