What just made you LOL?

High School daughter had first swim meet of season. Out of county so they were entitled to a school bus. So they took it as a team-bonding exercise.

On the way home, they decided to stop at Dairy Queen. They tried to take the bus through the drive-thru. She just described the look of horror on the woman's face

I bet it was like the woman's at Captain D's counter when I ordered 200 hushpuppies.

ETA: We were having an impromptu fish fry.

Ahhhh, good time, good times. The poor fast food employees when our basketball or track bus would pull in.

When I worked at the bar if we all of a sudden got inexplicably busy, the owner would say "tour bus."

Re: tour bus

When I worked the grill at Sonic, in my teens, our manager would yell "Load it!! Slam coming!!"

Ecce Homo

A description of a picture. The "restoration" of the fresco of Jesus which now "resembles a crayon sketch of a very hairy monkey in an ill-fitting tunic"

And the picture itself. Sorry, art-lovers, but this is hilarious. Somehow it had escaped my attention until now, so it made me lol.

I love the scroll she added at the bottom too. It's like a Mr. Bean production.

I've seen this numerous times, but I still snorted loudly again when I saw it just now. I love it.

I think the Cellar should definitely endorse the campaign to preserve the "restoration" Laughter is so precious

Groupon's Guide to Having a Million Dollars:

Quote:
One million dollars is the largest amount of money any human can conceive of, much less accumulate over a lifetime. Here are the extravagant items you’re required to purchase once you achieve the only financial goal worth pursuing:

• Portrait of yourself stroking a fluffy cat and/or skull
• Carelessly amassed pile of boats
• Rare Superman comic where he punches out Eisenhower
• A roaring indoor fire
• A man in white gloves who isn’t the butler, don’t hand him anything (wearing white gloves is the man’s entire job)
• Ancient statue of a dead Greek hunk
• Oh man, a pool table!

Thinking about a Yosemite Sam smilie shooting off his guns and going "YEHAW!"

and getting butter on my cuffs. That's an Oscar Wilde thing. I'm a lit nerd and I don't care who knows. stuff like that pops up in my head all the time and I think I might be crazy so call me, maybe.
