Carmen sends along this terribly sad video, and she even “laughed” at it! So insensitive.
While driving to lunch today, I was reviewing my Spanish with a disc from the library. I have to say I pretty much lost it when the voice said, “Luisa esta constipada.” What?! How is that essential basic Spanish? And why don’t they teach this word in junior high?
Turns out, that means that Luisa has a cold. How does that word make such meaningful jump from one language to the next? Anyway, I guess you could say I felt pretty embarazada.
You know if I didn’t have poker on Saturday that I’d be totally down at Pillow Fight Club MSP, if only because I’m dying to get pictures of that. I dare not let my imagination prejudge the experience.
Last Saturday night at my regular poker game, I sat back down at the table after getting a beer, only to find Ryan wearing a t-shirt with this picture on it. Moral: think before you pose on film. I’m not sure how I’ve failed to learn that lesson
It’s OK, though. There are other t-shirts to make.
How dumb would you have to be to try to rob David Copperfield? At best, he’d just going to make what he has disappear. But on a bad day, he might make you disappear. He is certainly capable.
When I saw the photo below this morning, I was sure it was Joe Pesci, dressed hilariously as Santa. I knew Ryan would appreciate it, so I sent it to him. He had already seen it, thinking it was Robert Blake.
We were both wrong, as the short, tough guy is none other than Pope Ben XVI. Hilarious. Now go get your f’ing shine box!
And the award to funniest use of a web cam goes to these two clowns:
Heard on A Prairie Home Companion this weekend:
What does George W. Bush have in common with a turtle on a post?
- You know he didn’t get there by himself.
- You know he doesn’t belong there.
- You know he’s not going to get anything done up there.
- You just want to help him down.
