10 Things to Do While Waiting for an Inspirational Blog Idea
A very funny post from Brian Lageose. Please visit his site to read the entire piece and enjoy!
Here’s a great photo from 2019. Entitled “He’s right behind me, isn’t he?” it was taken by Anthony N Petrovitch.
And I love this photo from Vlado Pirsa called “Family Disagreement.”
We can all imagine that conversation.
And this head scratcher from Co Grift.

Although these photos are humorous, they are also meant to bring attention to wildlife and their habitat destruction.
Happy mid-week. 🙂
I found more of these humorous wildlife photos together with commentary from the photographers and just had to share.

Hide and Seek
“As this azure damselfly slowly woke up, he became aware of my presence. I was lined up to take a profile picture of his wings and body, but quite sensibly the damsel reacted to the human with the camera by putting the Marsh grass stem between me and it. I took the shot anyway. It was only later that I realised how characterful it was. And how much the damselfly looks like one of the muppets.”

Seriously, would you share some?
“Atlantic Puffins are amazing flyers and their fishing talents are – well – as you see, some do better than others! I just love the second puffin’s look – can I just have one please?”
Happy Wednesday. 🙂
A carnivorous domain has commandeered this pool. But what sort of domain?? Here is a laundry list of possibilities:
– degenerate elf spa
– psychopathic salad greens
– denture retirement home
– the evil car from Stephen King’s evil car novel
– Michael Bay film set
– vicious attack bunny lair
– there’s nothing carnivorous in there at all; it’s the secret toilet paper depository
What do you think?
Happy Wednesday. 🙂
A piece about the Comedy Wildlife Photography Awards brought delight to my day!

Was it laziness on our part or the quality of jokes on yours? Only time will tell. For now, let’s get started for it is time once again for… If …
Bad Joke Monday takes it easy
To start your Tuesday, please enjoy Feeding on Folly’s Bad Joke Monday. It’s just too good (especially the illustrations) to pass up. 😀
As Monty Python used to say, “And now for something completely different … “
Firstly, my apologies to John Steinbeck, but I really couldn’t help myself.
Secondly, this title (and post) is in honour of Brian Lageose, who in particular does a terrific job of twisting well-known tales into Gumby dolls, and who in general is a terrifically funny writer. You can visit his site at https://brianlageose.blog/ Please do and take a stroll through his many wonderful posts. 🙂
So, without further ado, a warped excerpt from the fictional “The Japes of Graft:”
“In the cold half-morning light, Rod stumbled across the dusty street, chasing a ten dollar bill that rustled and shimmied through the grime, a snake-like, reptilian escapee. Somewhere off to his left, a boy named Sue was snoring loudly and muttering about eyelash curlers. Rod stopped his chasing and listened intently, his heart pounding and jumping at the unexpected exercise. Would Sue awaken and steal his ten?”
Will Rod overcome his tendency to graft?
Will Sue awaken in time to enjoy her jape?
Will Rod realise that the ten is tied to string before it’s too late?
Will Rod and Sue become partners and keep the ten?
Personally, I think this book is about politicians. 😉
Your mission, should you choose to accept it, is to add a line or two to “The Japes of Graft” that honours Brian’s sense of humour and maybe twangs a funny bone or two.
I hope you choose to participate. 🙂
