Unless you want to hear more about my yard, you’re going to have to deal with me having nothing else to say right now. But that’s never stopped me from actually posting. Here are some miscellaneous giggle-worthy links and photos.
The Loveliest Lori sent me these little gems:
All of these prints—any many more—can be purchased on a number of different products at Anne Taintor.
The Lovely Lori H shared the link to a hilarious web site called Texts From Last Night. They’re anonymous text messages (only the area codes are used) that probably should never have been sent. Here are a couple examples:
(902): My brain says no but my pants say off.
(323): You got in a fight last night?
(818): Yeah! Some dude in the bathroom...he was standing there and I notice he's got the same shirt as me on so I'm like...dude you should have called me, we look like idiots...he didn't say anything...so i got pissed and hit him...completely decimated and my hand was all bloody and covered with glass afterward...weird dude, never saw him again that night or since.
(323): Um...Did this guy happen to look almost exactly like you?
I typed “503” in the search box and was relieved to find just a few texts to/from northwest Oregon, and none from me. Not surprising, really, since I text very little and about very boring things. But this one caught my eye:
(503): We are walking down to the lake and then i dont know. Where did you sleep?
(509): Places.
(503): Plural? Please tell.
…because it could so easily be an exchange between me and Sherilee. Not so much the I-don’t-know-where-I-slept-last-night kind of thing, but the whole you-did-something-stupid?-OK-I-still-love-and-accept-you-but-need-details. The fact that it’s between our two actual area codes is a bit suspect too, although I think if this were to actually happen that she’d be the sane 503 one. I’m not more interesting than she is, but of the two of us, I’m definitely the dumb one.
Texts from Last Night is a big time-waster of a site, but lots of fun, in the same vein as Overheard in the Office, Overheard in New York, etc.
I don’t remember where these images came from, but I love them:
A new-ish site—so not yet a major time-suck—of funny photos: Awkward Family Photos. Let’s hope we never see ourselves on that one.
The Onion re-printed the best of their earthquake preparedness tips. Two of my favorites:
Look out your window often. If you see a large, zig-zag-shaped crevasse moving rapidly from the horizon toward your home, step either to the right or the left.
Do you have a treasured childhood toy? Perhaps a stuffed animal, such as a teddy bear? Well, let's see Mr. Bear help you now.
That’s all for now. I’m off to the nursery again.
I'm going to have to work on my texting; apparently it's not half as entertaining as it could be!
ReplyDeleteI have always loved those ladies and their clever captions...
Thanks for the chuckle!
