I laughed.

Comedy gold for your cold black heart from this guy.

Is this an old Monty Python joke?

I'm easily amused:

'Gosh, Talulah, let's kill her.'

Forget all your fuzzy feelings about those Malory Towers books you read as a kid; Enid Blyton had a mean streak in her when she didn't have her morning coffee:

Hat tip to 'dylans' over at Urban 75 for the very funny image. (S/he posted it on a thread on evolution.)
I wanted to see where the image originated from so that I could see if there were any other cartoons of a similar ilk, but the link to the gif leads you ultimately to this website.
Surely that can't be right?

Blog Light

I had a similar experience back in 1996 when I popped into Housmans to buy a copy of Radical Chains.

Anyway, shouldn't that guy be paying Ben Stiller royalties? And what are they selling again?

Is it because I'm not black?

It's like a flashback to the seventies when the unions were all powerful . . . the three second chat up.

Singin' in the Rain (Part Two)

Singin' in the Rain has to be one of my favourite films of all time. Definitely in my top ten, and it was on TCM tonight as part of a mini tribute to Cyd Charisse.

Of course, two minutes after the film ended I immdeiately thought of the classic Morecambe and Wise clip. I'm shallow like that.

Half-Time Humour

. . . and I don't mean the picture of a young Davie Provan auditioning for an MC5's tribute band.

Take it away Peter Grant:

"Peter Grant says the funniest thing he ever heard in football was during an old firm game.

Davie Provan was running rings round Alex McDonald. After one of his runs he walked past wee Doddy and says.

'I could keep a beach ball away from you in a phone box.'"

Fresh Fruit for Rotting Vegetables

Spotted this funny joke over in the comments box of Hak Mao yesterday:

"I remember I saw a comedian in Edinburgh a couple of years back who noted that during the Afghan war American planes dropped food aid packages that contained peanut butter and "jelly" sandwiches. He thought that this lacked cultural sensitivity saying it would be like dropping fresh fruit over Scotland." [Hat tip to 'Duct']

Not laughing at one of my own jokes for a change.

When In Alabama

From the latest episode of 'Real Time With Bill Maher':

BILL MAHER:Thank you very much. Thank you. How you doin’? Thank you. Thank you. Wow, what a crowd. I think I know why you’re happy tonight. ‘Cause Al Gore won the Nobel Prize, is that right? [applause] [cheers] That’s true. Al Gore won the Nobel Prize. Or as President Bush announced it: “Sweden is with the terrorists.” [laughter]

No. The President did not say that. What he said was, “The Nobel Prize is just a theory. It needs more study.” [laughter]

And you could tell Al Gore is still wary about these kind of things, because they told him today – they said, “You received the most votes.” He said, “Yeah? Who won?” [laughter] [applause] [cheers]
