Small & Big

When you're interested, you find what you're interested in everywhere, eh? Because you always "look interested." Never thought of Time as a humor rag but I'm interested in humor so I came across Joel Stein's review of the KFC's Double Down sandwich, the one with fried chicken substituted for bread buns. Do they still sell that? I got to this part and laughed out loud: Here's a fun diagram by illustrator Jason Lee on how foods would be eaten if the bread part wasn't included:

The following romantic vows are suitable for pretty much any nuptials. I promise to cherish you forever but will snatch the last cupcake for myself. For the rest of our blessed life together I promise to get our anniversary wrong by at least a month.  I won’t listen to your advice until it’s coming out my mouth. {Farts that sound like} “Never. Hog. My blanket.” I will become vegan for two years. (It will feel much longer.) A love of Shakespeare will provide untold opportunities for me to mispronounce weird words in public, like swoltery and quatch. My vocabulary won’t get gooder I pick only you, and my nose. I will never tighten lids or close cupboards but I will always love you. (Should you ever become trapped in said jar or cupboard, You’re welcome.) People shed. Expect to find my loose hairs knotted around your junk. Unless they’re yours. I promise to rewrap chocolate bars to appear there’s nothing been eaten. Once a week, when you least expect it, I promise to sl...

This is great. Humor writer and author Tim Bete presents:  How I converted 7,000 hours of work into $10 hard cash and then turned a single stupid idea into $37,000. He discuses publishing, editors, ideas... helpful stuff for any writer. He presented at the 2012 Erma Bombeck Writers' Workshop. Runs 58 minutes. Warning: Enjoy!

Each player acts as their own team; i.e. three players equals three teams. Ball gnawing is encouraged. Football must be transported by mouth ONLY. Transportation of ball by mouth with other players attached is permitted, so long as others are also attached, by mouth, to ball. Should ball roll into a hole, anything goes; i.e., head bonkings. If a player stands upon football, no other player may touch it EVER OR ELSE. Any player wearing a leash may clothesline all players, including self. Players signal a Personal Time Out by laying down and end it by getting up. Number of Time Outs is limited to infinite. Players may draft sticks into play, like in pinball where extra balls come on the field for no reason. Game ends when players notice a squirrel or bird and run off.

Update: He did it! Keith Knight got funded for his Michael Jackson project, with the help of good people like you. In fact, on April 6, 2012 he exceeded his $40K goal. I've long appreciated Keith Knight. He's the man behind one of my favorite cartoons, Life's Little Victories . Keef is giving away three old illustration sketchbooks, he will draw you into an upcoming published cartoon, he will come to your town and present his famous slideshow (I have seen it, it is great) and cartooning workshop, he will lip sync a Michael Jackson song in your living room — all because he was a teenage Michael Jackson impersonator, and he wants, no, NEEDS to share this story with the world. Pledge to support him in this 2-year endeavor the whole world needs right now, laughter, and in return he'll give supportors cool stuff like the above and more. For as little as $5! Check out the details of his project over at Kickstarter and the related news story at USA Today . Hurry! This ...
