CFFC: Fun Fotos

Hello people! Cee’s put up a wonderful funny foto challenge this week, one that has dragged me out of my boring uninspiring world. Besides who can resist an opportunity to laugh or smile – well how about baring the teeth then?

At an outdoor event while the participants were readying, thise mom and child duo had a blast. It brought a huge smile to my face as they dashed about frolicking, jumping and generally freaking out without a care in the world. The little one was so quick on its feet that I could only manage a blur. The next one is a bit better.

That’s a Minion! No it’s Superman err Superdog Scoobie Dooby Doo 😀 Dont miss the Royal Ignore pose.

20171128_173848 What’s so funny you ask? Well how about you tell me the time?

20181031_085037 A scarecrow in the garden but the gophers aren’t impressed. After all they aren’t crows 😉

20181118_144240 As usual I left my favorite for the last. Take your time and read it carefully. Or at least until you find tomato sauce. And then turn the page

20181118_144301 And marvel at the meal that echoes but most of all salute the spirit and the determination to survive despite all odds.

Have a wonderful weekend and do share your favorite foto or menu 😀

A Roast

Words 100

Drip drip drip

He couldn’t breathe because of the all-pervading stench that seeped into his bones.

To make it worse, it was cold and dark.

He squirmed and shuddered as something brushed his leg.

He wouldn’t scream.

He just wouldn’t.

That would spoil his chances.

A crackle and grunt

He held his breath. Was that…?

The darkness vanished.

“What are you doing here?”

“Mom!” He protested, “I was about the catch the alien.”

“Don’t worry darling, they are waiting for you at the dining table.”

“Yay!” He jumped up. “What did you make? Baked or stew…?”

“Earthlings are best roasted.”

Just 4 Fun #88

So even if I did miss this post last week I believe we are still together 😛

Ergo – let us all go ego-less 😀

Too much gyan kya? Let’s see what I else I can find…

Did you do that? Not me – I was a very good girl!

Not me… at least not then. But have been in similar situations while going into the boss’ room 😀

Yes! I will admit to this – you?

Heheh

I have to confess, the cat is cuter! Moving on

Flexibility is key to survival.

Hmm I hope he didnt really die for then she would have had the last laugh – just kidding 😀

What’s your excuse? Mine is that it’s all those burgers and fries Mabel has been teasing me to drool about 😉

Seriously!

Extremely seriously!!!!

So how many you identify with Aunty Acid? Oh that reminds of a joke where this guy was moaning to his friend, “I dont think my wife is ever going to die. She has nothing but clothes, she wouldnt be caught dead in.”

That’s all folks – have a great week and as usual none of this stuff is mine, I aim to keep the laughter going 🙂

Now if only i could learn to be silent…but then again half my troubles would have been non-existent if i had spoken up in the first place. Darn it! To speak or not to speak is the question – any answers?

IMG-20180511-WA0004

I beg to differ I am neither old nor restless I just young and senseless. What about you? 😀

IMG-20180511-WA0005

Questions questions and no answers. Hmm well on second thoughts it could be a typo after all s and d are right next to each other on the keyboard 😛

IMG-20180511-WA0015 Finally somebody got it right!

Mother’s day has just come and gone and this was a lovely piece as were a couple of others

IMG-20180513-WA0016

But my personal favorite was this one

IMG-20180513-WA0038

IMG-20180509-WA0007

Well that’s an optimist speaking – if you speak to a pessimist, guess what he or she would say?

“Cheer up! The worst is yet to come” 😉

Moving on here are some wonderful definitions:-

IMG-20180219-WA0009

Which one is your favorite? Mine is the Nurse one 😀

IMG-20180407-WA0008

My question is why did he purchase one in the first place? Similarly I’m pretty sure he went after her in the first place… 😀

IMG-20180430-WA0034

Moral of the story: Be careful of what you ask for you may get it 😀

I wonder where these cards are available….

I recently received a forwarded message on Workplace rules for a happy life credited to WHO. Although I couldn’t find it on their page I thought the suggestions were pretty neat and worth sharing

1. Trust no one but respect everyone.

2. What happens in office, remains office. Never take office gossip home and vice versa.

3. Enter office on time, leave on time. Your desktop is not helping to improve your health.

4. Never make Relationships in the work place. It will always backfire.

5. Expect nothing. If somebody helps, feel thankful. If not, you will learn to know things on your own.

6. Never rush for a position. If you get promoted, congrats. If not, it doesn’t matter. You will always be remembered for your knowledge and politeness, not for your designation.

7. Never run behind office stuff. You have better things to do in life.

8. Avoid taking everything on your ego. Your salary matters. You are being paid. Use your assets to get happiness.

9. It doesn’t matter how people treat you. Be humble. You are not everyone’s cup of tea.

10. In the end nothing matters except family, friends, home, and Inner peace.

Actually, if you ask me, nothing matters except inner peace – so at the next Miss World/Universe contest let the winner be the one who wishes for inner peace instead of world peace 😀

To receive good luck and happiness always, just share your joy and inner peace

Happy Living and wish you all a wonderful week. Please note that none of this stuff is mine, I am just keeping the fun going 🙂

I am a bit late with my weekly fun post – been having too much on my own 😀

IMG-20180430-WA0001

A lovely message don’t you think? Let’s see what else I have for you this week but I have to confess my personal resources are dwindling. You think people are less into whatsapping than before? Or their quota is drying up? No way – actually most forwards these days are videos and I don’t even have time to see them all!

A reality I’m afraid and there was one very entertaining video about a guy whose phone battery dies and he initiates a conversation with a lady about her teen and turns out she is his wife and the boy his son 😉

WAblind But I can’t help wondering can they see the screen in such bright sunshine?

Heights of internet addiction…..

At a funeral in church:

A visitor: What’s the WiFi password here?

Priest: Respect the dead.

Visitor: All small letters?

IMG-20180417-WA0022

All batteries in the pocket 😀 Thankfully they didnt ask about the power cable 😉

IMG-20180417-WA0020

How many of you know what that brown thing is? Go on, dont be shy, raise your hands and type it out – bindaas 😀

A couple of more works of anti-gravity art works

Super cool eh?

Ending today’s belated offering with a couple of quick jokes.

I went to a restaurant. It was full; no place to sit…

I took out my mobile, placed it to my ear and said loudly – “Bhabhi come fast, he’s here with someone else…”

Sixteen couples ran away…

BBC organized (maybe BBC did or did not – just dont hang the messenger!) a contest where contestants were challenged to write something such that

Feelings of *suspense, curiosity, apprehension, peace, tranquility, anger, violence, anxiety, pleasantness and happiness* are expressed in one short sentence.

The winning entry:

*My wife is not talking*

Umm works just as well with the spouse reversed dont you think?

That’s all folks! Do let me know your favorite and thank you for visiting. And as usual none of this stuff is mine, I’m just keeping the fun going 🙂

Can she see through that? That reminds me, there was a news item of a break-in into a store by a man wearing a see-through plastic head cover. Needless to say the CCTV had no trouble capturing his fine features 😀

And therein lies the whole crux of the matter

Wedded

When two pieces of ~~rocks~~ misfit people are bound together in marriage, that’s how it is.

Why Why?

Pretty much the words to any real friend I ever had. & some family :)

Look forward to that day 😀 Have a great week and as usual none of the stuff is mine and all credit and kudos to the artists who created these.

The Song Within

The Song Within

Words 100

She was late. All because of the cook. And so inconsiderate of him to take the car.

The signal turned green and the surging crowd spilled on to the road.

It was just February and already so hot.

Oww her shoes hurt.

Not as much as her piercing barbed comments.

Cursing, she hurried ahead of the riff-raff.

A melodious voice rose above the traffic din. “aaaa~aaaa am the one of happy colors.”

The next winner of Voice India!

She slowed down.

A garish electric blue sweater wearing strange mismatched socks limped past her.

Wait.

Not socks but a prosthetic leg.
