Comic Compilations

Ok, here’s the thing.  We all have funny things that happen in our day to day lives that should be documented somewhere for others to hear and laugh about too.  This page is dedicated to the funnies in my life and the lives of those around me.  Each section, with it’s own brief explanation, is dedicated to a specific type of funny that frequently occurs around me.  If you have a funny that fits one or more of these sections, please send it to me at tobiasvaldez@gmail.com with the story behind it, or post it in the comments at the bottom of this page and I’ll put them into the mix.  Thanks for the laughs and I hope you enjoy them!

BASSET HOUND MOMENTS – Having kids, I’ve seen I own the movie, Madagascar 2, which is a hilarious movie.  At one point there are two lions in a bucket sending messages through a chain of monkeys up to a zebra who passes it on to the penguins.  Confused yet?  Anyway, the messages get turned into something that wasn’t intended and the phrase, “pass it on” becomes “basset hound.”  In real life, I don’t hear so well (I think others around me mumble) and so, what is said and what I hear are usually two different things.  The result is a “basset hound” moment.  Enjoy.

1. Coming soon…(I’ve actually documented a few of these somewhere else, I just have to find them and post them here)

LOST IN TRANSLATION – This may be contagious, so be careful with this one.  I think it started with my mom, but has since been contracted by myself, my wife, my kids, and a few friends around me.  Certain thoughts are sent from the brain to the mouth, but somewhere along the way phrases like, “Hershey’s Chocolate World” become “Hoshey’s Chercolate World.”  That particular saying came from my daughter at the ripe age of 3.  So beware, this condition will strike at any time, any day, and at anyone.  These are better if you read them out loud.

1. “Hoshey’s Chercolate World” – Hershey’s Chocolate World (see above)

TWO WORD RULES – Here’s the story…I’m a dad.  I have two kids.  I hate having to repeat myself when it comes to rules in our house.  So in all of my brilliance, I started simplifying our rules to two words and a conjunction, “and.”  So things like, “Stop slamming the door.  Turn the knob, then gently pull the door shut,” turned into “Turn and shut, turn and shut.”  And my family gives me the business about it all the time.

My Two Word Rules (…and how they came about):

1. “Turn and shut.” – See above
2. “Poop and flush.” – This one should be obvious
3. Yes, I have more and they will be posted soon, so check back often…

Two Word Rules From My Readers (…and their story):

1. “Read and comment.” – This came from my good friend, R.C.‘s (like the cola) about page on his blog.  Check it out at New Life Living
2. “Teeth and pajamas.” – This came from my good friend, Babione 6.  It’s her nightly command to the kids when it’s time for them to get ready for bed.
3. “Turn and follow.” – This also came from R.C. as he got tired of kids stopping and asking him questions one day while they were walking.  So he told them to turn and follow their mother.
4. “Butt down.” – This doesn’t follow the two word rule “rule,” but I like it so I’ve added it.  It came from a friend as he was eating at a pizza place with his “three crazy kids.”  I’m sure you get the picture.
5. Keep sending them to me, or leaving them in the comments of this page for us all to get a laugh at.

TEXTING TRAIN WRECKS – This is just a simple collection of texts that went bad during typing.  I’m sure we all have them.  You may have seen some of them over at THIS SITE.  They’re great for a quick laugh.

1. “I’ve got butgun.” – Originally intended to be “I’ve got nuthin.” Thanks to autocorrect, butgun is now substituted for nothing in our house on a regular basis.
