Overheard

And this, fellow readers, is why Miss Cellania is probably the best writer we've ever had. A thing of beauty. -YesButNoButYes

...Miss Cellania who’s wonderfully funny and knowledgeable and also happens to write for Mental Floss. Her personal blog is updated as often as any multi-contributor blog site and has some wonderful gems... -Infinite Well

Miss Cellania has links, doctored-up photos staring Miss C. herself and YouTube videos from anywhere and everywhere on the internet. If it's funny, you'll probably see it first on her blog. -Suzanne Broughton

Miss Cellania has a site that is to die for. Whenever it’s time for a bit of a smile, interspersed with a gaffaw or two, I head on over there. -Compass Points

If you’re jonesing for more links you may want to visit Miss Cellania’s blog. Or should I say blogs. She’s like the blogosphere’s version of that Jamaican family from In Living Color. She has more blogs than they had jobs. If she starts contributing to one more blog I’m going to stage an intervention. -Cynical-C

I could never in a million years come up with half the wonderful facts, news, links et al that pepper every post she creates. -Mad Baggage

It’s a fantastic set of funny and interesting links, jokes and pictures that she compiled *every day*! -Neatorama

She finds the coolest, funniest stuff day after day. How on earth she does this I have no clue. -NYC Educator

I don't even know how I found Miss C, but I remember the first time I was there, I burned my chocolate chip cookies. I just couldn't stop browsing! Fun stuff over there. -Boomer Chick

If you're not regularly heading over and reading her well compiled, link-filled-goodness posts already, then maybe you should take a step back and do some self reflection and introspection to make sure your life is headed the direction it needs to be and that you're on a path that is fulfilling to you and your fellow man, as a person and as an American. -Hoodlumman

Funniest woman alive. -Pixie

It is quite possibly one of the most extensive sites I have seen for links to humourous content. It is a virtual encyclopedia for a myriad of different jokes on different topics and still growing. So a good site and worth checking out, theres definitely something for everyone, or anyone whos up for a laugh that is! -Mr. Joe Blog

BTW - you quite possibly put together the best, most well researched content on the web, bigtime kudos to you! -Anita B

One place I keep going back to is Miss Cellania. She really has it going on over there. Her posts are chock full of stuff I've never seen before, along with a few old favorites I had forgotten about. Anyone that can consistently come up with that much good stuff deserves kudos. -Blue Beaver Beer

Miss Cellania - is a great read, and there’s more than enough laughs to kill an evening with, on any given day. Miss C has her fingers on the pulse of every joke on the web that you haven’t seen yet. -Saskboy

(Funny, if a tad lowbrow) -Utopia Moment

Fabulous as usual..I appreciate all of the effort..and I am truly humbled. -Homo Escapeons

I'm not even sure why I thought her post is funny, but it is. That's all you're getting from me. Go read it. -konagod

YAY! Miss Cellania knows I'm alive!! -Fuzzy Dave

Oldsters

The internet is a great place for young and old to collide. And maybe learn something. I’ve learned a lot about how different Gen X and Gen Y thinks by reading what they post on public forums and blogs. I’ve also learned a lot from folks who are way older than me! Really, when you read and type and communicate, no one knows how old you are, or what generation you belong to, unless you tell them. Sometime you can hazard a guess by the things they write, and maybe learn something new. I’m pretty proud of the diversity of people I’ve “met” on the net. Old folks are the best! Especially the ones who can take a joke.

The Zimmers


The average age of The Zimmers is 78. Lead singer Alf Carrera is 90 years old. Other band members are 99 and 100 years old! The single will be released on May 14th. Visit The Zimmers’ Myspace page.

THE CRUISE

A lady goes to the bar on a cruise ship and orders a Scotch with two drops of water. As the bartender gives her the drink she says, "I'm on this cruise to celebrate my 80th birthday and it's today.."

The bartender says, "Well, since it's your birthday, I'll buy you a drink. In fact, this one is on me."

As the woman finishes her drink, the woman to her right says, "I would like to buy you a drink, too."

The old woman says, "Thank you. Bartender, I want a Scotch with two drops of water."

 "Coming up," says the bartender.

As she finishes that drink, the man to her left says, "I would like to buy you one, too."

The old woman says, "Thank you. Bartender, I want another Scotch with two drops of water."

"Coming right up," the bartender says.

As he gives her the drink, he says, "Ma'am, I'm dying of curiosity. Why the Scotch with only two drops of water?"

The old woman replies, "Sonny, when you're my age, you've learned how to hold your liquor. Holding your water, however, is a whole other issue."

Do you ever get the idea that everyone who designs fun stuff on the web is a kid? Try this test.

You Are 22 Years Old
Under 12: You are a kid at heart. You still have an optimistic life view - and you look at the world with awe. 13-19: You are a teenager at heart. You question authority and are still trying to find your place in this world. 20-29: You are a twentysomething at heart. You feel excited about what's to come... love, work, and new experiences. 30-39: You are a thirtysomething at heart. You've had a taste of success and true love, but you want more! 40+: You are a mature adult. You've been through most of the ups and downs of life already. Now you get to sit back and relax.


Well its all nice and good to think that I act 22, but there were some problems with this test. For example, one question asked what your living arrangments are. The choices are:
# You live with your mom and dad... and love it!
# You live with your parents, unfortunately
# You live alone or with roomates
# You live with your boyfriend or girlfriend
# You live with your spouse
And none of those apply to me. I live with my children. And what is this about sitting back and relaxing because you are over 40? Like that's old or something! Yes, this has to have been designed by someone under, say, 25.

 
Sculptor Joel Haas’ latest work is called The Golden Couple, a commissioned work for Jerry and Nina’s 40th anniversary. I believe he has really captured their personalities!

THE HEARING AID

An elderly gentleman had serious hearing problems for a number of years. He went to the doctor and the doctor was able to have him fitted for a set of hearing aids that allowed the gentleman to hear 100%.

The elderly gentleman went back in a month to the doctor and the doctor said, "Your hearing is perfect. Your family must be really pleased that you can hear again."

The gentleman replied, "Oh, I haven't told my family yet. I just sit around and listen to the conversations. I've changed my will three times!"

Perks of being over 60

(via Bits and Pieces)
1. Kidnappers are not very interested in you.
2. In a hostage situation you are likely to be released first.
3. No one expects you to run--anywhere.
4. People call at 9 PM and ask, Did I wake you????
5. People no longer view you as a hypochondriac.
6. There is nothing left to learn the hard way.
7. Things you buy now won't wear out.
8. You can eat supper at 4 PM .
9. You can live without sex but not your glasses.
10. You get into heated arguments about pension plans.
11. You no longer think of speed limits as a challenge.
12. You quit trying to hold your stomach in no matter who walks into the room.
13. You sing along with elevator music.
14. Your eyes won't get much worse.
15. Your investment in health insurance is finally beginning to payoff.
16. Your joints are more accurate meteorologists than the national weather service.
17. Your secrets are safe with your friends because they can't remember them either.
18. Your supply of brain cells are finally down to a manageable size.
19. You can't remember where you got this list .
And you notice these are all in Big Print for your convenience.


HOW TRUE IT IS

Another year has passed
            and we're all a little older.
            Last summer felt hotter
            and winter seems much colder.

I rack my brain for happy thoughts,
            to put down on my pad, 
           But lots of things that come to mind
            just make me kind of sad.

There was a time not long ago
            when life was quite a blast.
            Now I fully understand
            about "Living in the Past".

We used to go to friends homes,
            football games and lunches.
            Now we go to therapy, to hospitals,
            and after-funeral brunches. 

We used to have hangovers,
            from parties that were gay.
            Now we suffer body aches
            and sleep the night away.

We used to go out dining,
            and couldn't get our fill.
            Now we ask for doggie bags,
            come home and take a pill.

We used to often travel
            to places near and far.
            Now we get backaches
            from riding in the car.

We used to go out shopping
            for new clothing at the Mall
            But, now we never bother..
            all the sizes are too small.

That, my friend is how life is,
            and now my tale is told.
            So, enjoy each day and live it up...
            before you're too darn old!!

How appropriate! I'm celebrating my birthday today, and lets just say that Ike was president the year I was born.
