EHR: One president to another….

Email Humor Received (EHR): from OFGaP Jayne…the earthquake is not, but the punchline is just too funny. Regardless of your political lean, have a sense of humor for crying out loud!

Recognition of George W Bush by the Obama Administration

EHR: The New Orleans Saints Super Bowl Drinking Game

 

Email Humor Received (EHR) from _______ (I’m reserving that  name for now).

Mind you, neither Katrina nor the Haiti earthquake are laughing, to-be-taken-lightly catastrophies…but this game idea is funny. So lighten up, laugh at this and let it be my politically incorrect posting of the day/week/month/year.

This game suggestion reminds me of kegger softball, or the audience experience at the Rocky Horror Picture Show (although I’ve never had the “horror” of watching the show in a theatre).

This is also a classic example of the media ramming their agendas down the viewers throats to the gag point people start making jokes of it all…and speaking of throats, have a beverage of your choice in celebration of a Saints Super Bowl win….

BTW, the picture credit is not mine, but I list it as: SCOTT THRELKELD / THE TIMES-PICAYUNE Cousins Benji Soued, 4, of Boca Raton, FL, left, and Benjamin Soued, 2, of New York play football during a pre-Super Bowl party Sunday, February 7, 2010, at El Palacio Sports Hotel Convention Center. More than 500 Saints fans partied then marched to Sun Life Stadium in Miami Gardens, FL

Looking for the bare necessities

I’ve enjoyed a little back-scratching fun the past couple days with “Doppelgänger” week on Facebook…the week you change you profile picture to a famous person who’ve been told you look like.  Thanks be to FD’s high school chum Nicole, as it was her “status” posting of the event that got this all started with me. So I now have a new and temporary Facebook profile picture….

Well here’s the biggest reason why my picture-pick is so animated: since I was told many years ago when FD and FS gave back to me, the teasing I dished out to them, Disney’s ol’ Baloo the Bear (from Jungle Book…sorry for the “duh” moment guys) came first to mind. FD and FS said I was Baloo the Bear, maybe because of my shape, size, personality, singing talent, and/or back-scratching techniques, I guess. So now the teasing has started up again, this time with the Facebook “Friends”…I probably had it coming alright. No word yet from FD or FS….

EHR: Carson Show-George Gobel With Friends

This Email Humor Received came from Jayne…I think.

This guest appearance is an absolute riot – Gobel, Dean Martin, Bob Hope, and Carson. I sent this to my family email network already but it’s worth posting. I laugh as hard each time I watch it, and I proudly want to claim “today’s comedians don’t do funny like they use to”.

EHR: Can You Relate?

Email Humor Received from my equally aged-challenged good friend Jayne:

This is a story by David McClure from the Dallas News Community Opinion page.. 
  
$5.37.   That’s what the kid behind the counter at Taco Bueno said to me.  I dug into my pocket and pulled out some lint and two dimes and something that used to be a Jolly Rancher.   Having already handed the kid a five-spot, I started to head back out to the truck to grab some more change when the kid with the Emo hairdo said the harshest thing anyone has ever said to me.
 
He said, “It’s OK. I’ll just give you the senior citizen discount.” Continue reading “EHR: Can You Relate?”

EHR: Johnny Carson Sings

Email Humor Received from my dear friend Jayne…I sure miss Johnny, Sammy, Deano, and Frank.

This show was at Kiel Opera House in St Louis in June 1965, and was hosted by Johnny Carson. Carson had the Tonight Show and The Rat Pack were playing Vegas. This is supposed to be the ONLY time Carson sang in public. Look for Quincy Jones conducting the Basie band in the background.  Do not miss this performance, it can make your day !

EHR: Christmas Carols for Disturbed Friends

EHR – Women shouldn’t take men shopping

Email Humor Received received from buddy Shawn today – I could so do a least a few of these (#1, #2, #5, #7, #15 without hesitation), if I’m dragged to the fabric store, or when Deb and FD get together in the same store…ohhhhhh the pain of it all…I’m liable to employ any and/or all of these ideas:

WHY WOMEN SHOULDN’T TAKE MEN SHOPPING…or ever leave them alone.

After I retired, my wife insisted that I accompany her on her trips to Target.  Unfortunately, like most men, I found shopping boring and preferred to get in and get out.

Equally unfortunate, my wife is like most women – she loves to browse.  Yesterday my dear wife received the following letter from the local Target.

Dear Mrs. Samuel,

I shake my head and drop trough

It has been a while since I posted about Raving Fan service. Maybe too long. Today was good in that it provided me reason to shake my head. Shaking in disbelief? Yes. Shaking in “tell me I didn’t just hear that”. Yes. Shaking in “I got something in my ear”? Yes.

Here’s my shaking story: I’ve been home-medicating a sinus cough all week. After a couple idle threats and a plea or two (all from Deb and FD), I called my 25-year+ doctor to schedule an appointment – it was 12:45 p.m. I got the ever-pleasant phone recorder saying “our office hours are…we take lunch from 12:00-1:00”. I hung up thinking I really needed to run a business like that – don’t take phone calls over lunch. I called back after 1pm and a young lady answered. I asked to see “Jack” for a coughing aliment (I really don’t like to see anyone else but Jack). Continue reading “I shake my head and drop trough”

EHR: Simon’s Sister’s Dog in ‘Fed Up’

Gang, I am so sorry for all these YouTubes lately. It seems every one I’m sent or watch lately strikes a funny bone in me. I promise I will return to my sarcastic ways real soon.

This YouTube is on OFNi DaniC’s Facebook wall from OFNi Whitty…I think. It is funny and sad all in the same clip, none the less. Be sure to listen carefully at the 1 minute 10 second mark of the clip – I’ve got a dog just like Simon’s Sister’s :) Continue reading “EHR: Simon’s Sister’s Dog in ‘Fed Up’”

What he’s done – naada

Just in case you missed it, see the YouTube below of President Obama’s address to the Nation as to what he has thus far accomplished while in office. Ya just sometimes gotta love good SNL skits. It seems they (good skits) can get so far and so few in between these days.

One refreshing thing about Saturday Night Live, they usually will not pull punches on their satirical renditions (or meanness) of any one political party’s lunacy, or a celebrity’s stupidity.

Regardless of your political persuasion, this is funny. If not…lighten up would ya. Continue reading “What he’s done – naada”

EIR: This explains why I forward jokes…

Email Inspiration Received (EIR) today from my good friend David (Stapp), whom I haven’t spoken face-to-face with in probably 8 years, but have recently been forwarding emails to each other. Here’s how this message goes today:

_____________________________________________

A man and his dog were walking along a road. The man was enjoying the scenery, when it suddenly occurred to him that he was dead.

He remembered dying, and that the dog walking beside him had been dead for years. He wondered where the road was leading them.

After a while, they came to a high, white stone wall along one side of the road. It looked like fine marble. At the top of a long hill, it was broken by a tall arch that glowed in the sunlight. Continue reading “EIR: This explains why I forward jokes…”

Oddities of the Day, Week, Month for October

Who knew this? Today’s Full Moon (10/4/09) is called a “Hunter’s Moon”. Native Americans of New England and the Great Lakes refer to the full moon at this time of the year because the deer are fat and it’s time to hunt (as well as many other animals). Since all the crops are harvested, it’s now time to gather food by hunting animals…but it’s all kind of contrary to the weekly observance of 10/26: Give Wildlife a Break Week.

October is an incredibly busy (and popular) month for special occasions and observances. I trust y’all will be joining me in the on-going daily, weekly, and monthly holiday and event celebrations in October.  Of all the observances going on this month, I would like to point out a few of particular interest to me:

  • 10/11: It’s My Party Day (on a Sunday? Come on!)
  • 10/12: International Moment of Frustration Scream Day…and also, National Kick Butt Day (I wonder if that is planned of just a coincidence?)
  • 10/15: National Grouch Day (leave me alone!)
  • 10/18: National Menopause Day (comment reserved as a self-preservation measure)
  • 10/19: Evaluate Your Life Day (especially if you didn’t observe National Menopause Day the day before)
  • 10/30: National Candy Corn Day (do they also have a Circus Peanut Day?)
  • 10/31: National Knock Knock Jokes Day (orange you glad I didn’t say…)
  • Week of 10/4: National Carry a Tune Week (Where’s my FD when you need her)
  • Week of 10/11: Build Your Business with Business Cards Week and Getting the World to Beat a Path to Your Door Week (wouldn’t it be nice if your business card did that for you all the time)
  • Week of 10/26: Give Wildlife a Break Week (put your guns away)
  • National “Gain The Inside Advantage” Month (always)
  • National Go On A Field Trip Month (I’m ready! I’m there! With camera!)
  • National Sarcastic Awareness Month (this blog observes this holiday all year long)
  • Photographer Appreciation Month (smile on three)
  • Squirrel Awareness Month (are we talking about animal or people?)
  • Sausage Month (as long as it’s with a biscuit, egg, and some cheese)
  • Month of Free Thought (can I get your permission please?) Continue reading “Oddities of the Day, Week, Month for October”

EHR (sort of): Exercise is good for you

From OFNi Whitty Facebook posting: Hilarious Shake Weight Exercise for Women Video

I reserve any comment and I hope you will too. I still have tears in my eyes on this one. And BTW, just because I’ve linked the YouTube commercial does not mean the product gets the coveted tmay82.wordpress.com endorsement. Continue reading “EHR (sort of): Exercise is good for you”

I don’t want to run anymore, Forrest

So it is on this day – today – I receive an email from “Runners World” magazine. It starts out saying this:

You’re a runner. Whether you run for your health, to lose weight, or the sheer joy of hitting the road, running is an important part of who you are – and who you want to be. And no one makes it easier to get more out of your passion for running than RUNNER’S WORLD. Continue reading “I don’t want to run anymore, Forrest”

EHR: Wisdoms, Questions, and Findings

From OFNi Dani – I don’t get emails from her often, but she and I, we’re both standing on the same peg on the humor ladder. So when her funny emails do come in, they are usually tear-wipers for me:

  1. I wish Google Maps had an “Avoid Ghetto” routing option.
  2. More often than not, when someone is telling me a story all I can think about is that I can’t wait for them to finish so that I can tell my own story that’s not only better, but also more directly involves me.
  3. Nothing sucks more than that moment during an argument when you realize you’re wrong. Continue reading “EHR: Wisdoms, Questions, and Findings”

EHR – Be not so quick to judge

from the Todd-man:

A new pastor was visiting in the homes of his parishioners.  At one house it seemed obvious that someone was at home, but no answer came to his repeated knocks at the door.

Therefore, he took out a business card and wrote ‘Revelation 3:20’ on the back of it and stuck it in the door.

When the offering was processed the following Sunday, he found that his card had been returned.  Added to it was this cryptic message, ‘Genesis 3:10. Continue reading “EHR – Be not so quick to judge”
