  • 21 Ways to Annoy Everyone - Time For a Chuckle  By : Veronica Carrillo
    Ever since there has been an outside (technically, there has always been an outside but it wasn't until there was an inside that mankind realized that there was an outside), mankind has wanted to measure the outside temperature using an outdoor thermometer. Most historians agree that the prime motivation for this was as an aid in the clothes-choice-decision-making-process. In order to remain completely objective and unbiased I must, however, mention that this theory is not universally accepted as there remains some dispute as to whether the invention of clothes preceded the invention of inside, however, let me not further digress from this discussion of the history of the outdoor thermometer.

  • It's Fun to Get Weird, Part Three - Bumper Sticker Maniac  By : Veronica Carrillo
    Recently, a very close friend of mine decided to make the ultimate contraceptive sacrifice for his marriage. That's right men. The big "V", a vasectomy. I, er, my friend, thought that it would be no big deal. Snip, snip, snip, you're done. Safe sex, at least in terms of a monogamous married couple. No one detailed the prolonged period of cold anxiety sweats that would have to be endured prior to the actual operation, or the weeks of pain during rehabilitation to the most personal, scary and misunderstood area of a man's body. By the way, in the interest of decency, I will set a sophisticated, yet clinical tone to this tale and refer to that area as "THAT AREA."

  • Kitchen Remodeling Activities Can Be Enjoyable Too  By : Carl Esonhouse
    Never try and fathom from beforehand what could be the average cost of remodeling a kitchen. The idea is almost similar to that of how many angels can dance on the head of a pin or who would care to look if a tree falls in a forest. The question is a philosophical conundrum. This is only because no two kitchen remodeling projects are alike and that involves the difference in the cost. The projects vary in size and manner and so it is difficult to draw an average cost for that. The better question to ask is How much will it cost to remodel my kitchen?

  • The bird  By : Robet Jay
    Living in the country we have come to expect seeing different species of animals. Deer occasionally grace our presence. Of course, once we are seen by them they quickly disappear. One day as I was looking out a back window there were 7 or so wild turkey. After flying away, they have not returned. Many different birds come to our three feeders. Sunflower seed is spread on the ground for the doves and squirrels. Cardinals and smaller birds also search for food on the ground but the smaller ones mostly enjoy the feeders with their perches. We started throwing it on the ground to keep squirrels from eating the plastic off our original bird feeders. Now we have "squirrel proof" feeders that do a good job of keeping them from the food contained within.

He lived another 10 years (to age 22), vet-free, except to the very last six months of his life.

    The transition to start a "green business" or "eco-friendly" one, as it is often called, is not always as easy as it seems. I felt it would be an easy challenge for me, seeing that I had launched one of Mississippi's first health food stores. There was no Internet, no Google, no blogging, nothing. I paid high rent in a mall across from the local university. The local townsfolk felt I might be possessed to believe that natural products might be better than what could be bought at A & P Grocery. (I am showing my age here).

    Funny is what funny does. But what is the real king of comedy? You might be surprised that more people view newspaper and Internet cartoons than all the funny movies, sitcoms, late night shows, and stand-up comedians if they were all lined up side-by-side.
  • For The Love Of Offbeat Cartoons And Cartoon Gifts  By : Alexa Ferotina
    Memories are nice. Especially thinking back to being a toddler, and, yes, I do remember, and watching Popeye on television. Nothing could take me away from Popeye.
  • Funny Cow Items: My Key To (semi) Sanity  By : Rick London
    As one who is into cow collectibles, clothes, and such, I humbly believe the cow to be the funniest (and possibly the most spiritual animal on the planet...and no, I have no Hindu roots). I just love the cow. Though this may be hard for some city-dwellers to fathom, I can assure you Mississippians and other inhabitants of the southeastern states were laughing at cows long before The Far Side was a twinkle in Gary Larson's eye.
  • Aardvarks, Dentists, And Cartoons  By : Rick London
    Cartoonist Rick London's website Londons Times Cartoons contains thousands of cartoon animal images, but none is more popular and funny than the aardvark. Aardvark Dentistry is the name of one of their most classic favorites and the cartoonist has decided to do a little research on the aardvark. This is the fascinating information he found. If you are looking for aardvarks, you need to go south of the Sahara Desert in Africa. "Earth Pig" is what the Africans call them, and, in fact, the name ardvark means "earth pig". So, makes sense to me. Their body somewhat resembles a pig which probably has a lot to do with that. But why they call them earth pigs, since regular pigs do not fly (to my knowledge) is beyond me. Their tails resemble a kangaroo's and ears like a rabbit. Aardvarks hibernate during daytime.
  • When Realtors Become Cartoonists  By : Rick London
    "Congratulations, Ms. London," I used to joke that the OB/GYN told my mom, "It's a Realtor". My parents owned a very old real estate stable family real estate company and were from a generation where, if and when an offspring arrived, especially a male, they were born to be bred.that is, bred into the family business, or made to be the prodigal son.
  • My Parents Wanted A Realtor So I Became A Cartoonist  By : Rick London
    It was July 16, 1954. I was just washed from exiting my mom's womb. "Congratulations, Ms. London," I used to joke that the OB/GYN told my mom, "It's a Realtor". My parents owned a very old real estate stable family real estate company and were from a generation where, if and when an offspring arrived, especially a male, they were born to be bred shaped and molded into that genetically-inherited business. I tried it a few years. It was disastrous.
  • Buying Or Selling Unique Products Online: Sound Advice  By : Rick London
    Every day the emails arrive. "Rick, you have too many stores!!", or "Rick, how in the world am I going to find what I want or need in all your shops?" etc. The general theme is "Why so many web stores?" I will do my best to answer.
  • One Cartoonist Emerges From Near-death To Help After 9/11  By : William Hendrix, Jr.
    The first time I met cartoonist Rick London, founder of Londons Times Cartoons, he was not yet a cartoonist, but a successful entrepreneur who had founded an interesting bus tour business in 1988. I was a freelance journalist then, and he was getting major media coverage worldwide so I stood in line for an interview. He was quite affable and down to earth.
  • Who Is The Most Popular Living Cartoonist? Three Guesses.  By : Alexa Ferotina
    Asking oneself who is the best at their profession is similar to asking which galaxy offers the most oxygen. One can only guess it is ours, but that could be our ego talking. The Internet offers analytical sites that measure certain websites, however. Unlike movie and tv stars, cartoonists are not a talkative or egotistical bunch, for the most part, so one has to research. I found some interesting information.
  • The Good Side Of The Far Side's Gary Larson  By : Rick London
    I can drone on and one regarding Gary Larson's Far Side. Just a few humorists who had a great impact on my life before I launched Londons Times Cartoons. Most were movie and television actors, and only two have been cartoonists. Larson was the major influence and continues to be. The others were comedians and actors such as Steve Martin, Mike Myers, Steven Wright, Red Skelton, Jack Benny, Billy Crystal, Dana Carvey, Peter Sellers, and and others of whom I cannot think of at the moment.
