Sunday funnies











Via the Bookworm Beat.


Ah, fun at the beach! So many things to do: swim, surf, play volleyball, update your bullfighting skills...


Speaking of volleyball... (H.T: ditto)


That ain't how it's supposed to go, is it? (H/T: David Thompson).


A classic scene from the film, Arsenic and Old Lace.




From Powerline's "The Week in Pictures".

Paco, (or anyone, really) I need your help.

In today's TWIP, there was one with a picture of a beaver (labeled 'Angry beaver noises'), and the caption "Canadians when they see miles per hour instead of syrup per moose".

I'm just a unsophisticated farm boy, and don't understand Canadian humor. If anyone can interpret, I would appreciate it.

I image-searched 'miles per hour instead of' and it's part of a series of memes which start with that. None of them were funny. In my head I made that noise Tim the Toolman makes, 'eeeeeuh?'

Things like 'Australians have spiders per kangaroo'.

R-man: I didn't even notice that one; it's a mystery to me.

... angry beaver noises ....

Canuckistan uses the metric system, and a lot of their citizens complain about our lack of sophistication. This is a riff on that.

Arsenic and Old Lace - what a movie. What a damned DARK movie.
Released in 1944 but made in 1942, at the height of WW2.
I wonder how much its popularity had to do with the mood of the times? It's hard to imagine it being made anytime during the 50s and 60s.

JeffS, so "syrup per moose" is a Canadian colloquialism used in place of kilometers per hour? Interesting. I don't remember Bob & Doug McKenzie discussing that, and they're the source of most of my understanding of Canadians.

I don’t that metric was ever used on any Great Whit North episode, r-man, but I’m sure that was the inspiration.
