A little laughter never hurt anyone

On the theory quoted in the subject line, I hereby invite everyone to post any funny pictures, jokes or (short) stories here.

I'll start:

I once saw one that was fully vertical. Woulda got a photo if I hadn't been in a moving car at the time.

My cat...um...well, see for yourself :)

Wow! Your black cat is as huge as mine is! Last vet visit, 19 lbs. for mine! Will crop some pics to a web-suitable size when I get home from work...

Haha yeah, Asimov is pretty huge. I don't know just how big, but it's always funny to visit a friend with 'normal'-sized cats - they all look like kittens to me.

A friend of the family had a similarly huge cat when I was... let's call it "similarly little" shall we? This led to some interesting stories, including the first vet visit. They couldn't find a big enough cat carrier and ended up using a dog carrier -- which in turn led to some confusion at the vet's office.

Here it's not so much the "what" as the "where" that's funny.

I can't stop giggling at these cats http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z3U0udLH974 (absolutely work safe).

I only have one cat; do multiples act this way when together?

I love it when kitties "melt" into the table or chair or wherever. Blue's cat looks like she's been left in the sun too long.

Aw, that's sweet, though no doubt they are plotting what mischief to commit once their human has left the house!

do multiples act this way when together?

Some do, some don't. My two current kitties (Marissa and Lilith) often curl up close and groom each other, but my late Mr. Mojo and Lilith rarely did.

That video is priceless! My cats don't do that when they're together, I've never seen anything like that!

Having a hard time finding a pic that really shows how huge Halfnut is, but you can sort of tell on this one. And just so she doesn't feel left out, here's one of my other cat, Scully. I always tend to think of her as being a small cat, because she's dwarfed by Halfnut, but when other people see her, they make comments like, "Wow, that's a BIG cat!"

Well that didn't work. Here's the link.

I feel as if I've been reading a lot about Asimov today! My cat Willie weighed in at 25lbs at one point. After a strict vet-sponsored diet, he's now just under 15lbs. He was also crowned the 2006 UK Pet Slimmer of the Year! :)

But that's not really funny. So I'll add this:

I have absolutely no idea what the "Times Square Shuffle" is. I've told people that I know the Herald Square Shuffle since I work near there, but Times Square is good hike to our north.

Is that a dance?? ;)

Which shuffle? I can't speak to the Times Square one, after all.

Oh, I meant the Times Square Shuffle. Sorry!

And here's another cat video. (I've still got the window open in case "embed" doesn't work.)

It didn't.

Can anyone tell me how to work that embed thing?

Not sure if LT lets you embed videos and i think most would prefer to have a link anyway.

It won't work on LT, Tim blocked access to certain code functions for security reasons.

<bump>

I'm new around here, so y'all please let me know if any of these cross the line in the "tacky" sand.

Funny and about books. What more could you want?

And then of course there's the Poetry Tech Support Line.

I've made a pseudo-motivational poster out of it.

I committed a visual funny of my own today, and entirely by accident.

Resurrecting this thread, with a disclaimer: this is not -- I repeat, is not -- the same pair of one-way signs featured in the first post.

I know I have a link to this on Flickr saved on my computer at home, but a fat lot of good that does me at work, right?

This is how my cat likes to sleep:

This is how one of my friend's cats has been caught sleeping:

Oh, and I added a punch line to the sign I posted in #26:

Really funny cat video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C9w8YyZVnGo

33> Alright! I check in with Cute Overload and The Daily Kitten at least once a day, so I thought I might skip this one. I went ahead and clicked it. I laughed from deep inside.

Thank you,

Robert

And now for a different animal.

Reviving this thread with a link to very stand-up routine on a subject that's really not off-topic.

Hmmm..... 6:30 doesn't seem late enough for me to have gotten myself that confused (dropped words and all that). But it is funny and worth a click.

For a slightly different kind of humor....

That's not my photo, so I'm sure a clickthrough would be appreciated.

WTF? 3 montreal?

I'm posting this one in its "large" version so as to be readable.



Note that the pumpkins are uncarved in this picture. Presumably they need to keep the microphones hidden. :)

Here's a video from the family of the piano-playing cat featured in post 19.

these cats are halarious

I'm addicted to LOL cats on Icanhascheeseburger, myself.

Waking up the thread.

Car pooling will never be the same again:

Are they trying to copycat the Mythbusters?

The one with the car skipping? That was fun.

This was on the back of one of my grandmother's grade school report cards from sometime in the early 1920s:

A bowel movement every day,
Keeps the proctologist away.

"Loving Dick too much"
