If you didn't get enough funnies on Sunday, here are a few to amuse you this Monday.
Familiarity breeds hilarity. This guy's in love.
Splish, splash, she was taking a bath. Err, please don't eat this Daisy . . .
His mother wears combat boots. . .
Pot? Whose pot?
They hate me because I'm beautiful.
In an interview with Parade Magazine, supermodel Iman took it upon herself to size up Michelle Obama. She's "not a great beauty," said Iman, although she "is so interesting looking." But, hey, being gorgeous is no great shake. "When you're a great beauty, it's always downhill for you," Iman modestly demurred.
Oh, and being a top black supermodel? Is akin to slavery, she said, "for lack of a better term."
Alrighty then.
One man's pain is another man's gain. Weekend warriors are discovering that "doing it yourself" is fraught with danger. The woman pictured here installed a new toilet to replace her leaky one . . . all by herself.
Reports the New York Times,
"Initially, things looked good with the flushing and the swishing. That is, until the ceiling collapsed in the room below the new (leaky) toilet. Rushing to get supplies for a repair, Ms. Taddei clipped a pole in her garage. It ripped the bumper off her car, and later, several shelves holding flower pots and garden tools collapsed over her head."For doctors, however, there is a DIY upside.
“We are seeing an increase in minor injuries, sprains and contusions,” said Dr. Peter Lamelas, who operates four urgent care centers around Palm Beach County, Fla.
Cats and birds do too get along. They even massage each other.

is it okay that I find the bird and cat video VERY disturbing? Thanks for all the laughs and lessons. Must go call plumber and gutter man now! Will not allow cheap husband to do these things himself!
I'm boggling over that black supermodel thing. That must be why Tyra Banks looks so miserable all the time. Poor thing. :)
Thank yuo so much fpr that parrot / cat video. My kids love it and if I need them to shut up for a minute I just click it on.
That parrot kind of scares me with his intense stare, though.
Um, you should know that I typed that comment with the light off in our office. I don't normally spell 'you' and 'for' like that.
Funny and rather sad too... I'd say that all modelling is a kind of slavery, no matter what colour your are.
Love the little dude in the pink boxer shorts too!
The picture of the soldier in the pink boxers is just days old, posted by the NYT. He's from North Texas, fighting the Taliban in Afghanistan in "I Heart NYC" shorts.
When duty calls, duty calls, eh?
I think that bird wishes it were an owl. Who changes their own toilet? It's just asking for trouble.
LOL...I don't home plumb, don't have a garage, don't have a pool for cows to leather-dip in...dang, I'm boring ;)
Where can I get one of those birds???
The Iman thing--I bet slavery was just like that. Making millions of bucks, having people to fawn over your every move, your only job in life to look fantastic and mourn aging.
Oh, and to sling insults at people who are less beautiful, but "interesting looking."
The South always did claim that the slaves really were better off that way. Hmm...
Iman is SOOOO right! Being a black supermodel is just like slavery!!
I liked it better in the older times when models did not talk.
Also, I'm a sucker for animal videos. I think the cat was impressed by the size of those bird claws.
My word verif is: petto
Ha! I read that diy article in the NYT. What a nightmare. But really, she shoulda known better.
And thanks to Iman for raising my awareness about the plight of the black supermodel.
Ha! "Duty calls"! Ha ha HA!
I am twelve today.
"supermodel Iman took it upon herself to size up Michelle Obama"
Don't you just love it when women shred each other to pieces.
loved the one about the lawyer who blamed it on her client. Would never want her to defend me that is for sure
I'm so glad I chose sales over being a black supermodel...sounds like a crappy job the way Iman speaks of it.
Oh wait, I'm not black. Or supermodel gorgeous. Or thin.
Whatever.
"Mitigate. That's just a fancy word for Kill." ROFL! That was so funny. And the bird cat thing was just plain creepy.
Thanks for the laugh!
And where do you find this stuff??? I thought I visited weird corners of the net but you have me beat by far!
How awesome is that Help Save Traffic clip. I love it! That's exactly what I needed tonight. Thanks for sharing.
So the rich and beautiful Iman struck a nerve, did she? With me, too. Here's the full quote, linked in the post (don't miss the 2nd para.):
"You suddenly represent a whole race, and that race goes, 'Well, that person does not represent our ideals of beauty'? For lack of a better term, it becomes what it was like during slavery," she said.
"One had the field nigger and the house nigger. There was this notion that I was chosen by white fashion editors to be better than the rest, which I am not. I did not like being thought of as the house nigger."
She seems to suggest it was her own race that enslaved her. Though it's far from clear . . .
NOTE: Parade Magazine chose not to run this particular exchange in its piece last Sunday.
