Mark Ecko Makes Me Laugh

by

Here’s the story:

Ecko is Awesome – that’s right, it’s up to us to decide the fate of#756.
Bonds called him an idiot. Ouch. Now he has no team – bigger ouch!

I told you I was in the stands at the Mariners/Red Sox listening to him booed by thousands when he hit 755. (WTF is up with my Red Sox, btw?)

This is that story.

Here’s the site,

Vote 756 dot com

if you want to vote. I went for “Brand It” because that’s what I feel the situation deserves. It won’t be forgotten. But it could serve as a lesson.
No, snippy, it’s different than the Pats. Just because it is.

Using “Like” Or “As”

by

This website, cracked.com, is pretty funny. There are many many lists of things that I would remember and write about if I were smarter. Or at least more resourceful. Or knew how to use the internet. Or…well, you get the idea.

Here’s the list of the 12 Most Ridiculous Similes in Music History for starters.

The album titles list and the bad band names list would be high on MY list of good lists as well.

Thanks, Brother

Yes, Mom, there’s a swear on that, but it’s not MY swear, it’s the cartoonist’s. And he kind of sums up my life nicely. Ironic, isn’t it?

The real irony is that my brother sent that to me. He does, indeed, think I’m a s****y blogger. Slash novelist. Sigh.

Common Goals

by

Recently at a party, MK was telling the story of his old roommate, the sweetest guy ever. He was independently wealthy and a college student for life. Well, MK’s going on and mentions our favorite fact about the guy, “His goals in life were to try to amass every college credit there, and to find the perfect third ingredient for Mac and Cheese.” This always make me laugh, since there’s a nice little dichotomy between those things.

Apparently, it’s not as outrageous as I thought. Party-goers all began shouting their most obvious answers.

“Hot dogs!”
“Crackers!”
“Peas!”
“Salsa!”
“Hot Wings!”
“I like carrots.”
“Lemon Pepper, totally!”

I couldn’t breathe, stuck in that silent laugh I get when I’m totally shocked. So, I learned that many more people have tried this than I imagined.

Great Marketing

by

Find the time to click this link, and tab through all the pages on the bottom right. (About 30 or so.) Miranda July does a hilarious job of making me want to read her book. I love it and wish I could think of something half as creative.

Oh, but I need to have a finished book first.

That part keeps messing with me.

I want one of these, please.

This inflatable lounger has two joystick-controlled shrouded propellers to move you around. My next home just might have its own pool, and then it’s on. I’ll never have to yell ‘Get me a drink’ again. Link –via Neatorama

Trendspotting/ Important News

by

This is over a month old, I’m ashamed to admit. I would have had it much much sooner if I was better at the internet. I love Demetri Martin and didn’t even know he’d been on the Daily Show.

Here you go:

Ooh, and here’s another:

The Brother Joke

by

It’s so bad, it’s funny!

The Dumb Brother

A pregnant woman is in a car accident and falls into a deep coma. Asleep for nearly six months, she wakes up and sees that she is no longer pregnant. Frantically, she asks the doctor about her baby. The doctor replies, “Ma’am, you had twins! A boy and a girl. The babies are fine. Your brother came in and named them.” The woman thinks to herself, “Oh no, not my brother, he’s an idiot!”
Expecting the worst, she asks the doctor, “Well, what’s the girl’s name?”
“Denise,” says the doctor.
The new mother thinks, “Wow, that’s not a bad name! I guess I was wrong
about my brother. I like Denise!” Then she asks the doctor, “What’s the boy’s name?”
The doctor replies, “Denephew.”
