In one of Robins blog posts she asks us to keep sending her links of amusement and distraction. I thought it might be fun if we had a thread to post them into, all in one place, for when we find something good or interesting.
I will start off with these links that I dont think anyone else has posted:
http://www.stonehengestones.com/cgi-bin/ston.cgi - jewelery made out of the same stone as the Stonehenge stones, from the only people who are licenced to source/supply it.
And for when you have had a bad Hell Hound day I offer this as light relief - A converstion between a dog with an absolute focus on eating root vegetables and the owner - and its utterly hilarous (contains some swearing)

http://www.dailycoyote.net/ - story about a woman who adopted a young orphaned coyote pup, and put the story online and got a fanclub 
http://smittenkitchen.com/ - my favourite cooking blog - awesome photos and the recipes I have tried are pretty good

Lianne! Posting the link to Two Lumps wasn't nice - I've spent hours in the past two days reading it! Ack! I don't have the time to spare but I can't seem to stop!

This story was posted by someone - my apologies, but I forget who - back in the time when Robin's blog was on LJ.
http://www.shady-acres.com/susan/squirrel.shtml
I still think it's one of the funniest stories I've ever read online. So whoever it was who posted it originally, thank you again!

I see you that squirrel story and I raise you the Demonic Squirrel and motorbike story

The Demonic Squirrel is highly amusing, but I personally find this one MUCH FUNNIER
http://littera-abactor.livejournal.com/2007/05/08/
I posted this in my original post and whenever I am having a bad day I dig it out and read it, and it never fails to help make me laugh
To entice you - here is the beginning:
Dog: I am starving.
Me: Actually, no. You aren't starving. You get two very good meals a day. And treats. And Best Beloved fed you extra food while I was gone.
Dog: STARVING.
Me: I saw you get fed not four hours ago! You are not starving.
Dog: Pity me, a sad and tragic creature, for I can barely walk, I am so starving. WOE.
Me: I am now ignoring you.
Dog: STARVING.
Dog: Did you hear me? I am starving.
Dog: Are you seriously ignoring me? Fine.
[There is a pause, during which the dog exits the room in a pointed manner.]
[From the kitchen, there comes a noise like someone is eating a baseball bat.]

*grin* Oh, I read that one, too. And it caused much laughter. And then I went trundling through the rest of that person's Livejournal, and found the bra rant, and the tampon rant... I think I spent over an hour reading her stuff.
|
Oh yes I remembered the Bra Rant late last night - I loved the bit about each boob being in a separate postcode, not just from her, but from each other

My cat never pays attention to the computer screen, but she watched the roomba driver from my lap .. no idea what got her attention.

I liked the football turkey. And the bride and groom.

Here's a great link I found over at BookBalloon. Make sure you check out the ones that were made and sent in by fans--so funny!

Um, sorry? (Well, not really.)
