JDub's Strange Form of Stress Relief

Those of you who know JDub well know three important things about him.  For the rest of you, I'll give you the background you need to make sense of this post.

1. He sells woodworking tools online for a living.
2. After many years he's gotten super good at detecting scam email orders. (Hint: Grammar is key.  If they can't write good Engrish, you are can be certainly they not is legitimatized customers.)
3. He hates doesn't really like his job.

So, he sent me this email exchange the other day.  First the email from the customer (name changed even though it probably wasn't a real name in the first place.):

We would be happy to ship your order of edge sanders but we are overrun with pumpkins right now and are using the edge sanders as fences to keep the raccoons out. We will let you know as soon as the situation changes.


Best fishes,

Funniest part: He replies like this to scammers all the time.

Scud's Favorite Comic (And Mine)

For those of you who don't know Scud, he has a terrific sense of humor.  He cracks me up all. the. time.

He carries this comic in his pocket sometimes and it makes both of us laugh every time we see it.  It is from the comic strip, F Minus by Tony Carillo. Hope it's ok for me to post it here.

Enjoy!

Another Funny Picture

This time, sent to me by my mom. Sort of echoes how I'm feeling right now about the presidential race.

Motivating, no?

Exactly what it might motivate one to do is up for debate.

If This Doesn't Make You Laugh Out Loud, I Don't Know What Will

Click here for a gallery of Calvin and his snowmen. I'm still laughing.

Were Kid's Shows This Weird When We Were Little?

We don't watch much TV around here.

So, when The Incomparable Nello mentioned something about Yo Gabba Gabba on her blog, I was entirely clueless.

But, then she said two words that made my heart flutter. Elijah. Wood. Yes, my Elijah. Saying "Dancy Dance". I had to check this out.

I wasn't disappointed.



And for the record, Kelly, Elijah saying "dancy dance" was definitely funny. But how could that possibly compare to him doing the puppet master? I'll be laughing all day.

Oh, and in case you were wondering (and of course you were), yes I still love you my hobbity friend Elijah.
