Roz and the Schnoz (Frasier) and now accepting puns on my name

“We couldn’t get a straight take, it’s wonderful that way.”
Roz and the Schnoz is the punniest episode of Frasier, which is why it’s among my all time favourites. The plot: Roz is pregnant with the child of her boy-toy, and though they’ve split, his parents (Paula and Steve) want to meet her. They come over […]

Pimping your browser

If you’re using Firefox (and you should be. No excuses), install the Pimpzilla theme for a browser with bling. I’ve always preferred the functional look for my broswers, but this is amusing without being in your face; ironic for a theme that supposedly pimps your browser. I laugh out loud every time I see that […]

Chortling…

Sample One:
Her eyelashes fluttered like the windshield wipers of an eighteen-wheeler on the Ohio Turnpike when the weary-eyed driver is trying to have at least some vision in a heavy August rainstorm that is like an Appaloosa urinating on solid asphalt.

Sample Two:
“I know what you’re thinking, punk,” hissed Wordy Harry to his new editor, “you’re […]

The Headbutt

Via email and SMS, I’m told that Materazzi asked Zidane ‘Hum Chlormint Kyun Khaatein hain?’
Then there’s Materazzi who claims that he did not call Zidane a terrorist (ref: Zidane’s Algerian descent). The joke? Materazzi clarifies: “I’m ignorant. I don’t even know what the word (terrorist) means.”
It has also been claimed that this headbutt was more […]

Lifebuoy se nahao, nahih to shamshan jao

Ironic, innit? That’s not all. Even the walls of the Electric Crematorium are being used for advertising. This is prime advertising space on the ultra busy Mathura Road in Delhi. The irony of the above pic was noticed by my friend Abhinit, while I pointed the rest of the adverts out to him.

(Will substitute this, […]

Unrest in Space !

Quotable Quote from the World Cup

So far, it has to be the following statement by the commentator on ESPN during the Sweden vs Trinidad and Tobago game:
“The hopes of Trinidad and Tobago have been written off more times than the Mexican national debt”
Had me LMAO. Excellent game. Every other game so far pales in comparison - including the Germany vs […]

More Useless Fun

Again, courtesy Aditya, a link that might make you laugh so hard that you’ll fall off your chair:
‘The killer facts that you might have made up‘ thread, and
Sample:
I.R. Pirate: A polar bear, when standing on the north pole, faces south, no matter which direction he faces. A polar bear, when standing on the south pole, […]

There are times…

…when you start laughing at the very thought of such things actually taking place.

Jungle Jungle baat chali hain, pata chala hain - chaddi pahen ke World Cup hame hi jeetna hain

Each of the Hyundai sponsored WC coaches will have the teams slogan on it, voted for by fans. Surprisingly, for a sport with the largest fan base in the world, the slogans aren’t particularly inspiring.
Let’s take a hypothetical situation - it’s the 2050 world cup and India makes its first appearance in the finals, exactly […]
