Not easy sometimes, eg. when your 6 year old child has just been shot dead at school by a madman.<br />But the promise of laughter is always there, even if it comes from the sheer memory of the departed child...<br />Spacetravellerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02202131232540121117noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5312159882790612546.post-89812377593987141482012-12-22T17:33:52.442-08:002012-12-22T17:33:52.442-08:00@ ST

Learning more about myself and the nature of reality, only left a smile on my face. Humor, is at least to me, the next logical step when I absorb new information. It's a lot of fun for me, to connect it all together in a uniquely twisted and perverted way. ;-)metakhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08536194179488710246noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5312159882790612546.post-67904805394659816662012-12-22T12:18:25.428-08:002012-12-22T12:18:25.428-08:00I think men calm down a little bit with age :)I think men calm down a little bit with age :)Emmahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01840848846249018854noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5312159882790612546.post-50799110498106975192012-12-22T08:27:59.190-08:002012-12-22T08:27:59.190-08:00Hahahahahahahahaha!

I'm a bit mean about what I laugh at, but it's all done lovingly. I find it funny how more risk-taking men are, and how they do all sorts of stupid stuff, like this:<br />https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k1hTElrRg8I<br />Do you see many girls doing this?<br />Thought not.Emmahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01840848846249018854noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5312159882790612546.post-76905673300039485892012-12-20T18:02:29.643-08:002012-12-20T18:02:29.643-08:00Ah, Senior Beta!

You don't have the sex appeal of ...Danny,<br /><br />:-)<br /><br />You don't have the sex appeal of stomach cancer!<br /><br />Humour (especially in the face of adversity) is VERY difficult - I agree wholeheartedly with Marellus on this.<br /><br />But it is brilliant when executed with good effect.<br /><br />If one can laugh in spite of oneself, one is instantaneously relieved of one's stresses, even if only momentarily. How great is that...<br /><br />@ TOM,<br /><br />Silvia Plath!<br />Would you believe I studied some of her work at school...<br />I always thought she was British, but a little research now tells me she was actually American.<br /><br />Yes, the 'od woman with cats' thing is both hilarious and tragic depending on which side of the fence one is standing on.<br /><br />I suspect that a lonely old woman with cats is better off than a lonely old woman without...<br /><br />So the cats (or any other pet) are actually a good thing in that situation because they make for good company...which 'cures' the loneliness to some degree. (Of course the total absence of human contact remains, granted).<br /><br /><br />Spacetravellerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02202131232540121117noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5312159882790612546.post-67168865055213438292012-12-17T04:46:25.664-08:002012-12-17T04:46:25.664-08:00Sometimes humour is difficult.Sometimes humour is difficult.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5312159882790612546.post-61540605693253687372012-12-16T13:30:25.062-08:002012-12-16T13:30:25.062-08:00The trope of the old woman with cats has been arou...The trope of the old woman with cats has been around for a while:<br /><br />Old Ella Mason keeps cats, eleven at last count,<br />In her ramshackle house off Somerset Terrace;<br />People make queries<br />On seeing our neighbor's cat-haunt,<br />Saying: ‘Something's addled in a woman who accommodates<br />That many cats.’<br /><br />Rum and red-faced as a water-melon, her voice<br />Long gone to wheeze and seed, Ella Mason<br />For no good reason<br />Plays hostess to Tabby, Tom and increase,<br />With cream and chicken-gut feasting the palates<br />Of finical cats.<br /><br />Village stories go that in olden days<br />Ella flounced about, minx-thin and haughty,<br />A fashionable beauty,<br />Slaying the dandies with her emerald eyes;<br />Now, run to fat, she's a spinster whose door shuts<br />On all but cats.<br /><br />Once we children sneaked over to spy Miss Mason<br />Napping in her kitchen paved with saucers.<br />On antimacassars<br />Table-top, cupboard shelf, cats lounged brazen,<br />One gruff-timbred purr rolling from furred throats:<br />Such stentorian cats!<br /><br />With poke and giggle, ready to skedaddle,<br />We peered agog through the cobwebbed door<br />Straight into yellow glare<br />Of guardian cats crouched round their idol,<br />While Ella drowsed whiskered with sleek face, sly wits:<br />Sphinx-queen of cats.<br /><br />‘Look! there she goes, Cat-Lady Mason!’<br />We snickered as she shambled down Somerset Terrace<br />To market for her dearies,<br />More mammoth and blowsy with every season;<br />‘Miss Ella's got loony from keeping in cahoots<br />With eleven cats.’<br /><br />But now turned kinder with time, we mark Miss Mason<br />Blinking green-eyed and solitary<br />At girls who marry—<br />Demure ones, lithe ones, needing no lesson<br />That vain jades sulk single down bridal nights,<br />Accurst as wild-cats.<br /><br />Silvia Plath, 1956<br />This Old Manhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17179852762472313301noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5312159882790612546.post-68725802491107753362012-12-15T18:05:44.557-08:002012-12-15T18:05:44.557-08:00humor, it's 90% of my mojo. it works.
