LJ comments and birthdays

For those of you who, like me, hate the new comment feature (the one where clicking on reply gives you this tiny window that only lets you do a subject heading and a post, instead of letting you pick your icons or even change what account you're using), apparently you can do a quick workaround by right clicking and then doing "open new window". That and other ways of avoiding it can be found over here. (Link courtesy of rahalia_cat).

Also, happy birthday to twistedchick!

Yet another one that always makes me giggle

There's a knock at the front door. A man opens it and looks down to find a snail sitting on the stoop. He picks up the little critter and throws it as far as he can.

Three years later, there's a knock. The man opens the door, looks down and there sits the same snail.

The snail looks up and says, "What the Hell was that for?"

I live to please...

For shellmidwife, who asked:

Three strings walk into a bar. The first string goes up to the bartender and asks for three whiskeys. The bartender looks down at the string and says, "Sorry, buddy - we're not allowed to serve drinks to strings in here."

The second string steps up to see what's the matter. "We're paying customers, and we demand three whiskeys!" he grumbles.

The bartender says, "Listen, fella - I'm just following the rules. No strings allowed in here."

The two strings sulk back to the table and tell the third string, who really gets angry. "I know how to handle this!" he growls as he begins to double over and tie himself into a messy tangle. Swaggering up to the bar with strands flailing in every direction, he shouts, "Bartender! I want three whiskeys, and I want them NOW!"

The bartender casts a suspicious look and asks, "Hey... Aren't you one of those strings that came in here earlier?"

The tangled-up little guy shrugs and states confidently, "Nope, I'm a frayed knot!"
