Uncontrollable laughter

Way back in 1991, a friend told me "You know, it's really hard to make you laugh." I chuckled at that, though of course it was a mere relief spasm caused by the fact that the world hadn't conflagrated during Gulf War 1. Still, I don't laugh all that much.

Now it's got to be said that I find Dave Eggers a pain in the ass, all the footnotes and my jealousy at his seeming proximity to Charles Burns. But all that studied 500-level English class crap those kids sling about, coupled with the self-congratulatory archness...shudder! Plus I can't look at the Eggman without thinking of the old Dick Tracy villain Flat Top:












Where was I? Oh! So on...Saturday maybe? Sunday? We were at the thrift store and I came across a McSweeney's humor [no u in humor! amazing!] compendium in hardback for two bucks and picked it up. Surely there would be something decent in it...

Well, it did have quite a few pearlers therein, but...no, it had to be Saturday, I was in the front room on Saturday...when I came to a list called "Featured Items on the Menu at the Existentialist's Cafe" I was confronted with item one:



Pasta cooked like hell

Now it may not be very funny, but for some reason, in the mood I was in, it left me wrecked and I laughed until I was limp. I STILL love it, the simplicity that speaks volumes, etc. I couldn't get the words out to the puzzled Bride. When I finally could, she barely smirked at all and was still "Christ, buddy...it's nothing to lose your mind over..."

Anyway.

This blog is an organic, everchanging entity


New thing! Nick Eddy Internet Haha's!



Random crap, culled from the internet by me, run through a stringent "is it funny?" process and then posted for all your reblogging needs.



And, as I have no inclination to follow Digg or Fark or any of that, the cyber nicknack's here posted may already be played out, tired or well and truly over - I would not have a clue! YES!



Here's one:


















Har!
