I believe I mentioned sometime ago that I would like to publish some fun articles here on the website, and to this end I’m thinking of starting a weekly column, with funny news items.
What I’m looking for are short stories that tickle your funny bone which you might have seen on-line, in a magazine, in the newspapers or anywhere, maybe even in your church.*g* The only criteria is, it has to be funny.
Because readers on this site live in countries all over the world it would give the articles different perspectives on what’s going on in your world. What do you think? Of course this means that you would have to do some of the work and I would collect your information, collate and publish it. I would prefer web based articles because links make it easy for the other bloggers to follow up the story, if they want to, but other types of articles are welcome.
Am I out of my mind? (Scratch that.:) Please write me at mail@gayromance.org if you think this idea has merit, or leave a comment on this post. Thanks guys.
Here’s a sample http:/www.geckotales.com/funny-newspaper-articles.htm
What sort of things are you looking for? Related to your website’s topic? Totally unrelated yet fun?
I read this afternoon that Calvin Klein is looking for ordinary males to model their underwear. In the light of the topic we just discussed at Jenre I am not sure if that is a good idea *g*

“Totally unrelated yet fun” is what I’m looking for. If you check the link at the end of the post it will give you an idea. I haven’t had time to visit any other blogs this week because I’m still busy updating the site but I’ll check out Jen’s this evening.
I am peeing in my pants here after reading the swimmer in the beach chair article 😀 Ouch!
I thought that was very funny. Can you imagine the 9-1-1 call? The woman with the vibrating panties who passed out (I guess she was having multiple orgasms) was also pretty good.:)
Wave – The sample stuff was great. I try to live by the motto that laughter just about cures all. I don’t have a lot of time to read all the blogs I want, but quick, funny reads like those are a nice break to the work day.

That’s why I thought something like this would be great for people who were in a time crunch, it would brighten their day without being a time suck.
OMG, I’m so glad I read this tonight and not in the morning while drinking coffee. ROFLMAO!!! Those were too funny. 🙂
It’s a good idea. I’ll keep an eye out for funny articles. Do we just email you the link?
Hi Lily
I’m glad I made your evening.:)
Yes, just the link would be fine and I’ll post them once a week.
OMG! I’m sure even the neighbours at the end of my street heard me. vibrating panties… that was a first for me. lol!
Elayne
You don’t hve one of those vibrating panties? Shame:) I wonder what she said when she recovered from her faint?
Will keep an eye out. My friends (linguists) often send me fun stuff.
Btw, that picture… right stuff at the right moment. A friend of mine just got his new bike this afternoon. A blue one. And a speeding ticket for trying the bike out. Showed him the picture and his reaction was priceless 😀
