I really like cremation songs. As the belt started, it just went 'the long and winding road,' and it made me laugh. It feels so inappropriate because of how abrupt it was. And then I just started thinking about inappropriate cremation songs.

Steve Martin Writes the Written Word is an aptly-named collection and excellent introduction to the comedian's best writings, including some new material.

Totally Harmless (can't remember author)."

It may be TMI, but I have a weak bladder. Now, I know what you're thinking: Isn't having a weak bladder an issue for a guy whose job is to search for the internet's absolute funniest photos? The answer is "yes." Peeing your pants on the job is no fun. But I forge onward for all of you! What's that? You're also wondering what my co-workers think of this? They don't mind - because they know that when they see me looking like the two gents below,

If you've been following my blog posts for any length of time-first, thank you-and second, you know that I love to write about certain patterns evident within humor. One of these is deception. There seems to be a lot of it showing up in a variety of humorous content, in jokes, true-life anecdotes, stand-up performances, and sitcoms of every stripe. Comedians relate stories about other people lying, as well as those times when they felt compelled to do the same.

Horror games usually delight in making their players feel terrified and powerless, but that's not the only feeling the genre can conjure up. Campy horror might be more associated with late-night B movies, but it has its place in games, too, as with the new tactical RPG . And while it became one of my most anticipated RPGs leading up to its much-delayed release, Demonschool 's lighthearted take on horror leaves it feeling a bit weightless now that it's finally here.

Growing up, I wasn't sure how I felt about sushi. But once I -um, went through puberty, I guess - I realized there truly is nothing quite like a good sushi roll.

The TCS New York City Marathon returns Nov. 2, attracting the world's greatest runners and the Five Boroughs' quippiest spectators. Before over 55,000 runners hit the streets on Sunday, we'd like to shed light on the burden of their two million friends, family, and supporters: designing a clever sign. Based on last year's performances courtesy of our friends at @whatisnewyork they've got quite a tough act to follow.

As he reaches his one-year anniversary as head coach of Manchester United, it is fitting Ruben Amorim genuinely has something to smile about. For if there is one element of the 40-year-old's personality that shines through, no matter how bad things have got over the past 12 months, it is his ability to laugh. Amorim laughed, albeit tinged with embarrassment, when his distinctive phone alarm went off at a news conference in Kuala Lumpur in May.
