Eurozone Humor

by Shane Holden on November 8, 2011

I don’t post jokes often, but during our political talk at work, a co-worker told me this and I found it quite funny.

Q: An Irishman, a Portuguese, and a Greek go into a bar and have a round of drinks. Who pays?

A: The German.

Obama Jokes At Work

by Shane Holden on February 10, 2011
  • Co-worker: Boys, we need copies of your birth certificates for this retirement plan.
  • Me: I assure you I’m legal.  I feel throwing some Obama jokes out now.
  • Co-worker: Obama jokes?
  • Me: Yeah, like, would a certificate of live birth work?  Or better yet, how about I’ll show my birth certificate when Obama shows his?
  • Co-worker: Oh, I see.
  • Me: Sorry, I couldn’t resist.

Lunch Yesterday

by Shane Holden on October 21, 2010

Just sitting here thinking about lunch yesterday, how funny it was.  My brother and I was eating at Chick-fil-a, on the side next to the playground.  The playground door was locked because it had rained earlier, and even with the lack of people sitting outside, that didn’t stop kids from trying to get out.  This one little boy and I’m guessing his grandpa walked by to try to go outside, when the little boy noticed that my brother and I are twins.  Now you’d think that’d be something that you’d get used to, to where you didn’t blush when you notice that it’s being pointed out.  Yet when he proceeded to make sure everyone around us knew, I can only imagine how red I must have actually been.  I’m a modest guy, so while I may have felt a little uncomfortable, it was so worth it to see that little guy’s face light up with excitement and the recurring smile I get when I think about the whole thing.

Sonic CreamSlush Treats Are Great!

by Shane Holden on October 7, 2010

Sonic slushes are good, but the new Sonic CreamSlush Treats are even better, not to mention half price all day last month and this month.  There’s so many flavors available, but I just can’t seem to turn my back on the Strawberry.

Just Saw You

by Shane Holden on August 28, 2010

This very brief encounter with an elderly man at Texas Roadhouse was just what was needed at the time.  The funny part is when Chase got back to the table, I was like the funniest thing just happened, and he was like no way, I’ve got something too.

The elderly man’s brief conversation with Chase:

  • Elderly man: You know, you and they guy sitting next to you look an awful lot alike.
  • Chase: Oh yeah, sure do.
  • Elderly man: Must be identical?
  • Chase: Yep, we sure are.
  • Elderly man: Praise the Lord!

The elderly man as he was walking by our table, told his wife he needed to stop for just a second, to tell me:

  • Elderly Man: You know, I thought I just saw you heading towards the bathroom.

  • Me: Nope.
  • Stranger: Damn! I would have guessed 19 or something.

GoldenEye Remake

by Shane Holden on June 16, 2010

Today I saw a status update from a friend on Facebook about the infamous GoldenEye 007 from the Nintendo 64 being remade exclusively for the Wii.  After looking it up and seeing a clip, sure enough, the greatest first person shooter game of all time is being remade.  This brings back a bit of nostalgia for me, as when this game was originally released I was 12, and my friends and I played this game for literally hundreds of hours and still to this day proclaim it as one of the greatest games of all time.  I remember it was one of the biggest accomplishments of Chase’s as far as gaming went, because he beat the game 100%, even through the hardest mode available, 007 Agent.

First Time Fishing

by Shane Holden on April 10, 2010

Today out of the blue, my brothers and I went and bought some fishing rods and went out to Carters Lake for a little while.  I say I’ve never been fishing before, because when I did, it was with my grandparents back when I was too small to remember.  There was no biting at all that we experienced, yet I can see why fishing appeals to people.  It’s calm and relaxing, and as long as you have patience, would be a great way to spend some time outside.  Mom and Dad rode out and spent a little while with us, which gave Dad the fever to get his license sometime and join us.  He said he hasn’t been fishing since he was a kid either, and wants to do it with us again sometime.
