ten more puns

Wow... nearly 2 weeks since the last post. I've been busy being shown how to do my new job, but I still feel a little disoriented. Some puns for you, courtesy of my new friend, PunOfTheDay.com:

A cardboard belt would be a waist of paper.

If you don't pay your exorcist you get repossessed.

He avoided funerals because he was not a mourning person.

What did the grape say when it got stepped on? Nothing - but it let out a little whine.

I used to be a tap dancer until I fell in the sink.

Those who get too big for their britches will be exposed in the end.

He wears glasses during math because it improves divison.

Local Area Network in Australia: the LAN down under.

When the electricity went off during a storm at a school the students were de-lighted.

She was only a whisky maker but he loved her still.

I promise I'll get around to posting something more of substance in the near future.

Funny Sluggy

Okay sorry for all the short, insight-free posting, but I'm juggling unpacking and studying... and that whole parenting thing. I was most amused by today's Sluggy. Has nothing to do with the continuity of this strip, but I found it LOL funny and I would have L'd OL if I were the LOL-type... which I'm not.

PSA: Lift with your dang legs

Ahem... ouch.


Lift with your legs, fool

We're done moving stuff out here to Atlanta. As much as I tried to remember to lift with my legs, I think I must have been doing something majorly wrong, because I am now the proud owner of a 3 day lower backache. I think I avoided serious injury, based on the fact that I can still feel my legs and that I've maintained bowel and bladder control, but I've definitely tweaked my back.

I won't clutter this simple public service announcement with idle chatter, except to say that lifting with your back is a stupid and dangerous thing. Oh for God's sake, don't do it. 'Kay bye.

Guess who's Bach!

Still a-packin', but a short news article that caught my attention:


JS Bach: The Lost Episode

This researcher (I think he was working toward his Bach-alaureate degree) finds a previously unknown piece by Johann Sebastian Bach while sifing through some library documents. As a musician of sorts, I find this fascinating and mildly amusing. It's the first new release by Bach in more than 30 years... the first new song released during my lifetime. For a modern musical group, waiting 30 years between albums is completely ludicrous. I'd imagine that Herr Bach deserves some slack in this matter, as he's been dead for more than 250 years. Really, it's an amazing feat for someone who is so thoroughly dead. Bravo.

Moving out

We're in the middle of relocating. Updates will be sporadic at best until further notice. Go elsewhere to amuse yourself for the time being. I might suggest the excellent links to your right. Ciao.
