Have you ever busted out laughing at a truly inappropriate time?

admin — Sat, 24 Jul 2010 09:49:08 +0000

My husbands mother died, she was 91 and though everyone was deeply saddened, no one was surprised. She had been ill for sometime and had lived a long and fruitful life.
So, we all went to say our goodbyes at her wake. Once we did the initial viewing some of us went into the lounge room to take a break. I was standing in the room admiring the lovely couches, grandfather clock and the beautiful artwork on the wall when my eyes were met with the strangest sight. On the wall next to a curio cabinet filled with pretty things was a sign that said
"Gift Certificates Available"
Well, I could hardly contain my laughter but I tried to so it became one of those weezy laughs and tears were rolling down my face. My husbands sister came over and said "Are you ok?" I pointed to the sign and she started busting out laughing too. Now I began hysterically laughing, I could no longer hold my back my laughter and I am a real cackler. Now the whole family one by one came over and each saw the sign and pretty soon the room was full of people just "dying" and doubled over with hysteria. Tissues came out not for tears of sorrow but for tears from comedic relief.
The funeral director came over and looked puzzled. "What is so funny?" I pointed to the sign and I said "What kind of funeral home gives gift certificates" "I mean, do you sell them to old customers to get new customers?" He said "No, that's for the gift shop downstairs" I said "Well that's just as creepy. Who would give someone a gift certificate to someone for a gift shop in a funeral home?"
"I never thought of it that way" he replied.
I of course went down to the gift shop and bought myself a little angel figurine. When I was paying they gave me a free gift. It was one of those clips for like a potato chip bag to keep them fresh once opened and it had a magnet on the back so you can put it on your refrigerator when not in use.
On the clip was printed
Branch Funeral Home
Funerals and Cremations
190 E. Main St
Smithtown, NY
631-724-9500
Now that's what I call shrewd advertisement!! Every time I use this clip I will think of that day and who knows, I might give my sister in law a creepy gift certificate for her birthday for that cute gift shop.
Anyone have stories of laughing at unusual moments or even just funny stories?
Wow, you guys have some great stories. You guys added much fun to my day

Curious 1- I loved the Mary Tyler Moore show! Unfortunately, I didn't see that episode but I did see the Carol Burnett episode when she was Scarlett from "Gone with the Wind" when she put the curtains on complete with the curtain rod on as a dress. That was just too hilarious. Thanks for the memories.
Me - LOL A load of tissues falling out of a bra, what a classic.
Rosebud - Loved your story. Sounds like something from a comedy show.
mswnana - Wow, and I thought "almost" walking into the mens room was embarrassing. The womens lib comment was really sharp.

What does Lord Voldemort do in his spare time?

admin — Fri, 23 Jul 2010 15:35:49 +0000

Imagine in an alternate reality, Voldemort has taken over the world and there are none to oppose him.
Now he has control and is immortal, what exactly does he do?

I always wondered this... thoughts of Voldemort making his own chat show, playing table tennis with Lucius, etc. come to mind. I can imagine him writing his own Autobiography... "Secrets of a dark lord, the story of how a prodigy took over the world"... then I imagine things like "Voldemort's hair care series" etc.

Also, does Voldemort eat and sleep? And what is his house like? I imagine, as a hoarder (he likes collecting valuables for Horcruxes), he has many collectibles. He probably has every Voldemort figurine there is! And Voldemort probably has his own facebook, but with no "real friends."

Have you ever wondered this?

I am desperate to find this Precious Moments Piece?

admin — Thu, 22 Jul 2010 15:46:21 +0000

I am looking for a Precious Moments figurine that I saw a picture of a few years back, it is not in any of my Guidebooks/pricing guides that are about 5 years old, so I know it is a relatively new piece. It is an angel with a baby wrapped in a blanket and the mother wiping her tears.

Please help if you can - I have emailed Enesco's Customer Service and called every Hallmark in town.

Thanks!

Ahhhhh! I'm having a nose bleed and I'm hyperventilatingting?

admin — Mon, 19 Jul 2010 15:46:25 +0000

Help, what do i do?

See, I was playing with my Star Wars collectible dolls and Luke was just about to find out the origin of the Jedi race and the force from the master See-yOu-Look but then the dreaded Gothranus came, luke tried using his proton blaster but the Gothranus force block stopped the blaster.

Then Leia came to save the day, and as i was looking at her hot figurine i thought a dirty thought and started having a nose bleed.

Zomg, Omg wtf do i do. I never learned my l337 skillz.

Will removing the tags from my collectible figurines reduce their value?

admin — Sun, 18 Jul 2010 18:11:17 +0000

I collect wolves and dragons, and most of my stuff is poly resin figures and statues. Most of these collectibles have a cardboard tag tied onto them, be it the front paw of a wolf, or the tail or a dragon, etc. that certify that it is a hand painted figurine and all that stuff. as a collector, I have many of these statues and the tags hanging of bugs me. Will removing the tags lessen their value later?

Breyer Horses????????????????????/?

I have these breyer horse figurines and I was wondering how much I could get for them? I know they're collectables. I paid about 20 dollars each for them. I also have a never opened set of Flicka breyer horses. Any idea how much they could be worth? I bought them about 2006.
