Funny Friday

This is silly. I didn't LOL but I smiled real big and almost snickered a few times.

Chris Needs Help, is a really funny project some dude is doing with fliers he posts on the same utility pole in a larger city. The request for Fritos and Snapple are a very nice touch. Check out that link to see them.

Here is something similar, but not as funny, more to encourage and uplift:



I would like to do something like this.
Tell me, what do you think about these projects?

And one more funny thing from Philosoraptor:

Wasn't it Tolstoy who said:
"Normal families are all alike;
every fanboy family is geeky in its own way."




God love 'em for letting their freak flags fly!

A Smile & A Warning

I Cake Wrecks. Do you know a monkey couple? Lucky.

'A Warning' sounds so stern did I get your attention? This is really just a reminder because I've had some new readers lately. I began this blog as part of my writing exercises (called the morning pages) from the book The Artist's Way. That is why my writing here is often very self-reflective and journal-ish. I recently read that there is nothing more "irritating than a woman who's getting her groove back." That's me - getting my groove back and being irritating to many, and hopefully endearing to a few, you know who you are *wink*. I knew when I read the title to the book "How Stella Got Her Groove Back" many years ago, that a light bulb went on in me. I knew that is what I finally had to do, though not by going on a trip to Jamaica and by canoodling with a fine young man. My groove is different. This blog journal is part of that.

Please be aware this contains some (mild?) profanity and some very, very, very odd behavior. SKIP the PROFANITY, and pause the counter/timer at 39 seconds and skip ahead to 52 seconds, but please ENJOY the ODD behaviour. Timothy!!! Stella! - Her vision of decadence must have been inspired by the Heavy Metal Parking Lot, which I tried to spare you with the skipping ahead. I wrote this in a reply on Jorge Garcia's blog recently when he shared a story about something odd that he overheard, and I'll say it here because it applies:
God bless the eccentrics because they make life interesting.

This is a popular hip-hop song from a few years back. If you live in a Conservative Christian Bubble, like me, you are not very aware of those things. Just take a moment and listen to the song for about 20-30 seconds. Then look at this:

Messageboards and other random thoughts

At one time participating in a few message-boards was a lifeline for me. I really enjoyed the discourse about various subjects from a wide variety of people. I used to visit a parenting board, a self-help board, and tinkered around in some hobby boards. They can be quite interesting.

I have 3 all-time favorites, and here are two of them:
Hippie Christian Family and ChristianBoard

I like saying and writing "all-time favorite."

I like Alton Brown.

I was thinking about California because I lived there a long time ago, and because the little town where I lived had a huge Pumpkin Festival each year. It was known for growing pumpkins, flowers and Brussels sprouts.

Speaking of things that grow in California...I have been seeing a few shows about legalizing marijuana in California. I just know that if pot were legal and I finagled a prescription, me and my family would be in a heap of trouble. I am just amazed that people can get a prescription and there are little pharmacies that sell the stuff.

Anyway, I miss Half Moon Bay sometimes. It was/is a beautiful place.

Weird Thought, #1.
Do you remember the old TV show The Addams Family? When Morticia the wife would say a word or two in French, husband Gomez would shower her hand and arm with kisses. My following thought, odd and inappropriate perhaps, is along those lines. It crossed my mind nonetheless. I'll fully disclose in a minute, bear with me as I set it up. I thought this thought because I had watched the move Sling Blade (good movie) for the first time in years and years. Then, I heard 80's hair band Poison's "Talk Dirty to Me" (never liked that song or band). Here is how it went in my (twisted) mind:
Poison song + Sling Blade + Morticia & Gomez = What if one was turned on by their beloved speaking sweet nothings to them in an unusual character's accent? Like Yosemite Sam's voice or Witch Hazel? Think about it the next time your sweetheart is whispering tender words of love, imagine those words in a rather unusual voice, and you will probably giggle and wish you could stop thinking about that.

The Sacred Sandwich has some really funny stuff up right now. Go check it out! Here.

laugh a little and a good link

A pastor, a doctor and an engineer were waiting one morning for a particularly slow group of golfers. The engineer fumed, "What's with these guys? We must have been waiting for 15 minutes!" The doctor chimed in, "I don't know, but I've never seen such ineptitude! "The pastor said, "Hey, here comes the greens keeper. Let's have a word with him." [dramatic pause]

"Hi, George. Say, what's with that group ahead of us? They're rather slow, aren't they?"

The greens keeper replied, "Oh, yes, that's a group of blind firefighters. They lost their sight saving our clubhouse from a fire last year, so we always let them play for free anytime."

The group was silent for a moment.

The pastor said, "That's so sad. I think I will say a special prayer for them tonight."

The doctor said, "Good idea. And I'm going to contact my ophthalmologist buddy and see if there's anything he can do for them."

The engineer said, "Why can't these guys play at night?"

How to Get Into Heaven

A man dies and mets St. Peter at the Pearly Gates. Peter says to the man, "Here's how it works. You need to have one hundred points to get into heaven. You tell me about all the good things you've done. They are all worth a certain number of points. If your total is one hundred or more, you can come in."

"Well," says the man. "I was happily married to the same woman for 52 years. I never looked at another woman. I was attentive and loved her dearly."

"That's great," says St. Peter. "That'll be two points."

"Hmmm," says the man. "This is going to be harder than I thought. Well, I attended church regularly, volunteered my time and tithed faithfully."

"Wonderful," says St. Peter, "That's worth another point."

"One point!" says the man. "Okay, okay. I was involved with a prison ministry for twenty-five years. I went into the prison, at least monthly, and shared Jesus with them."

"Wow!" says St. Peter. "That's another two points!"

"Only two points!" says the man. "At this rate, it'll be only by the grace of God that'll I'll ever get into this place."

"Bingo!" says St. Peter. "That's one hundred points! Come on in."

I love this post I found at The Sacred Sandwich.

More funny stuff

There is an online site for artisans and craft people to sell their handmade wares and it is called Etsy. There are a lot of cool, wonderfully weird, and beautiful things to be found there. However, like so many good things in this world, there is a dark, down side to etsy, as well. Apparently someone has discovered all the bad things in etsy-world and placed them on a nifty, snarky website all their own, hilariously titled regretesy. You know my fondness for such sites, I mean how many times have I mentioned cakewrecks? Not to mention fail, awkward family photos, what not to crochet... I find them all hilarious. So I couldn't help but take a gander around regretsy. And then I saw this, then I READ the description, which is the best part. I did LOL. They have got to be kidding!

Funny Christmas:






Funny Halloween story here.

One of my all-time favorite comedy sketches. This never ceases to literally make me laugh out loud, still after all these years.

I found another funny site for Christian parody, The Sacred Sandwich, see also Lark News and The Holy Observer. Fun, fun, funny.

WHAT is THIS???

I found the above on the deliciously funny Cake Wrecks blog, where you and find it here, and make the joke with your own website if you like.

I know this joke is like so two weeks ago, but I still find it funny.

A Funny Thing to Read

Someone posted this on a messageboard somewhere,
it's called The story of Roger and Elaine by Dave Barry.

Notes from June

A coworker has turned me on to the above treat, found at our local Publix grocery store. Coconut just tastes so divine in the summer time. Try sprinkling the top with dark chocolate shavings. Not so decadent when you consider the health benefits of dark chocolate.

I thought this story was ironic when I came across it. *Sigh* A celebrity entertainer speaks of his disdain for reading while promoting his new book. Makes me want to shake my fist and say, this typifies what's wrong with the younger generation! Yes, indeed. Kan-yea shhmon-yea!

I am gearing up to work full time this summer and I am looking forward to all the field trips I will be chaperoning. I'd say, "Wish me luck," but I don't believe in luck. I believe in the Lord's blessings. It has been a long time since I worked full time, outside the home. I had a taste of it when I did my little retail stint the last few years, but only for about a month during each Christmas season. We will adjust and survive.

I know the above bumper sticker is snarky and sarcastic, but I think it's rather funny. You can find more at the Lark News site, they are a Christian humor and parody site. Laughter truly is good for the soul, and sometimes we, as Christians, just have to laugh at ourselves.
