Oh damn! As soon as I saw this, I knew that this was the golden comedy fleece from which the fabled Sweaters of Hilarity are knitted.
Is this inspiration enough for a joke off? THE ANSWER IS YES!
If you want to play along at home, write a joke and post it or submit it to me. I’ll reblog the best!
•I’ll take ‘Worst Ways to Find Out Your Parents Don’t Love Each Other Anymore’ for $600, Alex.
•Divorce Magazine has a strict no suicide/binge drinking/custody kidnapping editorial policy because those kind of stories just bring you down, man.
•Rejected Divorce Magazine article submissions:
So, your hubby’s making time with the Cootie Queen?
Spousal surveillance: a beginners guide.
Are you a stalker? Take our quiz and find out!
Divorce: Still shitty after all these years.
•Divorce Magazine can go fuck itself along with Dick Cheney.
•Music Legend Dan Hill Talks Relationships…THAT END IN DIVORCE.
•Ahh, memories…of my parents getting divorced. Also, therapy. Lots of therapy.

My chance to hop on the annoying Jesus bandwagon…
mary: OK, now really look this time. Do you see anything in my eye?
jesus: Hey Mary?
mary: Do you see anything?
jesus: Hey Mary?
mary: What?
jesus: Knock, knock
mary: Seriously? My eye really hurts, Jesus! Could you just do what I ask for once?
jesus: No, it’s cool, you’ll like this one. Knock knock.
mary: Ugh. Who is it?
jesus: *laughing* Jesus. It’s Jesus.
mary: Jesus who?
jesus: Jesus Christ would you shut the damn door already! HAHAHAHAHA.
mary: You’re an asshole.

The Naked Redhead did a very funny Awkward Moments post the other day. I liked it so much, I decided to steal her idea and make it my own. How’s that saying go? Stealing is sincerely flattering? Good artists steal, great artists steal more? Stealing is the soul of wit? I don’t know, whatever. Sorry I’m not very good at “history” or whatever, you guys.
According to your heart x-ray, Mr. Evans, it looks like you have four...oops, sorry, three minutes to live.
1 little piggy, 2 little piggies, 4 little piggies, 6...7...DARREN!
I don't care what he says, there's no puppies in concrete.
In retrospect, the Gunther Grass "The Tin Drum" commemorative statuette seemed like a bad choice.
NOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!
What do you mean you're "super-duper gay?"

let's just pretend this is from a Joke Off segment from SNL's "Weekend Update"
I posted this on mah tumblr last night, but I’m having second thoughts about keeping it there. I want that page to be different than this one…more visual, darker, dreamier. I feel like the jokes have found a home here (in a wayward-home-for-lost-ideas sort of way) but words beyond poetry or lyrics seem alien over there. I’m ok with that. Maybe I’ll start a Molls-style tumblr at some point, but keeping it special and dark today feels right. Until I get it figured it out, sorry for the cross posting.
Anyway… Some of you may recall the recurring joke-off segment from the Tina Fey/Jimmy Fallon-era of Saturday Night Live‘s “Weekend Update.” The premise was that the two would battle each other for who could tell the most jokes (not the funniest) on a topic in a certain time period. I’m sure they wrote them ahead of time, but to me, it seemed like what it might be like to watch them pitching in a writer’s meeting.
I would love to make this a regular Blog, Sweet Blog segment, but, as I can’t recall any recurring segments on this blog, we’ll see how that goes. The idea is that I’ll try to think up around five jokes in a short time (~15 minutes), then post them for your “entertainment.” Feel free to chime in with your own jokes for this or any other topic. Ugh, now that I’ve used the world’s longest, most unfunny setup to strangle the life out of this bit…
So, I’m in the middle of cleaning the house and I just got done with the main bathroom. It was so skeevy, it felt like the perfect topic for a joke-off, naturally.
My bathroom was so dirty…
-I seriously considered getting hooked on crystal meth to get the energy to finish cleaning.
-while I was cleaning, the executive producers of Hoarders called to pitch me a new show called Dirty, Dirty Slobs….because they wanted me to host…from my filthy bathroom…because it was so gross.
-the people that live in my head wouldn’t even go in there.
-a xxx fetish website emailed me a job offer. I had to tell them it wasn’t that kind of dirty.
-it made my mother cry.
-just writing this makes me want a to take a Silkwood shower.

Look there! A visual metaphor for my hopes and dreams!
I got my first “professional” writing rejection today.
I sent this to the McSweeney’s Lists site last week and received a very nice rejection email from the editor a few minutes ago. I wrote it specifically for the site and I thought it was pretty good…not good enough, apparently. I would have liked to know why they didn’t use it, but I’m sure editors never do that and the reason is probably “not funny” or “needs punctuation.” It was my second submission, but I thought the first one was even less funny than this. Oh well. I’ll keep trying.
So, since this piece has been officially released from the burden of McSweeney’s publication, I offer you…
A survey of alcoholic beverage bottle label motifs which portend certain dire, vomitous consequences for the hapless consumer should she or he choose to ingest intoxicating quantities of said beverage.
The angry sea captain
A werewolf, mummy, or other creature of the night
Two or more dogs, copulating
A clown, mime, or any member of The Insane Clown Posse
Senator Joseph Lieberman
Any currently-serving Supreme Court Justice
A road map
Any farming implement
A winking elf or gnome
A winking monkey, sloth, or porpoise
Anything winking, really
Jesus
*ed. ok, I guess this isn’t that funny, but I was really happy with it when I emailed it off. I think I can do better, but trying to write jokes or purposely funny stuff is a lot harder than I thought it would be.
