“Cubicle gophering.” Heehee. A couple from my childhood which still draw a smile: Sitting in the library and noticing that A History of Art had a bad, bad word in it. Reading an old manuscript which mentioned “fea ferpents.” ---

I guess I am immature because I laugh even thinking about the (unsubstantiated) commentary by Brian Johnston on a 1976 Test match between England and the West Indies, where firey West Indian paceman Michael Holding had the ball and dour English batsman/off spinner Peter Willey was at the crease. According to many people (including co-commentator Henry Blofeld), Johnners deadpanned the line “The bowler’s Holding, the batsman’s Willey.” I’m laughing at my desk now typing this. ---

> [@glowacks](#): > > Out-of-towners tend to giggle at [this sign.](http://www.getoffonbigbeaver.com/) It’s an I-75 exit in Michigan. For me at least, the sign was such a common sight since before I had any inclination as to the…other…meanings inherent in those words that it was an extremely long time before I made a connection. Yes! That’s the first thing I thought of… immediately followed by Albert Pujols. ---

I live a few blocks from the listed apartment. Even though it’s a local real estate broker, they spelled the street wrong. It’s Cumming, for god’s sake, not Cummings. [Cite.](http://media.bigoo.ws/content/image/funny/funny_872.jpg) I’ve been living in this neighborhood for nearly a decade, and it’s still funny. ---

I make “your mother” jokes constantly. I point out when I’m about to fart. I giggle when my friend who works for the government tells me about the great cover terms they try to sneak in, like PENISLAND. (Next attempt will be pig-pen island.) I still laugh when I go by the Bong Recreation Area. I snicker every time I drive by two convenience stores in the Riverwest neighborhood of Milwaukee: S&M Mart and Midget Foods. ---

The following conversation with my boyfriend after eating way too much delicious Indian food: Me: Uuuuugh, look at the size of my foodbaby. Him: Someone’s going to actually ask when you’re due.
