Fun Friday: Laugh Out Loud Links!

Fun Friday, Links Nov 11, 2011 10 Comments

 

It’s Fun Friday again! I had so much fun reading blogs this week, but these three
stuck out to me as the funniest:

 

Saturday Night Live did a spoof of the Kardashian divorce. It was hilarious, and I actually like the Kardashians. I think this is a good lesson in learning to laugh at ourselves. I hope the Kardashians all watched and had a good chuckle. Because if we can’t laugh at our own mistakes, life is going to be pretty boring. Oh, and I loved the Kris Humphries impersonation. It really captured what I think of him. I am beginning to wonder why I stopped watching SNL. I don’t stay up that late, but maybe it’s worth recording?

 

Childhood Relived had a hilarious post about the movie The Goonies and being a latch-key kid. I, too, was home alone starting in third grade and loved the reminder of how much fun I had as a kid, but how scary that would seem today. The TV show references were a little bit before my time, but I remember watching Oprah and Phil Donohue while heating up those little pizza pockets in the oven. Good memories!

 

Debra Kristi had a guest post by Myndi Shafer that was all about what’s in the underwear drawer. It was a funny read and it got me to thinking. At first I just remembered how I kept all my cash in my underwear drawer when I lived in Ecuador because nobody trusted the banks. But then I remember the time in college where some fraternity boys broke in and stole a bunch of everyone’s underwear. We found them in big plastic bags in the freezer. Most of my friends were mortified, I mostly thought it was a good prank, even though I seem to remember a pair of mine ending up on the frat house flag pole. Yeah, I have good taste in undies. When it was all said and done, I ended up with an official apology letter from the fraternity president, on fraternity letterhead. That letter is still in the back on my underwear drawer today.

 

If you check out any of these, I’d love to know what you think. Did any posts make you laugh out loud this week?

Happy Friday! Have a great weekend.

      I’m so happy you liked it! Somehow, I think anything and everything about underwear has the potential to be funny. It also reminded me that I need an undie update. Shopping trip!

    That’s funny and true, wasn’t the underwear thief from here ;)

      Yes, the underwear burglary happened here in the U.S. when I was in college. If it’d happened in Ecuador they’d have found my at-home-bank-account. That would’ve been bad! And for the record, I keep all my money in the bank now.

    Wow! Thanks for the shout out Emma. Myndi gave a great guest post, didn’t she? Sorry to hear your undies went up the pole. At least it should feel good to know your’s were considered better than all the rest! I am getting such a late start today. I had a post to launch this morning and the day is already half over. Think I’ll save it for next week now. LOL Like you not getting your butt out the door, I couldn’t get mine out of bed this morning. :D Hope you are feeling better!

      Well, thank you for featuring such a fun post! I always love reading about undies. And thanks for the compliment. Yes, my undies were the most fashionable of the group! I hope once you get out of bed, your weekend is fabulous!

      Thanks for stopping by. Wasn’t that post hilarious? Sometimes we take things too seriously and we need to step back and remember things that make us smile, like underwear. Have a great weekend!
