    Things that make us LOL

    Kind of like the policial meme thread, only TBH I'm not crazy about political memes. I don't find them funny--even liberal ones.

    So, here is a place where we can park things that make us laugh, because, God knows, humor is very important these days.

    My favorite humorist-du-jour is Dave Barry, who is now on Substack, so if you can read this easily without signing up or paying, you might find it as funny as I did.

    That Barry piece was great! It has been years since I read anything by him.

    I assume that you can only see this if you have a Facebook account, but I thought it was hilarious:

    Two things I found hilarious in his article that he didn't even write

    1) That direct quote from the NYT article is not even parody. I read that article when it came out and the part about what the Bezoses do when they first get up in the morning is not even a joke. Come on. No wonder it inspired Barry to write a whole article.

    2) The photo of Dave Barry's mug (the one that reads "Continued Unmeasured Engless Despair However Alive") has a caption attributing the source of the mug to Engrish.com. You have to go to that site. I've been crying I've been laughing so hard. I am very tempted to buy a couple of mugs for two friends of mine who have great senses of humor.
