Today I SO wanted to blog politics, because things are finally getting comedy-worthy, but I know that’s never a good idea, and it’s supposed to be rainy today, and Mom taught me never to talk politics when it rains, so I scoured the Net to find all the news that’s fit to put a smile on my face, which isn’t a lot, but here goes:
I remember the days when my kids were this young, and they would tromp through the dirt without any concern of conserving laundry water, or saving Mommy time, or what a mess it would make in the house…. I do like how Mommy gives in and starts making a mess herself, probably some sort of elephant spa treatment.
From cracked.com, here’s an article on six terrifying new creatures that were just discovered.
There is the Darwin bark spider that builds a web that’s uh, eighty-two feet across. I like that. I can see Mommy Darwin bark spider looking at the neighbor kid’s web, then looking at her own kid’s web, and telling him, “You want to get into Harvard? Eighty-two feet just isn’t going to cut it anymore. Now, WEAVE!”
I will not comment on the picture of the devil worm and what as a Harlequin Blaze writer IMMEDIATELY leapt into my brain, but if someday, you read the words “devil worm digging deeper inside her, deeper than any man had ever dug before..” then you’ll know where I get my inspiration from.
Before reading the following article, I had considered myself to be fairly Internet saavy, but yes, my fellow sisters in whine, I had never encountered a rage face. The comic faces started on 4chan, which probably explains much why I never wandered among their native habitat, because 4chan is where the evil-doers of the Internet Empire unite and plot to bring down the Empire, George Lucas, and My Little Pony, preferably at the same time. However, apparently these comics are –uh-hem, all the rage. And then after I read the article, I ventured over (oh so gingerly) into the dark waters of 4chan. I poked on the “Science and Math” boards and had to agree to a disclaimer that this section of the website were for “mature viewers only and might not be suitable for minors” AND THIS WAS IN THE SCIENCE AND MATH???!! HolyEuclidsPenis, Batman! OMG.
Okay, so back to the arstechnica site…
Kathleen's Early Morning Face
I think my favorite was the troll face. Oh, man, I’ve met some marketing people that remind me of that one. And I would like Me Gusta face on a t-shirt.
And lastly, this one just cracked me up…
And there you have it, my day’s work to make you smile.
So, how about it? Any funnies to share today, any jokes or stories, or 4chan faces that you think are the bomb?

Hillarious, Ti!
As always you make me laugh–and I admire your restraint, rainy day or not. And the cat eating the fish made me spit tea on the computer keyboard.
An, unfortunately, regular occurance when you’re blogging.
OMG, Kathleen, we’re twins in the morning, LOL! xox
Uh, Jacquie, I seriously doubt it.
But it’s warm! I love warm. Even with rain. It’s warm. Yesterday, got to 74 degrees, which is unheard of for New England March. I loved it! We’ve had snow in April, so I am trying not to get too excited. The cold will probably come back, but spring is coming. YAY! My kids never liked dirt or getting dirty, is that weird? They get it from me.
I can’t believe your kids never liked to get dirty. My kids both when through a stomping through mud puddles first. The daughter grew out of it quickly, but my son still has occasional puddle-fits.
It is warm here, too. I want to get plants. I REALLY want to get plants, but I know I have to wait until April. Wait until April, because if I buy plants, instant cold-snap. Always happens.
When my son was growing up I swear that kid could have found a puddle in the desert. And he immediately would have stomped in it.
No, they’re both very indoorsy types. And I won’t be out digging in a garden either. Yet. Maybe I’ll catch the bug, but I tend to kill green things easily.
You. Crack. Me. Up. I really miss seeing you, Kathleen! I envision us making rage faces together. That’s true friendship
Like.
I want a rage face!
I want one of those dead pan faces, you know, with the big huge sag bags under the eyes that can stare at you without one drop of emotion and not one blink of an eye. The kind the teacher gave you whilst she contemplated whether the jail sentence would be worth it. The kind your mom gave you at 3 am when you decide to play the radio too loud and she has to work. The kind your dad gave when you accidentally said a no no word in front of him. Oh but the difference with my dead pan face is, I can do the Spock. I have an eye brow that arches on its own without me knowing it. So yes add the Spock brow to mine too.
Eyebrow envy!
