Things that you just should NOT laugh at.

My cousin used to (aged 4) play a game where she made her Barbies jump off the top of her dollhouse and 'die'. According to her mother, this would occupy her for hours!

She's 13 now, and no suicidal/homicidal tendencies yet. Nothing to worry about!

Oh mine had the lives of a soap opera star. Thrown off cliffs (I only had one Ken and they fought over him  ), buried in pyramids, trampled by horses, sealed up under floor boards, subject to sharp pendulums, or lost in chasms after earthquakes (I've always liked Poe) . . .

F was trying to decide what tattoo she wanted and where (note: F is a busty gal and has nursed 3 kids).  I piped up and said "Oh, F! You should get the titanic tattooed across your chest so we can watch it sink!"

My friend (also 'gifted' in the mammary area) was getting a dagger tattooed on her breast.  The artist mentioned something along the lines of "you know this may......distort.....later in life?"  To which she responded "Yep - by the time I'm a little old lady in the nursing home I'll have Excalibur"  Took him 20 minutes before he could continue the tattoo 

That-was-excellent!

Mine too. I started with four Kens, but two lost their heads during various car wrecks or imprisonments (I forget the exact circumstances). The heads became the oracles when Barbie went questing. Ken #3 got covered in green puff paint during a tribal sacrifice, and when I couldn't get it off, he became perpetually infected with leprosy.

Ken #4 spent a lot of time in cages or bandages or chains. Barbie was always rescuing him.

Haha it sounds like the Ehellions should meet up with the people at Burning Man who run the Barbie Death Camp That's always one of my favorite places to drop by when I'm there.

My grandfather died in December and my grandmother died soon after.

My family was in charge of the funeral arrangements, etc.

We got a 10% discount from the place where we bought the casket because we were repeat customers.

For some reason this struck us all as hilarious.

Also, my grandfather died in SE Virginia and was to be buried in Maryland. To save the $600+ on the body transportation fee, my uncle got a permit to transport the body in his van.

Cue many jokes about sitting grandpa up in the front seat to be able to go in the HOV, or how great it would be if uncle were pulled over and the cop asked him what was in the back. "My father." And, of course, much quoting of the Little Miss Sunshine movie. "Where is your grandfather?" "In the trunk of the car."

Don't get us wrong, we were devastated with grandpa died, but we were rolling all day about that.

A couple of weeks ago, I was at a pet shop. They carried rabbits, and an employee was helping a man who appeared to be developmentally disabled hold and pet one of them. All I could think of was, "Lenny!!".
I guess I must be too much of a fan of that book.

Is this the "Tell me about the rabbits, George"? book

[kingsrings]

Yup. And the guy was really into petting the rabbit, just like Lenny was. But in a good way.

When my grandfather died, my parents and I stopped at a coffee shop on our way to the funeral home. We were behind a conversion van which made a turn without signaling. Cue me in the back seat croaking "If I were a cop I'd give him [the van driver] a ticket!" (one of grandpa's pet phrases while driving). I still can't believe I said that.
