humor: Does it Say "I Am a B…."?
- 09/15/11 06:05 PM
I am looking at the profile photo and see a dog. I can’t help thinking that beside meaning a pet lover, it carries a message “I am a bi…”. Actually, for me it is the first impression, pet lovers come distant second.
Yes, it is not the dog’s, it is Jane Doe’s page, I get it. What I do not get is the reason why this Jane Doe thought that the dog is the best representation of her.
Maybe she is right? Maybe she knows better…
I am trying to understand the point. For example, my photo is there so that members have a … (19 comments)

humor: The Piece of Fabric That Conquered the Word
- 07/16/11 09:51 AM
Last week we remembered the Bastille Day (in Russia it was called «the day of conquering the Bastille» - July 14). It marked the beginning of French Revolution of 1789. It was all about freedom...
July 5, 1946 marks a different date in history. 65 years ago bikini was introduced to the public... and it took the public over by a storm. Well, 65 years ago this was quite revolutionary. It was not just the fashion statement. It is considered a big step in women emancipation fight... Hmm, looking at bikini, for some strange reason fight is the last thing that comes to my mind ...but I … (21 comments)

humor: Science of Boozing... or How to Get Featured
- 06/18/11 06:49 PM
I checked what time it is, as time is the key to this post, - and it is already Sunday.
I read about this fascinating research a very long time ago. Scientists decided to find out what exactly causes people to get drunk. So, they combined gin & tonic and tested it. People got drunk.
Then they tried whiskey & tonic, and people got drunk.
And then they tried:
Brandy & tonic
Vodka & tonic
Rum & tonic
Tequila & tonic
and each time people, who tested the stuff, got drunk.
Because tonic was … (43 comments)

humor: Stray Thought
- 05/30/11 05:20 PM
Bob Stewart started a fashionable “Random Thoughts” thingie. I did one myself, and thought that I would be doing them time from time as fun. The problem was that being not a humorous type, I find it difficult to come up with really good ones, so I wrote one, and then could not get any more.
And it was sitting here with little chance to get seen. More like a stray thought that came and then was gone. Just one.
So, to be fair, this is not random thought, sorry. This is a stray thought… No beginning and no end…
Here … (39 comments)

humor: I Missed the End Of The World
- 05/21/11 07:57 PM
Just noticed that I am still here, and it is 2:55 AM on Sunday... Not that it is very early (or too late), this is pretty normal for me... I suddenly remembered the warning that the Judgment Day was supposed to begin at 9 PM EST, so I somehow completely forgot about the end of the world.
Maybe it did not happen because I forgot it? It does not seem that I am the only one who survived. People are just sleeping.
I heard some fanatics have sold everything they had in preparation to the inevitable, which did not happen. What … (53 comments)

humor: Why Cows Like Print Media and Realtors Don't?
- 05/19/11 04:57 PM
It is interesting how much information we get from the peers. I do feel that I now have a pretty good feel about Charlotte thanks to Debe Maxwell; I am getting a close look at newspaper "reading" habits of cows (It's Dangerous to Read the Newspaper on the Farm!), and getting closer to being able to live in the country thanks to wonderful blogs by Judi Barrett; learn so much about San Diego thanks to posts and incredible photos by William Johnson; enjoyed the Alaskan blogs and photos by Jesse Clifton (a rare guest on AR these days, though); got to … (11 comments)

humor: Here's Something With Nothing. You Like It?
- 10/15/10 03:42 PM
For someone like me, whose native language is not English, when I was learning it certain things were weird. Some were phonetically awkward. I remember the awkwardness of saying “Who”, because it sounded so close to a dirty curse Russian word… All girls in class blushed, and boys giggled…
And then there is one linguistic phenomenon, which might even have something to do with real estate. Like in “the third bedroom has no window”. Or “the condo-hotel unit is sold with no furniture”.
Do you hear what I hear? The bedroom has what? It HAS no window… How can you have something, … (13 comments)

humor: Stray Thoughts Come After Midnight... Way After
- 10/03/10 03:28 AM
Ever thought of how Paradise and Inferno could look in modern times? I sometimes do. Knowing nothing about religion makes it easier for me.
It is simpler with Paradise. Actually those who are retired in Florida and have decent pension plan and some savings, have the first phase of Paradise right here in Florida.
It would not be easy for heavens to match their benefits. They might even get grumpy… The only advantage they might have that comes to mind is that they would not care about the economy, and would not need a massive health care system… at least … (4 comments)

humor: Have Your Water Bill Been Too High?
- 07/25/10 04:37 AM
If your water bill has been really high, and there is no visible reason for that, there may be a thief stealing your water.
The couple checked everything, and it was all in perfect order, and the bill was bad…
So, one day the husband does not feel well, and stays at home… and catches the thief and tapes the criminal act…
A very curious thief… should have been Einstein in previous life…
Watch it right here…

humor: How to Know If It Is Too Late
- 07/03/10 06:06 PM
I wrote an indispensable article on branding, and Renee commented: “At times I do confuse the Toyota brand with Mercedes. If my contacts aren't in they look the same to me”.
For Renee and everyone else, who can confuse the car brand (including myself), here’s a cram course on the major differences between Toyota and Mercedes, and how to handle it.
It is not that difficult. When you are on a highway going 75 mph and the car keeps accelerating on its own, congratulations, you are in Toyota. You see, it is really simple. What? You want to know how to recognize … (12 comments)

humor: A Little Humor Goes A Long Way
- 11/27/09 06:14 AM
I have always been fascinated by the ability of other people to add humor to everything.
Like spices, which accentuate the tastes in the food, humor brightens up everything it touches. It is the best way to make something you want people to remember - more memorable. It piques your interest; it makes complex things look easier, it opens us up to the message... and, of course, to the messenger.
Humor always brings the best in us, laughter is always a sign of good mood and positive emotions, and this is what we want in ourselves, and in our … (50 comments)

humor: I Am a Russian What?
- 08/03/09 06:32 PM
After 18 years in the country, it does not sounds as strange as before, but i still can't get rid of the feeling that we only use one word to describe people like me - an immigrant.
But there are two words, one is emigrant, and another is an immigrant. And if fellow Americans dropped one and only use the term "Immigrant", they have a good reason for it. Because if describes people who came to United States, and as we know, people come here and stay here. So, they are immigrants to the United States.
A different story back in … (31 comments)

humor: Where Is One Dollar?
- 07/19/09 04:59 PM
Maybe it is too late, or maybe I am tired, but I am in a light mood (don't worry, does not happen too often-LOL). Anyway, I went to New York last weekend.
A group of old friends got together. One of them brought her granddaughter. My friend asked her to find the missing dollar.
Here's the line
3 guys stop at a remote motel and ask for rooms. The owner has only one room to offer, it is $30, so they take it and would pay $10 a person.
Then the owner feels remorse that he charged them too much, So he sends the porter to … (9 comments)

humor: Screwing a Porcupine Is Against The Law. Avoid The Temptation
- 07/04/09 06:52 PM
On May 14 Inna Hardison posted Stupid Laws in Florida that are still in Force.
As others, I just laughed at these still in force laws here in Florida. It was hard to believe that we needed a law like that. I thought that sex with porcupine could be a very effective crime deterrent, but it was difficult to believe that porcupines are really in danger of sexual advances from humans.
Even the thought of tinkering with porcupines with your pants down can get you goosebumps.
Why am I talking about that now? Well, you would not believe it.
I recently stopped by a Russian Deli. I … (25 comments)
