Nutty Insane!

We’re going to let this “ATM machine” redundancy pass because it’s part of something humorous.  They’re all around us.  Even Oprah is guilty with, “Women are committing financial suicide to themselves.”  –02-13-08

Let’s go with your favorite redundant phrases!

Cliches Gone Ary

I do like it when someone butchers a cliche, either on purpose or by mistake.  That’s funny.   

 We had a KTBS photographer who was the best at accidentally crafting entertaining cliches.  Two of my favs:  “He was running around like a chicken with his nose cut off.”  And, “She was driving like a bat out of a cave.”

A friend of mine from another country once told me I was comparing apples to pears.

Wipeout!

Tuesday, June 24th, 7 p.m. Central on ABC.  This will make you laugh!  I’ve seen episodes.  After seeing the episodes with commentary, I don’t think the promo ABC is currently airing does the show justice.  Click here to see it.   If you keep watching, you’ll see promos that include the commentary, then you get more of a feel for the show’s humor.
