What's mildly amusing you today?

The last sitting presidents always seem to be on those lists.

Oh, and USA TODAY is a Gannett-owned biased piece of crap. I used to work for them. (cheapshot, but it felt good)

A student who lost their FA here due to non-attendance and general tomfoolery and incompetence, filled out a form to cancel their aid so they could "Unattend another school." Have at it, sweet cheeks. See you in a year, appeal in hand.

The dream I just woke up from..it was in a hospital and I was someone of importance.

Then this girl came with two round holes in her hand and a bit of sinew poking out. i was explaining that it looked like a fish had been tapping at the wound...when I looked down at my own hand and saw what looked like the baby turtle from finding nemo trying to sink into my skin..then it did and was visible under the surface. I grabbed a bottle of cleaner and tipped it over the bump and the turtle split the skin and came out..followed by a toadfish.

Woah!

My cow orker is so cute and funny. She's fairly new. I adore her.

We were talking this morning about students and parents, and she said that she's not saving money for her kids' college, she's saving for their therapy.

She has a sense of humor like mine.

The Mexican restaurant near my house has put up the following on their marquee:

We wish you the best of luck with your New Year's resolution... and we'll see you in about 3 weeks.

[DucksNuts]

hahaha thats awesome, Clod.

Oregon has a few political candidates with some weird ideas.
Allan Alley has run unsuccessfully for State Treasurer and Governor,
and is now the head of the State's Republican Party.

Oregon Republican chairman comes up with a new elephant logo

It seems like Oregon Republicans have tried just about everything
to restore their old political dominance in the state, so why not try a new logo?<snip>


This is 'Behle the Active Elephant' not the previous trunk and tail down symbol of the Oregon GOP.
Leo went on to explain that the new elephant is named for Alley's mother, Behle,
who was a Republican activist herself when Alley was growing up.

So far, the party doesn't seem to be moving full speed ahead to implement the new logo.<snip>
Maybe it isn't easy to get an old elephant to learn near tricks.

It almost looks like the Republicans are wanting to screw Oregon (again)

[ZenGum]

A new logo?! Brilliant! That's EXACTLY what the republican party needs. That wins my vote. These people are going places, I tell you.

Today's mild amusement is courtesy of Hopelessly Lost Freshers, inc.

On my way to a class, I saw a young woman, African origin (which here means probably a recent migrant/refugee from South Sudan), papers in hand, near the library, looking totaly lost.

Can I help you?

Um, yeah, I need to find ... um Janet ... something ... do you know her?

Sorry, no. Do you know the room number?

Err, yeah ... three two something.

Which building?

[Blank look]

Oh.

So I took her into the library and walked her to the enrollment support section. I hope they helped her.

[infinite monkey]

My freshman year roomie found the right room number, in the wrong building. She wondered why they would hold class in a utility closet.

A friend of mine has a job managing in a liquor store.

1st Choice Liquor

Cue easy joke.

[footfootfoot]

Candy a distant second...

Actually right next door would be a great place to open a candy store. I bet you'd get enough traffic coming in for the joke that you'd make a nice living.

[Undertoad]

That would assume people have widely read, understood, and remembered the olde Ogden Nash rhyme.

I thought it was part of our collective unconscious by now.
