News Flash: Congratulations to Scaramouch (webmaster at YesButNoButYes) and  Cindy on the arrival of their littlest blogger, born  at 1:00AM today! Boy or girl? He didn’t say, but you can see a picture here.

You probably haven't noticed (there's no reason you should) that I haven't posted "May's Best Links" or "June's Best Links". That idea was useful in its time, but now it is way too much trouble. I started doing it to make finding old links in the archives easier (mainly for myself). But now I finally have the archives in this blog almost cleaned up, sorted, and categorized. Near the top of the right sidebar, you'll see "Topics". That takes you to an alphabetical listing of post titles. I try to begin a title with the topic, but it doesn't work that way every time. Way down on the sidebar, under "Archives", you can get  posts by month or category (such as "cats" or "Star Wars"). So if you need some jokes or material, check it out. It's not completely cleaned up, but I'm getting there.

Speaking of needing material, if anyone has a great idea for my Mental Floss posts (photo-intensive collections of anything interesting), I'd like to hear it! I don't mind doing the research, but inspiration is tough.



Hey There Delilah -Josh Romea

For waiting in line, no one on earth can beat the Japanese. I think.

Russian Sparta. This is too funny! Scenes of Russian life, many from viral videos you’re familiar with, set to the soundtrack of the trailer for the movie 300. (Thanks, Jan!)

Josh Blue of last season’s Last Comic Standing uses his Cerebral Palsy as a source of material instead of a disability.

Another Neatorama trifecta: Couchmoflage, Catmoflage, and Carmoflage. Bonus: See if you can spot the British soldiers in this picture.

ICE FISHING

(via Bits and Pieces)
There were two bubbas from Alabama who love to fish, and they wanted to try some ice fishing.

They'd heard about it up in Canada, and they took off for up there. The lakes were frozen nicely. They stopped just before they got to a lake at a little bait shop and got all their tackle. One of them said, "We're going to need an ice pick."

So they got that, and they took off. In about two hours, one of them was back at the shop and said, "We're going to need another dozen ice picks."

Well, the fellow in the shop wanted to ask some questions, but he didn't. He sold him the picks, and the the guy left.

In about an hour, he was back. "We're going to need all the ice picks you've got."

The bait man couldn't stand it any longer. "By the way," he asked, "how are you fellows doing?"

"Not very well at all," he said. "We don't even have the boat in the water yet."

The Hauntening (Thanks, Jan!)

Who is this man? I recognized him!

Guyliner, the scourge of masculinity. Jack Sparrow gets a pass, though.

LOL80s. Most are about as funny as the 80s were, meaning not at all, but there’s an occasional gem like this one to the right. (via Grow-A-Brain)

THE OUTHOUSE

(via Old Horsetail Snake)
Ma came in the house and yelled, "Pa! You need to go out and fix the outhouse."

He says, "There ain't nothin' wrong with the outhouse."

Ma yells back, "Yes there is! Now get out there and fix it!"

So Pa moseys out to the outhouse, looks around, and yells back, "Ma! There ain't nothin' wrong with the outhouse!"

She replied, "Stick yer head in the hole."

To which Pa responded, "I ain't stickin' my head in the hole."

But she insists: "You gotta stick yer head in the hole to see what's wrong."

So now, Pa sticks his head in the hole, looks around, and yells to Ma, "There ain't nothin' wrong with this outhouse, I tell ya."

"Now," she yells back, "take yer head outta the hole!"

Pat proceeds to back out of the hole, but then starts yellin', "Ma! Help! My beard is stuck in the cracks in the toilet seat!"

To which Ma replies, "Hurts, don't it?"
