Ironic things go here.

There is a topic for happy things and for grumpy things but what about those things that are neither happy nor grumpy or things that are both happy and grumpy at the same time?
A peasant between two lawyers is like a fish between two cats.

Like the weirdest flat tire story ever?

Last week we left on Wednesday for Dallas to do a con for my husband's job.  We drove, so Wednesday morning we drove over to Mansfield to pick up the rental car.  When we'd filled out all the paperwork, J.T. was going to drive the car and I was going to drive our van back home.  Except the van had a flat tire.  Fortunately this particular office of Avis was located inside....

Sears Auto Center.  Yes, we got a flat tire in the parking lot of Sears Auto Center.

So there was this guy -- Mr. Play-it-safe, we'll call him.  He was terrified of flying.  Finally, one day, he took a flight, and then the plane crashed.  When you think about it, it's not unlike rain on your wedding day.

Whew, thanks for getting that one out of the way, HoM.  Unless you're mocking my contribution (which I've been wanting to share since last week), in which case I will either devour your soul, or be very hurt and sad to make you feel sorry for me, whichever will cause you the most pain.

where is the punctuation in that song, anyway?

Who would have thought it figures?
or
Who would have thought? It figures.

I reckon most people do, but I wanted to point out that it isn't specific in the aural presentation, and the meaning is very different

Well, yes. Like that "Freak of the Week" song where it says, "Will you hold onto my hand if I ever lose it again?"

i love fun with punctuation.  I like to sing a long to songs in the car and just say the words rather than sing them.  It is funny to me atleast.  

"and (by the way), I am hungry like the wolf"
everything was going fine, until i critically failed my intelligence check!

My sister and I would just randomly change words to songs together.  The one I remember most is singing "When I seeee yoooou smile, I can taste the world. (Whoa-wo)"

Do it with a loung singer voice, that's even better. Esp with that brand of 80s music.

You mean like,
"Did you ever know that I'm your hero? I'm everything you want to be. And you can fly higher than an eagle cuz I am the wind beneath your wings."
