Laughter is good for you, right? March 7, 2008

Posted by Anya in : spontaneous degeneration, smiling is good for you , trackback

[This was supposed to be posted last night, but reformedblogs went bananas.  Oh well.] 

Last night the guys were running around in the gym.
me:  “Samwise, it’s fun to watch you all being crazy with the football.”
Sam:  “Really?”  *look of mild agony [is that an oxymoron?]*  “I drank too much ….”
What I heard:  wine.
What he said:  ‘wian… punch.
That took me a minute to figure out.

Sam L sent me a picture of when he was a baby.  He’s sitting in a paper bag.  I have no idea why.  It’s one of the funniest things I’ve seen in ages, though.  His description:  “im in like a bag haha“  Haha is right.  I laughed so hard that Ibey came down from where he had been supposedly asleep to see what was so funny. 

Ben B, who was going for the Sounds-Most-Like-A-Fortune-Cookie award said to me: 

New experience happen to us all the time.

They make life exciting.

Seriously.  Couldn’t he get a job writing fortunes?  Well, probably not a good occupation for a Calvinist.  Rats.

Christine remembered to send me a Garfield comic.  With one pathetic snow-thing (not really a flake) falling and Garfield saying, “Great.  Now I’ll be stuck here till the snowplows come.”  It would not have been as funny before I had friends in warmer states.  :D

And I’m re-reading A Severe Mercy, which is one of the greatest books I’ve ever read.  It makes me laugh.  And cry. 

And I really had been planning to do a more serious post, but after Sam’s picture it was not going to work out tonight.  My apologies to anyone who was really terribly disappointed; feel free to read some of the old ones. 

And finally, much as I dislike some of Relient K’s songs, the one which goes “I just wasted ten seconds of your life” amuses me immensely.

Goodnight, and God bless you.  I enjoy the comments, I enjoy posting, and yes, I enjoy laughing.

Laughter is very good for you.
If he can’t write fortunes, maybe he could get a job at Hallmark?

I enjoy laughing too. Especially when I read your posts. At least now I have a fallback career if college doesn’t provide better options :) Hallmark is a good idea too!

BTW, the garfield comic cracked me up…probably because I’m one of those “friends from warmer states…:)”
