two posts in one day!

here some more snl funny for ya

it's so funny because people do talk like that sometimes
and he does a brilliant job of talking as if he's going through a dialogue without really saying anything.

quantity over quality

whoever invented text messaging is the man.

the next two weeks are going to be busy.
how busy?
crazy busy.

but being busy makes doing nothing all the more fun. that's how i like to think about it.

i can't wait till it all dies down though cause i've been craving some good browsing mckay's used books time.

this was in my daily humor box on my google homepage and i thought it was funny...

A book called "My Beautiful Mommy" helps children cope with their mother having plastic surgery.

The book was originally titled "Why Is Mommy Always Smiling Like That?"

Business About Funny

Humor is a funny thing.
Its fascinating to me that we really have no control over what we find funny.
Random screaming for example, can usually get a giggle or a "lol" from me.
Redneck humor however does not.
Sarcasm-absolutely hilarious.
Movies that contain Eddie Murphy-not so much.

Stand up comedians are difficult to win me over. For the most part I watch them and laugh on the inside.
I do, however, find Jerry Seinfeld, Brian Reagan, and Jim Gaffigan-lol funny.
ie: "I never eat a hot pocket and think, 'i'm really glad i ate that.'" -gaffigan

Smart physical comedy is not only smart-its funny.
And nothing beats wit or a well thought out sitcom plot line, the best example of which is Frasier.
SNL is funny, but only when they don't take the joke too far-a fault they often display.

But again i come back to my original point that humor is a funny thing. How do we determine what we laugh at? can it be changed? is our funny bone established in our dna? or is humor an acquired taste?
I'm sure there are humorists out there that study these things, and if i come across a book that better explains it i will definitely research it myself.

meanwhile, i'll stick to laughing
every chance i get.

thoughts from a bench in a doctors office...

a doctor really is a lot like a rockstar

you have the nurse come in for the opening act. give you some ground rules, a couple tunes to loosen you up and then you wait for the main event.

and then you wait some more

and just when the thought of opening the door and screaming "HEY! WHERE THE FREAK ARE YOU AT?" doesn't sound so insane there's a small knock on the door, the lights dim and in comes the star of the show.

"yeah!" "whooo" "AAHHHHHH"

"Hello Knoxville! Thanks for coming out tonight for a check up."

and just like that your done. out the door with an emptier wallet and their autograph to show your friend in the white coat behind the counter.

the funniest woman on tv

SNL hasn't been laugh out loud funny lately, however this past weekends episode was one of their funniest episodes all year and that's all thanks to the woman below, Kristen Wiig.
Watch...

butt pilot

While normally i chide myself for writing a blog with no real purpose or subject in mind, the recent lapse in time since my last blog left me feeling that a care-free-fly-by-the-seat-of-my-pants-blog was ok.

spring has sprung (man i hate that phrase) but it has. and it's beautiful. spring and fall are both so brilliant in their own rite and up here i truly appreciate them both.
spring brings tulips and tulips are my favorite flower.
i decided to designate a favorite flower after watching "you've got mail" and since daisies were taken i thought tulips would be an equally good, if not a better choice. besides daisies really only come in a couple colors while tulips display their coloring abilities through many, vivid and vibrant hues.

but enough about spring.
lets talk about guns.

my writing fiction class imposed on me an assignment earlier in the month that required a story including the idea of a "pistol in the refrigerator".
we actually got to, as a class, come up with an idea like that one that we would have to incorporate in a story and after voting i was satisfied that the pistol won out. others discussed how it was too depressing of a topic while i sat there and thought of all the possibilities.
what first came to mind was a children's story of kids who found a gun and didn't know what to do with it so they hide it in a tubberware within the refrigerator. then i thought of a cake. after all there are places out there that make crazy cakes and a cake in the shape of a pistol isn't a far fetched idea. thirdly dieting came to mind and a girl who goes to great lengths to prevent herself from eating too much was about to take shape.
all of these appealed for a while but eventually something else won out.

part of our assignment was to read other people's stories and for the remainder of the semester discuss each persons work. while mine was given the title of "clever" by everyone in the class including the professor *buffs nails on sleeve* others felt the need to repeatedly drop the f-bomb and sometimes unimaginatively kill off everyone in their story. blah. sitting there reading several in a row made me wish their pistol was real.

so. good news for you you'll get to read my concoction next go around. it's just about three pages long so it will be a substantial blog and hopefully make up for my inattentiveness as of late.

until then
fly by the seat of your pants more often
it is, after all, the only way to fly.
