The Big Toe

As you may have noticed, I've taken a little hiatus from posting. I just didn't have any favorites the past two weeks.

Just kidding! I always have favorite, just kept 'em to myself. Anyway, a favorite worth promoting is the big toe. You never realize how important the big toe is until you sprain it and can't really do too much with it in that sprained, swollen, and bruised state. So there, today's favorite is the big toe, and here's hoping that yours remains healthy and happy as long as can be.

Mixtape

aka, the mp3 mix burned to cd. They're so fun to make! It's like choosing a soundtrack for a movie, except there's no movie, it's just life, so the songs are set to an unscripted series of events that might not always match the song in the way you anticipated. Want a mixtape? Let me know I'll make you one.

Twofer Tuesday #2

In case you forgot, Tuesday is the day when I share two amazing, clever, funny, witty, laugh so hard you can't stop, jokes.

[drumroll]

#1. What do you call a country where everyone drives a pink vehicle??


A pink car nation!!

ha ha ha.

#2. What happened to the guy who lost his left arm and left leg in the accident?

He's all right now.

ha ha ha ha ha.

The Mollusk

My sister tried to get me to like Ween for years. For some reason it took me a while to appreciate them. So this song isn't new at all. It's like ten years old. But I just found this weird lego video. And this song is just funny to me. I don't know. If you don't like it, just wait in anticipation for Twofer Tuesday, with TWO NEW JOKES!

Leap Year!

There's an extra day this year. That's why I haven't posted on the 27th and 28th..

The Easy Chair

Listen to "You ain't going nowhere" by Bob Dylan.

Vacations

Yay for vacations.

The Talk Box

Made famous by Peter Frampton (click the "click to hear the talk" button) and Sex with no Hands (the accordion-funk and retro-polka band).

(From Frampton's site: "WARNING: The only bad thing about the TalkBox is that it rattles your teeth around!")

Sez Common:

Slow motion better than no motion

Swim!

Pools are great, and so is swimming. Yaaay.

The Champagne of Punctuation

If you had to choose your favorite mark of punctuation, which would you choose? I of course love the exclamation mark(!), but it's not my favorite; instead the semicolon wins this contest. A dear childhood friend of mine says, and I quote from personal correspondence, "I see the semi-colon as special; it is, if you will, the Champagne of punctuation." Quite rightly. Two independent, yet related clauses, joined as one. Ahh.

Today's Haiku (.com)

One of my favorite joke sites (you can seriously spend hours on this site), offers Computer Haikus.

Here's my favorite:

A file that big?
It might be very useful.
But now it is gone.

I wrote this Haiku:

A favorite a day
Keeps all the doctors away.
Hey! Don't walk away!

But all of this boils down to the fact that it's about time to start a new Haiku Community - TodaysHaiku.com. It is a collaborative Haiku Collective -- please let me know if you'd like to join - simply email todaysfavorite [at] gmail.com! The basic premise is this: Today's Haiku offers the first two lines (a 12 syllable commitment), and all of our readers will write their own final line in the comments section. Check it out. Today is its debut.
