Keep us in stitches CAL!!! --> Looking for Round Two Volunteers!

[Krystal16]

ANOTHER JOKER to JOIN US!!!

 

Now, rlanto, what's your joke?

 

By the way, Lea - at the joke!!! It really IS funny... even if I did wait 24 hours to get to the punchline!

 

I like the idea of highlighting for the answer - great joke! My kids are loving this - jokes I can tell them!

 

As for the set number of rows... I just can't do it. I want this to be free and creative and fun. I'm afraid if I start setting limits that it will ruin all the fun. So all of those of you at the end - if you're stressing... just know that if you want to do one row in that week, that's perfectly fine. If you take longer than a week to get that row done, that's fine, too - just let us know you haven't fallen off the earth. I'm happy with that if you people are, too.

 

I sure do wish we had some men joining in these CALs. I hope they don't think we just like our little coffee clotches and don't want to pester us. Any men out there reading - WILL YOU PLEASE COME JOIN MY CAL?

[ldyer1]

Ok sounds like a plan. I suddenly got a vision of a 120'' monster arriving at my door lol. could you imagine my face :gasp.

 

Are we sending around a journal with the blanket? I think we could write our stitch information of course and then JOKES JOKES JOKES, as well as perhaps a funny (but appropriate for all audiences) story or something. What do you think?

[Krystal16]

Oh, absolutely - the journal is a MUST!!!

 

I love these journals that go round. I'm going to put a pic of me in there on my page. Then I'm going to put in the patterns for the rows (since mine is the beginning, I'm going to make it a square-type thing), as well as some other stuff that just suits me at the time.

 

You can do what you want with the journal - jokes, stories, what moved you to choose the colors and stitches you did, pictures.... whatever! This is a great way to get to know the people you're collaborating with.

 

Oh, you people have no idea how excited I am to get this underway! I've been dreaming about this for quite a while... months... and to actually have it start AND have so many other people like the idea - awesome!

 

I don't think this will quite get to 120". IF for some reason it starts to get heavy, by all means don't forget about Parcel Post! I can make the route as easy as possible for making that shipping cheaper (first class and priority mail it doesn't matter the distance), but I have to make priority for scheduling, THEN consider route.

 

All those who have said they're joining in, could you please PM me this info:

 

REAL NAME

MAILING ADDRESS

EMAIL ADDRESS

PHONE NUMBER

 

PLEASE don't forget the phone number. I will absolutely positively NOT share it with anyone at all. It is ONLY if I've tried all other means to contact you and can't get ahold of you. IF you have an accident and are in the hospital, not checking emails, etc., it helps immensely if I can call and find out easily what is up.

 

Thanks, ALL!

 

Let's see if we can get a few more JOKERS in here with us.... Come one, come all!

[Krystal16]

So this duck waddles into the hardware store, walks up to the counter and asks the owner, "Got any gwapes?" The owner answers, "Of course not!"

 

The duck waddles back out.

 

A few hours later, the duck waddles back in, up to the counter and asks "Got any gwapes?" The owner answers, "I told you already, NO!"

 

A few hours later, the duck waddles back in again, goes up to the counter and asks "Got any gwapes?" The owner answers, "Are you dumb? I've answered you already, I do not have any grapes! If you come in here again and ask me, I'm going to nail your feet to the wall!"

 

A few hours later, the duck waddles back in, goes up to the counter and asks "Got any nails?" The owner, politely answers "Well, no - I'm out until tomorrow's shipment" The duck then says, "GOOD! Got any gwapes?"

[Melibean223]

i would like to join, but I would like to be towards the end if possible. This sounds like it could be alot of fun

[Krystal16]

To the back of the line you go, then Melibean!

 

Welcome, do you have a joke for us?

[slicer]

Ok, I'm in! I can't resist, this is a wonderful idea.

[Krystal16]

Got ya on the list, Amy!

 

Have YOU got a joke for me?

[Aussie]

Krystal this is such a great idea. But I think Im going to sit on the sidelines with this one and see what you all come up with.

[Krystal16]

You can cheer us on and give us some of your creative ideas...

[rlanto]

A joke?! Oh man, I generally don't tell jokes - oddly enough. At least ones that are appropriate on CV.

 

So, here goes.

 

A squirrel leaves his den and the chipmunk asks if he left the stove on. The squirrel says "No, I'm a squirrel."

[Krystal16]

 

I'm blond... not gettin' it... Somebody, HELP!!!! Clue me in!

[rlanto]

It's not really supposed to be funny. It's one of those horribly corny jokes. Squirrels don't have stoves, that's the punch line.

 

I told you, I'm not good at jokes. I'm much better at situational humor!

[Krystal16]

Yes, situational humor is much better!

 

My DD8 was watching these 3 park workers erect a prefabricated gazebo during swimming lessons. She commented: "That's hardly work!" So, I said "Well, Union work is great if you can get it - good money for that work"... .To which she said - "Well, I know why there are three of them... One to get the coffee, one to get the doughnuts, and one to actually work"... I nearly busted a gut!

[KnicKnac]

Ok Krystal, sent you a PM.

 

My joke:

 

What is a crafty pig called???

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

A cunningHAM

[judianne]

Sounds like something she might have heard from mom:lol

[Krystal16]

Hmmmmm... actually, if I had to guess, it was likely heard from her Uncle... but the fact that she pulled that line out when she did was STILL funny!

 

I'm getting several of your PM's for info - thanks for that!

 

We're still accepting new jokers, so jump on up on stage if you'd like to join in with us.

[slicer]

Hope I don't butcher this one too bad....My bf's uncle told it to us at the reunion in June.

 

There's a guy that works at a State Hospital. He tells his patients that if they are good he will take them to a baseball game, but at the game they must do everything he says. So he takes them to a game and whenever something good happens in the game he says, "Cheer nuts." Whenever the other team plays good he says, "Boo nuts." When the wave goes around the stadium he says, "Stand nuts."

 

So, the guy decided to go to the concessions. He leaves the group with his assistant. On his way back, the group is being escorted out by security. He asks his assistant what happened. The assistant said, "Some guy yelled PEANUTS.

[JulieKay]

Ok I've got one.

 

This one may be SLIGHTLY off color but not bad .

 

 

Two old ladies were at the county fair, waiting on the judges to award the ribbons for their flower arrangements they had entered .

During the time they were sitting on the bench, a little wrinkled up old man kept running past them, nekkid as a jaybird .

Finally they asked someone what he was doing in the booth with the flower arrangements, running around nekkid.

The judges told them he was trying to win a blue ribbon for Best Dried Arrangement .

[JulieKay]

Please don't kick my butt.

 

Thank you .

[Krystal16]

:rofl

 

OH, those are both GREAT!!! Thanks!

[creativepassage]

Count me in!

[Krystal16]

Alrighty, Becky - got ajoke for us?

 

Here's another:

 

What did one ocean say to the other?

**Nothing, they just waved.***

 

(Highlight for the answer)

[creativepassage]

Ok...I've got one

 

Where was the Declaration of Independance signed?

 

 

Ps...how do you do the cool hi-lite thing????

[Lavelle26]

I would love to do this with you all. It looks like fun and would have relatively small amount of work involved. I could work anywhere in your schedule as well. Can I please join you???
