Saturday Morning Free Funnies: Wait Wait Don't Tell Me

I am a creature of habit.  We all are.  I just read a book over break about it.  I thought I would share one of my automatic Saturday rituals.  11 am exercise (because I rarely get in my 60 minutes before the weekend) while listening to the Wait Wait Don't Tell Me the NPR news quiz show.  If, for some odd reason, I can't be by the radio during that time my day feels incomplete.  They have several comedians, the audience, and normally a super smart person answer questions about the week's news.  It is really funny.  The good news is that you can listen to them online now, so if your NPR station doesn't play it, you can listen online.

The episodes kind of remind me of the Daily Show from what I remember of it.  I'm more of a radio person than a TV person, so I really enjoy laughing along with the weird news.  Since I'm nerdy the quiz aspect is fun as well.  Go to http://www.npr.org/programs/wait-wait-dont-tell-me/ to listen in online or look up past episodes.  Remember, laughing is good for you and free!

Saturday Morning Free Funnies: Sh*t My Kids Have Ruined

I was looking at finally finishing my kitchen chairs project this morning and found out some really good information and found a hilarious website.  First, I have decided that I want to use vinyl fabric for the kitchen chairs because children are in our 5 year plan and I just can't see regular fabric working well with them.  I also am lazy and don't want to put nice fabric on now and then have to change it when they come.  Second, I am not going to buy vinyl fabric (looked online and it was, *gasp* $15/yd or more!).  Instead, I am going to find a cute vinyl tablecloth to use.  I thought this was an original idea, but I guess it isn't because I found a tutorial here that is pretty good.  That blog mentioned a site that I have found to be hilarious- mainly because I used to work at a daycare during the summer, so I know the path of destruction kids can leave behind.

If you or someone you know has kids and a good sense of humor (and doesn't mind a small amount of language in the title), check out Sh*t My Kids Have Ruined.

It's Saturday!  Woo hoo!  This week's featured funny comes from Tundra.  I grew up on Far Side comics, but I have yet to see legitimate comics from them offered for free.  I decided to surf the web to see if there were comics that were similar to them, but that were offered to the public for free.  I found and fell in love with Tundra.  They are pretty good.  Laughter is good for you, so enjoy!

Here's another favorite from Tundra.

Saturday Morning Free Funnies: XKCD

This week for Saturday Morning Free Funnies I am featuring a favorite free comic of nerds, xkcd.  Beware: this comic is not for everyone.  This comic is most liked by the math/engineering type.  Some of the jokes require quite the background in the sciences, to the point that there is another website called "explain xkcd". I have found some real gems though, like the above comic.  So if you are among the more nerdy set, enjoy!

If you are in need of a good laugh this lovely Saturday morning, there is no need to open up the comics, I have something perfect for you.

Imagine all of the joys of looking through Pinterest decorating boards and the fun of Close to Home comics and marry them.  I now pronounce you, "Catalog Living."  This is one of the funniest things that I've seen in a long time.

Apparently the writer just gets lots of catalogs and puts up extremely witty captions.  I was rolling over with laughter at the wicker ball one that wanted to grow up and become patio furniture.  I think I'm going to check with my local library to see if they have the book the site created.  Anyway, if you are just enjoying your morning cup of joe and are avoiding housework like I do most Saturday mornings go to catalog living for a laugh.
