Things That Make You Go Hmm...

I don’t know, I’m having a hard time coming up with titles that don’t reference a song or movie. Titles have always been the hardest thing to come up with in my writing… I have many short stories all with some of the lamest titles known to man. My favorite title was “Working Title” (which I thought was somewhat creative based on the content which I won’t go into right now because oh how mortifying to actually discuss something I’ve written) but my writing teacher at the time told me I might have trouble getting it published with that title because they might thing that it was actually a still in its working title stages rather than it’s official name. I think I had stopped listening at that point because I was still marveling at the idea that he thought I would ever even try for publication!

Anyway. Onto the pointless rambling that comprises my site funny.

Today was Funny Friday on the radio show I listen to on the way to work. The comedian that was on hailed from Manchester, England and had me in stitches all morning.

DJ 1: (recently found she’s pregnant and has bought a number of baby magazines, to her surprise one is a UK edition and uses a great deal of terminology that most Arkansans aren’t exactly familiar with) So, they used words like nappy and pram… blah blah (you get the general idea here)

DJ 2: So, funny comic hailing from Manchester, England what other words do you use that are different from ours?

Funny Comic Hailing from Manchester, England: (henceforth known as FCHFME… that’s catchy) Well…

DJ 2: Like, breast-feeding, do you have another word for breast feeding?

FCHFME: Yeah… fun.

Oh my God. I died. And almost caused a 10 car pile-up. But it would have been so incredibly worth it!

Jack Anecdote of the Day: Because I just can’t go a day without one! Tonight while I was cooking dinner he had a toy in the middle of the floor and I had to keep kicking it out of the way. When I went to the stove to check on my quesadilla I heard him behind me picking up the toy, so I figured he was going to play with it. Instead he carried it out to the hall and put it against the wall, then came back and curled up by my feet. He was just moving it out of the way for me! So cute…

And finally, tonight when I went out to get the mail, there was a brilliant cool breeze blowing and I SMELLED FALL!! I always get excited when I can smell the seasons changing, and I get particularly excited when fall is coming since the next 3 months are my most favoritest of the whole year! Hooray! Commencing count-down to presents!

Hi Angela. Thanks for reminding us why a good morning radio show can make the difference between a good day and a not-so-good one. I really should tune in more often.

Thanks also for dropping in to my blog. I was truly touched by your comment.

Hey Angela-here from Michele's.

Yeah, titles are tuff...whether it's a blog entry or whatever. I actually have a poem that never got named - it's this page and a half ramble about something, and it's fairly good, but it still has "No Title" written on the top!! Sometimes titles come easy and sometimes I sprain my last remaining braincell trying to come up with something witty and moving.

THat breast feeding joke was hilarious. I like your sense of humor -- I'll be back.
