The Gallery Of The Absurd

This is a blog that I visit frequently -- The Gallery of the Absurd.

It's a very funny site, in which the person (I always say "guy") -- in which the guy posts graphics, pictures of the various absurdities you find in advertisements, on signs, etc.

One of my "favorite" features, that is often "featured" there is the use of "unnecessary" quotation marks. Like this sign: Through this door pass the "very best" transportation security officers. Quote unquote, someone thinks they're the "very best," or someone's simply being ironic, wink wink. "Very best," yah, sure.

Another recurring feature has to do with clowns, funny, ridiculous, or even terrifying images of clowns. I personally don't have a problem with clowns. But of course I wouldn't allow one to be alone with my children. Who would? A recent one is one that the guy describes as "a turd with a cowboy hat." LOL! I love that.

It's worth checking out ... frequently.

My Beautiful Buffoon

Would you like to ride in my beautiful buffoon?
Floating way up high in my beautiful buffoon,
We could sail about the highest mountains, you and I,
'Cause we can fly ... fly ...
Up, up and away in my beautiful, my beautiful buffoon.
Buffoon!

I would like the stillness of a hot air buffoon,
with just the sound of the fire whizzing above head.

My Bull Imic

This has to be the funniest joke ever, funny for not being funny.

My bull Imic. Let go of my puking bull, Imic.

Miscellaneous Absurdities

The ideas for these miscellaneous absurdities were found in a little notebook in my desk. It's my handwriting, so I'm assuming I thought these up:

• A person is described as "youngish," who then says, "I'm older than I look."
• Remember the "To Catch A Predator" show? The host catches Bigfoot somehow, but refuses to broadcast it because of "panic." He ensnares the monster when he's in a chat room mentioning how big his "feet" are.
• There's someone like storm chasers, but they're Energy Chasers, a team of "true believers" who hold to the theory that a town is a like a body, like "any system" is. They consider themselves like chiropractors of systems.
• There's a guy whose wife gets up and makes his newspapers into scrolls. He says, "I'm an old fashioned guy." Because of its size, she gets up extra early on Sunday.
