Our new CEO is coming today who comes from South Africa. I am excited.

 

 

[Carol the Dabbler]

Let us know how that goes! 

[Arcadia]

I'm still trying to figure out which part of that picture made VBS laugh....

[Fantasy Lover]

Perhaps nikers, it rhymes with knickers, which is British English for female underwear.

[Pseudonym]

The stupidity, or naivety if we're feeling kind, of the person who genuinely thought it was Spunow?

[Van Buren Supernova]

The naivety.. of course the naivety :p

 

And.. found the source, not sure if it helps with your sleuthing, but there could be a thing or two that make you smile.

 

26 Pictures That Are So Damn Dumb But So Damn Funny

[Carol the Dabbler]

 

 

Some of those I don't get.  Some are funny.  Some aren't the least bit funny -- but they ARE hilarious.  Odd.

[Doe]

Let us know how that goes! 

 

It was very hard. Both CEO and to understand English.

 

I learned to write little bit but I didn't talk anything. I was stutering.

 

Ceo appreciated my report.

[Van Buren Supernova]

 

 

 

Some of those I don't get.  

Fiu... I thought I was the only one and blame it on language barrier.

[Pseudonym]

Oh God, it's that toilet one that really gets me. I've seen it before but had forgotten about it.  :lol2:

[Carol the Dabbler]

I don't get 1, 2, 12, 15, or 18.

 

Does anybody else find themselves trying to figure out where each of those yard sales is?  (First one is western New York State, I betcha.)

[Pseudonym]

The only one I don't get is 1, is it the beginning of a famous film? Sounds a bit like Forest Gump. I get the others you mentioned but they just aren't funny.

[Carol the Dabbler]

Guess I'm not missing much, then.  :P

[Mateos]

Number 1 is "Shrek", you must have watched it.

In 2 "Blink-182" is the name of a music band, you don't miss anything if you don't know it. It used to be famous (or it still is) among teenagers. 

[Carol the Dabbler]

Nope, never saw Shrek, just the ads. Still don't get it, but that's OK.

 

As for the band one, guess you just had to be there, huh?

[Mateos]

Nope, never saw Shrek, just the ads. Still don't get it, but that's OK.

Ahh, Shrek is extremely popular in Poland, each year it appears at least two times in public TV in prime time (it's a classic as well as "Home Alone" for Christmas). I'm not a big fan of it, but many people love it, it's rather for adults than for children. And surely it's the best dubbed movie in Polish, the jokes are adjusted to our culture, maybe that's why it's so popular here. 

And the joke in the picture is connected with the song which appears in the soundtrack of Shrek: 

(it begins at 0.35, don't waste your life for tne beginning of the video). 

 

And no, I've never been a fan of Blink-182, I was into rap music, but they were in each music magazine.

Reminder to anybody here who lives in the United States:  Remember to "spring forward" tonight.  So-called Daylight Saving Time starts at 2 a.m. Sunday.

Does anyone else ever feel a bit like they're in drag when they have their hair down?

[Carol the Dabbler]

I've worn my hair short for the past eight or ten years, but before that it was nearly waist-length.  I mostly kept it braided, because otherwise it tangled and got all over the place (and when I was driving, I had trouble seeing around it to check the other lanes).  I did wear it either "up" or "down" for special occasions, but that never felt weird to me, just a bit of a nuisance.

 

[Pseudonym]

Hm, I'm starting to think I'm alone in feeling like I'm in drag. (I don't look like I'm in drag btw ;) )

 

In other news... an easter Cumberbunny. Well, I'm terrified. 

 

[Arcadia]

I've never had anything but long hair, worn down, so whatever it feels like, feels normal to me.
 
Sooo... another one who's scared of bunnies, eh?

[Pseudonym]

Yes, that was exactly my reaction upon seeing that picture ;)

[Arcadia]

Though so. Were you a vengeance demon in your previous life too? :p

[Pseudonym]

I am now actually.

[Arcadia]

Uh oh. (sneaks away quietly)
