18 Mar 2010 How To Find Me
Author: Gail |  Category: Humour, Wacky WWW, gailatlarge.com  | One Comment

Apparently, being creative helps!

I do fancy myself a bit of a DIY person:

Hmmm, there’s a Gail out there that’s giving the rest of us a bad name. Either that or it’s me.

Obviously a Google cry for help, but I contributed nothing towards a solution. I just told some stories about locking myself out of the apartment. (Albeit three times!)

I could’ve sworn I saved more keyword search screen shots than this over the past six weeks or so, but it was all I could find. One of these days I’ll post the latest round of nutty random text messages.

wedding cake with peanut butter

I arrived home after midnight from the wedding bearing cake. A huge piece of wedding cake with — get this — peanut butter! The top two layers were Ferrero Rocher (yum yum) and the bottom layer was flavoured with peanut butter, something I’ve never had before. Although I was full from dinner I made some room for cake. There’s always space for (more) dessert!

OOF, I’m beat. That was a wedding to remember — I was quite taken with the orthodox ceremony. I’ve downloaded all the photos and finished backing them up, and now I will sleep the sleep of the dead. I’ve got a “themed” dinner tomorrow, and all I want to do before then is vegetate.

Video for today: I’m on a Bill Cosby run. Here’s his comedy segment called “chocolate cake for breakfast”

I’m posting on the fly again, because I’m working to another deadline tonight and I want to get more than three hours of sleep (which is what I had last night, but at least I finished that job). I wanted to post this photo of the Vietnamese lady working at the salon because she sure looks happy for someone who works on people’s feet. Feet are pretty nasty, if you ask me. That’s the only time I’ve ever had a pedicure and it could be that my photo timing was good, but I can’t take that sort of credit — not this time. I’m told by the regulars that the ladies who work there smile and joke on a regular basis, and I hope they get tipped accordingly because laughter is the best kind of contagious there is.

The video for today isn’t music this time, it’s classic Bill Cosby… if you haven’t laughed yet today, this should get you started!

I have a Jewish mother-in-law, this video made me laugh…

(Some humour was in order — I couldn’t bear looking at the broken lens anymore!)

04 Mar 2009 The Mom Song

A mom friend emailed this to me as a WMV file, but I thought I could find it on YouTube and embed it instead of hosting it here. (Ah, blogging is so much easier than it was back in 2002!) She’s got some pipes, this lady!

Whether you’re a parent or a kid (and aren’t we all?), may this song — and lyrics — add some amusement to your Wednesday… or whatever day you read this.

It’s a busy Tuesday, so for now I’m sharing a bit of humour with the cat people out there (Helma, I think you’ll like this one!), sent to me from the staff of Mr. B.

20 Jan 2009 Out With The Old, In With The New

A couple of videos for today, the first one by French Canada’s Mitsou, probably unknown unless you are also a Canadian who grew up in the ’80s:

And secondly, The Corrigan Brothers offer up irrefutable evidence that there’s no one as Irish as the 44th President of the United States (JFK was the 35th):

Well, in any case, Obama will be adding some much-needed colour (green?) to the Big White House for at least the next four years. It’ll be interesting to see what kind of political satire emerges in the meantime.

The karaoke version is here if you want to know what the heck they’re singing.
