Heavy Sigh

[charliesmum]

I still can't quite seem to get myself out of the funk I'm in. Not sure why. I just feel like I can't do anything right, and that everything is just getting away from me.

Anyway...whatever. This too shall pass, worse things happen at sea, don't worry, be happy, etc. etc.

Have you heard that story about the "My Space" girl that went off to the Middle East to meet a guy? She had to have been behind the door when logic was handed out, don't you think? And how does a teenager get the money to go to Jordan? And I would think minors would need parental permission or something to travel internationally. The whole thing is bizzare. The mother did say computers are no longer welcome in her house, but if I were her I wouldn't let my daughter out of the house unchaperoned until she was finished college.

I don't know much about My Space, but it sure gets its share of bad press, doesn't it?

I wish I had something more interesting to talk about.

Someone tell me jokes or something.

The reason MySpace gets so much bad press is because it's the only Internet blogging/personal profile service where you put in your real name so that people can search for you. Which is fun because your high school friends can find you, but every time a teenager does something stupid reporters type the name of said teenager into MySpace to see if they can find the kid's profile. Silly.

Here is a joke that λ told me:

A duck walks into a convenience store and says "Got any duck food?" The sales guy says "No, and we don't serve ducks here, you'll have to leave." So the duck leaves, but he shows up the next day and says, again, "Got any duck food?" The sales guy says "NO, and I told you yesterday to get out of here." The duck leaves again, but the next day he's back - "Got any duck food?" The sales guy says "I told you once and I told you twice. The next time you come in here, I'm nailing your feet to the floor." So the duck heads on out. The next day he's back. "Got any nails?" he asks. "No," the startled store owner says. "Oh. Well, got any duck food?"

Jamie tells that joke, except instead of duck food the duck is asking for something else, something really silly. I can't remember what it was.

Funny. And also, Wembly icon never goes amiss.

Here's a comic strip about "Blue's Clues" that I thought was pretty funny. (Warning: do not read if you actually like "Blue's Clues." It's got a bit of a "Pulp Fiction" vibe to it, if you know what I mean.)

I did like Blue's Clues - the classic one, with Steve, but this still made me laugh. Especially the bit about the talking soap.

I'm crap with the jokingness, I'm afraid. Plus, it's too hot for my brain to form any kind of coherent thought...

Silliest joke ever:

"I’d like two pork chops," I told my butcher, "and make them lean, won't you?"
"Yes, ma’am," said the butcher. "Which way?"

Also, check out my hilarious icon.

Both very silly and hilarious. Thank you. :)

Sports joke, but the only one I can think of right now:

The All Blacks are all set to play Australia, but they're just not looking forward to it. In bounces Carlos Spencer, their fullback. "Look, guys," he says, "you go on down to the pub; I'll play them by myself."

"Are you sure?"

"Yeah, no worries."

So the All Blacks head on down to the pub and have a couple. They get back after the game to discover that Australia won, 7-0.

"Carlos," they cry, "what went wrong?"

"I'm sorry," he says, "I got red-carded after ten minutes!"

*hugs* I know that feeling. Usually I have to get away for a while. I can tell you jokes though, I like jokes.

^^ Uhm...

so there were these strings, right? Well they lived in a rope neighborhood, okay? Well the one string was like "I want some beer" so he went to the beer store to get some beer, but the rope behind the counter was all like "I'm sorry, but you're just a string, I can't sell you any beer".

So the string went home and was sad. Well, the string's roomate was a slightly larger string, alright? And he says "I'll get you some beer, roomie!" and goes to the beer store. The rope behind the counter, however, is not fooled and once again says "I'm sorry, but you're just a string, I can't sell you any beer."

Now the LAST string is a very large string. He says "I'll get you guys beer." So he goes into the bathroom, puts on a trench coat, makes himself up a bit and goes to the store.

Now, by this time, the rope's a bit pissed at all the strings coming in and is like "LISTEN, I cannot sell you beer. You. Are. Just. A. String!"

And the string leans on the counter and goes "no, I'm afraid not."

(Trick, say this out loud)

No jokes, but the movie I watched last night had quite a few-including Mylton Burl trying to teach the lead how to tell a joke. A bonus, the last scene in the movie was one of the sexiest things I've ever seen-I wasn't supprised to find that this is one leading man that Marilyn Monroe had an affair with.

The title is Lets Make Love and that is the song he sings in the last scene. Pick of him at http://us.a2.yahoofs.com/groups/g_15727785/.HomePage/__sr_/8bd7.jpg?greG2jEB.81ERQPt

(((((hugs)))) I know the feeling...all you need is a hug. :-D

here's my joke, a bit vuglar, but I think you can handle it. It made me smile.



"Do you know what the doorman at the sperm bank says when people leave?"



"Thank you for coming!"


This joke was exhanged between George Burns and Rosie, as told in her book, "Find Me".

Uh... why did my friends list just tell me that this was the most recent entry posted, and why is it showing up with no comments?

[jessii-6.livejournal.com]

can't think of a joke right now
what happened to that girl, was she kidnapped or something?
I did this, once, too (not to Jordan 'though. That's not a viable option for me. Well, it is, technically, but I wouldn't consider it). It was awesome. I really enjoyed myself (not to mention it was pretty cheap when you have a place to stay and someone who knows all the cool plces to go).
Is it careless? Yes, I suppose so, but so what. I mean, you can easily die from lots of things, like being run-over, so imo it's just another chance you take.

[charliesmum.livejournal.com]

No, she wasn't kidnapped, she just ran off to Jordan.

Weird. But she's fine. Grounded until she's 30, possibly, but fine.

Where'd you go?

[jessii-6.livejournal.com]

Belgium.
We even took a train to Paris for the weekend (lucky me to get a french-speaking escort because of the French and a male escort because of the Muslims.)
so I say yes to meeting people online, but make sur eyou actually do know them. Well.
