What was your first laugh of the day?

I just saw OmSigDavid giving advice on English and it's proper usage on one of the threads from non English speakers.

Good start gentlemen.

Doesn't have to be from here though.
It'd be interesting to know what first brought some lightness to your day.

someone i follow on twitter retweeted this gem, Charlie Sheen gave up his career for Lent

reading Marley and Me on the streetcar

just barely kept myself under control as I read



I was sort of ok til I got to the udder

listening to replay of the Ron & Fez show

Ron, making fun of a film that made no money, manages to also get a nice dig in at James Cameron

"no, it made a lot of money, more money than Titanic or its sequel, Titanic 2 - Titanic on another planet with blue people"

In the early dawn, I went to sit out in the back sunporch and was amazed at this giant thing sitting in a tree about 30 yards from the house. I watched the thing carefully as it hunkerd down in the rain. AS it got brighter I saw that, somehow, a stray rooster had decided to take up residence with us (Probably to keep our chicken babes company). He is a bandy rooster and is much smaller than the chickens (Wyandottes and Auricunas). However, hes the only male in town so hes got a posse of babes to himself. He didnt start cackling till just a few minutes ago(maybe hes trying my patience and my willingness to let him be an immigrant).
Its either that or he will not have a long career path.

Hes a handsome little guy with dark iridescent feathers and a huge tail. SOmone had been caring for him.
One of my neighbors down the rod (an AMishman) keeps fighting cocks and he is rather lax to his pacifist religious beliefs

Speaking of cocks on the prowl, maybe it's Charlie Sheen on a bender? I'm just sayin'.

naaah, the chicken wasnt weaving and stammering. HE had his **** together.

The daily ritual of asking Maddy dog if he has to go pee on George Bush and watching him dance up on his hind legs and howl like crazy as if he's about to wet himself if he doesn't get out there soon enough. If I take too long, he'll come over and nudge me toward the door.

He does have a doggy door he can use anytime of day to go pee in the backyard. He holds it for the front door when he can go pee on George Bush. It started out as asking him if he wanted to go pee on "your bush" and devolved into George Bush. Ever since, the name George Bush sends him running to the front door. Even if he doesn't really have to go, he'll make a scene of going around to all his favorite trees and bushes in the front yard, lifting his leg at each one for a second before moving on. Sometimes I think he just fakes it so he can get his biscuit reward when he comes back in.

Charlie has his **** together. It happens to all be between his ears.

Don't be dissin' my main man Charlie.

Two things - reading about Modigliani - all sorts of stuff I'd no idea about, especially the "torrid life" business: http://www.slate.com/id/2287377/

Seeing the slate/magnum photos slide show on bubble gum. Not all of those are smilers, at least one strikingly sad to me, but all in all a good show.

(speaking of big hair - that's the one that made me laugh out loud. Well, that, and the last photo.)

listening to the replay of Opie and Anthony this morning, comedian Joe DeRosa sitting in and watching the japan coverage, makes plea to homosexuals to please stop their wicked ways so we can all live in peace

No more Yokahama Smoothies?

The sale of a shoe worn by pop star Justin Bieber has hit a snag.

The high school auctioning the sneaker on eBay thought it had sold for US$5,500 Friday, but later learned the winning bidder forgot to ask her mom if it was OK to buy the shoe.

Keith Edwards, a teacher at Stratford Northwestern Secondary School, said the Edmonton girl's mother "probably had a moment of panic" after receiving the invoice for the autographed shoe.

listening to the Coast to Coast AM podcast, about a week ago they had the folks on the show who claim the rapture is coming on May 21st, the host asked them if they'd be willing to come back on Monday the 23rd and they said it would be impossible because they wouldn't be here

on the show i was listening to this morning, the host was saying that he just got a letter from the group asking for a donation, actually it was a form to fill out to give a monthly donation, odd for a group that probably won't exist in about 2 months

Oh Ceili, reading that one was my first laugh today.

Mulching is not particularly funny work.

listening to the ron & fez show, ron talking about everyone pretending their irish for a day

"isn't it funny how the two groups white folks all try to pretend be, blacks and irish, are the same two groups nobody wanted to rent a room to a century ago"
