a chocolate countdown

Did you survive the shopping madness that is Black Friday? I did, so you get more ramblings. Speaking of that, since large TVs are rather affordable now, I was hoping for some great deals on groceries instead, but didn’t find anything really discounted. (I suppose that means I’m officially an adult now, if I’m thinking more about grocery prices than getting a bigger TV on Black Friday.)

Now we’re into the busiest time of the year, but I’ll still make time to share some funny pictures related to Christmas.

I see these every year for Advent / Christmas, but a chocolate-a-day countdown seems like it would be good for a number of other events. What do you think?

Is this a fail? Or genius? Or some points for making a good attempt? Some might say it’s tacky, but is it still better than no car decoration?
This was also listed as a Christmas decorating fail. Granted, monkey flinging poop isn’t exactly holiday-themed, but it is funny.
Again, this was listed as a fail. It’s not Christmas, but it’s neat. If there was a “Star Trek Saves Christmas” episode, it probably did fail by being really cheesy. Seems like a lot of older shows had episodes like that.
It’s log!!!

For the log reference:

Bonus reference: When Phineas and Ferb became toy designers, they created Perry The Inaction Figure, which doesn’t do much. That’s the genius of it, because it can be anything to a kid with an imagination. (Think of how a box of random Lego blocks can be anything, but now so many Legos are kits. You can still build other things with a kit, but people are more likely to build what is on the box. Likewise with other toys — a generic action figure can be anything. But I digress…) After their day of being toy designers, they moved on. The Har D Har Toy Company tried to design another product with a similar ethos, coming up with Brick, which reminded me of Log.

Halloween pics – funny, cool jack-o-lanterns

It’s the law…
This is awesome. I don’t know if someone actually made this or not, but it looks great.
When you want Halloween to be cool…
They aren’t pumpkins, but this works really well.
I was saving them for the holidays, honest.

a story about that which needs no story

I’ve been thinking about resuming the “Funny Pictures” series. Does this warrant an explanation? Who knows? If you care, read on; if not, just enjoy the pictures. Whatever makes you happy. I’ll mix some pics in with the text, since it would be weird to talk about funny pictures without sharing some.

Sharing pictures from other sites seems like an awkward fit here, since I try to post original content. Anybody can copy pictures and share them. Yet there is still a collection of funny pictures I’ve saved over the years. Perhaps the people who enjoy my original posts will also enjoy the funny pictures, since they were curated by me and thus follow the same brand of humor. (This is assuming that somebody actually likes my original posts… I enjoy writing them, so doesn’t that mean there ought to be some people out there who would also enjoy them? I can dream…)

Alf was a TV show character in the ’80s. I wonder if the woman has any clue. Either way, more funny stuff ought to be hidden at political events, which tend to be devoid of humor.

BTW, this isn’t to take the place of original content. I’ll still post the same number of original articles (however infrequent that has become), and there are already many in various stages of readiness.

Maybe real butter should be called “truth”, in this context.

funny costumes, pt. 5

It’s that time again… So here’s more funny / innovative / impressive Halloween costumes.

Sure, you can make your own cosplay costume. Making it look realistic is a lot harder than you might think.
When you create your own costume, it’s good to get a second opinion. It shouldn’t look like you’re wearing a diaper…
Even Sauron gets sweet cravings… Just don’t mess up his order!
I don’t know what happened here…
Some things shouldn’t be supersized… this is scary!
This is high quality! The attention to detail is impressive. This took either a lot of time or money. It’s almost too good for trick-or-treating — this should be at a comic-con cosplay contest.

If you want to see more,
we’ve made several other posts of funny costumes (click to search).
