The Bob and Larry cookie cutter


or, why there should always be a paid position for a person with a perverted world-view at a company dealing with religion.


Rotate the photo 90° if for some reason you don't get the funny right away.

Dear Rush,


Another political machine...

Ever wonder how a Republican can turn around so quickly and make such a pretty apology to Limbaugh when they accidentally haul off and speak the truth? They have the Republican Apology Machine.

Cold weather and the talk show


Apparently it's a little chilly in NYC, too.

The Today Show's Matt Lauer opened the show this morning by announcing, "I've got two words for you -- Let's cuddle."

Later, a generic news-guy was doing an outdoor story from somewhere with lots of snow on the ground, and more expected. When he wrapped up his piece, Meredith Vieira fussed at the bare-headed reporter, "Put a hat on." Go, Meredith.

Fun for Facebook Fans


Newsfeeds are the way to go, aren't they?

For those of you that speak Facebook:

Hamlet

Pride and Prejudice

Those of you that don't use Facebook -- trust me, you'll get it anyway.

Bits and pieces


A couple of chuckles

Arrrr, it's Talk Like a Pirate Day again.

#1-Son, coming into the kitchen for breakfast: "Kill me now -- I've got Metallica stuck in my head." Very unusual for him -- he's normally singing Jimmy Buffett or matchbox twenty. I think his #2-Son was playing Guitar Hero while #1 was in the next room doing his homework on the computer.

I was smearing acne cream on #2-Son's nose this morning, and like any mammal he tilted his head back and his nose up into the touch. Unfortunately, he's 5' 9" or 10" to my 5' 3", and that made it hard for me to see what I was doing. I said, "Look down, please, you're taller than I am. I swear, you keep growing every day." He replied, "Put two bricks on my head." Not A brick; TWO bricks. He may have it right.

We've all been on one end or the other (or both)

As BlueGal says, "Too close to home."

Overheard in St. Louis


By the time you find out, it's a little late

Man, to female partner (presumed wife) over supper at the Bread Co.:

"First Laci Peterson, now Stacy Peterson -- women just shouldn't marry guys named Peterson!"

So much for professional courtesy


Obligatory joke -- feel free to skip

(With apologies to my baby brother and one of my favorite authors.)

To anybody who was a little worried about the shark attack on Oahu at Kaneohe Bay last weekend -- relax. We were nowhere near there. We swam with nothing bigger than sea turtles.

OK, the snark: Y'know the guy who was bitten? He was a lawyer.

Fun-neh


Go read the Hausfrau

I found my way over to Offsprung when Flea announced she'd be writing for them. The group of 14 blogs covers parenting from various angles, some with a particular emphasis like popular culture, gadgets, or food. Although most of the writers are aiming at the kids-under-10 parents, funny is funny even if it's just "been there, glad I'm done."

But especially fun is Angela Roy's Hausfrau. I'll let Angela introduce herself:

...a cranky, liberal, self-employed, Italian-American, Episcopalian, Bronx-born, Jersey-bred thirtysomething currently buckling under the demands — and the joys! Don’t forget the joys! — of two colorful young sons; a husband who steadfastly refuses to be George Clooney; two cats (one fat, one stupid); and a craptacular, 100-year-old house.

She juxtaposes the most opposite of cinema and television references in a single entry, refers to her bathroom renovations of Roman fixtures in the original Latin, and deserves one of Phantom Scribbler's awards for her invention of a new adjective, "Bonaducily," to describe the walk of the James Cagney clone that she's raising as her younger son.

loltrek


Becuz U can't has too much lolz


Sites like I Can Has Cheezburger? -- cute photos with snarky captions in an odd grammar -- are known collectively as lolcats. Our boy Wil points us to a "logical" extension dreamed up by Stephen at Live Granades (like a blog, but explodier): loltrek. (Above lol photo is Stephen's. He'd make a fortune selling posters to TrekGeeks. If he could duck Universal's attack-lawyers.)
