Linkomatic

My gratitude goes out to many friends who have sent links and jokes my way. You are keeping me in business, as it were. There are a few certain people who don't want to share the good stuff with me until they publish it themselves, but I can understand why. The rest of you who don't have humor blogs, are always welcome to contribute, and I'll give credit where its due. If I don't credit you for a joke you've sent, that means I already had it. Believe me, I've got some BIG FILES!

Gothgrrl helped me clean out the cement pond over the weekend. She had a great time mucking out the bottom, transferring the sludge (fish poop, rotted leaves, and worm carcasses) to the rose garden. I didn't tell her what she was lifting. I figured if she knew, I'd end up doing all the work myself. And that would defeat the purpose of having kids, now, wouldn't it?

Spring has sprung! My vegetable garden is plowed, the cement pond is relatively clean, meaning we can see the fish now (and I have the sore muscles to prove it), the window fans are installed, and my flowers are blooming! Thanks to the Christmas gift of digital photography, you can enjoy my lilac tree. I wish you could smell it. I just want to wander into the front yard every few minutes to grab a whiff.

Arbroath knows a sign of spring when he/she sees it.

Easter wrap up: The Peeps Diorama Competition had me giggling. I couldn’t decide what I liked best, the Brokeback Mountain parody or the New Orleans scene. Watch the slideshow! (Thanks, Carol Anne!)

To celebrate his 200th Captain’s log entry, Jean-Luc Picard threw a party, and I got to command the Enterprise for a short while! It was quite an honor, even though it could have been classified as tresspassing. Glad to be there when needed! You might be familiar with some of the other participants.

Strange and funny games show answers, from the TV show Family Fortune. In the US, it would be Family Feud.

THE TOAST (Thanks, April!)

John O'Reilly hoisted his beer and said, "Here's to spending the rest of me life, between the legs of me wife!" That won him the top prize at the pub for the best toast of the night!

He went home and told his wife, Mary, "I won the prize for the Best Toast of the night"

She said, "Aye, did ye now. And what was your toast?"

John said, "Here's to spending the rest of me life, sitting in church beside me wife."

"Oh, that is very nice indeed, John!" Mary said.

The next day, Mary ran into one of John's drinking buddies on the street corner. The man chuckled leeringly and said, "John won the prize the other night at the pub with a toast about you, Mary."

She said, "Aye, he told me, and I was a bit surprised myself. You know, he's only been there twice in the last four years. Once he fell asleep, and the other time I had to pull him by the ears to make him come."

You know those occasional pictures you see of sports figures with their pants pulled off during a game or some such? Sports Dignity is a site where all those pictures are available. Duh: contains nudity.

Are you a slut? Take the test!
Your score is: 28.75% ... Our verdict: You're not really slutty
Of course, I knew that! Really, I did!

In this game, you try to hit Tom Delay with a hammer (that’s his nickname, see), but not the other representatives in congress. Not as easy as it seems! But good for venting. (via the Presurfer)

Disturbing. An art show featuring portraits of crying toddlers. To pose them, the artist gave them candy, then took it away. (via Arbroath)


Very cool Love and Hate shirt.

Vampire Killing Kit.

Life During War has become active again! Citizen X is working on a series called The Infidel’s Lexicon, trying to sort through the Newspeak surrounding the war.

The quiz that really makes sense. This is amazing! (Thanks, Joe!)

Your Hidden Talent

You have the power to persuade and influence others. You're the type of person who can turn a whole room around. The potential for great leadership is there, as long as you don't abuse it. Always remember, you have a lot more power over people than you might think!

Size matters, especially when you are 11 years old and have a paper due at school.

ER did his own Brokeback Mountain parody, with this photopost entitled Catback Mountain.

Bush News Conference Response Generator. (Thanks, Ed!)

I really like this game where you have to find a particular person in a crowd. I didn’t do all that well, but I love the way the graphics move around. (via Arbroath)


Thought for today: I've taken a vow of poverty. To annoy me, send money.
