Continuing with my ethnic humor, I’ve included the video above thanks to my friend “Twitch” for tweeting about this and bringing it to my attention. Twitteleh is Twitter for your Jewish mother. However, I think this could apply for nearly everyone’s mother. No offense Mom – I love talking to you and you never seem to obsess about whether I’m wearing a sweater (or not).
While I don’t know Mike & Afrouz personally, I do have a friend attending their wedding. Check out this very funny wedding save the date for their big day later this year. I love the way they poke fun at Persian stereotypes as well as those annoying dating commercials which seem to be everywhere these days. Enjoy and please share with your friends.
In honor of the Super Bowl, which took place yesterday, here is a classic skit from the 80s show, In Living Color.
Thanks to Bill in Exile for sharing this video clip. It is a bit dated but remains funny for sure.

Check out Pete Bouchard’s weather forecast. Pete is the meterologist on Boston’s NBC local news program. I love how his eyes dart to the side after he says deviously, “almost as big as me”.
Work is getting a little out of control as deadlines are hitting faster than a Lindsay Lohan / Paris Hilton smack down. I do find some solace in the fact that my entire team is completely stretched so I don’t feel as if this is either just my imagination or I’m the only one struggling here.
I suppose it must be that time of the year.There is a lot that needs to get done and with the holidays sadly a thing of the past, life goes back to business as usual. Fortunately, I lack hobbies, dislike most of what television is offering these days, and I do enjoy my work. However, I can’t help but feel as if my desire to move forward has left me feeling a kinship with the saying in the photograph above… Am I alone here or is anyone else feeling the same way these days?
The next time you are filling out a form – if you have no intention of providing your real contact information think about the poor schmuck who has to go through the rolls of data and see if you can make that person smile by getting creative with your response.
One year after the collapse of Lehman Brothers Matthew Rose wrote on WSJ.com an updated version of The Devil’s Dictionary. He correctly points out that as the financial crisis morphed into a 24/7 frenzy for media, new words started to enter into American’s every day conversations. While the article is too long for me to share in total, here are some of my favorite new words or meanings.
BAILOUT, n. First known use: Noah. Novel regressive taxation scheme whereby vast sums of capital are transferred from those citizens who didn’t participate in the illusory Bacchanalia of the housing bubble to those who did and weren’t clever enough to get out in time.
DEFICIT, n. For the party in power, at worst a minor irritant and at best a precondition for economic growth. For the minority, the gravest threat to the stability of the Republic.
STIMULUS, n. An indeterminate sum of taxpayer money used to generate violent debate. Previously known as “government spending.”
TARP, n. acronym. 1. A synthetic device designed to cover up an unsightly mess, or to protect perishable goods (firewood, banks) from the ravages of the elements, typically costing somewhere between $12.99 and $700 billion. 2. Prime example of how governments use otherwise anodyne acronyms, abbreviations and sports metaphors to disguise matters of controversy. See also TALF, TLGP, TURF, FHFA, BACKSTOP, WRAP, OFHEO and SPECTRE.
Last week I included a vlog about dating etiquette because the person so succinctly (and with humor I might add) described his personal frustrations with dating. At one point in the commentary he references a bad date and so I’ve inserted the “bad date” here for any to watch. I would however, recommend that if you have not seen the first clip to scroll down 3 entries or link here to watch it.
A very good friend of mine is giving love another try… what I mean by this is that she has decided to be more proactive and attempt to find true love over the next 365 days. To maintain her focus, provide an insight into what it is like to be a single woman living in Boston and to record and share her stories (humorous and otherwise) she has created a blog called My Quest to Find a Husband. The blog boldly states “I have made pact with myself to do everything I can, within reason of course, to find a husband within the next year!”
Thus far there has been no dating drama shared – I suppose she needs to go on a date for that to happen. However, her first few entries showcase her wit and self-deprecating nature assuring the blog will be an easy read for anyone who visits the site. So far she has written about an evening out with girlfriends at a restaurant she favors (check out the embarrassing wardrobe malfunction of sorts that happened to her), pseudo-stalking at the gym, and online dating frustration (which knowing my friend seemed very restrained) we’ll see how long that lasts.
Check out the blog – www.husbandquest.blogspot.com. I’ll have to be sure to share with my friend the vlog that I posted late last night about dating etiquette (immediately below this entry).
I stumbled across this video from WGB. What an absolute riot. This 8+ minute vlog about dating etiquette is worth the watch. If you’re single and frustrated with dating or just curious, check it out. I thought it was funny, but then again it is 3:00am so maybe I’m just getting punchy. However, I’m fairly certain that come tomorrow, I’ll still find this pretty funny.
Are you overburdened with personal commitments and saddled with needy friends who require more time than you have to offer?
Now you can outsource these friendships to India. Fortunately Prakash is more than willing to fulfill the role as BFF. Feel free to dial 401-285-0701 and forward this to your needy and much neglected friends.
I’ve been laughing about this video since it was first shared with me earlier this year. I’m not sure why I did not post it previously (I thought I had). It is very cute and worth the watch.
I love the English accents and the lack of remorse Charlie shows after he bites his older brother.
I’m not exactly sure what is taken into account by Stockholm Pride as they ‘rank’ one’s Twitter account, but I thought it was funny all the same.
Thanks to OMG for the tip.
bosguy is 1% HeteroFound words such as: brunch, clueless, cocktails, drinks, gym, and southendWhen the Pro Caulk informercial first came on the television this afternoon, I could not stop laughing. I think this is the funniest thing I’ve heard in a long time. At one point the voice over actually shouts, “With Pro Caulk you can do it like a professional!”
