Last Hump Day Post of 2013

Happy Hump Day

What was I thinking? I should have known I'd forget to do this post the week before Christmas. I'm always ridiculously behind this time of year.  But I won't leaving you to struggle over the mid-week hump without a few laughs to give you a boost, so here's goes...

This isn't the least bit Christmassy but it cracked me up. 

Look at those faces. Ever felt like that? Come on now, fess up.

While Christmas shopping I ran across some great t-shirts. Here are a few of my favorites.

For the English majors/writers among us:

and

 

Prefer Math class to English?

I like this one.

 

Oh, you're not worried about dragons. How about cats?

 

Here's one we can all agree on.

 

How about a visit to our friends the church ladies and their wonderful bloopers.

 

The eighth-graders will be presenting Shakespeare's Hamlet in the Church basement Friday at 7 PM. The congregation is invited to attend this tragedy.
 

This evening at 7 PM there will be a hymn sing in the park across from the Church. Bring a blanket and come prepared to sin.
 

Please place your donation in the envelope along with the deceased person you want remembered.
 

I guess you need a pretty envelope. 

This next picture is just so I add in something for Christmas.

 

 

Now for your "aw".

This one worked for me even without the words.

Did it work for you?

Okay, that's it. Hope we're all over the hump and heading for the weekend.

This will be my last post until after the holidays so I leave you with my warmest wishes for a

Very Merry Christmas

Happy Holidays

and a

Healthy and Prosperous New Year.

Quote for the Day: 

Let there be Peace on Earth and let it begin with me.

(Okay, it's a song lyric, but it works. See you next year.)

There's a Shirt For That

Happy Hump Day

There was a time when truth could be poured out in an endless stream of words.  Pages and pages spent exploring the human condition.  Or whatever.  Now words are limited.  Blogs, posts, tweets - each shorter than the last - carrying in a handful of words those critical messages.

Today we're going to look at one of those great vehicles of highly condenced truth:

THE T-SHIRT

Of course, this is a blog about writing, so I'm limiting our tour to t-shirt truths on the subject of writing.

We all know what it takes to get the job done.

Of course, sometimes you've battled back all your distractions only to find your muse has flown.

But you push on, getting your first draft completed.  Time to edit.  So you call in the...

Sometimes these guys get a little grumpy, especially if you make the same mistakes over and over.

Still, you can't let that slow you down.  Every writer knows...

And so you have. It's written, it's polished, it's published.  Time to remind the world...

So, as we end our t-shirt truth tour, let me just say ....

How about you?  Seen any good t-shirt truths lately?

And I can't deny you your Hump Day "Aw".

Happy Hump Day.

Groaner of the Day: Two men were in the process of inventing a new brand of gum. They were arguing over the fact that their new gum was too hard and brittle and didn't have the right consistency.

One of the inventors insisted they simply had to add more liquid to their primary secret ingredient, code named "Yewin".

The other argued adamantly. "No, No, No! It's not wetter Yewin that counts... it's how you ply the gum!"
