Check out real life humor of how to potty train a very slow sloth.
From Denny: The above photo is funny considering sloths are known for being extremely slooooow creatures. So, the joke goes, "How long did it take the sloth to cross the road?"
What's far funnier is this serious video about potty training orphan sloths. Did you know that sloths only come down from their treehouses once a week to go to their version of the bathroom? The base of the tree seems to be their place of choice.
Believe it or not, these kind folks at this sloth refuge, The Aviarios del Caribe sloth sanctuary in Costa Rica, are working to teach orphan sloths the basics of just how to go about being a sloth. The refuge folks want to release these sloths back into the wild but can't until the little animals learn their potty training.
Check out how filmmaker Lucy Cooke documented the life at this sloth orphanage - and everything you need to know about how to potty train your baby sloth like the expression they get on their face before or after doing their "business." You can follow Cooke on Twitter: amphib_avenger. She has plenty more cute baby sloth photos and video for you to enjoy. Visit her blog too: The Amphibian Avenger.
Oh, and the "Sloth Federation" (probably headed up by Stephen Colbert or other irreverent folk) asks us to quit with the "You are so lazy you are slothful" jokes. Sloths need respect too.

Video: 10 Funniest and Seriously Trippy Cereal Ads
Check out some funny demented cereal ads over the decades - and how your mind has been secretly brainwashed to buy their products as adults.
From Denny: Ah, YouTube, an endless source of entertaining and absolutely useless information. Check out what was thrown up on the site in regard to all those crazy cereal ads you grew up on as a kid. These ads really know how to appeal to kids and their need to play with their food. Probably why artists and writers are the last of the adults to give up their cereal addictions...
Kinda makes you wonder how those ad agencies suceeded in brainwashing you to be addicted to those same stupid products today as an adult. I only recently broke my addiction to Cocoa Puffs and Captain Crunch, and oh, so many bowlfuls of that Tony the Tiger Super Sugary Corn Flakes. OK, truth be told, I've been addictive cereal free for years now... but hey! no harm in tripping down Fond Memories Lane...:)

Check out the crazy antics of these drugged spiders.

Funny Video: Stewart RIPS Karl Rove, Fox News 4 Selective Foreign Donor Outrage
Check out Jon Stewart as he nails Karl Rove and the Republicans to the wall for their usual hypocrisy and phony outrage - all with news clips.
From Denny: Does anyone like dastardly Republican dirty tricks political strategist Karl Rove? Not even the Republicans like him any more. Well, you know the Democrats despise him for sure. Everyone is holding their breath while the law catches up with him - like those recent emails that surfaced this week proving he lied to a grand jury about being guilty of treason - outting CIA operative Valerie Plame.
You know, the lady who was tracking nukes in the Middle East and keeping us safe. Yeah. Cheney, Bush and Rove blew up a long nurtured intelligence network to keep nukes out of the hands of terrorists. When Rove exposed Plame - just because he was mad at her husband for contradicting Rove's phony statements about Iraq nukes - he exposed all the people feeding us information to locate those rogue nuke operations. The new movie is out about this incident and pretty accurate to the history.
While waiting for prosecution against Rove, Jon Stewart has made himself content ripping Rove, other GOP leaders and Fox News, exposing them for consistent lying and hypocrisy. It's so simple really. All Stewart had to do was to pull Fox News' own news clips to prove it. Ain't Life grand?! :)
Stewart also talks about the latest idiot ruling out from the Supreme Court, called the Citizens United ruling, that relaxed restrictions on how much money anonymous corporations can spend on political ads. Oh, sweet, we get our airwaves flooded by anonymous a$$holes instead of the ones we can target for tar and feather and run out of town parties.
This same ruling also allows organizations called "501c4s" to get a special tax status where they are not demanded to reveal just who donated to them. Bigger a$$holes in this group. Does it get any more corrupt than this Chief Justice Roberts' Supreme Court in the new millennium?
Stewart points out that primarily the Republicans, but also the Democrats, both promote fear mongering. Of course, Karl Rove was terribly indignant he was accused of what he has always done: lie and fear monger. Now he is calling for that to be revealed who is behind all these accusations against him and the Republicans. What a hypocrite as Stewart soon reveals.

Funny Video: Colbert Fuses Halloween Holiday With March To Keep Fear Alive
Check out outrageous Colbert as he gives tips for your Halloween costume while he encourages you to attend his March to Keep Fear Alive.
From Denny: Remember, "Nation," that Colbert's March to Keep Fear Alive (politically speaking, that is) also occurs on the Halloween weekend. Now that's special, don't you agree? Colbert suggests we all wear funny Halloween costumes as we march while he reminds us of exactly of what we should be afraid.
Colbert, with his usual outrageous tongue in cheek attitude, says there are so many things to righteously fear: "immigrants who came here after our grandparents or Katy Perry's breasts." Colbert highlighted a town in upstate New York promoting a new kind of fear that Colbert found wildly fascinating: Dead muslims. It was the town of Sidney, New York, that tried recently to have a private Muslim cemetery removed from their town. Yes, "Nation," that's fear of dead Muslims.
Colbert says that "Usually when you die, your threat level decreases significantly." So, what would be the only logical conclusion to explain their unreasonable fear in this town? It must be the threat of Muslim vampires, muses Colbert. Advice was offered on how to keep away those Muslim vampires - like wearing a bacon turtleneck, because "a crucifix won't work" and "a drawing of Mohammad just makes them madder."
So, to make the Halloween holiday and the March to Keep Fear Alive really interesting, Colbert thought we all should embrace the season. He encouraged marchers "to come disguised as whatever I've taught you to fear."

Funny Video: Jon Stewart Reveals Rally to Restore Sanity Location
Stewart gives careful directions on how funny it can be to find the rally in downtown Washington, D.C.
From Denny: Stewart reminds us that his crazy ill-conceived Rally to Restore Sanity will occur exactly on October 30th. He wants to make sure you can easily find it. Just how do you do that? Well, Stewart advises that whenever there is scheduled to be a huge gathering of protestors in Washington, D.C., that it's pretty easy to find them. The center of activity can be discovered by following the people who look like they just emerged from a dark anarchist enclave. Who knows? Maybe the crowd also looks like they just piled out of a clown car belonging to the official unofficial Pretend Populist Patriot circus.
You may end up unintentionally shadowing normal reasonable people just walking down the street. But then this approach would get you nowhere near the U.S. Capitol. So, don't follow them if you want to get to the Rally to Restore Sanity. Be on the lookout for normal reasonable people who enjoy being reasonable. They will lead you astray.

Funny Video: Colbert Looks At Tea Party Coloring Books For Kids
More irreverent senseless commentary from the infamous Colbert, commenting on the random senseless acts from the Tea Party.
From Denny: You know Colbert. He so loves his "Tip Of The Hat and Wag Of The Finger" segment. This time he acknowledges the idiot publishing company marketing a new Tea Party coloring book. Unbelievable. This crazy piece of political propaganda reaches down to the youngest children to teach Tea Party values utilizing pictures and games.
Colbert illuminates us, demonstrating how this silly coloring book is "more comprehensive than that other conservative kids' activity book: the Republican 'Pledge to America.'" Patriotic images are paired with lengthy diatribe captions that are mind-numbingly dull. What kid wants to hear about limiting the Federal Government's power? Like Colbert says, "because nothing brings joy to a child more than a five-clause sentence."
Of course, Colbert chimed in with his bright ideas for marketing other Tea Party books with catchy tiles like Christine O'Donnell's "Rainy Day Book Of Masturbation Alternatives" or "Down On The Farm With Carl Paladino" - featuring a story about a woman and a horse - that will probably confuse and scare children more than help them learn.

From Denny: All this weekend - and early this week - I've had the usual case of "Fall Fever." Who really wants to stay inside after a dreadful summer of weirdly high heat and humidity? When Louisiana weather calms down to cooler temperatures at night and low humidity during the day it's, well, irresistible. And the blogging just had to wait this weekend.
It was also a case of cleaning up all the overgrown "everything" in the flower beds since it's been several months - when it was so hot and humid medical professionals were telling everyone it was too hard on your heart to be out in the heat doing hard workouts.
Anyway, my crazy plants thank you for your patience. They now have newly planted homes since there were so many of them multiplying they had to move out from their parents' homes and into new places in the yard. Purple irises love to spread the love.

The party down plants are the chocolate mint. They are indestructible - whether it's flooding rain waters or drought - these crazy plants just keep on thriving! I'm wondering if they are the comedians of the plant kingdom.
What's nice about chocolate mint is that hummingbirds love them as much as those fat bumblebees. When pollinating insects were rare the past couple of years, well, it must have been because they were all partying over in my yard.
Try crushing the leaves of the chocolate mint in your hands and you get this light chocolate scent wafting up into the breeze along with a faint mint companion. You can even cut back chocolate mint and treat it like a low growing shrub or let it go hog wild and it looks like a two foot tall grass. Definitely a cool plant.
I've come to the conclusion that all artists must be gardeners. It's just such an irresistible canvas to play with and shift and change at will. Of course, the mud factor is definitely appealing too. :)
Included here are links from the past couple of weeks and some popular posts too - especially recipes. Lots of humor to keep you de-stressed and laughing! Make sure to check out the new convenient Google Blogger gadgets on the blogs that feature the most recent posts and the most popular posts.

From Denny: It's been a wild ride changing internet providers and I was off line for 10 days. I tell ya when you slow down to snail time it takes a while to gear back up to a fast pace. So, rather than try to catch up I've decided to round up what there is and not sweat what there isn't. Gee, can you tell I absorbed "Greek Time" when I visited Santorini several years ago? Greek Time is extremely slow, unhurried and a definite "I'll get around to it" attitude. :)
