Title: Little things that made you laugh today
Post by: Inlander on 23 Oct 2008, 05:38
I just saw an ad on Channel 10 for both Toy Story movies being screened back-to-back. In their innocence Channel 10 is promising "double the Woody".

I saw two dogs playing in a big puddle in the park on my walk to uni this morning and it made me smile and laugh inside a little.

There is some sort of old-people dance in our student union's ballroom today. I peeked in and saw 4 men over age 60 dancing to "I Will Survive" and having the time of their lives.

Watched Dr. Horrible's Sing-Along Blog for the umpteenth time.

Also, one of the girls I share a kitchen with totally reinforced my belief that (most of) the stereotypes concerning different branches of study are true in like 8 out of 10 people.

Man, he sounds like my programming languages-lecturer. He is fluent in Polish, Norwegian and English, and can also speak Russian, Italian and German "well". He has a medical degree, and on top of that a Master in Computer Science, and a PhD as well. Makes me feel completely inadequate, though, instead of making me laugh, simply because he is so goddamn intelligent.

Sounds like the kind of guy I might want to be, someday. Minus the medical degree.

Sounds like my best friend, actually. She's 24 and has three degrees (orbital mechanics, international studies, french) and is working on a medical degree. Artist, poet, singer, what have you. She's like a movie character, she's perfect. I love her to bits.

Feels good.

Well, last night I saw the first snowflakes that I've been awake for.

But today, I watch a stray cat play in falling leaves. It was magical.

EDIT: I just realized because the leaves are falling the cat will probably freeze to death within a month.

Now I am sad.

The Holidays are coming,
The season's changing fast.
Get out your winter sweaters,
'Cause summer's gone at last.
I'm going to be alone for Christmas.
I'll ring the New Years in by myself.
You took my heart,
And tore it apart,
So let it be known,
The Holidays are coming,
And I'm going to die alone.

Well, as cheery as that little poem was... today I laughed outloud watching 'Never Mind the Buzzcocks'. I was watching it alone and I always feel quite selfconscious when I realise I'm laughing outloud without anyone else laughing with me... even though there's no one around to judge me!

And the other day a little thing made me and a good friend laugh for ages, we both realised we were star wars geeks but had never known that about one another, despite knowing each other for 3 years...

A surprising amount of things make me laugh everyday! I am happy a lot of the time! Hooray for me!

Today's list included

Basil of Baker Street used on the side of a bookshop to advertise reading, for some reason.
Someone falling over (It's funny when it happens to other people)
My daily watching of Whose Line
My mates, like they do every day
And Tropic Thunder, which I watched twice today because I have nothing else to do aside from eating copious amounts of yoghurt

Today is my birthday and my mom insisted on making something for dinner, so I said cheeseburgers, because I really didn't care.  As it happens, the grease under the stovetop caught fire and I ended up with a rather crunch birthday burger.  Which is what I've come to expect.  My birthdays are generally positive, yet so many of the little things go wrong, I can't help but laugh sometimes.

My boyfriend got a fortune cookie today with his Chinese food that said:

"A secret admirer has been hiding his true feelings from you."

We thought that was a pretty hilariously bad idea for a fortune cookie.

I just saw an ad on Channel 10 for both Toy Story movies being screened back-to-back. In their innocence Channel 10 is promising "double the Woody".

I laughed at this yesterday, but it's even funnier if you include the second line as well:

"Double the woody, double the buzz!"

As a challenge, I'm going to try and use this phrase in conversation sometime in the next week.

And I don't think Channel 10 were innocent. It's their way of proving they can do the subtle hidden adult joke in a kid's movie thing that Pixar are so good at.

I don't know about that. I mean, it'd be nice to believe, but given the nature of commercial T.V. networks in Australia I find it much easier to believe that they're just stupid.

It reminds me of the slogan that Brashes had for a while (for the non-Australians in the audience, and those Australians who are too young to remember, Brashes was a chain of hi-fi stores): "If it's hot, we'll handle it." Shortly thereafter Brashes went bankrupt. Hmm . . .

I sent my friend a text message that I thought was pretty funny. She then called me for the sole purpose of chuckling. Really, my phone rang immediately, I answered, she laughed for a good 30 seconds and then hung up.

At Walmart, McDonald's has an over the PA ad that says,"Get your hot steamy french fries now, you don't even have to wait, they're delicious and hot! Waiting for you RIGHT NOW"

A childhood friend and I were wrestling and he made a weird joke about taking me in a womanly fashion in McDonalds(keep in mind this is a fellow who doesn't make jokes like that much)

I had like eight people as me if I was from Germany

I spent all last night hanging out with my international friends, 25 foreign kids, and I'm the only native one. Of course hilarity occurs, half of them were drunk and the other half barely speak english.

I saw a little kid fall down

Okay, so I was driving through the school zone near my house a couple months back and up ahead of me I saw this little kid being taught how to drive a bike. As I approached he slowed down until he stopped, and right as I passed I saw him very slowly tip over on his side until he keeled over.

Our new biology teacher saying  awesome things, like "don't trust anyone to be right without proof, especially not me!" and "I've thought out a plan for this class. You will get an a minus on average. This is not subject to debate." Normally I would laugh at things like that, but here is a man who speaks four languages fluidly, does 150 in bench press at 45 years old and has a degree in medicine - and is a really jovial, relaxed and intelligent person overall. Hell yeah!

That is exactly what i wanna be like when I grow up

This kid in all seriousness thought he still had to attend cadets on Friday afternoon despite being told otherwise for a week. I laughed at him.

The dogs are usually good for a laugh.  Tonight (in the dark, with their little three-colour flashing LED dangly things hanging off their collars, which is good for a laugh in itself), they ran round a copse in the local park chasing an urban fox (which I had in the beam of my torch), and when the fox darted away at a right-angle, they charged straight on and completely lost it.  They are hopeless.

The day was not funny, though - Microsoft issued its most important Windows security patch for years, and I spent much of the day getting all my servers patched and rebooted in working hours - I usually leave it till the evening or weekend, but had been advised not to in this case.  Get your Windows machines updated now, folks.

Who the hell plays drone metal as a busker?

That guy.

Not a bad idea, really. Most busking music is so basic and uninteresting that someone ought to try something new.

I was out flying with my dad when a guy is talking to his student over the radio where the whole world can hear him, teaching him how to properly go through the landing cycle (flaps, blah blah).

Another guy comes in on the radio and says "Hey man, thanks for the flying lesson, but I think (or at least hope) we all know how to land. Your mic is live." I lol'd.

I caught a little opossum tonight, right near the end of my shift. Some people think they're ugly, I think it was real cute, animals always make me smile. It didn't even try to bite me. it looked like this:

Everyone found it suspicious when my girlfriend announced that I'd won the game of mini-golf we played last night by considerable margin. Nobody but me bothered to actually double-check the scores, and it turns out she is either hideously bad at addition or is trying to get into my pants.
Guess which one I am banking on!

I know it is probably not something I should be laughing at but there was a press board thing (those little boards outside shops that give the headlines for newspapers) inside a shop window that was only half visible, and all I could read as I went past was "MAN FACES CHILD SEX".
