O_o that's weird. and scary :\

O_O *turns slowly towards the door* neighbor just stepped into the hallway outside...and abruptly burst out laughing..

Spontaneous Ponder: What makes you laugh?

Recently I went to help my brother move, and while I was putting his shiny new TV table together, I was watching a movie called "Little Miss Sunshine" with Abigail Breslin (and a stacked cast). There's one scene where the family is pulled over by a cop in their oooooold VW van/bus thing, and when the father (Greg Kinnear) gets out, his horn gets stuck in 'on' mode. Only thing is, instead of blaring like horns normally do when someone is leaning on them, this horn sounds like it's emitting its final dying wail. Mind you this goes on for about four minutes...four minutes of lingering on and off wailing of a dying car horn

I had tears streaming down my face, and I couldn't eat (bro had brought home pizza at this point) or secure another piece onto the TV table until long after the scene was over. Every once in a while that sound will pop into my head again and I'll just start laughing. Mostly happens at work when I'm bored so I have to keep my laughter silent.

I love that movie!! But Greg Kinnear's character pissed me off a lot.

Still loved the movie though.

This sounds stupid but those sonic commercials crack me up. Where the people are always sitting in their car and the banter is so stupid it makes me giggle.

Ugh! I had to get a new laptop today.My current HP Laptop that has always hated me, is close to frying it's third motherboard, and it keeps making weird grinding noises and crashing for no good reason. I am being sent somewhere in the middle of nowhere mid April for a community speech pathology prac, and don't want to find myself without a working computer. I had to settle for a $645 Compaq not too pricey yet still a big chunk out of my finances. also I really wanted a MAC. Sigh it's like getting a Toyota when you really want a VW or a subaru. I'm a bit scared as Compaq are technically HP and I don't trust em (for good reasons.

And on the topic of fruit...I have food texture issues so I cannot tolerate most fruit. Bananas apples and citrus I can handle, but everything else has to be pulverised or it aint going in my mouth.

Avery: ME TOO!!! ggrrrrrrrrrah I wanted to reach through the TV and strangle him sometimes ><;; Olivia's dance at the end was priceless though.

Boris: is this a work laptop (by work I mean provided by work) or a personal laptop? Why couldn't you get the Mac, outside of your price range?

Sarcastic or dry humor is my favorite but it has to be really good to actually get me to laugh. Playing with my cat can get me to actually laugh. Especially when I play hide and go seek with her and I know she knows where I am but she's being all sneaky and quiet. That gets me to actually laugh.

I guess that goes in the category of "even the slightest funny thing when you're in a situation where it's not polite to laugh". Even more so when you're with someone else and you're both trying not to laugh. That can cause more laughter than anything for me.

Oh yes the desperately supressed giggles are the hardest ( and most fun)

Why *is* laughter so contagious? I wonder if there's any psychological or biological reason behind that. When someone near me is laughing I physically can't not laugh.

I love those situations, especially when you know if you sneak a glance at someone else you know is trying to suppress them too. You both know each other is trying hard not to laugh. It's great.
