Referring you to Lord Celery...

2011-03-17T11:12:00.005Z

As much as I enjoyed having a separate "humor" blog, I have found that I don't have the time to keep it going. You've no doubt already figured that out by the lack of posts here!

So please come see my main blog Lord Celery, where any humorous photos I find or take will be mixed in with other topics on the blog.

Thanks in advance for following me over there!

That's one way to avoid having to decide what flavor of milkshake you want!

It was so kind of Ruth to give the dwarf a lift during the marathon...

I just hope it doesn't scream when I bite into it...

We all reach this point some time in our lives, don't we?

2008-09-25T12:19:00.002+01:00

Do you think that the babies can change out their parents in there as well?

Didcot railway station, Oxfordshire - with thanks to Gavin for his photo

So this little device can turn a tourist into a British citizen, just like that?

2008-09-21T20:32:00.002+01:00

I am? Me? Really?

Is this a joke ... or an unfortunate Indian guy's real name?

2008-08-29T14:36:00.006+01:00

Name and address on a piece of advertising recently returned, as undeliverable, to our office in Oxford.

There must be a "fast track" school nearby...

2008-08-29T08:48:00.003+01:00

It's true, kiddos - slow down. You'll get old soon enough!

Janet

Excuse me - can you tell me how much you're charging for a CD in your shop?

2008-08-14T13:36:00.003+01:00

Banbury, Oxfordshire - August 2008

Erm, Mr. Sudanese ambassador, we assume we can just call you "Abdal" for short?

2008-07-28T21:05:00.002+01:00

Clearly, this is why wide-screen televisions were invented!

John wondered which relative his mum thought would need resuscitation, during the family party.

Swindon, July 2008

The label on the bin doesn't mean you're SUPPOSED to litter in the area!

Oxford, 17 July 2008

I guess there's already enough smoke in the air...

I'm completely confused - what am I supposed to or not supposed to do here - all the time?

Texas - Where It's Never Rude to Talk Crude

Did YOU know that "The Doctor" knew Michael Jackson?

If you're REALLY cool, you don't need to put a sign on your car!

2008-06-13T20:18:00.003+01:00

(Of course, I suppose there could be a refrigerated feline in the back seat.)

(Seen on a car in the Water Eaton Park & Ride lot, near Oxford, UK.)

A shop in Calgary...but I have to wonder how many people actually get the joke!

They say you can't believe everything you read...

2007-09-17T20:07:00.000+01:00

Now if I could only borrow two bins from #12, I could get all the information I would ever need!

Here in England, local government will spare no expense when installing a new bus stop...

Hmmmm...I was under the impression that I was the only alien in this family!

2007-08-06T19:43:00.000+01:00

Aunt Blanche was suspicious that what was rolled up in that pancake might NOT be duck after all...

July 2005 -- during her first visit to the UK

I scream. You scream. We all scream for ice cream

Greenwich, London - June 2007

Do you suppose my desk has a role model?

"Well...erm...okay...well...erm...I guess I'll choose prison, then."

2007-03-27T21:55:00.000+01:00

(From London's "Metro" newspaper, 23 March 2007)

I'll try my best to keep VERY still, then...

2007-03-20T22:03:00.000Z

A sign posted on the Oxford Park & Ride buses. (OK...to be fair, it's only PART of the sign!)

I'm a little confused where the men actually are...

2007-03-07T07:54:00.000Z

(On scaffolding in front of the Oxford Courthouse)

John is still sitting there, waiting to be "Ed"...

2006-12-22T17:15:00.000Z

What are YOU lookin' at?

2006-12-10T12:38:00.000Z

So, does that mean that it's OK for adults to trespass?

Oh drat...

...well, I guess that rules out transporting NBA players on our local bus...

(Click on the photo for a full-sized image.)

Completely by accident...

2006-08-07T09:04:00.000+01:00

...I put my glasses down on top of the book I'd been reading...and here's the result...

Janet

I can order WHAT, delivered right to my room?

This is the first post in my new blog -- Alfie Lafalfi.

Why a second blog? Well, this will be a repository for the weird & wacky & wonderful.

I won't post here as often as I post in Lord Celery. But feel free to check in from time to time to see what I've found to share with all of you.

First entry? Here's reprise of something I posted on Lord Celery last year. It's from a menu in my room at an Oxford hotel, when I stayed there the night of our company Christmas party in 2005.

The Brits among you will wonder why the Americans are laughing so hard!
