Wednesday Musical Wierdness – Mis-heard O Fortuna Lyrics
The Perils of Modernity
So, sometime last Friday afternoon, my author email address was hacked and used to send out several different kinds of spam to simply everybody on my contacts list, for which I apologize abjectly. It’s some small comfort that a good many of the addresses in it were no longer valid. And at least the spammers… More »
Belatedly for the Olympics
A Mini concert … Courtesy of one of those emails…
Building a Better Tomorrow
Tomorrow… Found, courtesy of a comment thread on PJ Media.
Military Geek Humor
Yes, never underestimate the capacity for extremely bored and intelligent military personnel in amusing themselves. Yeeks – and this was even published in a presumably responsible military-oriented publication. Kinda puts my whole being sarcastic about the movies scheduled for late Friday night at Zaragosa AB in the local TV Guide kinda pale … although I… More »
Things That Make You Start to Laugh Uncontrollably
So there we were last Monday evening , sharpening up our awareness of odd things one might pick up at a yard sale or a thrift store for fifty cents or a dollar and which might later turn out to be worth a small or medium-sized fortune, by watching Antiques Road Show (US version) when… More »
When the Rock Gods Get Old
Courtesy of Ed Driscoll… Yeah, I laughed my a** off. Or I would have, except that I had to take a couple of Tylenol first…
Cultural Mash-Ups
Or stuff too weird to believe, at first… All righty then – what do you get when you mash-up Charles’ Dickens best-known work … and a Star Trek alien race? You get A Christmas Carol performed in Klingon, with suitable cultural references and staging. No, I am not making this up. Story is at the… More »
Michelle Antoniotte and Her Vacation in Spain
Apparently, our own very dear royals are having a wonderful time in Spain. Kinda makes GWB chopping brush on the ranch in Crawford look positively plebian. Found through Neo-neocon
Another, Really?!! Moment
With all the other things going on: President Obama’s running away from Washington to Chicago; This administration making post-Hurricane Katrina look successful; The Obama Presidency throwing former President Clinton under the bus in the Sestak sleaze-fest. You may have missed this bit of news yesterday. I received this from the HQ NORAD/NORTHCOM GROUP on Facebook… More »
Art Humor
Found through 2Blowhards, who thought it was a clever concept, but the examples posted just weren’t all that funny. I disagreed – the whole blog is here: obscure vintage works of art, with new titles. #91, The USS Conan O’Brian is especially hilarious.
I Love the Smell of Dripping Sarcasm in the Morning
(From one of those e-mails going around, this one from the military broadcaster’s discussion group, a well-known nest of racists and terrorist sympathizers. This will no doubt get me on several watch lists as a person of doubleplusungoodness.) Wonderful news! After astonishing the world by receiving the Nobel Peace Prize that was so richly deserved… More »
The Mockery, It begins
And it burns, it burns us, it does! Yeah, I saw this at Protein Wisdom. In a perfect world, this would have been on Saturday Night Live. Alas, most funny and deeply sarcastic stuff is on YouTube, these days.
Baiting the Humorless
Oh, man – there are some people who just cannot take being laughed at, as richly as they deserve it. Kudos for Sacha Baron Cohen, for having a brass pair … tastefully trimmed with some fashionable and expensive designer-something-or-other, I am sure.
For Your Amusement And Delectation
The stupidest, least-convincing and most inept spam/quasi-Nigerian Email ever received by yr Humble Correspondent is pasted in its entirely for your amusement. And you know what is the scariest part? There are no doubt one or two people who will fall for this. G*d only knows who they voted for in the last election, although… More »
Burning Question for Today
Ummm… ok, so I just saw this picture on another site, and went to find the link… And, although I myself am now a lady of certain age and think it very bad taste to make fun of people’s looks, especially the somewhat aged and never-terribly-dishy… (glass houses, stones, and all that.) Can anyone tell… More »
Data Stream
Still waiting to see if there will be another “Tea Party-San Antonio” in the near future, in which case Blondie and I will happily join in; the weather is fine and mild, and I wouldn’t mind at all a chance to actually commingle in the real-world with some of the other people that I know… More »
Another Country Heard From
A send-up from Israel’s answer to “Saturday Night Live”, on BBC coverage of the current situation in Gaza Link: Found by degrees through Rantburg and Hot Air. Enjoy – it’s subtitled, which puts almost everyone in on the joke. Look, haven’t I been saying we ought to make fun of these guys … and this… More »
A Simple, Dog-related Question
What do you call a little doggy who is the result of a cross between a chihuahua and a Shi-tzu? (and what would you give to have not been present at that moment, the barking would have been deafening!?) Blondie and I spotted one, in Fredericksburg last weekend – kinda cute, actually. But small, and… More »
Wow, I’ve Been Out of It
I didn’t even hear about them Rickrolling the Macy’s Thanksgiving Parade. To give you a little background: Rickrolling is a bait and switch meme, sending someone a link with something like, “Hey, go watch this cool video about cute kittens.” or cool explosions or etc. and then spoof the link so that it takes you… More »
Oliver Stone’s Next Movie Trailer
Link sent to me by a contact who works for a publicity company which provides me with DVD movies to review… Funny thing, I think this is meant to be disparaging to Governor Palen, but for various reasons it comes off as more of a slam on Oliver Stone. Certainly, her last line is a… More »
Chris Muir Needs Your Help
If you’ve got a few extra bucks and you’ve been enjoying Chris Muir’s Day by Day for the past few years…go hit his PayPal Button. Day by Day is now his only income and I would hate to see him have to shut it down. Besides…anyone who can still make a cowbell joke? Come ON.… More »
Robert Ferrigno at NRO
Giggle, snort, guffaw…STOP!!!
Still Here, Still Busy
(I am still here, just frantically busy – for your amusement and delectation, a story sent to me by another IAG writer) A Texas rancher got in his pickup and drove to a neighboring ranch and knocked at the door. A young boy, about 9, opened the door. “Yer Dad home?’ the rancher asked. ‘No… More »
Bizarre Monday Musical Medley
For your delectation and delight on this Monday – first, a performance of “Smoke On the Water” by classical Japanese musicians… and if that doesn’t peg your strange-meter, how about the Leningrad Cowboys and the Red Army Chorus in concert? Enjoy… especially the tractor.
Child Labor
I know its old, but still funny Here’s a truly heartwarming story about the bond formed between a little 5-year-old girl and some construction workers that will make you believe that we all can make a difference when we give a child the gift of our time. A young family moved into a house, next… More »
