When it comes to farting, Richard prefers the "tilting to one side" method.

People In Newspaper Ads Who Look Like They're
Farting. From The West Virginia Surf Report, a blog and webzine with a little bit of everything to tickle your funny bone, or offend you, depending on your point of view.

Jesus Christ, how many times are we going to have to deal with jonson's scat links today?

From "Black Box Stew":
-People who get off escalators and immediately stop, as if they've just been transported to a strange, exotic world.
From "Rules of Thumb":
-If she smokes, she fucks.
-Ugly travels in packs.
Harsh.

I actually laughed so hard at a few things in the best of that I woke my wife up and she asked me if I was a gibbering moron. That was pretty great, thanks.

LOLLERcaust from the Best Of.
It really is fucked how people find sites. My own referral info has "old people fucking" and "fruit fucking" in it all the time. I mean, how many people search for "fruit fucking" every day? Or "old people fucking"? If it's only that one guy, why does he keep clicking to my site when there's no fruit fucking or old people to be found? And, considering I'm probably not in the first few dozens of pages for these phrases... well, wtf? How many pages is this idiot clicking every link on?

Wow. I couldn't disagree more. With the exception of the headlines, the Onion hasn't been funny in a long time. You read the headline, laugh, and then give up on the article half way thru because they say anything yet that didn't occur to you from reading the headline and knowing their tired style.

At least in YOUR relationship YOUR status is in doubt.
In re: "People In Newspaper Ads Who Look Like They're Farting," I've always wondered why those models are posed so oddly but "farting" never occurred to me. Should it have?

I thought that most of them looked like they were farting or had farted, especially the little kids. My SO was not amused. She did not think any of them looked like they had.
It goes to show that women are completely humorless when it comes to farting and fart jokes.

They could have put a little more effort into finding better images, but I did laugh like an idiot at "it now sounds like the Emergency Alert signal is going off."

I love fart jokes. Actual farting - not so much, but humor involving the subject? Sure. But I still didn't think these people looked like they were farting, save for maybe the first one.
(Oh yeah, and I'm a girl. A really girlie one, too. Show me the way to Hello Kitty. I am woman, hear me put the seat down)

-Nobody cares about the weird dream you had last night.
YES. Because if you say "Do you want to hear about my weird dream?" in essence you are saying "Would you like to hear about things that never ever happened and never ever will happen outside of my subconscious?" And if you phrase it like that, the answer is always no.
-People who say, "Whoa, I'm not even going to touch that one!!" can't think of anything clever to say.
RIGHT! But they want you to think that they had something to say and that it was SHOCKING.
I say shocking things all the time, and never am I ever afraid to touch them. Provided I am wearing gloves.

That was funnier than the farters.
I continue to maintain that the children looked like one had farted and was laughing about it and the other was shocked by it. Perhaps I fart too much to be unbiased toward the subject.

Honestly? To show off the product with a minimum or wrinkles or distortion. A lot of the time, the clothing will be pinned (or even taped) in the back to make the front look even flatter and wrinkle-free. Models are just meat-based clothes hangers.

chuckdarwin: i believe he is from WV originally. And that may be something people are missing. this is basically one guy's journal. I've been reading him off & on for 3?4?5? years (i'm not sure how long he's been at it, but it been a while) and he has basically been blogging his life pre-blog, and i guess he had a zine before that.
his writing always reminded me of a non-fratish bill simmons, not that i want to peg him to that. i am not sure why exact, maybe it is in his descriptions of things. he's got a really good writing style and his humour is usually self-depreciating, which i always enjoy.

It's amazing how regular pictures of people can magically become pictures of people who look like they're farting by simply listing them under the header "People In Newspaper Ads Who Look Like They're Farting."
P.S. Fart.
