Tickle Me Tuesday: An Inaugural Event!

Yep, it's another carnival! I was looking at the blogosphere the other day, and I thought to myself, you know, there just aren't enough blog carnivals. But now that there's Tickle Me Tuesday, it's actually possible to do carnivals every single day! (There is a Monday one, right? Pretty sure there is, I think it starts with an M...)

If there's one thing I love, it's a good laugh. So every Tuesday I invite you to crack wise with me. Just post anything you find funny; a joke you heard, a lolcat, a video; or just write about something funny that happened to you. If you get your funny from another site, please remember to credit the original source. Put your permalink in my Mr. Linky, and be sure to visit all the other links (vast numbers I'm sure). If you'd like to use the button, please hyperlink it to my main page, as I'm not savvy enough to have a separate page to dedicate to this carnival just yet.

Since this is the first Tickle Me Tuesday, feel free to link to an older post from your archives if you've got something funny tucked away. This is a great way to introduce new readers to your blog and get to know some new bloggers yourself.

Here are my contributions for this week.

This is a pic I found on Cute Overload. Not their standard fare at all. The expressions on the girls' faces are priceless. You just know someone's mom was bludgeoning someone's dad at that very moment.


And this is from the right moment, which catalogs photos taken at the exact moment someone just happens to look really really retarded.

I have a post up but it isn't a 'good clean fun' post. You may want to vet it before I add it to the linky.

Where are you storing the image so I can use it as an image link?
Email would be good.

Ok, you asked for it; I'll choose one of my older posts on creating a Match dot com internet dating profile. The post is offensive, juvenile, and 3 (people) out of 6 billion prefer it to the regular blog humor choices. Don't worry...all my stuff is just as juvinile.

Enjoy

hi Marie--

sorry, had to post an old one you've seen before; love the idea, love the carnival, gotta pay my rent (it's the 5th, you know) and get my dishwasher to stop making that SICK CRANKING sound, but wanted to participate.

Go Marie!!

Second pic - LMAO

And, just wanted to mention that though my post is totally long, and sometimes a downer... I stuck in my funny at the end! Wee! ;-)

Here goes another try at being modern and with it. Can I say how much easier things were when I did it in triplicate? Cassandra? I'm proud of you!

Jeff said...

I thought the chubby karate guy on "the right moment" site was funny at first glance. But then I took a closer look at his... well, you'll figure it out. All I can say is EWWW!

Marie said...

Jeff- OMG I didn't even notice that before. Ew!

One dark night outside
a small town on the Wisconsin - Minnesota border, a fire
started inside the local chemical plant and in a blink of an eye it
exploded
into massive flames. The alarm went out to all the fire
departments for miles around.

When the volunteer
fire fighters appeared on the scene, the chemical
company president rushed over to the fire chief.
"All our secret
formulas are in the vault in the
center of the plant. They must be
saved. I will
give $100,000 to the fire department that brings them out

intact!"

But the roaring flames held the firefighters
off.

Soon, more fire departments had to be called in as the
situation became desperate. In the
distance, a lone siren was heard as another fire truck came into sight.
It was
the nearby Norwegian Rural Township volunteer fire
company composed mainly of Norwegians well over the age of 65. To
everyone's amazement, that little run down fire engine
roared right past all the newer sleek engines that were parked outside
the plant
and, without even slowing down, drove straight into the middle of the
inferno.

Outside, the other firemen watched as the Norwegian old-timers
jumped off right in the middle of the fire and fought it back on all
sides. It
was a performance and effort never seen before. Within a short time,
the Norse
old timers had extinguished the fire and saved the secret formulas.

The
grateful chemical company president announced that for such a

superhuman feat he was upping the reward to $200,000 and walked over
to personally thank each of the brave fire fighters. The local TV
news reporter rushed in to capture the event on
film, asking their chief,
"What are you going to do with all that
money?"

Vell," said Ole Oleson, the 80-year-old fire chief, "Da first ting ve
gonna do is fix da brakes
on dat focking truck!

I love "cute overload" but I always have problems downloading the pictures - I think I need a new computer.
