facial hair

Two days ago JMatt had a full moustache and beard.
He asked me if I thought he should shave it all or leave his moustache. I said shave it all.

Yesterday JMatt had a full moustache and goatee.
I said, oh, you left some of it.

Today I walked into his office and he only had the goatee.

I said "Oh, you shaved more. you should make it different everyday except i guess that won't work 'cause eventually you'll just be left with a few little hairs."

And that made me laugh out loud. I made myself laugh out loud. It wasn't even funny. But it was to me, for thinking for a second that he could make his facial hair different everyday, before remembering that, duh, eventually there would be none until it all grew back...
Or really for thinking he could shave a little bit more every day until he was left with just a few little (long) lone hairs on his chin...

okay this got me

it was sort of funny, a little bit, not terribly, but what really got me was the comment the woman made after the guy asked her to make the sound of an elephant. it's a couple minutes in so watch and wait:

not much to tell

how depressing, i haven't laughed (out loud) at much lately, but here goes...

Sunday, 6/17: I may have sort of laughed out loud at a couple lines in the movie "Thank You For Not Smoking". It wasn't that funny, but I was entertained, especially when the guy was grinning because he won the bet about whether or not the protagonist would get some tits.

Today, 6/20: I laughed out loud 2x. Once, upon seeing a pic my friend posted on my other friend's myspace - it was a pic of him with really big balls, and it said "It's strange, but now I know why you're always rubbing your balls."

And then I laughed at some really cute pictures of puppies, mostly the last one.

bbq at JMatt's

Not many people showed up, and I didn't stay long, but this is what I got:

1.
me, to JMatt: I have nothing so far today.
JMatt: You haven't laughed out loud today?
me: No.
JMatt: You wanna hear something weird?
me: What?
JMatt: pbfthttttt... (that is supposed to be a sound-effect, of the sound one makes when sticking out and sputtering their tongue)
me: (giggling...)

(6 seconds pass...)

me: ah-ha ha ha (laughter out loud)... okay, that's funny...

2.
(Music playing)
JMatt: Ween was hired to do a Pizza Hut commercial, and this is what they came up with, it's about the pizza with the cheese hidden inside.
Ween: (click here to listen. you might have to give it a second to load and slide the thing-a-majiggy whatever it's called back to the beginning a couple times to replay.)
JMatt:They gave Pizza Hut their song and Pizza Hut was like, "No, no, no, the kid's won't like it." So then Ween gave 'em this...
(JMatt runs to ipod to change song...)
Ween: (click here to listen.)

14 June 2007 laughs out loud

1.
Constantine sliding into second base. I really wish I could adequately describe this.

2.
Mark Fast: Is he wearing bowling shoes or something? How’d he slide like that?

3.
Mark Fast, looking at slide trail, to Zach: You almost didn’t make it to 3rd, you slid way too early.

4.
John Carroll touching third base with his hand, as he rounds it and fails to touch it with his feet.

5.
Mark Fast, on first base (after having played centerfield), to the really hard-hitting woman at bat: Don’t hit it here!

6.
My brother calling me for the second time, after the first time he called me and I said hello five times, commented to the people that I was with that he must have accidentally called me, and hung up: It wasn’t an accident!

7.
Me and Owen are in the car, Owen is driving, and someone behind us is honking.
Owen, annoyed: I really hate it when people are pissy.
Me, after a 4-second lull: Ha ha ha, as you become pissy!
Owen: Like look at this guy, dick move… Owen becomes pissy, 7pm eastern time… and look at this guy, plenty of time, not a dick.
Me, laughing: Owen, you have to stop, I can’t write this fast!
Me, 10 seconds later: Now you’re like totally silent!

8.
As Owen and I pull into the driveway, I say: Who’s car is that?
Owen: I think it’s John Maniscalco's. I specifically said 7:15 in the emails, multiple times, so people wouldn't come early.
Owen and I are walking in the door of the house, and I say VERY, and purposefully LOUDLY: What kind of asshole comes early?
Owen: Somebody’s pissy.
Me laughing.

9.
I walk up the stairs, starting to head right down hallway to my room, and glance upon passing into the kitchen… : OOOOOHHH, it’s yooooouu…
I realize the person that I in passing called an "asshole" was Steve Munch, faculty. Oops!
Much embarrassed laughter ensues. Lengthy embarrassed laughter. Me sitting on the floor in the kitchen consumed with embarrassed laughter...

10.
Steve Munch: So, you still want me to be on your committee?

11.
Steve Munch, later, to Owen: So, sorry I got here early...
And to me: ...not to you.

12.
Me relaughing out loud at number 13 from yesterday, Jenny was like, "get your fist out of my butt."

13.
Me as I'm relaying this relaugh to Sheryl since she's sitting at the kitchen table with me as I'm re-reading and laughing out loud at it.

14.
Okay I just laughed out loud at it again while writing number 12 above.

13 June 2007, first implementation of my new project

I went with Adam and Jenny and JMatt to see Faust in Central Park, complements of the free Metropolitan Opera in the Park.

1.
JMatt (to a car of 3 others): What’s the highest you’ve ever counted?
Adam: Hmmm, that’s a good question...
Jmatt: When I was a kid I counted to 1200… out loud… on a really long car trip… until my dad yelled at me, "MAAATT!"

2.
JMatt was politely asked by Jenny to stop grabbing and loudly letting go of the ceiling handles in the car. About 40 minutes later, after accidentally just letting go of the handle: Oops! Sorry! (or maybe he said, "oh shit, sorry!")

3.
Me: I lost my pencil
(JMatt reaches to the pen in his pocket.)
Me: I have a pen
(Jmatt hands me his pen…)
Me: Okay fine, I’ll use a… pen... -cil
(As his pen-shaped utensil reveals itself to be a pencil)

4.
Me, writing down the moment of JMatt letting go of the ceiling handle in the car: What d’ya call these?
Jmatt: "Oh shit" handles
(Okay my housemate may have just ruined this for me, I didn't know they were already called that. Damn, I thought that was a unique JMatt-ism. Poo... well, still funny, to me...)

5.
After being invited to the city, I said to JMatt, "Okay, but maybe I should go home and get some shoes" (because I was only wearing flip-flops, and it was chilly and maybe going to rain). In the end, he denied me in the interest of "time".
Later, in the car, getting on 495 from the GCP, as it's starting to rain, JMatt: I should’ve brought an umbrella.
Me: I have an umbrella, but I’m gonna have to use to it wear over my feet.

6.
Me: Wait, does that count if I'm the only one laughing? Can I count that one?
JMatt: Is that something that you’d write LOL when you're chatting?
Me, not hearing correctly: That I would write LOL when I’m “shatting?” No, I don’t LOL when I’m shatting!

7.
After parking and entering the park to go to the great lawn to see the Met Opera, JMatt stops to look at Central Park map as the rest of us keep walking. Then he looks both ways and realizes that we're not stopping and quickly jumps up and catches up (at least, this was my interpretation).

8.
Jenny goes for a walk.
After some minutes, JMatt: I’m worried about Jenny. Central park is no place for a single woman to be walking alone in the dark.
Me: She’s not single, she’s got Adam
JMatt: No, I meant single like alone.
Me: I know. Hey, I’m single and I’m in the park!
Adam: Say that a little louder.
Me laughing.
A moment later, JMatt laughing.
Me: What?
JMatt: I was just laughing because I was thinking of that graph you sent.
Olivia: What?
JMatt: It was a graph of Lee’s success with men.
See below, the graph my friend made for (of) me:

9.
Me, lying on a blanket, after hearing JMatt, lying down on an adjacent blanket, talking for a while: Oh my God, I totally thought JMatt’s head was down there!
JMatt: What?
Me: Well, according to my perception, you were just talking out of your ass.
(I was already laughing, but to which he replied: Oh, so it would be just like any other day; and I replied: Exactly!)

10.
It's dark out, still in the park, opera still going. I look up, and...
Me: Look, there’re birds flying.
Olivia: They’re bats.
Me: No, they can’t be, they’re too big.
Olivia: I saw some bats… (I didn’t understand the rest)
Me: There are bats in Manhattan?
JMatt: There are bats in the belfries.

11.
JMatt, to Adam: Don’t crush Jenny while I’m trying to talk to her.

12.
The opera stops. I'm thinking it must be intermission, and comment on this, but lots of people are leaving, so I'm not sure.
JMatt (potentially in reference to the two rows of 20 or so porta-potties): There’s no intermission in the park ‘cause you can go to the bathroom whenever you want.

13.
After JMatt said something about having a room next door to Annie's, I say: What?
JMatt: Jenny was like “get your fist out of my butt.”

14.
JMatt: You guys wanna play bocci with this watermelon and some plums?

15.
JMatt, as we are all leaving the park and heading towards the row of porta-potties: I have to go to the bathroom.
Me, as he puts the chocolates in his pocket: Okay, don’t drop the chocolate in the toilet.
JMatt: Oh, that’s what the kids used to call it.

16.
JMatt: I’m concerned that I have an enlarged prostate.

Premise

Yesterday I decided to write down everything that makes me laugh out loud.
So I started, yesterday.

This will mostly be funny to only me, and I will not always include all of the context because I don't have the time to write that much.

Later we well find out who makes me laugh out loud the most, though I have guesses.

Small giggling doesn't count. It has to be a real out loud laugh.

I am the judge of that.
