So this week has been filled with a little craziness. Work has been busy; I’ve been dealing with some injuries; and driving has been rediculous as people went back to work after Snowmageddon. I’ve honestly seen places where I was quite certain someone would die unless something was done about the sidewalks…

Anyway, here are some fun finds of the week to make it all better:

I was commenting on Tuesday about a woman who brought her two sons into a public women’s washroom. The boys were probably 10 and 12 – no joke. I really think she should have saved them the total embarassment they so obviously felt and just went into the mens with them if she was so worried about it.

Anyway, after a quick discussion about it on twitter, the Ask A Urinal site came to my attention, quite by accident. Certainly fitting, though, and definitely funny.

Then one of my bloggers on Grouse Park Sessions posted this hilarious tip on how to deal with fogged up goggles. I can’t explain the many ways this makes me giggle.

My physiotherapy appointments have been funny all on their own, and quite the exercise in humility.

I’ve had a problem with my right hip for some time. It causes pain in my lower back and has been particularly troublesome in the last few weeks. I’m certain it’s from a combination of one-sided activities (8 years of kickboxing plus snowboarding) and running (which is just generally hard on the body) with very little stretching and weight training to speak of. Anyway, the first time I showed up my physiotherapist ended up being a guy I’d gone to high school with… okay, so I’m an adult now and I can deal, right? Not so much. I had to stand in front of him, facing away while he sat with his head at my butt level and his hands on my hips… then what do I have to do? Bend forward and touch my toes. WHAT?! Um… m-kay. It never ceases to surprise me some of the positions we get into that would absolutely NOT be okay if it wasn’t a professional situation. Kind of strange that it’s okay when it’s for the pursuit of a properly functioning body. But things seem to be getting better.

So, uh, would you get a Wordpress logo tattooed on you? If you really want to, I’d like to suggest you go with Billy – he’s great, despite the state of his website. Don’t worry, I’m going to fix it soon.

Favourite quote of the week: “click my junk” from Mashable’s FOLLOW FAIL: The top 10 reasons I will not follow you in return on Twitter in reference to auto-DM “thank you for following now click my junk” messages.

Thanks to the very talented Jess Sloss, I came upon this post called Lists That Aren’t Interesting, by Jay Grandin. At first I was wondering why he wrote a list about bowel movements, but it did get funnier from there. And, well, as I’ve said before, my favourite 0ne liner from a movie comes from the monkey in Madagascar, “If you have any poo, fling it now.”

So really, yeah, all my funny stuff I find on Twitter. Twitter got hacked. And phished. And here are 15 Tweets that tell the story from Sarah Jones-Larson.

And last, but certainly not least, the funniest find of the week: Combover for Science!

Well, that’s it for this week… see you next time!
