Humor for a Rainy Day
First of all, congratulations to Lord and Lady Jabez on the birth of their Littler Jabez, Amelia Grace!
It’s been gray and rainy here all week, and while I am not in any way complaining (grow, grass seed, grow!), I thought that a shot of humor might brighten the mood. I thought I’d list the top five most amusing Xanga things.
Tevildiel usually has great entries, and her quizzes with random song titles as answers are often funny (true love Pilgrim, anyone?). Her biting wit and erudite observations on her fellow man leave me amused. But, none were quite as funny as her commentary on a group of odd homeschoolers when one of those commented upon actually found the blog entry and left replies. Tevildiel wins the “Oh, I’m SO Glad That Wasn’t Me!” Award.
4. KID6896′s Quotes
KID doesn’t get the credit she should for her amusing posts. Her “tell it like it is,” matter-of-fact tone in no way diminishes the raw humor of the excerpt of her life she presents.. She comes in at #4 for her quoting of her children. Who can forget such classics as “Let’s all pick our noses” or “I don’t want to breathe.”
3. Jess’s Valentine’s Day Post
What could be better than life insurance for Valentine’s Day? How about your own personal holiday, Dia De Amor?
2. Loeschdogg’s Perfectionistic Christmas Tree
Oh, Tannen-Bomb! I still laugh when I read this post. I even printed it out and saved it!1. Rob accidentally naming himself “The Hand.”
Really, is there anything funnier?
So, which posts did I forget or perhaps not even know to list?
Comments (5)
I agree with your top 4. I need to check out #5. Jess’s V-day post gave me the teary-eyed laugh and Kid’s quotes always make me laugh. It’s great that she has them written down because the boys will get a kick out of them when they’re older. Loesch’s Christmas tree post was pretty funny too. It reminded me of his call to Port Matilda-ites about his snow pile. Same kind of humor. I think that page is still out there on our old website. And “The Hand,” I’m still laughing.
I can’t believe I made your top five. Thanks for reminding us of all those great moments in Xanga History.
Kidd’s quotes are #1 for me… hilarious. Definitely book material (Cheaper by the Pair?)
Also your posts are pretty good too!
You must not have read Kristen’s post today about farts before you came up with you list!
Wow…our household is honored to be on your list! “The Hand” salutes you!
