THE SUNDAY FUNNIES: NOVEMBER 29, 2009

Hello Everybody! Editor-In-Chief Lee Houston, Junior here.
Ms. Waxy Dragon has the holiday weekend off, but did leave one joke she wants me to share with everyone.

Q. Why did the turkey cross the road?
If you ask the question before Thanksgiving, the answer is: To escape being Thanksgiving dinner.
If you ask the question after Thanksgiving, the answer is: To celebrate not being Thanksgiving dinner.

Either way, I hope the turkey looks both ways before it tries to cross the street.

In any event, I do have two comedy news items to report on.

Robin Williams will have an HBO special scheduled to air December 6.
Even if he just sat on a stool and read old grocery lists it would be hilarious. So I'm sure this event will be a laugh riot, although being on HBO, the content might not be suitable for all viewers.
Check your local listings for specific time and channel.

But something that is age appropriate for everyone is taking the Internet by storm! The Muppets have released their own version of the Queen classic Bohemian Rhapsody that is a big hit on YouTube and other web sites right now.
Starting off with Gonzo and a chicken chorus before Animal takes a beautiful solo turn in the spotlight, the video features Rowlf the Dog on piano and Doctor Teeth and the Electric Mayhem along to rock the house. The video features over 40 Muppets during the course of the song.
Here's hoping that those zany characters decide to do more music videos.

And if you want to see the Muppets version of this tune, while I do not know the legalities of including the video with this post as some websites have done, I have included a link for you to see it directly on the YouTube site at: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tgbNymZ7vqY&feature=player_embedded

How's that for a holiday trifecta? Turkeys, Robin Williams, and Muppets!
Everyone take care and we'll be back next weekend with more Sunday Funnies!

THE PUZZLE CORNER: NOVEMBER 28, 2009

Okay Puzzle Fans. It might be a holiday weekend, but that doesn't mean we can't still have fun.

But before we begin, here's a math trick for you.
Everyone knows that one multiplied by any number equals that number (1 x # = #).
But have you ever wondered about the one itself?
1 x 11 = 11, 1 x 111 = 111; etc. But what if there were more ones on both sides?
11 x 11 = 121, 111 x 111 = 12321, 1111 x 1111 = 1234321; etc.
And if one side happens to have an extra 1 you get answers like 11 x 111 = 1221, 111 x 1111 = 123321, etc.
Try it for yourself and see!

Now then, here's an easy(?) TV Quiz for you!
Some shows have acronyms/initials in their names.
Your job is to say what the letters stand for, if you can.

01. Mister D. A.
02. Today's F.B.I.
03. C.S.I. (regardless of what city it's based in)
04. N.C.I.S. (whether the original or the Los Angeles spin off)
05. The Man From U.N.C.L.E.
06. A.E.S. Hudson Street
07. CHiPS
08. M*A*S*H
09. ALF
10. C.P.O. Sharkey

The show titles will be decoded next weekend. But for now, let's dive into THE ANSWERS BOX for the results of last weekend's Puzzle Corner.

TRIVIA TIME
While a day of giving Thanks was allegedly held by the Pilgrims upon the first anniversary of their arrival in the New World (America), the idea was first officially proposed by then President George Washington on October 3, 1789.
It wasn't until during the tenure of President Franklin Roosevelt that the date was finalized as the Thursday of the last full week of November.

THE LETTER SHUFFLE
So how many words could you make out of THANKSGIVING?
With some extra letters available to you (A, G, G, H, I, I, K, N, N, S, T, V) the following are possible: A, Ah, An, Ant(s), As, At, Gag(s), Gang(s), Gas, Gain(s), Giant(s), Gig(s), Giving, Hat(s), Having, Hi, High(s), Hiking, I, In, Ink(s), Inn(s), Is, It, Its (there is no apostrophe for It's), Kin, King(s), Kit(s), Knit(s), Nag(s), Nit(s), Sag, Saint, Saving, Shin, Sin, Sink, Sinking, Ski, Skin, Skit, Snit, Stain, Tag(s), Tank(s), Thank(s), Thin, This, Tin, Van(s), AND Visit.

BLACK FRIDAY 2009

As I post this, it is still about ninety minutes from midnight, and a few additional hours away from the start of the 2009 holiday shopping season as a lot of stores and (hopefully) consumers gear up for Black Friday.
In this case, the term is not politically incorrect but, depending upon which theory you believe, refers to either the retailers' hope that their profit margins go from the redness of debt to the blackness of profit; or the more modern theory that the name is derived from the fact that a lot of stores will be open long before sunrise Friday morning!
The average opening time for this event seems to be 4 a.m., with most open by six, although one retailer started advertising late Tuesday night that they would be opening at THREE A.M. when previous ads simply stated "Opening early Friday morning."
Now whether or not this annual sales gimmick works remains to be seen. Pundits theorize that a lot of the consumer base that is planning to shop this holiday season will be going for more basic staples of life instead of the more extravagant/high priced items of the past.
And weather will certainly be a factor in the northern climates, which might keep all but the most ambitious from shopping.

As for me, the only place I intend to be in the wee hours of Black Friday morning is sound asleep in my bed!

THANKSGIVING 2009

HAPPY THANKSGIVING EVERYBODY!

Over the years, the thoughts of preparing big fancy feasts, football games, and getting ready for the start of the Christmas shopping season have become part of today.
But let us not forget the TRUE purpose behind this holiday.
It is for taking the time to be grateful for what you have.
A chance to reflect upon and appreciate family and friends.
The opportunity to do something all of us should be doing EVERY day: appreciating life itself!
So regardless of whatever other activities you might participate in today, please don't forget to be thankful.

THE SUNDAY FUNNIES: NOVEMBER 22, 2009

Hello Everybody! Ms. Waxy Dragon here!

After all the funny dog pictures last weekend, I went looking for some funny cat pictures and found a really great web site called "I Can Has Cheezburger?" at www.icanhascheezburger.com

They have a whole lot of funny cat photos and jokes that I really enjoyed.

There is also a funny dog website called "I Has A Hot Dog" at www.ihasahotdog.com

Meanwhile, here is another funny dog photo from reader Ann Lopez. I wrote the joke with it.







"And to think, this is the runt of the litter!"
If you have any funny jokes or photos you would like to share, just send them to me in care of my editor at FreeChoiceEzine@gmail.com and we'll be back next weekend with more Sunday Funnies.-wd.

THE WEEK IN REVIEW: NOVEMBER 15-21, 2009

*We begin this review as we did a previous one, apologizing for the delay in posting. Although this time it is so we can announce that the Senate has approved their version of a Health Care Reform Act. Sometime after the Thanksgiving holiday, Congress will convene to unify the Senate and House of Representatives bills into one measure to present to President Obama for consideration.
*One possible aspect of the Health Care Reform Act that is sure to get some attention is a new proposal that elective cosmetic surgery (liposuction, nips and tucks, etc.) should be taxed.
*Meanwhile, the President is still overseas concluding his current foreign relations tour.
*U.S. District judge Stanwood Duval has ruled that because of their negligence in maintaining the levees, residents of New Orleans (especially of the Saint Bernard Parish and the Lower Ninth Ward) have the right to sue the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers for damages resulting from Hurricane Katrina.
*Due to budget cuts, postal workers are no longer forwarding letters to Santa Claus that have found their way to North Pole, Alaska instead of the actual North Pole.
*Although the service was so bad that they had to get their own silverware and napkins, patrons Pope and John Wagner were arrested by police at a Bethlehem, Pennsylvania restaurant for not paying the MANDATORY 16% gratuity! Although given the circumstances, their lawyer thinks the charges will be dismissed when the case is presented before a judge, remind me NEVER to eat in Pennsylvania!
*Did you know that Florida, Utah, Maine, Vermont, Colorado, and Hawaii all have legal restrictions against drying your clothes outside? And many home owner associations in other states are lobbying their lawmakers to pass similar measures? If they don't like the idea, get them to pay the electric bill for the dryers!
*Due to the heavy rains earlier this year, there may be a pumpkin shortage trying to prepare Thanksgiving dinner next week.
IN ENTERTAINMENT NEWS...
*Oprah Winfrey has announced that the end of the current (25th) season will also conclude her long running day time talk show.
*And People magazine has named actor Johnny Depp 2009's Sexiest Man Alive.

THE PUZZLE CORNER: NOVEMBER 21, 2009

Ah, it's the weekend.
And you know what that means.

TRIVIA TIME
With Thanksgiving coming up next Thursday, you're question is: who first proposed the idea of Thanksgiving in America?

THE LETTER SHUFFLE
A relatively simple one for those with a lot to do in the coming days. How many words can you make out of the letters in THANKSGIVING?

We'll find out next weekend, but for now, let's peek into THE ANSWER BOX for the results of November 14th's Puzzle Corner.

TRIVIA TIME
A staple of radio station WSM since its first broadcast on October 5, 1925; The Grand Ole Opry's name was first conceived by announcer George Hay on December 10, 1927 commenting that the country music program was following a presentation of the Grand Old Opera. Before that the show was known as the WSM Barn Dance.

COMMON BONDS
That diverse grouping were all musical guests during the two years (1969-1971) Johnny Cash had his own TV show on ABC.

WTF: HEALTH CARE REFORM

An editorial.

I originally intended to post this article strictly in regards to the latest anti-health care reform propaganda.
On that note, there are now new commercials from organizations with the web addresses rethinkreform.com and employersforahealthyeconomy.org (and with the first word in that e-address, it makes you wonder whose side they are on to begin with), stirring the anti-health care hornets nest; as if the ones allegedly sponsored by the U.S. Chamber of Commerce were not enough. Some of these even target specific Congress members who voted "yes" on Health Care initial reform proposal, urging their constituents to convince these people that they were wrong to vote the way they did.
I wanted to take the opportunity to once again remind everyone that although both the House of Representatives and the Senate have passed a Health Care Reform Act, the two versions must be merged into one cohesive edition to present before President Obama for consideration.

But what brings this post even more urgency is the latest news from a "study" that claims that women now only need a breast cancer screening every other year.
Breast cancer is a serious concern amongst the female population of this planet to even think such a thing.
Isn't an ounce of prevention supposed to be worth a pound of cure?
Wouldn't it make more sense to have a yearly exam than the costs physically, financially, and emotionally of actually fighting the disease?

People: pardon my blunt language, but all the bullshit has to stop!
Think of all the money that is being spend by whoever is trying to at least alter, if not outright prevent, something that potentially will benefit you.
Money that could be put to aid achieving the very objective they are trying to affect.
Now of course, I am not certain who all the "they" involved are, but when you stop and think about it, which would you rather have: the money used to improve a program or the same system you already have?

You are more than welcome to investigate all the information pro and con for yourself.
In fact, I urge everyone reading this to do so and make your own (hopefully informed) opinion.
There are several websites across the Internet where you can gather information and see what is going on for yourself.
And if you want a neutral website for information, I strongly recommend www.snopes.com

THE SUNDAY FUNNIES: NOVEMBER 15, 2009

Hello Everybody! Ms. Waxy Dragon here!
This week, I want to talk about a subject near and dear to my heart: the Warner Brothers staple (or should that be stable?) of animated characters known as the Looney Tunes, although a lot of the original shorts were also released under the Merrie Melodies banner.

There is much that could be said about these beloved characters. From the early days of the 1930s when in black and white such stars as Bosko, Foxy, and Buddy lead the way before Porky Pig became the first of the group we are more familiar with today, debuting in 1935's I Haven't Got A Hat. But while Porky hasn't been used as frequently as some of the more popular mainstays in recent years, you can always count on him to bring home the bacon when needed.

Sadly, out of all the eligible contenders from each year of active production, only five ever received the Oscar for Best Short Subject: Tweetie-Pie (1947), For Scent-imental Reasons (1949), Speedy Gonzales (1955), Birds Anonymous (1957), and Knighty Knight Bugs (1958).
Meanwhile four others have since gone on to become part of the National Film Registry's preservation program: What's Opera, Doc (1957); Duck Amuck (1953), Porky in Wackland (1938), and One Froggy Evening (1955).

From Bugs Bunny's classic "What's Up, Doc?" to Pepe Le Pew always chasing Le Femme Skunk Fatale, you can always count on these characters for laughs as surely as Sylvester will never succeed in his quest for a Tweety sandwich.

And I'll be back next weekend with more Sunday Funnies.-wd.

THE SUNDAY FUNNIES: NOVEMBER 8, 2009

Hello Everybody! Ms. Waxy Dragon here!
Now to say that dogs can be humorous is an understatement. Snoopy, Marmaduke, Odie (from Garfield), Buckles, etc.; have well proven that beyond a shadow of a doubt.
So to celebrate our canine friends, I have decided to post some images of dogs at their funniest, along with some humorous captions I have composed for the occasion.


"Now if I can get a word in edgewise here..."





















"The way you drive, why do you think I'm wearing the goggles?"










"Shaken, not stirred." OR, for those suffering from the morning after, "Some hair of the dog that bit ya'!"













"I'm ready for my close up Mister DeMille." OR
"Are you sure you know how to work that camera?"





If you have a humorous image you want to share, just send it to our Editor In Chief Lee Houston, Junior at leehoustonjr@gmail.com

Meanwhile, the first image came to me unsigned and the others are from reader Ann Lopez.

And I'll see you next weekend with more Sunday Funnies.
Have a great week everybody!-wd.

THE SUNDAY FUNNIES: NOVEMBER 1, 2009

Hello Everybody! Ms. Waxy Dragon here!
Boy, I had a great time Trick or Treating last night. I got a lot of candy and if I'm extremely lucky, I might be able to make it stretch and last until breakfast tomorrow morning!
Now of course I did pretty good for a baby dragon (unless you believe that hogwash that I'm really just one amongst many avatars of an avid Internet user). I threw a grey blanket over me and flew around everywhere as a blimp.
Of course I'm not that huge. Or at least I won't be after all this Halloween candy digests.
But I think there have been enough jokes about that poor "balloon boy".
Anyway, although today is technically November 1st, let's see if I can scare up some Halloween jokes for you.

Who is the most famous person in Ireland on Halloween?
Jack O'Lantern.

What kind of a dog does Dracula have?
A bloodhound.

What musical instrument do skeletons play?
The trom-bone.

What is a Mummy's favorite musical genre?
Rap.

What do baby ghosts wear on their little feet?
Boo-ties.

And as a special treat to all our loyal Free Choice e-zine readers out there, would you believe that this installment of the Sunday Funnies marks the 250th! post since we switched to www.Blogger.com as our web host?

Well, that's it for this weekend everyone. I think I'm going to call my local Witch Doctor and see what he recommends for a tummy ache.
See you next weekend with more Sunday Funnies!-wd.
