Nun Fun!

44 Comments

On the way home from Fawn-Doe-Rosa last week, YA and I decided to take a detour to go to the Dairy Queen in Osceola.  While we were waiting to have our order handed to us, an SUV full of nuns turned into the parking lot.  They pulled to the other side of the building so we didn’t get to see if they all got out of the car, but it was a funny sight.

Of course nuns can go to Dairy Queen if they wish, you just don’t think of soft-serve as a religious habit. 

Have you seen anything that struck you as funny recently?

  2. The hummingbirds. You have never seen so much bickering. They use the trees near my deck as shelter and come visit my feeder right outside my window. When it’s cool like this, I can hear them. Their wings buzz and when I’m on the deck, the fearless little buggers will buzz my head. But their aggression with each other is remarkable. If one is angered by another, which happens a lot, it will SCREEEEE and SCREEEEEEEE and fly in a figure eight pattern, dive-bombing the other each time it comes around while screeeeeeeching. Such tiny furious aggression. Macro-aggression in miniature. They crack me up.

      1. Yes. I don’t buy the pre-packaged kind and I don’t use any food coloring. I use a 4:1 ratio. So, 4 cups water and 1 cup sugar, etc. I boil the sugar and water for 5 minutes to remove any bacteria and I have a few hummer feeders which I run through the dishwasher after each use.

        2. You’re wasting a lot of sugar, tim. The 4:1 ratio is what’s usually recommended. Also use white sugar only. Resist the temptation to “improve” you mixture with brown sugar, honey or artificial sweeteners. Honey will make it ferment quicker, so don’t add it.
          No artificial food coloring either. You can find lots of information on the internet.

  5. Just did my first coding! WordPress walked me through how to add some code to the site to fix the name [1] problem. Very scary but it seems to have worked. Apparently it’s a sitewide bug that they are dealing with.

    1. I laughed out loud last night at Ben’s comment about the #1 showing up on our name spaces : “We’re number 1”. It struck me as funny.

        1. Actually before I contacted WP, I did open today’s post, make a small change and save it. Same theory….

  6. The other day at soccer practice, our 5 year old grandson and his teammates were instructed to move the ball down the field with their tummies., meaning they should be down on the ground rolling around on the ball. Grandson picked up his soccer ball, put it under his shirt right against his tummy, and ran down the field to the goal. I thought that was really funny.

  7. When Humphrey gets the ‘zoomies’ he spins in circles. That always makes me laugh. Bailey waits a few seconds then she grabs at him as he goes by. They have fun playing.

    1. I had a co-worker with dogs that howled at the sirens… I always think of them on the first Wednesday. Now I’ll be able to think about N & V!

        1. Treat does seem to be a word that a lot of pets learn. At our house I can’t even spell out T R E A T in front of the dog.

        2. Wasband and I had a small dog, a Manchester terrier, probably the smartest dog we ever had. When we wanted to take Snoopy for a walk we’d say to each other “do you want to take d – o -g for w-a-l-k?” spelling out dog and walk, and Snoopy would be at the door, jumping up and down, ready to go. I suppose he recognized the cadence. He was on high alert all the time. Didn’t want to miss anything.

  10. Earlier today MPR was on my speaker for Science Friday. On the news break the announcer read, “today medical cannabis became legal for the conditions of OCD and Irritable Bowel Movements” It was supposed to be Irritable Bowel Syndrome.

    I laughed out loud.

  11. The past few days I have been getting a few laughs at the expense of a goldfinch making regular visits to my car. He goes back and forth between the passenger side window and side mirror, diving at his reflection over and over. He can’t decide which of the two reflections is more threatening. Not the brightest light in the harbor, but a handsome fellow.
