The Daily News
1 Here’s something fun. YB Drama and ATFNL are staging a show tonight entitled Bang Bang You’re Dead, a sort of morality play about the dangers of potential Columbine outbreaks in our schools. The show begins at 6 p.m. and is FREE! Suny Um directed this fine show, and you might want to give it a look. It is also tomorrow night and Saturday night. I’m not certain if they are running two weekends, but let’s hear it for Suny and the entire group for keeping Drama alive at YB!2 Break-a-leg guys!
3 Moving on: Something fun.
4 I just have thought about the word “fun” for years.
5 We all want to have it.
6 We want to do things that are it.
7 In fact, any time we could do something that IS it, people seem happy.
8 “It was fun!” is always met with smiles and affirmations.9 Last night I began goofing on the word “fun”. I googled it, and here are some pictures of what came up. I’ll try to explain each, and perhaps how it ended up in the fun section of Google:
10 This first one makes sense to me. I personally think gorillas are fun.
2 At the top of the page, we have Michigan J. Frog, the famous Warner Bros. song and dance guy who performs only for his owner. HIs fun song is I’m Just WIld About Harry, and frankly, I think he’s pretty fun too!3 Standing in puddles is clearly fun.
4 There are those who claim washing a car is fun, and that a gift filled with car wash stuff is fun as well. This one I sort of agree with and sort of don’t. If you just got a NEW car, then this is a great present. If you just got a NEW car as a gift, and this is in a present that is labeled “Open Me First!” then this is GREAT fun, unless the car is a Yugo.
5 Evidently these three guys are fun. I don’t really see it, unless Chris Ramirez could write me a story about them. It’s an odds-on-favorite he still probably owes me a story dating all the way back to his sophomore year, which is when sophomores were invented. Chris?
6 Dogs are always fun.
7 Now clowns aren’t fun, in my eyes. In fact, it’s almost cliche to say you are afraid of clowns, so I was surprised to see Bozo on the first page of Google fun. It’s obvious where the national fear of clowns originated. This guy is the scariest thing I’ve ever seen. No fun.
8 I’m not trying to be politcally incorrect, but somewhere in the definition of child abuse, they should have this guy as a fellow who probably struck fear into the hearts of millions of children.9 And while we’re on the subject, how about Barbie’s eternally scary little sister, Skipper? She’s right out of the Twilight Zone. No fun, indeed!
10 And this guy just showed up on the Google fun list. How is HE fun? He’s like a trans Bozo on clown-makeup roids.
11 If I’m the boss of Google, I gotta ask my crew where they came up with this stuff.12 We had a vain skunk. I guess it’s pretty fun. But I just think a lot of other things are more fun than a vain skunk.
13 Actually, he or she is no fun at all.14 You could always make an argument for a moose, especially a moose named Mrs. Moose.
15 These gals label themselves as Twisted Fun, but frankly, I don’t see it.
16 I have to get movin’, but I think a point was made here. Nowhere on their 16 or 17 page choices did I see the Stooges, or Alfred E. Neuman, or even a rollercoaster.17 Personally, I love having fun, whatever the heck it is. But I’m guessing that if you were some alien from another planet, and you had to depend on Google pics for your definitions, and someone asked you if you wanted to have a litte fun, you would probably pack your ugly family back into the flying saucer and speed back to wherever you came from.
18 Meanwhile, I think I could use a picture of a dog or two.
19 Just for fun.
20 Have a great day.
21 Peace.
