Between the two of us (me and E), we spend a lot of time on the internetz, and yes, he deserves the credit for introducing me to Lolcats. But between the two of us (me and you), I've got a list of my own sites when I need some extra humor in my life.
My top 5:
1. Bad banana. If you're not in the Twitterverse, you should enter it solely for Tim Siedell's hilarious tweets. His profile statement alone makes me (legitimately) giggle every time.
2. Suri's burn book. My relationship with tabloids and celebrities really only exists when I'm on the elliptical and there happen to be magazines left behind in the fitness center. BUT, I do love this site. And if you know more than I do about the celeb world (or just a little bit less), I think you'll enjoy it, too.
3. Dear blank, please blank. A classic. My favorite: "Dear Noah, We could have sworn you said the ark wasn't leaving till 5. Sincerely, The Unicorns." I chuckled (and still am) the entire time writing that.
4. Timothy McSweeney's Internet Tendency. Specifically, the 'Open Letters to People or Entities Who are Unlikely to Respond'. I think this site might be my favorite because it's also populated by real and awesome writers.
5. Texts from dog. This one is 50% crude past the point of being funny, but there are definitely a few gems in there.
Happy laughing! What are some of your go-to sites when you're lookin' for a chuckle? I can always use more.

Text message musings, part 2.
Backstory: E found an awesome website that sells super nice watches at crazy low prices, and like we always do when we want something, I had an email waiting for me. Actually, there were two, and the second said, “A possible gift idea. I decided that I am not going to buy it for myself.”
He’s sneaky with hints like that.
Here’s our conversation about said watch.
...............
Me, 8:16 AM: “Don’t forget to buy soccer tickets.”
E, 9:11 AM: “Got them. Check email plz.”
Me, 9:16 AM: “I did. It’s a nice watch, but a) the last gift I gave you was a watch, and b) you told me I couldn’t spend more than $25 on a birthday gift for you.”
E, 9:29 AM: “That is true. Maybe I should buy it for myself. Tell me what to do.”
[Notice that I pass the chance to really turn the tables here.]
Me, 9:32 AM: “I really don’t know. You have 3 watches. Can you see yourself wearing 4 on a consistent enough basis to justify buying this one.”
E, 9:36 AM: “No. But this one is a lot better quality and a great deal.”
[Pfft. The quality comment = so not true for the Skagen watch I gifted him for Christmas.]
Me, 9:39 AM: “It sounds like you want me to tell you if there is a reason that you shouldn’t buy it instead of helping you make a decision.”
E, 10:02 AM: “Just tell me what to do.”
[Again, I take the high road. I'm more and more saint-like with every text.]
Me, 10:03 AM: “Honestly, whatever you want. I’m not going to be mad if you buy it, if that’s what you’re worried about.”
E, 10:18 AM: “But do you want me to buy it?
[About to unleash some wisdom]
Me, 10:20 AM: “I think you have enough watches, but me having enough clothes doesn’t mean I don’t want more. That’s how I can best sum up my feelings.”
E, 10:29 AM: “This is my last purchase for a long time. Hold me to it.”
[…‘unless it’s for me’, I think]
Me, 10:32 AM: “Deal.”
[3 minutes later]
E, 10:35 AM: “I decided not to get it.”
Me, 10:35 AM: “Why?”
E, 10:42 AM: “I couldn’t find reviews online.”
Me, 10:42 AM: “I love you.”

Is it weird that I share this? Is it stupid I found this exchange funny? Am I boring?

Text message musings, part 1.
Background: I have no idea.
E, 1:29 PM: "How is your day going?"
Me, 1:50 PM: "It's not bad. I fed some turtles. How is your day going?"
[no reply for hours - rude.]
E, 4:43 PM: "You are silly."
Me, 4:45 PM: "You are poopy."
E, 5:37 PM: "Oh no, you did not."
E, 1:29 PM: "How is your day going?"

[un]Photogenic.
I get a real kick out of some the photos my family takes. My mom is famous for her hate of being in front of an camera, and while she claims the other five of us are photogenic, we find ways to prove her wrong.
I know you want to see more of my family's (lack of) ability. Behold, the newest gems.
I snapped these at mini-me's graduation party, and can't decide which is better. Dad's "I look high" face, or my cousin's creeper smile.
By the way, it's totally kosher to laugh at these. In fact, please do.
