A Bridge Too Far: Humor and Resilience in the Face of Adversity

Funny Friday: Wedding Crashers "Motorboat"

In honor of the wedding the werewolf will be attending, this seemed appropriate.

A View from Paris.

The campaign office the werewolf is currently ensconced in is located on the historic square in downtown Paris. It occupies a giant vacant converted store front, complete with huge glass windows and doors that provide an expansive view of the charming town square. This week has reawakened the werewolf's inner-appreciation for people watching.

A new breed of east Texan was spotted this afternoon. The werewolf was quietly working on some media items when the rumble of large chili red Ford pickup truck caused him to look up from his computer screen. The passenger door opened and out popped a three foot tall black-Hispanic midget complete with a multi-colored serape and a mini-mullet. Talk about sensory overload. The werewolf regrets not having a picture to share with you all, but the trifecta of midget, mullet, and serape was enough to satiate the werewolf's need for a therapeutic afternoon laugh. God bless thumbalina and the value she briefly added to the werewolf's day.

That ladies and gentlemen was the snapshot of the week. Here's to living large in east Texas.

Funny Friday: As Good as it Gets - You're a wonderful man!!

The werewolf remains convinced that all "real men" have a little Melvin Udall within them. Udall speaks truths that we all think.

The werewolf imagines that taking his inner monologue public, a la Udall, would be an incredibly liberating experience. However, given the oppressive political correctness and tyrannical sensitivity that govern elements of modern society, expressing true honesty openly would come at an extreme social cost. Something, even a lone wolf, like the werewolf, with his blackened heart, isn't ready to fully absorb onto his balance sheet.

That being said, this role may well reflect the pinnacle of Jack Nicholson's storied acting career. Here is to living vicariously through Melvin Udall. Enjoy.

Funny Friday: Too Big to Fail

Youtube is not cooperating today. Damn them.

From the Peter Lattmann over at the WSJ blog, "Small-Business Special Report: "Too Big to Fail" Underwear."

"The phrase “too big to fail” has entered the American lexicon. If A.G. Newmyer III realizes his dream, the expression also will find its way inside your pants.

Newmyer has launched a Web site–www.sillyunderwear.com–selling one product: men’s underwear with “Too Big To Fail” emblazoned in red letters across the front. “Show off your own Bailout Package in these exclusive embroidered men’s underwear,” trumpets the site, which offers the choice of either boxers or briefs." 

Between "small-business" and "too big to fail" all that is needed is "that's what she said" thrown in for a good measure and juvenile humor can reign for hours. 

Funny Friday: 30 Rock - Therapy, Jack Style

Although not an avid fan of 30 Rock, this scene still cracks the werewolf up. Here is some of network television at its finest. Enjoy!

Christopher Hitchens: Why Women Still Aren't Funny

This five minute clip speaks for itself. The werewolf has a female friend from high school trying to make it on the LA stand-up comic circuit. She's struggling.
