It's been a while since I did one of these, but y'all made me giggle a lot today.




Someone knows too many people with the same name:

"I know one too many Aarons.

Which is to say I know two. And that's one to many.

One of you shall be nicknamed Fluffy from here on out. And I'm not telling
you which one of you has earned the moniker."




[livejournal.com profile] trollprincess is amused at work:

"I think my new favorite thing on the planet is when fighting breaks out at work and the lesbian and the vegetarian decide to break it up by shouting at each other:

Lesbian: 'Go eat a cheeseburger!'
Vegetarian: 'Oh, go suck a cock!'"




Someone on the flist has been reading too much slash fic:

"I see slash everywhere...even in cartoon animals

dude, so I was just flipping channels, flying through the 5 channels I receive here, and I had to stop and backtrack because....

there was this kid's cartoon, and all the barnyard animals were crowded around this sheep. and they were all staring at his ass. and the sheep was like...lying on the ground with his back arched like he was...presenting himself.

*dies of laughter*

I'm so dirty. I'm sure there was a perfectly innocent explanation but...I swear to god, it as like a farm animal gangbang waiting to happen. they all looked so intent on his ass, and the sheep was like...begging for it.

*smacks her forehead and crawls off in shame*




The joys of watching movies with family:

"Characters To Whom My Parents Referred During a Recent Viewing of Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire, Of Whose Existence I Was Not Previously Aware


1. Malory.

2. Cyril.

3. Nigel.

4. Dumbledorf.

5. Henry."




[livejournal.com profile] mle292 ponders icons:

"Currently, I have 61 icons.

Three are vomit related.

I still have quite a bit of room for more icons."



[livejournal.com profile] stoney321 rocked the Texas Master Gardener volunteer help line back in November:

"Well, I'm at the Master Gardener's office today, pitching in on the volunteer help line this morning. Wheeee! Here are some of the random questions I've gotten from the Public At Large:


"Can I shoot armadillos in my backyard?" Sir, you live in the center of a large metrpolis. If you want to go to jail, then by all means. Shoot away! ??

"Where can I find a cannon to get ducks off my lawn?" Seriously, this is the best one in the history of humanity. This man BOUGHT A HOUSE ON A LAKE. And doesn't like ducks on the bottom half of his four acres. So he's gonna set up a CANNON. And he's all crotchety and curmudgeon esque. Good lord, get a dog.

"Is it a problem that bees are 'growing' in my house?" Okay, this is actually tricky one. Does he mean a HIVE is growing? Because yes, that's an expensive problem best handled ASAP. Or does he mean he has MUTANT BEES in his house? Because he needs to see the guy with the cannon and ducks. Or the armadillo cowboy.

"How can I stop my oaks from making acorns?" Cut the tree down. DON'T PLANT OAK TREES. What???

"My grass is turning brown and dying. What can I do?" Um, wait until March. We live where grass dies in winter. I can't stress how panicked this guy was. OMG my grass!! MY GRASS!!!

from a walk-in: "How do I crack black walnuts?" He had a huge sack of walnuts, which I guess we were going to need for all of our experiments. I imagined some Rube Goldberg type contraptions involving the various taxidermied animals here for the Animal Control office, pruning sheers, and the cases of butterflies. Instead, I just told him to get a hammer. The contraptions would have been more fun, especially since I would have made the Pee Wee's Big Adventure music."





[livejournal.com profile] stoney321 has more tales of the funny from the Master Gardener's office:

"I was here at the MG office training a newbie and the man was in his late 50s. And posed in a nude calendar of other "elder gardeners." AND KEPT TRYING TO SHOW ME. Wtf, people??? *cries* I DO NOT WANT TO SEE 87 YEAR OLD MEN WITH A STRATEGICALLY PLACED WHEELBARROW IN SEDUCTIVE POSITIONS!

Oh, laws, will this year never end??? Hahaha. Ew. OH!! One last thing, and it's HILARIOUS, and I forgot, dammit. BEST CALL IN QUESTION EVER: "How do I get rid of 30 acres of marijuana?" *boggles* Answer I gave: well, that depends. DO you want to make a profit? And how well do you know your local law inforcement? WOW."




[livejournal.com profile] swmbo's cat, swmkit, apparently has plans for her:
"Yesterday I was sitting at the computer and I heard a noise from the stairs-by-the-kitchen. I looked over to see swmkit coming *up* from the kitchen, carrying a knife in his mouth. A sharp knife, the kind used for vegetable cutting.

A knife. In his MOUTH.

I just...I just...

Seriously. WHY, swmkit, WHY?!"




[livejournal.com profile] swmbo works at a place she calls LutherCorp and I WANT TO WORK THERE! Alas, it is not in Minneapolis. Here are some of her recent work happenings:

"So, ok, the fact that it is an open bar and it starts at 6:30 which means I can probably make my escape by like, 9 (right?! Before the Karaoke starts?! PLEASE?) means that I will go to the dang Christmas party.
(Last year there was pumpkin soup but it was at the end of the buffet, after the meat and with no bowls near it, so everybody thought it was gravy and put it on their mashed potatoes. Except swmbo, because she doesn't usually put gravy on her mashed potatoes. TRUE STORY!! It was apparently faintly sweet and very weird. So I'm already scared!)"

"hello, Monday is my BIRTHDAY and if people aren't celebrating, well, there will be a PRICE to PAY. I'll send swmkit over to your house with a knife clutched between his teeth, don't think I won't!"

"I currently have one nerf gun pointed at me and one 'usb-powered rocket launcher' pointed at me. NOBODY SHOULD GIVE COWORKERS WEAPONS FOR CHRISTMAS, OK?!"

"We're doing our celebrity death watch and I have to come up with my ten. Normally I go for the Golden Girls, on the theory that there could be a reunion special with a freak accident. (Yes, it's sick and morbid. NO I DO NOT CARE!). Except apparently the key to living a long life is to be picked by me to be put on the list. "




It's not a funny flist post without an appearance from the lovely (and sex-obsessed) [livejournal.com profile] felisblanco. Just another family dinner for her:

"Dinner with mum and the whole sibling+mates+kids deal:

Mum: So I was thinking of doing the gingerbread next weekend. If you bring the kids over then you can get a little time for yourself.
Sis: Do some x-mas shopping
Hubby: Catch a movie.
Me: Catch a quickie.
Everyone: Felis!
Me: What? With two kids you gotta grab every opportunity.
Sis: Haha. So what movie are you gonna see?
Me: Casino Royal. Hey, we can catch a movie and a quickie. If we sit in the back row.
Everyone: Felis!
Me: What?

Later:

Mum: So maybe I'll invite your inlaws to dinner. Have an inlaw night. The sons and daughter inlaw and their parents.
Me: So just the inlaws? Not us, your children? What are we supposed to do then? Hey, we can go see Casino Royal!
Brother: I'm not going to a movie with you! No one is ever gonna want to go to a movie with you ever again.
Me: *pouts*
Hubby: And you know, he's been to the movies three times last week. *eg*
Me: *grins* What movies again?
Brother: Very funny. Börn and Mýrin (Icelandic movies) and Casino Royal with my friend XXXXXX.
Me: Did you remember to bring home fish?
Brother: *chokes from laughing*
Everyone else: Felis!
Me: What? *grins*
Big sis and mum: I don't get it. What fish?
Everyone else: *rolls eyes*

Later:

Mum: So you'll all come here Christmas day.
Me: *pouts* Our tradition of doing nothing on Christmas day is being royally screwed over.
Mum: Not like you have to do much. Just show up for dinner!
Me: Yes, but we kinda have this tradition of never even changing out of our sleeping wear.
Mum: Then come wearing those. I don't care.
Me: You know, we actually sleep naked.
Everyone: *splutter*
Mum: You are not showing up to my dinner party naked!
Me: *pouts*
Little sis: You know, I'm surprised you only have two children the way you go on.
Me: Having two kids you don't really have time to make more.
Sis: Except at the movies.
Me: *grins* Exactly! Back row... in the dark...
Big sis: Felis!
Hubby: You're being exceptionally bad tonight, dear.
Me: What? Me? What do you mean? "

~The dangers of wearing bras:
"My boobs are blue.
I wore a black bra on my ride home and it bled from the sweat.
Now my boobs are blue."




~Talking about the Daily Show clip of the Republican dude who wants the 10 commandments displayed in Congress but could barely name 3 commandments:
"With all due respect to the Congressman, I probably couldn't name all of the ten commandments either. There's one about coveting my neighbor's butt that just confuses me."




~[livejournal.com profile] felisblanco & Mr. Felis were shopping for their upcoming vacation:
"Hubby was buying himself some clothes for Crete and grabbed a pair of underwear.
They're see-through.
Bwhahahahahaha!!!"




~and then she was talking about shopping for the trip some more:
"yesterday he bought himself sandals, trousers, a football shirt and the infamous see through underpants. (Which I'm wearing at the moment because I couldn't find any clean ones of my own. Plus manpanties make better room for your... privates)"
...
"In other news... I'm wearing see-through manpanties!! Erm... I already told you that, didn't I? Well, I just like saying manpanties. Which is a word I think I just made up but it sounds funny."




~[livejournal.com profile] swmbo discovered that life is tough even for a two year old:
"This morning I went over to BFF's and was falling asleep next to nephbo on the sofa - he was sitting there with his legs sticking straight out, leaning wearily against the corner of the sofa as well. I sat down next to him (well, first I put his pants on. On him. Not on me) and we played with magic phone a little bit, but we were both too tired to be excited. And poor Nephbo kept *sneezing*, like five or six sneezes.

And then he just looks at me wearily, shakes his said sadly and says in glum tones "Nose."

"Nose," I agree, touching his button nose lightly. ANd he nods and sighs and the despair of the world is in his sigh and I nod and sigh and then we both go back to trying not to fall asleep. And playing ring tones on my phone."




~And her story of work amused me:
"Yesterday afternoon at work, our regularly scheduled workday was interrupted by an all company page over the intercome system:
Owner: Would one of the graphic designers get off the Internet and stop by my office for a minute?
Pause of 10 seconds
Owner: Stop looking at each other and saying 'You go.' 'No, you go.' 'No, you.'"

  • ~and last, but certainly not least, y'all simply MUST go read about [livejournal.com profile] stoney321's adventures as a Mom taking care of a fish:
    WARNING: Fish death. Lies. Um... okay, yeah, that's it.
    Everyone should be lucky enough to have a mom like the fabulous Miss Stoney! :)

~[livejournal.com profile] felisblanco talking about how her fiction always tends to turn dark and angsty:
"I'm really a very happy and well adjusted person. Honestly. I even once tried to write a children's book about a cute kitty. Except then I had it get run over by a car and that was the end of that."


~From the incomparable [livejournal.com profile] stoney321 talking to one friend who is visiting a new love:
"Have a fantastic trip, and love her to bits. She'll fit in your carry-on easier if she's disassembled."


~[livejournal.com profile] bombalurina is a volunteer at the Minnesota Zoo and posts the Zoo updates she gets. This leads to reading some unusual things you don't see in most LJs:
"Animal mortality insurance has been purchased for the African animals."
"Laura Trechsel and Deedee Schoeberl are at Cheyenne Mountain Zoo for giraffe training."


~There is a mutant on my flist who just had a birthday
"Today I am *this* many...
*holds up 26 fingers*"


~Don't believe everything you get in your email box. [livejournal.com profile] felisblanco gets spam:
"It's quite flattering how many people want to give me their money. From all over the world. And how incredibly unlucky these poor sods have been... and all true of course. And then, grief stricken and desperate to get their money out of the clutches of evil relatives that really do not deserve a penny these poor people search all over the internet for a person who they trust enough to bring their fortune out of whatever oppressed country they live in and yes, they decide I am that person and I really deserve the 20% they're going to give me to thank me for helping them. Some even just want me to have all of it because I am such a great person.
My recent favourite is the Christian one that wants their money to go to a person of God, such as myself that will surely use it for good.
I really should write her back and tell her OMG!! Thank you!! You have made my lifelong dream come true. Now I can quit my job and write gay vampire porn all day!! Yay!! U rockl Oh yeah, and praise the lord. *coughs*"


~[livejournal.com profile] swmbo has a nephew. He's learning to talk:
"And then there were phone calls from BFF telling me that Nephbo has learned a new word and it's HONEY! Honey! Omg, so freaking cute. She put him on the phone with me and he said "honey!" and I was like "ohhh, sweetie!" and I melted into a little pile of honey myself. Although I have a bone to pick with Nephbo. He can, apparently, say the word OPPOSITE. And yet he can't say swmbo. Or won't say swmbo. I say "Say swmbo!" (Ok, I'm teaching him my actual name and not swmbo, but that's not the point) and he says "Blitz". Blitz is the dog's name. Unacceptable, Nephbo, unacceptable."


~And last, but certainly not least, [livejournal.com profile] stoney321 posted a link on Zombie Jesus day to remind us of the previous year and how EVIL she is:
"My cat is on the prowl again, which means today I found THREE dead bunnies in the backyard.
I wanted to take the kids' Easter baskets I bought today and put them next to a carcass, candies and plastic eggs scattered about.
I won't, but I thought about it. For an hour."

For your amusement... More stuff from my flist:

~ [livejournal.com profile] swmbo's not feeling well: "I'm currently held together by germs and cough drops."


~ The put your playlist on random and add "In My Pants" to the end meme brought up this result for someone:
"13. K.M.F.D.M. - Spit Sperm (Live) in My Pants

~In a thread talking about the founding fathers and their hottnes or lack there of...

A - Well, on the US currency, Hamilton is a serious hottie. The others are pretty plain.
18th century men ought to be pretty distinguishable -- between scarring and poor oral hygiene, we would probably look like cardboard cutouts compared to that much variance.

C - Ah, you are assuming that the images of these guys are big enough to show poor oral hygeine and scars.
Though you are right... From what I can tell from these reference images, Hamilton is probably the hottest of all our founding fathers. He definitely looks good in uniform.

A - nuh huh. check out that ten-spot -- he's got the cheekbones and the eyebrows. to say nothing of the whole rockstar death by duel. Jim Morrison had nothing on him. except probably recording technology.

C - Wow, that top photo on that Wikipedia entry is the least hot image of Hamilton I've ever seen.
Though this one comes close. I think this one makes him look like Emilio Lizardo from Buckaroo Banzai:


This statue, on the other hand... Yeah, that works:


A - Oh, I'm sure there are a few bad pictures of Jim Morrison too.
Alexander Hamilton: America's first dead rockstar.


~This is what happens when a comic book colorist gets board:
"Carrot Top and Liberace are now part of the first Congress of the United States."


~I posted a pic showing off my Mad Etch-A-Sketch skillz:
[livejournal.com profile] hellbob- "The Etch-a-Sketch was designed for kids to draw all the virtual steps they want. Not the abominations you routinely turn out...."
[livejournal.com profile] hellziggy- "You're just jealous... :)"
[livejournal.com profile] hellbob- "Of what? Your covenant with the Dark Lord for your Satanic 'Sketch Skillz? I don't think so. I'll keep my soul, thank you very much."


And last, but not least:
When your kid is sick, you need a plan:
"I have a cute little spotted thing at home with me today.
Yes, chicken pox has come to visit again.
Plan for today: Keep the little guy happy, write porn and nap whenever he does."

OK people. For some reason even though I remember y'all being really funny this week I have failed in my quest to find all the funny. (Of course, the reason I post your funny here instead of [livejournal.com profile] metaquotes is because I am lazy, so consequently I'm not gonna go looking really hard...)
So anyway, here are a few quotes for your amusement. :)

~~This one is from a description of a dream:
"On the bed is this 2 foot tall, redheaded, hairy guy with pointed ears.
...and he's completely naked and shaking his junk at me while making obscene gestures."
Best part about this quote? I had completely missed the subject line saying it was a dream until after I read this & went WTF?

~~ The class was talking about sexual and social taboos...
"Any day where you get to talk intellectually about adolescent butt sex at 9 a.m. has potential, does it not?
( Buttsex or no, I'm glad to be back in classes again. )"

~~ Why wasn't my mommy this entertaining when I was getting college solicitations? [livejournal.com profile] mle292 comments on the college mail Squeaky is getting.
"Dear sirs,
Thank you for your recent request that my daughter apply at your University. Please be advised that my daughter will be unable to attend any educational (and I use that term loosely in this case) institution that includes either the word "Christian" or the word "Texas" in the title.
Regards,
Mommy."

~~ And, of course, the oh so quotable [livejournal.com profile] stoney321
"Apologies for not updating sooner - I blame the flu. And George Bush, because he's to blame for everything."

~~ Father/daughter time at the Wal-Mart
"Of course we headed over to the toy section and we played with the $1.00 Batman masks. She finally figured out that if she leaves it on her face, she can be Batman. I on the other hand, I had a Darth Vader mask, and I wouldn't leave it on unless Xxxxx left the Batman mask on. So we were strolling through Wal-Mart with our respective masks on."

Things I've found on my flist lately. Anonymous, as always. Comment if you want to take credit for them (as long as you're the one who said it, of course)


Oscar nominations are out:
~~ "but ... but ... A Knight's Tale! 10 Things I Hate About You! That guy has an Oscar nomination! I swear I'm not knocking Heath Ledger at all, because his performance in Brokeback was amazing and lovely and I want it to win SO BAD, but it just seems amusing when you just think of it as "Heath Ledger has an Oscar nomination." Which just, you know, seems weird."


Talking about a painter's weird celebrity paintings:
~~ "It reminds me of Xxxxx's recent forays into the Cult of Hasselhoff."


What can I say about this one?? 0_o
~~ "Mixed orange juice and Coca-Cola does look pretty bad, I guess. But I love the taste"


Doesn't everyone have a relative like this?
~~ "Well, I'll be damned.
My white trash cousin just sent me a forwarded, chain-letter God spam. It said I needed to forward it to four more people to bless them as God was getting ready to bless me.
I deleted it. I pretty sure God won't mind."


And some of the replies to the post were funny too:
~~ "God called. He said he was revoking your blessing because you're a "spoiled little godless punk-ass brat". I thought it was really weird to hear God speak like that until I also heard him say "Dude, have you heard the new Metallica CD? I did that!".
I'm taking the fucker off speed dial."


~~ "While God moves in mysterious ways, I don't think those ways include animated .gifs and Jesus clip art."


I could probably do a whole post just of [livejournal.com profile] stoney321's journal:
Her best friend just visited:
~~ "She brings happiness and energy, and if I could murder her, grind her into a liquid and put her in a spray bottle to spritz her about the house, I wouldn't, because I think she would stain the walls. Not that murder is bad, mind you, and trust me when I say that she appreciates it wouldn't be to KILL her, but...
I just think she'd stain. Definitely clog up the sprayer nozzle."

Her boy just turned 10 years old:
~~ "I *can* leave the boy! I leave him for days and days at a time. I mean, what the hell are microwaves for? :D"

And you learn stuff from her and knowledge is power:
~~ "SNUFF FILMS. I like that my journal is educational. Sure, it's all bad stuff, but that is NOT THE POINT. The point is you are LEARNING."


Here is someone trying to do their homework and Google is not cooperating:
~~ "I image-googled 'lioness'. The first hit is a naked chick.. then there's a furry... and some miniatures.
All I want is a picture of a lioness about to take down a gazelle, or something. Apparently too much to ask for."


And last, but not least, we've got part of a Con report from Orlando. The author's sister has a bit of a thing for Alan Tudyk, and they were walking behind him at the end of the day:
~~ "she actually walked past the door to keep following him, but scott got her by the arm and pulled her out. she was like, 'but... but... alan tudyk!' and scott was like, 'he's not going to run away with you!' and sara said, 'you can't know that...'"
hellziggy: (Default)
More of the funny from my flist...
And, as always, they are all anonymous-like but I'll give you credit if you like.


~~I clicked on an LJ cut that said
( TO DO list - just being organized, is all )
and this is what I found under it:

1. Jack Davenport
2. Vincent Kartheiser
3. Johnny Depp
4. Possibly my husband
5. Logan Echolls
6. that hot guy that bags my groceries
7. the guy? in the commerical? with the hair?
8. the HOTTTTTTT waitress at my favorite sushi bar -jesus.


~~From an 'explain your LJ interests' meme:
gay vampire porn:
Again, how can I not? It's the foundation of civilization, everyone knows that. You know, the old story: And so God created a vampire and it was hot. And the vampire said: What's the use in being hot if no one can see me. I can't even see myself! No reflection and what the hell is that about anyway? And God said: Uh, sorry? And the vampire said, Yeah, you should be. Or better yet, get me a hot vampire to make out with. And so it was. And as one vampire lay eyes on the otheer vampire there was instant gayness. And after some grunting and growling there was sex. And God said: Holy moly, why didn't I do this sooner? And so he videotaped the whole thing and so there was porn.
See?
spike slash:
Where there is Spike there is slash. Or there should be. Because a Spike without slash is like a kid without an icecream on a hot summer's day. Very, very sad.
william the bloody:
Whether it's William the bloody awful poet or William the Bloody, period, there is something about that man that makes you want to... okay, one of them you want to cuddle, the other you want back slowly away from. But they both have great hair!


~~In comments about a fic:
I see you've obviously picked up on the interlayered subtextual metaphors and subtly planted references to the Bible, Plato and Martha Stewartian philosophy I so seamlessly intervwove into this neoclassical work of art.
...no, just kidding. It's crack.



~~From a Canadian the night before the election:
Her: I'm pretty sure the friend of Bush, anti-gay rights, anti-choice, pro-private education and health care, pro-high income bracket and tax cuts, Stephen Harper is going to win a majority...so to quote Ed Helms of the Daily Show, "If you want to have gay sex or visit a library, tonight is probably your last chance to do so. Personally, I'll be killing two birds with one stone." HA! I haven't been to a public library in forever and well, I've never had gay sex, but I'm always up for trying something new and since it might be my last chance...I'm so there ;)
Me: Sounds like the public library is the place to be in Toronto tonight! ;)
Her: lol...aren't libraries always party central?
Me: Well yeah, but I'm usually having just regular old straight sex back in the Biography section. Gay sex in the library is a special occasion! :)
