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.

Caption Contest, boy dumping water from roof

Welcome to another caption contest! It’s been a while, so let’s go over the “rules”. (Don’t worry, there’s no legalese / fine print here.)

1) Say something funny and/or random about the picture.
2) Keep it clean and family-friendly.

That’s it!

Here are some tips: What are the people thinking (before or after)? What might they say? Why did this happen? What might happen after this? Also remember that you can create circumstances however you want. You could also speak from the point-of-view of a narrator or anyone else you think up. It doesn’t have to be realistic, either — you could imagine it as part of a movie. Basically, anything goes as long as it’s funny and clean. Have fun!

Let me also add that comments continue to get added, so check back occasionally. There’s a Recent Comments section in the sidebar, or you can also subscribe to the comments for a post to receive them by e-mail if you prefer.

funny pictures, episode 15

Welcome to another edition of funny pictures.  Do I need to say more?

Do the iPod and iMac designs look so original now? A quick glance online shows that this could be intentional.

It wasn’t quite that bad… at least most of the time…

Uhh… although that would be really random…

Isn’t it amazing what difference a little CGI can make?

Supposedly this was an actual game for the Atari 2600. Judging by the title, I really don’t know what to think. Are there tanks or not?

funny pictures, episode 14

More funny pictures, ‘nuf said.

Not that protesting is necessarily wrong… but camping out for weeks or months just isn’t feasible if you have a job.

Merry & Pippin convince the Ents they have a faster way to Isengard.

I sure hope someone didn’t really write that. I’m scared to look…

So maybe it’s technically not funny, but it’s a somewhat lighthearted way of looking at a serious issue that’s been getting a lot of press lately.
