What's In A Word?



CHAPTER ONE


When my sister was very young, she loved the Christmas song "Joy To The World", because her name is Joy. But she didn't know all the words to the song, so she used to sing

"Joy to the world, the Lord is come
WA-TI, WA-TI, WA-TIII !!!"

It was so cute we made her sing it over and over. She was teased about this so often, she ended up learning the rest of the song very fast.

CHAPTER TWO

A generation later, when Joy's daughter Lilo turned four, she learned to sing "Joy To The World". She didn't have to go through the WA-TI route, but she did sing this:

"Joy to the world, the Lord is come
Let earth receive her King
Let HAIRY heart, prepare him room..."

Lilo's actually very articulate, but up to now she still asks us to "merove" something from her play table. Her dad actually misses the days she used to be afraid of the "kunder" and the lightning.

A Little Pinoy Humor




My friend Carl dropped by to deliver some fountain pen ink, and to check out where his kids were going to attend Halloween. While we were chatting at the steps of our building, HE notices the business name.
So I whip out my phone cam.

Nothing innocuous about a truck delivering bottled water. Until you enlarge this photo and see that the business name is "Watering Heights". LOL!!! Of course the humor is totally wasted on the bewildered guy making the delivery.

Laughing Out Loud

Yes, it is a crummy, crummy Thursday.  My friend Bobby introduced me to Happy Slip (Christine Gambito) when her Youtube videos just started getting popular in 2007.  My favorite video then was the "More Processed Meat" video.  My favorite characters are her Dad ("DEE-SUSS-TER!") and her Auntie Baby, who is like several ladies I know and love despite their quirks because they're either family or family friends.  Just watch the full family parody playlist on the website, to know what I mean.

This particular sequence cracks me up:

Boypren
Speechless
Contagious
KevJumba vs. Fred G Dance Battle

I'm not embedding them because I believe people should visit the Happy Slip site and discover other laughs on their own.  Yes, it's still a crummy Thursday but I laughed out loud today, and that's always a good thing :)

P.S.  It's all in English, with a smattering of Tagalog.  Christine's great with the accents.  Must! Watch!

CAVEAT: NOT SAFE FOR WORK!


These boys are very cute. And funny. And coordinated. Not since Bulgarian Idol's infamous Ken Lee video have I laughed soooo hard!

Enjoy :)
