LJF Wolffe, Weirdo at Large

Here are two more funny stories from www.write101.com:
NASA decided to send a shuttle into space with two monkeys and an astronaut. They trained them for months. Then when they thought they were ready, they placed all three in the shuttle and got ready to send them up into space.
As the moment came [...]

Here’s another classic goodie from www.write101.com’s newsletter:
I halve a spelling chequer
It came with my pea sea
It plane lee marques four my revue
Miss steaks aye ken knot sea
Eye ran this poem threw it
Your sure reel glad two no
It’s vary polished in it’s weigh

Another wonderful piece from the Writing Tips newsletter published by write101.com:
After Christmas, a teacher asked her young pupils how they spent their holiday away from school. One child wrote the following:
We always used to spend the holidays with Grandma and Grandpa. They used to live in a big brick house but Grandpa [...]

When I’m disheartened or brain-dead or just not sure what I’m up to doing (as has been happening a lot lately — post OryCon SAD, I guess), I waste some time on www.icanhascheezburger.com; I just love to aww and giggle at the kitties and the strange captions that humans give them. Today I discovered thelolcats.com; [...]

We have a Buffalo LinkTheater — a box that plays downloaded stuff from our laptops or from a hard drive. I personally think they gave the Buffalo a good name: it’s slow, ponderous, stubborn, and cranky. It never has gotten the remote computer stuff right (which is why we bought it its very own hard [...]

Antiques enthusiast Mary spent all her free time haunting second-hand stores, flea markets, and other likely spots where she might encounter the odd find: a valuable [...]

I have no idea where this comes from. I found it on an internet marketing forum, and a search revealed nearly two million instances of the phrase “revocation of your independence, effective immediately.” If you know where this originated, I’d love to hear it, so I can attribute it properly. Till then, read and enjoy!

Found out on FaceBook today that Weird Al Yankovic (I don’t know him well enough to call him “Al;” I just own everything he’s ever put out!) has a new song available! You can buy it from iTunes, or you can listen to it on YouTube here. The “video” part is a static picture, and [...]

This week’s infusion of funniness from Jennifer Stewart of write101.com:
A woman walked up to a little old man rocking in a chair on his porch. “I couldn’t help noticing how happy you look,” she said. “What’s your secret for a long happy life?”
“I smoke three packs of cigarettes a day,” he said. [...]

The title line was said by Denis Leary in No Cure for Cancer. He dared to make a joke about Jim Henson’s funeral, and a hush fell over the room. But he’s right — for some of us, the Muppets are just too cool. Someone posted this video to YouTube, and I had to post [...]
