What Made You Laugh Today ?

[MadelineB]

Well, I used to be called Spoonbill .

Those are beautiful birds:


but I would rather be a Sporkbill. More versatile.

[Padma]

Spoonbills make great grunting sounds - but for the hands-down best ever description of a bird call, look no further than this (the female doesn't get much of a look in here, mind you):



I like to think that the female is rolling her eyes as she goes Guck-Guck and puts up with his nonsense...

I was trying to set up a date for later this week thinking lunch or a hike or something.  Instead, she invited me to the queer sex ed and BDSM talks that she's going to.  I'm really excited about this, but it cracked me up.

[Snowpaw]

Adventure Time. That always makes me laugh. <3 Jake. He's so adorkable.

My 12 year old lost a tooth yesterday and the tooth fairy gave her $1.50. Today she in a hushed and reverent voice told me that the tooth fairy gave her a special quarter that's small like a nickel but it has ridges so it must be a quarter. I'm pretty sure it was a dime. I didn't correct her because I've given up trying to explain money to her, and because I don't think I could have done it respectfully and without giggling. We have very silly problems sometimes.

Lol omg Padma this is awesome.

[Padma]

Yeah, I like to imagine the author spent years perfecting the transcription .

[MadelineB]

Yeah, I like to imagine the author spent years perfecting the transcription .

He did. He was married during that time. Ba-bum-bum!

[Padma]

He did. He was married during that time. Ba-bum-bum!

Meh, I assumed the author was a woman .

[Rita]

Today was radiant, and everything just felt good ^.^ I have had this smile I can't get rid of.  Nor do I want to!

[Felix]

I came to my usual spot near the hospital to get wifi, and there's thumping base and a freakin bouncy castle in the parking lot. I'm not sure why I find this funny, but it feels very surreal.

[Padma]

I'm such a geek! I was queuing to get my train ticket from the machine, overheard people in front of me failing to find Exeter St James' Park in the machine's index - when it got to my turn, I spent an extra minute determining that you had to enter S T [space] J to find it - just couldn't leave it unsolved .

And no, there wasn't anyone queuing behind me - I have some standards...

[Padma]

I told my van insurance company I'm now female on my driver's licence - and they refunded me £12.60 .

I know it's probably something really prosaic like "women statistically make less claims", but I like to imagine they have a flag on their system for trans folk which assumes our new-found peace of mind makes us better drivers...

[Cindy]

Life.

[Constance]

It was yesterday, but the facilities guy came over the the support department looking for burly guys to help him move something ... and he passed me be entirely.

It's good to be considered one of the girls instead of one of the guys.

[Felix]

The story about Rahm Emmanuel being accused of liking Nickelback by the striking Chicago teachers. His office released a statement just to say no he doesn't.

[Alexis]

The report that came back with my CT scan
Also one of the ER nurses this morning

[TheDragonsHeart]

The Three Stooges dvd i'm watching. Three Missing Links episode the part where Moe slaps Curly's hand and it rotates to bonk him on the head. Then Moe gets upset and starts chasing him with an empty bucket and throws it through glass missing Curly's head.

[Snowpaw]

Game Grumps with Jontron and Egoraptor. I seriously can't stop laughing at this, because it reminds me of how me and my brother play games.

[Padma]

I made a new trans woman friend online, she's a French speaker (her English is fine too) and I'm cracking myself (and her) up trying to type in French on my phone when I'm bloody tired and keep forgetting words (and there is no French word for Gender that's different from Sex) .
