You know how this works. We write LOL, but we barely ever really mean it... but Jack Handey is one of the guys who i know have made people LOL best and for real... so take a look at these offerings and see if any of them do it for you: 'It takes a big man to cry, but it takes a bigger man to laugh at that man.' [Jack Handey] 'I guess of all [...]
i posted this a few years ago when i had a Weekly Mash blog going on, but thought it was worthy of a place on Irresistibly Fish as it is one picture that never fails to make me smile a lot and usually laugh out loud [which is unusual for me - normally an inside laugher] i hope it might have that effect on some of you. you know as a child, many well-meaning adults [...]
If i were to ask you what the best job in the whole world was, i doubt if anyone would respond, "Working with Lego" simply because, how is that a job? But if i were to tell you that for the last two months i have lived with someone whose job is working with Lego, your response is very much likely to be, 'Wow, that's the best job in the world!' So Aaron and Sarah [...]
you probably have to be a regular reader of Pearls [before Swine] and an appreciator of the croc and 'Zeeba' dynamic to appreciate this one... but if you are then you will dig it - snuck into my inbox while i was in South Africa...

So subscribers of Irresistibly Fish [this blog] may or may not know that i started another blog three weeks ago called 'The Weekly Mash [and peace!]' which has a regular focus - so each day each week will have the same focus with Monday being something fun, Tuesday being a news-related post, Wednesday having something to do with relationships, Thursday having a God-focused, Jesus-following aspect and then Friday being 'My Day' where i can blog [...]
if you haven't heard the news by now, Ellen DeGeneres has finally got her wish [after hints of a varying degree of subtlety and not-so-much for years on her show] and Pixar will be making a sequel to the 2003 animated hit 'Finding Nemo' in which of course Ellen voiced the character of Dory, this quirky and likeable but amnesiac blue regal tang fish called Dory. the sequel is going to be called 'Finding Dory' [...]
oh, what a classic, definitely one of the best Pearls Before Swine strips yet - on International Liars Day, Stephan Pastis comes up with an absolute goodie... [For another great Pearls before Swine strip involving flying encyclopaedias, click here]
yes, yes, you know it - favourite cartoon strip blah blah blah Pearls before Swine... this one being incredible both for the humour but more importantly for the invention of the word "winnery" [join my PBS campaign - for years now i have been subtly trying to encourage Stephan Pastis, creator of Pearls Before Swine to add a new character - that of a yellow and white stuffed dolphin called No_bob [because he doesn't bob] [...]
