I'm dead tired (but, clearly, not exhausted) after Software Freedom Day Singapore 2009 (which I will blog about at my leisure, unfortunately for you), but I really do want to keep up my blogging rate - I'm still averaging a post a day since I started this whole better-blog-regular-like thing on Monday, and it seems a shame to give that up - especially with all the help Remember The Milk is giving me in this area! - so I figure I'll bring you some funnies.
I love comedy with a passion unequalled by any of my other interests (and if you have any idea how many "interests" I have, this will have astounded you). I enjoy a lovely belly laugh as much as the next person, basically rely on the BBC's Friday Night Comedy podcast to get my through overlong days and stressful times, and read webcomics I like with vengences. I'll dissect comedy to get at the bones of the thing, with meat still hanging loosely on. I'll revere people I consider to be comedy geniuses, such as Messrs Milligan, Hamilton and Hardy, as well as brilliant comedic performers, including Peter "Bluebottle" Sellers, Mark "Mr. Cul-de-sac" Steel, Jon "Brian Perkins and The Doctor" Culshaw, Fred "It's Fred" MacAulay and the entire cast of I'm Sorry, I Haven't a Clue and The Now Show. And what an uncomfortably long list that is already. Check them out on Wikipedia - or even better, YouTube. They really are incredibly brilliant.
Reminiscing (to say nothing of mass Wikipedia-ing) aside, here's the links I really wanted to share on this blog post: some of the funniest gags I've seen on the interwebs recently.

Well, that took longer than I thought, but my list of things-to-blog-about is now a whole lot smaller. Hooray, etc! I'll see you tomorrow.
