The Do-Run-Run At Enron

According to the Associated Press, former top accountant at Enron Corporation, Richard Causey, sealed his plea deal with prosecutors Wednesday, becoming a key potential witness in the upcoming fraud trial of former CEOs Kenneth Lay and Jeffrey Skilling. Looks like this Enron end-run will make for some good dramatic courtroom TV in the months to come.

In other news, I've almost completed the funny t-shirt section of the April Fools website. I'll be selling gag gifts there as well in the coming weeks. Look for some new, exciting and freshly funny t-shirt designs there!

Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays and Funny T-shirts for All

Well, its that time a year, Christmas Day, so I thought I would take a moment before the kids get going to wish all my blog readers a Happy Holiday Season, including Christmas, Hanukkah, Kwanza and any other pagan or non-pagan semi-religious or Santa oriented celebration that one wishes to acknowledge (Ah, yes, political correctness at its best!).

Anyway, let's have a fun, funny and prosperous new year and bring joy to ourselves and to whomever else we can.

Santa Airlines – Safest in the Business

I can't believe Christmas is just a couple of days away. I thought it would never get here. What makes me nervous more than Christmas, though, is how many airline disasters and near-disasters their have been lately. Last week an airplane crashed off Miami killing all on board. Also a Jet Blue flight landed with its landing gear cockeyed.

This week, there was a Learjet with mechanical problems in Chicago circling and radioing for help with 9 people on board and a Midwest Airlines jet flew into Boston’s Logan International Airport with sparks flying from its fault right rear landing gear. Next, week I fly to New York City to bring in the New Year. Perhaps, I should call upon Santa's elfin aeronautical engineering team to pre-check the Jet Blue flight I'll be on. I’m pretty sure that Santa's crew has the best flying record in aviation history. I can't remember a single case of Rudolph's hoof turning sideways on touch down.

New Funny T-shirt Designs For The New Year

Been designing some new funny t-shirt designs to roll out in the new year. I love the design work! In fact, this is the most fun I have on this job. The humorous, creative brainstorming sessions is what makes me feel alive. I figure if I can make myself laugh (which isn't always easy) with some of the designs, then others will laugh, too. Well, that's my hope anyway. I can't wait 'til the new year gets here. I'll be rolling out these designs on another site to test market them first. If all goes well, then I will start sharing some of the funny t-shirt designs between sites. Anyway, that's my game plan for now. It's good to have a game plan going into the new year.

Brown Christmas

So, I was flipping channel last night and stopped on the Bravo channel and listened to a promo for "Christmas with the Browns". You know, Whitney Houston and Bobby Brown. What’s this going to be, another "Rehab Christmas"? C’mon! Are they decorating the Betty Ford clinic with an upside down Christmas tree this year? Little vials and spoons are dangling as Christmas ornaments. They’re singing songs like, "Grandma Got Run Over By The Pusher" and "China White Christmas" and "The 12 Days of Withdrawals". C’mon! Christmas with the Browns. Next thing you know, we’ll be having a special on TV, "It’s a very Tookie Christmas".

Funny T-shirts Humor Blog Humble Beginnings

If you’re a standup comic wannabe or some other type of chameleon, then this is the place to be. I, myself, am quite a maroon as Bugs Bunny says (as opposed to a macaroon or the Macarena), so self-deprecation is not only a technique but a way of life around here. If you haven’t guessed it already, I am heavy on the puns both in this weblog and on the regular websites as well. Verbal puns, visual puns and other wordplay is what I’m all about. So, this is the first post in this blog and I hope there are many more to come! Excelsior!
