Feb 4 2022 - Would you rather be ... or ...

 

While looking for famous snow storm headlines yesterday I found this website at the bottom of the ads - the hairpin.com.  It looks like it is now dormant without postings for a few years.  So I don't know what made it come up at the bottom of the ads.  This  is what came up:  Would You Rather Be A Person Who Smells Peonies All The Time Or A Person Who Smells Gasoline All The Time?   That is a question that is quirky and interesting. The narrative that goes with this question is scattered, disorganized, and visually congested as there are no paragraphs.   The questions are fun and interesting of themselves.  With these cautions, the blog is HERE.  Would You Rather Be A Fireplace Or Hot Chocolate With Marshmallows? Would You Rather Be Thanksgiving Food Or A Thanksgiving Decoration? Would You Rather Be A Skeleton Or A Mummy? Would You Rather Be The Sun Rising Late Or The Sun Setting Early? Would You Rather Be The Last Days Of Summer Or The First Days Of Fall? Would You Rather Be A Firework Or The Beach? Would You Rather Be A June Bug Or June Carter Cash? Would You Rather Be Seasonal Allergies Or A Hangover? Would You Rather Be A Flower Or Warmth? Would You Rather Be A Sunny Cold Day Or A Cloudy Warm Day? Would You Rather Be A Valentine Or Snow? Would You Rather Be Santa Or Jesus? Would You Rather Be Buried Alive Or A Ghost? Which question would you rather answer? Today's picture is a bit of graffiti on a cement wall that brings a smile.

June 7 - Humour in the Bulletin

There are hundreds of thousands of churches and millions of church goers.  With services are every week stretching far into the past, the Church Bulletin Humour collected over the years is abundant:

1. Bertha Belch, a missionary from Africa, will be speaking tonight at Calvary Methodist. Come hear Bertha Belch all the way from Africa.
2. The Rev. Merriwether spoke briefly, much to the delight of the audience.
3. Applications are now being accepted for 2 year-old nursery workers.
4. The pastor will preach his farewell message, after which the choir will sing, “Break Forth Into Joy.”
5. Next Sunday Mrs. Vinson will be soloist for the morning service. The pastor will then speak on “It’s a Terrible Experience.”
6. The eighth-graders will be presenting Shakespeare’s Hamlet in the church basement on Friday at 7 p.m. The congregation is invited to attend this tragedy.
7. At the evening service tonight, the sermon topic will be “What is Hell?”. Come early and listen to our choir practice.
8. Ushers will eat latecomers.

The 315

Fall 2017 brings up runway collections of clothes and university registration dates.  Even though Fall is a time for school, it is  not considered a reading time - summer 2017 brings up many best books to read. I wondered if we track humour, but find that trending jokes are not present on the internet.  However, one retrieves most interesting things on queries such as this.  I found Laugh.com and at the top of the list was Firesign Theatre  and their Eat or Be Eaten album.  An American comedy troupe in the late 1960's and early 1970's, they did live radio performances in Los Angeles.  Their approach to comedy was strongly influenced by the Goon Show.  To find out about the group you can visit the website firesigntheatre.com.  They celebrated their 50th anniversary last year.  I remember titles such as:  - How can you be in two places at once when you're not anywhere at all - I think we're all bozos on this bus - Don't crush that dwarf, hand me the pliers Today's picture is the D&RGW 315 in a photo-op drive by.  This is one of the Durango Railroad Historical Society's restoration projects and it has been  operational since 2007.  We had  quite a few of these opportunities during our ride up in the mountains.  The train would stop, and we'd disembark, then form a line of photographers.  The train would back up and then come around a curve, etc. with all of us snapping away (or taking videos, so no talking).
