Lampooning Perfectionists - Cheeky Quote Day 28 Oct 2009

I went cruising the web looking for more funny chocolate quotes than I already have stashed on Romancing The Chocolate blog and ran into funny Sandra Boynton's site. She has a new movie short just released a couple of days ago. B. B. King sings alongside his famous sidekick Lucille.

Let's all support her as this is her first movie debut. The little documentary that sidekicks it is interesting as to how many people it really takes, all the hoops they have to jump through, just to make a tiny film - and she made it funny too!

5 Funny Quotes Lampooning Perfectionists



Photo from StumbleUpon, no attribution available

From Denny: While working on the Cheeky Quote Day segment on Wednesdays at The Social Poets, I was struck by how many comments have been made through the centuries about humanity's drive for perfectionism. Since I grew up around far too many annoying perfectionists that drove me crazy most of the time to the point that I used to pretend I was deaf, dumb and woefully stupid just so they would leave me alone. :)

It's healthy, in my unesteemed opinion, to have a laugh on yourself as much as lampoon humanity in general. Get a grin from this little sampling taste of what is upcoming on tomorrow's Cheeky Quote Day over at The Social Poets. Enjoy!

Perfection Quotes

* The closest to perfection a person ever comes is when he fills out a job application form. - Stanley J. Randall

* No one is perfect... that's why pencils have erasers. - Anonymous

* When you aim for perfection, you discover it's a moving target. - George Fisher

* A good garden may have some weeds. - Thomas Fuller, Gnomologia, 1732

* The most difficult part of attaining perfection is finding something to do for an encore. – Anonymous

41 Funny Conan OBrien Quotes



From Denny: The one thing I enjoy about comedians so much, at least the really smart ones that don't rely totally on shock crass trash talk exclusively, is they really get a handle on social incongruities. Conan O'Brien is one of those talented comedians. While it's true no comedian can be funny all the time, every time, this guy sure hits it right the majority of the time. Take a look and enjoy!

Quotes

Conan on society and culture:

* Yesterday in Egypt, archaeologists discovered the burial site for the 50 children of Ramses II...Fifty children! What I want to know is, who decided to name a condom after this guy?

* Starbucks says they are going to start putting religious quotes on cups. The very first one will say, 'Jesus! This cup is expensive!'

* A study in the Washington Post says that women have better verbal skills than men. I just want to say to the authors of that study: 'Duh.'

* Webster's Dictionary will replace the term orgasm with the more accurate 'I-hope-she-doesn't-know-I'm-thinking-about-her-friend-gasm.'

* Apparently the new high-tech Star Wars toys will be in stores any day now. The toys can talk and are interactive, so they can be easily distinguished from Star Wars fans.

* Several hard-core Star Wars fans who had tickets for the first showing actually said that when the movie finally began, they started crying. Mainly because they realized that it's 22 years later, and they still haven't lost their virginity.

* New research in geometry will result in the renaming of several familiar shapes. New Year's Eve in New York will be celebrated in Times Oval, and teenage boys everywhere will participate in rhombus jerks.

* Early on, they were timing my contract with an egg timer.

* In West Virginia yesterday, a man was arrested for stealing several blow-up dolls. Reportedly, police didn't have any trouble catching the man because he was completely out of breath.

* In Cleveland there is legislation moving forward to ban people from wearing pants that fit too low. However, there is lots of opposition from the plumber' union.



Conan on alcoholism:

* Scientists announced that they have located the gene for alcoholism. Scientists say they found it at a party, talking way too loudly.

* Mothers will no longer call for 'time-outs' when disciplining their children, but instead will use the more accurate phrase 'Now go sit in a corner and shut your hole while Mommy has a drink.'

* If you can laugh at yourself loud and hard every time you fall, people will think you're drunk.

Conan on politicians and politics:

* Earlier today, Arnold Schwarzenegger criticized the California school system, calling it disastrous. Arnold says California's schools are so bad that its graduates are willing to vote for me.

* Apparently Arnold was inspired by President Bush, who proved you can be a successful politician in this country even if English is your second language.

* Officials at the White House are saying that President Bush hasn't changed his schedule much since the war started. The main difference, they say, is that he's started watching the news and taping Sponge Bob.

* President Bush left for Canada today to attend a trade summit. Reportedly, the trade summit got off to an awkward start when the president pulled out his baseball cards.

* CBS news anchor Dan Rather has interviewed Iraqi dictator Saddam Hussein. When asked what it was like to talk to a crazy man, Saddam said, 'It's not so bad.'

* Earlier tonight at the White House, President Obama had a beer with Harvard Professor Henry Louis Gates and the policeman who arrested him. The meeting got off to a rough start when a neighbor called the police to say Gates was breaking into the White House.

* Yesterday American and British troops handed out food to hundreds of Iraqis. Not surprisingly, the Iraqis handed the British food back.



* President Clinton signed a $10 million deal to write a book by 2003. Isn't that amazing? Yes, and get this, not only that, President Bush signed a $10 million deal to read a book by 2003.

* Presidential campaign getting kind of ugly, did you hear about this? Yesterday, a 27- year-old woman came forward to deny rumors that she had an affair with Democratic front- runner John Kerry. The woman added, "I would never cheat on Bill Clinton.

* Republicans have called for a National African-American Museum. The plan is being held up by finding a location that isn't in their neighborhood.

* The Canadian government continues to say they will not help us if we go to war with Iraq. However, the prime minister of Canada said he'd like to help, but he's pretty sure that last time he checked, Canada had no army.

* The U.S. army confirmed that it gave a lucrative fire fighting contract in Iraq to the firm once run by the Vice President Dick Cheney without any competitive bidding. When asked if this could be conceived as Cheney's friends profiting from the war, the spokesman said 'Yes.'

* President Obama has been explaining his healthcare plan to senior citizens, and yesterday at a town hall meeting, he promised the crowd that he will not “pull the plug on grandma.” There was an awkward moment when grandpa stood up and booed.

* During an NBC news special, President Obama showed Brian Williams what tricks his new puppy Bo could do. In fact, Bo has already learned to sit up and beg for federal bailout money.

* Here's some news: Despite opposition from the public, President Obama says he’s determined to close the prison at Guantanamo Bay. To make sure Guantanamo Bay closes, Obama said the new warden will be the CEO of General Motors.

* Speaking of President Obama, a new book claims that President Obama and his wife went through a rough patch in their marriage where their relationship was somewhat frosty. After hearing this, Bill Clinton said, “I’d kill for 'somewhat frosty.'”

* Howard Dean will win the Democratic presidential nomination proving that in national politics a white Protestant man can prevail against a black man, a Jew, and a creepy elf.

* Yesterday, Arnold Schwarzenegger announced he would run for governor of California. The announcement was good news for Florida residents who now live in the second flakiest state in the country.

* Experts say it could take 80 days to drain all of the flood water out of New Orleans (after Hurricane Katrina devastated the city). When President Bush heard this he said, '80 days, that's half a vacation.'

* Playboy magazine announced that they are going to support the troops by sending them emails from Playboy playmates. After hearing this the U.S. troops said 'Just our luck, we get emails from playmates, but we're embedded with Geraldo.'



Conan on celebrities:

* This Halloween, the most popular mask is the Arnold Schwarzenegger mask. And the best part? With a mouth full of candy you will sound just like him.

* Tom Cruise's attorney said he is going to sue anyone who claims he is gay. In a related story, Ricky Martin's attorney has been hospitalized for exhaustion.

* Martha Stewart showed up at Manhattan FBI Headquarters to have her finger prints taken and pose for a mug shot. Then Martha explained how to get ink off your fingers using seltzer water and lemon juice.

* Scientists announced a device that can be placed in a pacemaker and will call your doctor whenever you are having heart trouble. When told about it, Dick Cheney said, "I can't afford those kind of phone bills."

* The Jerry Springer Hotel Porno tape is finally released, and the public learns a horrible truth: Jerry can only climax while being hit over the head with a chair.

* This is a huge night in my life, ... I cannot tell you how proud I am to be the Emmys' first Catholic host.

* Bob Dole is going to be appearing in a Pepsi commercial with Britney Spears. Yeah, apparently Dole says that if this doesn't cure his erectile dysfunction, nothing will.

* The nightmare is that you spend the rest of your life being funny at parties, then people ask you, "Why didn't you do that on television?

* In California, 50 women protested the impending war with Iraq by lying on the ground naked and spelling out the word 'peace.' Right idea, wrong president. (George Bush was in office, not Bill Clinton.)

13 Funny Twisted Thinking Quotes for Halloween



From Denny: Who was the director who popularized the genre of horror movie-making? The more polite terms of his movie-making would be known as suspense and psychological thrillers. Answer, of course: Britain's own Alfred Hitchcock. This director became well known also for inserting himself briefly into his movies with an odd cameo appearance. You never knew what to expect from him.

When you read some of his quotes you start to get inside his head. The guy had some seriously twisted thinking with a humorous edge. Somehow, Halloween just seems to be his season... creep on, Alfred!

Quotes

* Television has brought back murder into the home - where it belongs.

* Always make the audience suffer as much as possible.

* Give them pleasure - the same pleasure they have when they wake up from a nightmare.

* I'm frightened of eggs, worse than frightened, they revolt me. That white round thing without any holes have you ever seen anything more revolting than an egg yolk breaking and spilling its yellow liquid? Blood is jolly, red. But egg yolk is yellow, revolting. I've never tasted it.



* I am a typed (cast) director. If I made Cinderella, the audience would immediately be looking for a body in the coach.

* The length of a film should be directly related to the endurance of the human bladder.

* I'm not against the police; I'm just afraid of them.

* In feature films the director is God; in documentary films God is the director.

* Television has done much for psychiatry by spreading information about it, as well as contributing to the need for it.

* I never said all actors are cattle; what I said was all actors should be treated like cattle.

* Seeing a murder on television can help work off one's antagonisms. And if you haven't any antagonisms, the commercials will give you some.

* Blondes make the best victims. They're like virgin snow that shows up the bloody footprints.

* When an actor comes to me and wants to discuss his character, I say, 'It's in the script.' If he says, 'But what's my motivation?, ' I say, 'Your salary.'

Cool Creepy Morphing Eyes Animation



Photo by ViaMoi @ flickr

From Denny: You have so got to see this animation! Remind me never to start taking recreational drugs! What a trip! It's perfectly creepy for the Halloween season, not gory but spooky with so many eyes morphing as they stare into your soul. I can only imagine what the psychologists would make of this art idea! :)

Signs of the Times: Funny Churches




Signs of the Times: Funny Churches: "Laughing at church signs

How many times have you passed by a church on your way to work and wished you had a camera? You are in luck as I found the guy who did."

From Denny: This is an article I wrote a while ago documenting all those funny church signs you see on the road as a curious part of our American culture. Europeans wouldn't dare to do something so brazen! :)

Take a look and enjoy! Have a great Saturday and thanks for visiting!

5 Funny Pessimist Curmudgeon Quotes



From Denny: Curmudgeons, pessimists, you name them how you like, we all have them in our lives. They may be our boss, a co-worker, the grocery cashier, a family member who you would like to ditch - but you are related to them. (Hint: Ditch them anyway. You will live longer and happier.)

These crazy quotes from the black hole negative people are hilarious. What a dark outlook on life! And who would we more optimistic types who enjoy laughing have to lampoon if not for these guys? See, there is purpose in the world.

Quotes

* I know that there are people who do not love their fellow man, and I hate people like that! - Tom Lehrer

* The optimist sees the rose and not its thorns; the pessimist stares at the thorns, oblivious to the rose. - Kahlil Gabran

* An optimist will tell you the glass is half-full; the pessimist, half-empty; and the engineer will tell you the glass is twice the size it needs to be. - Anonymous (I grew up with waaay too many engineers.)

* A satirist is a man who discovers unpleasant things about himself and then says them about other people. - Peter McArthur

And, from my favorite funny guy from over a century ago:

* Pessimist: One who, when he has the choice of two evils, chooses both. - Oscar Wilde

*** Tomorrow, Saturday, is This Week's Editorial Cartoons over at The Social Poets. So come by and get some more laughs at what's being lampooned in the news! Thanks for visiting!

Cool Video: Smashing Pumpkins onto Police Cars, Prez Obama Honored for Nobel in Sand Sculpture

From Denny: This is an Oddball segment from Keith Olbermann's Countdown show. Since it's October we get to watch folks in Lincoln County, Maine smash huge pumpkins. They put the several hundred pound pumpkins on a crane high in the air and then drop them onto decommissioned old police cars. Sort of gives you some satisfaction for that speeding or parking ticket you felt you never deserved from whatever decade... :)

What's really cool is the incredible sand sculpture a world renowned sand artist in India did on a local beach in Puri, India recently. The artist is Sudarshan Patanaik and his sculpture is four feet high, depicting President Obama's head embedded in a Nobel Peace Prize medal with an accompanying dove and a message pro Peace. This man is quite the artist! So glad a film crew went out there and recorded it; maybe he will do a painting or print photo to sell as posters? Beautifully done as well as a political statement art.

10 Funny Work Quotes for Monday Morning



Photo of 1940's WW II women at work in a steel factory by The U. S. National Archives @ flickr - Guess you can tell I'm a huge fan of housework... :)

From Denny: I actually slowed down a bit this past weekend to do some housework. Duty called and it's been calling for some time (and you sometimes wonder if you should don a haz-mat suit like these ladies). This time of year it's a good idea to break down the house room by room and clean it all thoroughly before winter settles in, especially if you have some four-footed friends like we do.

For someone who is no fan of the boring business of doing housework and would rather be laughing, found with a very large glass of great red wine in her hand visiting with friends or anything else wonderfully sociable, I came on over to my funny quotes blog for a laugh before I got started on the dreary job. Then it was time to play some loud rock and dance music to keep me going. Hey! Whatever works, right?

Here are some of the funny housework quotes that kept me in good humor, thinking about them while I was working. Might be equally applicable to the usual suspect called The Work Week! Enjoy!

Quotes

* The obvious and fair solution to the housework problem is to let men do the housework for, say, the next six thousand years, to even things up. The trouble is that men, over the years, have developed an inflated notion of the importance of everything they do, so that before long they would turn housework into just as much of a charade as business is now. They would hire secretaries and buy computers and fly off to housework conferences in Bermuda, but they'd never clean anything. - Dave Barry

* One only needs two tools in life: WD-40 to make things go, and duct tape to make them stop. - G.M. Weilacher

* They're sure housework won't kill you, but why take the risk? - Anonymous

* My idea of housework is to sweep the room with a glance. - Anonymous

* Don't cook. Don't clean. No man will ever make love to a woman because she waxed the linoleum - "My God, the floor's immaculate. Lie down, you hot bitch." - Joan Rivers, comedian

* This house is protected by killer dust bunnies. - Anonymous (in my house they are made of cat fur, and like they take on this mind of their own and suddenly start rolling when I'm running after them to catch up until, at last, success, and hurl them into the garbage can.)

* There's nothing to match curling up with a good book when there's a repair job to be done around the house. - Joe Ryan

And then when you are in the middle of it all, bored but accomplished plenty of clean (or you're at work for the same equivalent) our thoughts should turn to retirement for encouragement:

* In retirement, every day is Boss Day and every day is Employee Appreciation Day. – Anonymous

* Retirement is wonderful. It's doing nothing without worrying about getting caught at it. - Gene Perret

* When you retire, think and act as if you were still working; when you're still working, think and act a bit as if you were already retired. – Anonymous

Video: What Cartoonists Are Thinking While Watching Classical Pianists

From Denny: I'm minding my own business while cruising the internet and what do I run across at Best On Tube? This Tom and Jerry cartoon episode.

Cheeky Quote Day Over at The Social Poets 7 Oct 2009



From Denny: Every Wednesday is Cheeky Quote Day over at The Social Poets blog where I put up whatever crazy funny quotes I find for the week. This week the challenge was to find funny quotes about poetry. Let me tell you, that really turned out to be a challenge! Not too many poets have a great sense of humor! Fortunately, we can always count on funny guys like Oscar Wilde, Carl Sandburg, Robert Frost and Walt Whitman among others.

Here's a sampling of 5 quotes for you to enjoy:

* I could no more define poetry than a terrier can define a rat. - A. E. Housman

* If Galileo had said in verse that the world moved, the Inquisition might have let him alone. - Thomas Hardy

* Poetry is not a turning loose of emotion, but an escape from emotion; it is not the expression of personality, but an escape from personality. But, of course, only those who have personality and emotions know what it means to want to escape from these things. - T.S. Eliot, Tradition and the Individual Talent, 1919

* Poets have been mysteriously silent on the subject of cheese. - G.K. Chesterton

* There is the view that poetry should improve your life. I think people confuse it with the Salvation Army. - John Ashbery

5 Funny Quotes About Chocolate Love

From Denny: Who doesn't love chocolate? Well, you just knew I had to collect funny quotes about chocolate and some silly photos too! :)

* I meditate, I do yoga, and I have a lot of friends who are healers...and if none of that works, I go buy a chocolate bar and a bottle of cognac. - Susan Strasberg

Cat Fairy Tales to Soothe on a Bad Day!



From Denny: When your cat whines all day because all it does is rain - like mine did today - be sure to read him or her a lullaby about how awesome, good-looking and wonderful they are. You know, read from the same fairy tale book you read to your special someone in your life! A little ego stroking goes a long way to getting that satisfying purr going and then Life is good!

Some of their favorite quotes to hear when they are settling in for a snooze:

* Cats can be cooperative when something feels good, which, to a cat, is the way everything is supposed to feel as much of the time as possible. - Roger Caras (And we are ego stroking and ego stroking...)

* Cats can work out mathematically the exact place to sit that will cause most inconvenience. - Pam Brown (They hold this practice in high esteem, honing their skills by practicing often.)

This one bears repeating as cats love symmetry and routine:

* Cats can work out mathematically the exact place to sit that will cause most inconvenience. - Pam Brown (All of my kitties have learned this astounding feat.)

* If I tried to tell you how much I love my cats, you wouldn't believe me - unless your heart is also meow-shaped and covered in stray fur. - Lexie Saige (You might want to read this one again and again as big egos and little egos love this one in particular. It's good to know we are loved!)

* If purring could be encapsulated, it'd be the most powerful anti-depressant on the pharmaceutical market. - Alexis F. Hope (Thus endeth the fairy tale with a happy ending. Your cat will look at you, content their worth in the world has been reaffirmed. Besides, "they told you so; you should have listened the first time.")
