Bunny Wabbit!

Saw this on chicagotribune.com and couldn’t stop smiling.

We had a couple of bunnies when i was a kid. They were always so timid and scared. Not really sure if I ever felt a connection to them like you do or dog or a cat, but they sure were cute.

It’s such a big bunny! I wonder if he gets scared. Do you think he’s mean? Or just slow and dumb? BUNNY!

The fracas over American Apparel reminded me of a sticker I saw in New York last fall:

Friday Fun: 3 Minute Meals “Tuna Melt” From MadTV

Chris Apollo Lynn — Fri, 23 Jan 2009 17:01:37 +0000

Those cooking shows always make everything look so easy: Veggies cut and in pretty prep bowls; liquids measured; casseroles come out of the oven beautifully golden brown. Funny how it never turns out like that in real life.

In the sketch, below, the MadTV writers take the pre-packed cooking show and put it through their surrealist lens. Stephnie Weir‘s facial expressions are amazing, and her timing couldn’t be better. That’s probably why I laughed so hard my face hurt when I watched it last night with my housemates. Yup, deep, boisterous guffaws that warmed up my spirits and made me forget about the gray winter weather.

Hope it brightens your day, too!

High Taxes, High Budgets, High Five Inauguration High-larity

Funny or Die does it again with this kick-a video of their visit to DC for the inauguration. Catchy tune, kitschy poses–it’s like playing “Where’s Waldo” with celebrities. I especially love how they got everyone from Usher and Sarah Silverman to Newt Gingrich and Pat Buchanan to participate.

Bush Street Now Obama Street in San Francisco

This photo on Flickr totes made me LOL. This street in downtown San Francisco is normally called “Bush Street.” Looks like change has come to SF.

Hat tip to Mager for pointing this out.
