One of the girls at work showed us this funny site about animals, called, icanhascheezburger.

People send in photos of their pets, mostly cats, and people put funny captions on them. They deliberately misspell the words in the caption to be phonetic. People vote, change the captions, do a lot on there. It’s a hoot.

Saw a clip on the news and the late night gossp shows about a supposed cat fight on “The View” between Whoopi Goldbery and Elizabeth about race.

So what is it about Elizabeth that makes her get all bitchy and crying and argumentative? You would think that the little golden princess could take a chill pill and keep it together better than this.

Kudos to Whoopi for standing up for herself and her thoughts on the subject.

I like the way most of the major papers have embraced the internet and make a version of their printed newspaper available online.

I have to say that my local paper’s website is not close to the same as what is available on the newsstands but it give a good snapshot of local and national happenings.

There are a few newspapers that do a spectacular job with their websites and I find myself checking them daily for a good overview of what is happening in the real world, each with their own particular attitude and view of what’s news.

Happy Birthday, America!

Don’t sit at home tonight! Get out and take a blanket or a beach chair and go find some fireworks to watch! It’s your duty as an American to celebrate our country’s birthday!

Love the internet site called, “The Onion.”

The people who write the stories, take the photos and keep this web site fresh are true comedy geniuses.

If you used to laugh at everything on the old Saturday Night Live shows - the ones with Belushi, Akroyd, Martin, all the greats - then you will love “The Onion” web site.

The girls were cackling with laughter in the break room and I had to ask what was so sang funny? They were looking at a web site by a guy who is a self proclaimed dating expert and he has seminars for guys about how to pick up women. He has a series of “instructional” CDs or DVDs or whatever those things are these days that he calls “dating products.”

On his web site he writes a blog with further discussion and tips on his thoughts about how to get a woman and get laid. They were reading his blog posts and just howling with laughter.

Here’s an excerpt from one of his posts, called “Things To NEVER Do Or Talk About On A First Date” by David Wygant

1. “I only wash my sheets every three weeks.”
2. “I’m looking for a woman who is just like my mother.”
3. “I am so broke that I had to borrow money to take you out tonight.”
4. Anything about your bowel movements
5. That you suffer from any form of Irritable Bowel Syndrome
6. The real reasons why your ex cheated on you and how you sucked sexually after two months.
7. How you tell your friends EVERYTHING.
8. Your credit card debt . . . and how you wish you could find someone to help you pay it off.
9. Your seven illegitimate children
10. Your addiction to children’s cough syrup

We had a great night slamming down Mojitos and nachos grandes and listening to karaoke last night. The great thing about living in this town is that we are crawling with real musical talent, and karaoke singers can be as good as what you pay good money for concert tickets. If fact, a lot of them are professional backup singers out having a party night and someone twists their arm to get them to sing.

I’m really liking the Mojito. It’s a combination of rum, lime juice and fresh mint. If it’s made right it goes down so smooth you don’t even know it’s got alcohol in it, and next thing you know you got your mojo working and having a great time.

Mercy me - I’m needing a hair of the dog this morning.

I found a great web site that has lots of jokes, including a joke of the day. I like the comedian biographies and the search function.

So if you’re feeling a little down in the dumps, click on over to this joke site and surely something over there will get you to laugh!

Here’s a one-liner from their site:

Eagles may soar but weasels don’t get sucked into jet engines.

I saw this photo and thought it was really funny. I can’t seem to upload graphics today so I’m going to try a different way to link it here to share with you. Thanks to my friend Donna for the link. You’re a sweetheart.

I’ve been playing cards all my life. I am pretty good at most of them, but my favorite is spades. Now, I can play spades on the internet with people I don’t even know - not even my partner - and I’ll win some and lose some, but without bragging, I can say that over a couple hundred games I usually maintain a winning percentage of 72-76%.

I started out playing spades on the internet way back in the early 1990’s when Microsoft launched their iVillage free gaming site. The game was OK but not the settings and rules that i was used to, so I started looking for other sites. I found Yahoo’s new free gaming site and latched on there for years.
