Thursday Thirteen #1: 13 Things That Make Me Laugh

August 3, 2006 By Jenny Ryan 42 Comments

1. All the characters in Janet Evanovich’s “Stephanie Plum” mystery series.

2. Anything written by the Sweet Potato Queen, Jill Conner Brown.

3. Almost anything written by David Sedaris.

4. Anytime I can work the words “monkey” or “weasel” into a conversation.

5. Every time my cats slide across the kitchen floor and crash into the back door and then go, “I totally MEANT to do that.”

6. The scene in the movie “Moonstruck” where Cher’s character and Nicholas Cage’s character finally confess their love for each other to her family.

7. The scene in “Soapdish” where soap opera writer Whoopi Goldberg has to write a way to reintroduce a character onto the show who had previously been killed off through decapitation.

8. “The Princess Bride”-too many good lines to choose just a few here.

9. Everything Eddie Murphy’s character, “Donkey” says in the Shrek movies.

10. All the dialogue between the crew members on the short-lived TV show “Firefly” and its movie “Serenity”.

11. The “Friends” episode from Season Six entitled “The One With All The Thanksgivings”.

12. Heather B. Armstrong’s blog, “Dooce”

13. The blog of “Miss Doxie”.

    Isn’t that Friends episode the one where Joey gets his head stuck in the turkey? If so, that was priceless!

    Great List!

    Happy TT!

    My cats do the same thing all the time!! They always look at each other as if to say I meant to do that, really!
    I love to watch Moonstruck! Great list!
    MY T13 is up. Happy Thursday!

    That is a funny list. I can totally see your cats doing that – I have a cat too. And I indulge in a little Dooce once in a while too – who doesn’t?

    Thanks for visiting my TT – I hope you’ll enter a post in the Pass the Torch contest!

    The Princess Bride is truly a hidden treasure. And for my money, Eddie Murphy pretty much stole the show in Shrek.

    Princess Bride – classic movie! Oh you’re so right, there are way too many lines in that movie. Soapdish, i loved that movie too. 🙂

    Great list! Loved the image of your cats acting all cool in their blunder. LOL! And Serenity and Firefly rock! Joss Whedon is brilliant. [sigh] I wish he would bring back something to TV, I miss his humor. Did you know that he did Buffy and Angel, too?

    Thanks for visiting my T13 today. Hope you’re having a terrrific Thursday!

    Anytime I can work the words “monkey” or “weasel” into a conversation.

    Great list! We call our little girl “Monkey” sometimes…affectionately, of course. 😉 And I love Donkey, or as he calls himself – Dunkey. 🙂
    Welcome to TT! It’s alot of fun!!

  37. Shari says

    August 4, 2006 at 5:58 pm

    The Princess Bride and Friends absolutely get me going. I think my own personal fave line from Princess is when Inigo Montoya says to the “Inconceivable!” guy – “You keep on using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means.” Hilarious.

    Thanks so much for dropping by! I’m bookmarking your blog!

    Thanks for stopping by my TT. I can tell that you are a movie buff just like me! I like all the ones you mentioned, especially Moonstruck….I can walk around around for days singing the Dean Martin song (off key, but I like it). 🙂
    Take care!

    Cats are so funny…and I know the “I totally meant to do that” face.
