Your professors were probably afraid of your galactic genius and did everything they could (behind the scenes) to thwart your hedginess.

I love http://www.cutethingsfallingasleep.org.

Some people prefer http://www.cutethingslaughing.com, which is laughing babies. Since I am not susceptible to the lure of babies, I like the other site better. Also, I will be one of the few left standing when the aliens invade and use baby-shaped pods to deliver their deadly human-killing spores, which the baby-pod will give off when hugged, squeezed, tickled, bounced up and down, or cooed at. It was nice knowing you all. ;)

I battled a bout of the blues (heh) with this lol. I literally laughed - really laughed - for ten minutes. My officemates were a bit taken aback.

TZ, I laughed so hard at that one when it was posted a few days ago.  Hearing the torrent of giggles, dear SO made me print it out!

Here's my contribution for the day.  And this thread is excellent.

I also love this Cheer us up thread. It is giving me much-needed laughs. My cats are laughing, too.

Ok, this one won't be for everyone, and it comes with a nice big neon "parental advisory warning" or whatever-that's-called label:

Savage Love

For those of you who somehow haven't run across Dan Savage's column, it is the sex-advice-column-to-end-all-advice-columns:  X-rated, brutal, offensive, the whole package.  And no, you aren't laughing with them, you are laughing at them.

But this is the only thing than possibly kick me into a better mood when I am in a very deep funk.  In fact, I deliberately don't read them until I actually need to. 

Come to think of it, I haven't read one in months.  I guess I must be having a pretty good year.
