Things that make me go... lol

There are many things in life that I find worth a giggle or two.  There are the obvious choices- Don Brash, Sarah Palin, my parents (my Mother insists that Facebook is The Facebook and my Dad pretty much thinks the Internet is heralding the coming of Satan) and the like.  We could extend this also to those people you laugh at in your head (or not, if you're me) on the street/bus/local food court.  I find the world full of people and things deserving of a hearty chortle.

The Internet, despite being the source of all things evil (duh), is full of great things that I fill my moments of boredom with.  I've recently made a few discoveries that are truly lol-tastic.

The first is Let YiaYia Say It.  You remember granny from My Big Fat Greek Wedding.  YUS.  I know, she was brilliant, right?  Well running with this same idea of the crazy ethnic granny (note- granny craziness seems to be particularly prevalent among 'ethnic' grannies- it's like you're average euro-centric family doesn't have too many crazy geriatrics)


There's also this site- http://www.buzzfeed.com/yiayia/let-yiayia-say-it that lets you write your own YiaYia sketch.  Provides endless entertainment.  I always find old people who believe in the coming of the devil and an innate evilness in human kind to be the BEST kind.  I'm just waiting for my parents to age enough to reliably establish a constant suspicion of the evil eye and the like.  IT WILL BE GREAT.

I think the relentless mockery of the Hipster fraternity is getting somewhat passe, however this site-  http://unhappyhipsters.com/ ,perfectly captures some of the more ridiculous aspects of these aesthetically driven creatures.  The commentary is always extremely glib and witty which is exactly what I like to see (below is a screen shot taken from the site)

Other sites that provide me with endless entertainment are http://www.thoughtcatalog.com/ which is always full of the musings of the sub-28 individuals of the world and covers everything from 10 foods depressed people eat and You know your childhoods over when....  If you're bored this weekend, totally check it out.  http://www.awkwardlean.com/ is also well worth a looksie, although if you like taking pictures of yourself in nightclub mirrors you won't find it as hilarious as the rest of us.  You also run the risk of finding a picture of yourself uploaded.  Awkward.  Lean.  (Haha see what I did there... awful.  I'll stop now)

I have others too.  This post feels too long.  I'll store them up and do another post at a later date.
