The folks over at MTV Sticky (i.e. Viacom Brand Solutions International) sent me their very cool Teen Age Clicks: Understanding Global Youth Culture report, which is packed with interesting info and stats. They gave me permission to excerpt a few... Read the rest of this post

It's been a rough few weeks in the Childs family (as in my immediate family, which is me and my mom and dad). My mom is home from a two-plus week stay in hospital and on a painfully slow road to recovery. So, because I've had enough seriousness in my real life, I though I'd share some total fun-ness in the blogosphere.
All these pictures come from I Can Has Cheezburger, one of the funniest photo blogs I've seen. (And, yes, the appalling grammar is part of the fun!) They have hundreds (thousands?) of hilariously captioned animal photos. Here are some of my favorites:
Hope these brought a smile to your face like they did mine.

…fun and “scientifically proven” by a prof at McGill. I just played the demo — it is worth checking out.

The Washington Post is a mecca for poetry lovers. Go ahead, do the free registration, if you have to. You'll thank me the next time you're desperate for a Poetry Friday idea. (Or you can read it at your local library, but it's hard to link to that online.)
Not only do they have a weekly column called Poet's Choice by Robert Pinsky, which publishes outstanding poems along with a brief commentary, but they also publish articles on the local Poetry Slam scene and they note the death of soldier/poets. (Here he is, slamming.)
They also publish reviews of children's poetry books, and even a blow-by-blow recounting of a date between a pre-published children's book author and an actor. (Just guessing her children's book rhymes. No evidence.) Not to mention this story of a runner who sings the Mister Roger's theme song to pit bulls and yes, there's a poetry connection there. You just have to read all the way to the end to discover it.
But what I truly enjoy is their regular Sunday feature, "Life is Short: Autobiography as Haiku." Okay, it's not really haiku, but participants have to use 100 words or less to describe their own lives. Week after week, I laugh and I cry. (That last one is written by Suzie Celentano, my yoga teacher.)
And of course, there's always the time honored technique of cutting words out of the newspaper and flinging them into the air to make your own Dada poetry. Here's what happened when I pasted this particular post into that last link:

Hey, that's almost a poem. And it's almost Poetry Friday. See you soon.

LOL! Thanks for some Sunday morning smiles!
Love it! Especially the no-ears kitty.
Um...it is a kitty, right? (Or could it be...an alien?)
;-)
Cara
What's up with those cats? That's hilarious!
I've been an I Can Haz Cheezburger fan for a while. It never fails to make my day. Loved these!!!
Yeah, I'm not a cat person but these pics get me every time. They even have a thing where you can write your own caption to one of their pictures.
Glad everyone's enjoying them. =)
We have windows like that top picture and I am always afraid that will happen to my cat.
Hilarious! Thanks for the laughs.
MORE CATS... what gives? I have some fish over on my site... maybe ktties want a snack! ;)
