Something you don't see every day in Minnesota

Jesse and Allie wanted to get their picture taken with one of the “Amish Xing” signs that proliferate in Western New York. We tried to find an Amish restaurant for lunch, but the one I remembered from the old days had closed. Instead, we dined on mammoth slices of real New York pizza in downtown Geneva.

This video made me guffaw. Thanks @RezBomb for letting us know about it.

My friend Patty Talahongva originally posted this on Facebook and it made me smile. Laurel and Hardy vs. The Gap Band

Ohhhhh. I get it now.

Art shows what Cherokee Lite really looks like at the Minnesota State Fair. Yup, that’s right. He lost a lot of weight last year. It’s a joke. In picture form. Stop rolling your eyes.

Take a close look at this “found pet” poster I found on fark.com. Made me spit water through my nose. Now the CIA’s in trouble for that, too. Who needs pain pills when you can just surf the internetz for funniez?

Love him or hate him, the outgoing president sure was (unintentionally) entertaining at times. Slate compiles the top 25 Bushisms of the last eight years. He said we misunderestimated him, but he was wrong.

Here are some pictures to keep those memories of the Bush years alive (courtesy of the PensitoReview):

Bill tries the laab gai. Laura told him to try it before he slathered on the sriracha sauce, but would he listen?

Enjoyed dinner at my favorite restaurant in Apple Valley tonight with Laurie, Bill Roehl (author of the LazyLightning blog), his wife, Kim, his cousin-in-law, Laura, and friend, Tim. We had a blast getting to know each other and sampling some tasty (and spicy) Thai dishes. Haven’t laughed that hard in a good, long time. Here’s a link to Bill’s review. He nailed it — all except the part where he refers to Laurie as my much better half. Oh, all right, he got that right, too.

Katie won’t find this comic very funny….

From Saturday’s New York Times:

If you followed the rules — windows up, doors locked, absolutely no pets or convertibles — you could motor among packs of the fearsome creatures at Lion Country Safari, a drive-through wildlife preserve whose residents occasionally dislodged bumpers and gnawed on side-view mirrors.
But in November, Lion Country Safari enclosed its 14 African lions in a tall chain-link fence to keep rule-breaking visitors from becoming lunch. Too many were opening their car windows and occasionally even doors, a park official said, making the threat of lawsuits too great for the small attraction.
“People are just ignorant about this size animal,” said Terry Wolf, the park’s wildlife director, who began working there as a teenager shortly after it opened in 1967. “I don’t mean it in a derogatory way, but they watch a lot of Disney movies and think because we feed them every day that they’re tame.”

He might not mean in in a “derogatory” way, but I’ll come right out and say it: “Some people just ain’t right. Know what I mean?”
