Friday Filler humor: Army, Navy, Marines and Air Force
RichC | October 15, 2021
Who doesn’t enjoy a funny military rivalry video clip. HA!
The odds are at least 50-50 … right? #learning #statistics
RichC | June 16, 2021
So why do I always end up trying to open the wrong end of a trash bag? With human intelligence and adaptive learning being what it is, one would think knowing which end of the trash bag to open when pulling one out of the box or roll would favor me getting it correct? I’m […]
Hm, where did I park that VeeDub Beetle again? #humor

Friday Filler: A little duct tape humor (quack, quack) 😉
RichC | February 26, 2021
The pitfalls of Zoom meetings: “I am not a cat” #humor
RichC | February 12, 2021
It was the Zoom video that nearly broke the Internet this past week and it made me smile enough to save the mp4 video to my blog. Very funny. 😊
Funny, but not funny … perhaps it is the frustration we all feel?
RichC | December 16, 2020
Are you tired of this COVID19 lockdown yet? It is hard to believe the 2020 Coronavirus pandemic AND those politicians dictating shutdowns in their mini-kingdoms have not had more pushback than they have? Way too many small businesses, and especially people working in the travel and food service industry, will not be having much of […]

What some will do to digitalize their kids drawings #TBT
RichC | August 13, 2020
There is no doubt in my mind that I would have tried to do this if Photoshop would have been as advanced when my kids were younger (or if I would have been has skilled – I’m basically a retoucher). As it was, I did include one of Katelyn’s computer art pieces (on my Mac SE […]
Jumping dogs, Yoda-like pigs and Ostrich wood #filler
RichC | July 29, 2020
If you spend much time on social networks, this is the kind of stuff you start to collect. So before tossing it … why not force it on someone else? 😊
Face masks, eating out again and PPE in the age of COVID19
RichC | May 30, 2020
It has been a couple weeks of more states and localities re-opening. Brenda and I stopped at Fazoli’s to pick up something last weekend, but instead decided to try something new .. at least since restaurants shut down. We donned our face masks and ordered our meal sitting every other table. All was good. Then […]
Is Ohio open for business today? #humor
RichC | May 1, 2020
I can see it now, after being under the Coronavirus stay-at-home orders for the past 6 weeks or so, people are going to be excited to exit the safety of their cocoons … finally a taste of freedom again. Let’s just hope we don’t make foolish stumbles and ignore commonsense precautions. Be smart people! Phase […]
A little Coronavirus video PSA to keep you safe … and smiling
RichC | April 25, 2020
If you’ve watched, read or remembered any of the Public Service Announcements (PSA) since the Coronavirus pandemic started, you will probably smile when watching this.
Valentine’s Day is also Single Awareness Day #humor
RichC | February 14, 2020
Nope … I’m not going to forget Happy Valentine’s Day and have remembered to get something “sweet” for Brenda … although it is a good thing she reminded me earlier in the week with a “be sure to pick up a couple gift cards for the kids” comment. Whew! I was also reminded by my […]
Filling space with LTE speed test and humorous automotive GIF
RichC | February 11, 2020
A month ago Virgin Mobile sent this happy customer (great service) an update indicating that due to the Sprint T-Mobile combination that the Virgin partnership would be spun off to Sprint’s Boost Mobile prepaid group.They promised an equal or better “deal” which has yet to be noticed … but then it has only been a […]
What is going to stop the US stock market and $AAPL stock?
RichC | January 18, 2020
While working on post highlighting the DJIA crossing 29,000, I realized that the stock market has blown through that milestone and is rocketing towards 30,000 and that I’ll have to start over (probably a “worry-wart” post is coming). One of the big contributors to this Dow Jones Industrial Average is Apple ($AAPL). It just continues […]
Some dogs just need a little more loving #video
RichC | January 10, 2020
This pet video of a dog in Turkey getting his back rubbed by a car wash is pretty impressive. I guess the human touch isn’t all that important to him?
Who knew Evil Knievel owned a KIA SUV? #video
RichC | January 7, 2020
The last post of the decade: Do you remember yard Jarts?
RichC | December 31, 2019
While getting the Christmas decorations for Evergreen Farm Estates down from the poolhouse-garage loft earlier this month (Brenda and neighbor Pam have always decorated our neighborhood) … I spotted the yard game of Jarts. (you probably need to be a baby boomer to remember them?) What were they thinking??? Just as with the “design of […]
When you must get a package delivered before Christmas
RichC | December 25, 2019
UPS for the win! (wait for it) Fedex and USPS better step up their game! “Neither snow nor rain nor heat nor gloom of night stays these couriers from the swift completion of their appointed rounds.”
Shocking – how could this hang here for over 24 years?
RichC | December 24, 2019
While putting the snowblower on the John Deere this past weekend, I notice the instruction/warranty booklet for our garage door opener hanging on the unlatch rope. I’ve unlatch dozens of times, repaired the door, the opener and sensors more times that I can count … yet have never removed the booklet. It just hangs and […]
“Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow” … but not like this! #video
RichC | December 21, 2019
I love these motion-sensing Wyze Cams … Now what if someone happened to be coming to the front door? Yikes … although more than likely it would just be funny.
Who knew cats and rats could be such good friends?
RichC | December 4, 2019
This is when you know you need a mouse or RatZapper…
TechFriday: When shopping online isn’t quite right #humor
RichC | November 15, 2019
While looking to purchase a can of the highly regarded CRC Heavy Duty Corrosion Inhibitor, the shipping can sometimes become an eye opener. Perhaps Amazon Prime shipping is a good thing? (let’s hope this is an Ace Hardware – Google Shopping glitch?)
My one and a half armed brother heads for surgery #TBT
RichC | November 14, 2019
I probably shouldn’t make a joke about my brother Ron going in for a surgical repair to his shoulder on Friday, but since he was the one joking with me about how he has felt like a “one and a half armed man” since summer, I continue the joke. Hopefully, he will “slice” (ouch!) right […]
Did this dad get that automotive anchor symbol wrong? #humor
RichC | October 6, 2019
Saw this on one of my Facebook car groups and couldn’t help but posting on Twitter!
Keeping a “Sharpie” eye on Tropical Storm Jerry
RichC | September 19, 2019
So sorry President Trump (Sharpiegate) … I just can help myself when looking at weather forecast maps. #humor
When surfing or on a SUP, a dolphin can be a bully too
RichC | July 31, 2019
Dolphins and humans have a few things in common – there are bullies in both species.
What do you do when you lock yourself out? Use a hammer?
RichC | July 21, 2019
I am calling today “embarrass your wife day,” as she admitted to the questionable decision to open a door with a hammer when I was out of town last week (although she hid the damage for a day). Now that a few days have passed, it is a bit easier to chuckle and admire the […]
Filler post: A little – very little – bit of #humor
RichC | June 25, 2019
A dumb dad joke #DDJ “sometimes” can be a great filler post … and as a told my friend Jeff, “if you smile and laugh, it is good for your health.” Q: What did the father buffalo say to his son when he left for greener pastures? A: Bi-son.
Experimenting with a bit of silliness … “as seen on the Internet”
RichC | June 2, 2019
If you grew up watching Get Smart, then you know about the “cone of silence” … but do you know about the “bottle of protection?” A couple of weeks ago I stumbled across a guy work over a stove and frying pan of hot oil. If you’ve done this before, no doubt the spatter occasionally […]
Throwing the first pitch right over home plate – NOT! #video
RichC | May 30, 2019
I’m not sure Hollywood can match this on a sitcom! You are invited to throw out the first pitch at an MLB game … and then you do this! – another LINK https://myarchive.us/mp4/ThrowingOutTheFirstPitch_May2019.mp4
Very funny – Annalyn thinks Taylor looks like Rutledge Wood

How should we light our next bonfire? #TBT
RichC | April 25, 2019
We’ve had many bonfires and parties in our backyard over the years and once again the spring clean-up is building up another pretty good sized pile. An interesting “how to light it” video gave me a ThrowBack Thursday #TBT post idea (photo from a YoungLife party in 2007). Hm … not sure this looks like […]
How far left will Democrats go as they campaign for president?
RichC | April 17, 2019
It was a struggle to contain my frustration as I watched Senator Bernie Sanders pitch his version of Democratic Socialism to a “townhall” Q & A hosted by Bret Baier and Martha MacCallum of Fox News on Monday night. I “SO” hope that the American people have far more commonsense than to head further down […]
Official MLB Opening Day this year is March 28, 2019
RichC | March 20, 2019
Are you looking forward to Major League Baseball for 2019? At this point, even the Cincinnati Reds look like they have a shot … although first pitch for opening day is scheduled for 4:10PM against the Pittsburgh Pirates and who knows where we’ll go from here? Nevertheless, I’m looking forward to the season and hope […]

Where do you do your best thinking? In the shower? #humor
RichC | February 26, 2019
Wintertime offers longer days for reading and thinking and some of my better thoughts happen during my morning shower … although other thoughts aren’t quite so inspirational or deep …like, “Why can’t the sliver of soap be as invigorating as that larger new bar? Do soap manufacturers purposely make the inside of a bar of […]
Just a little diesel automotive #humor to end the week
RichC | February 22, 2019
Normally, I don’t forward emails or reposted viral images on social networks … but as a diesel car guy and TDIClub and BMW forum reader … I couldn’t resist including this as a humorous response to recent Democratic Socialists promoting their ambitious 10-year Green New Deal to combat climate change (still shocked Bernie drives this van?) 😉 […]
Joking with my son who is pondering his career options
RichC | February 4, 2019
While chatting with my son Taylor over the weekend about the terrible news regarding the killing of a law enforcement officer in the county where he works (depressing), we discussed his career options again. His job is currently to his liking, but the challenge and opportunity for advancement and salary improvement is dependent on seniority […]
The Super Bowl and tech humor shared by a Facebook friend
RichC | January 29, 2019
Just another "Patriots are in the Super Bowl" year again. Whoop-de-do. Scott Bilik and I have been Internet “tech” friends for a long time … and humorously is my Twitter “Godfather.” He has suffered his share of heartache having lost his wife Michelle to cancer in 2013, but remains strong in his faith and marches […]
Tech Friday: A virtual assistant showing a little humor
RichC | January 25, 2019
It won’t be long before virtual assistants end up in our car … question is, which one will it be? (from what I’m seeing as of 2019, it would be Amazon’s Alexa). Currently Amazon has definitely taken the lead in our home as the affordable Echo Dots are now throughout our house. I … well […]

Saw this and thought of our never ending battle with raccoons
RichC | May 26, 2018
Can’t say we are overly sad when seeing one more raccoon critter not trying to get into our house! RIP, buddy.
How do you keep squirrels out of the birdfeeder? #humor
RichC | May 8, 2018
Add something slick to the pole and enjoy the show … The birds eating at this birdfeeder are laughing at the squirrels today … #humor pic.twitter.com/MB7I3TZirM — Rich Corbett 🇺🇸 (@RichC) May 7, 2018
Be bold and change the world
RichC | April 23, 2018
It is impressive what can be accomplished with a little boldness …
Some have skill and talent, others the fortitude to try #humor
RichC | March 20, 2018
Although the .mp4 video clip does remind me of some good times down at Delray Beach Florida with our family!
Last minute gift idea AND picking the right hose clamp #humor
RichC | December 20, 2017
Just in case there are a few men looking for last minute jewelry gifts to give to their sweetheart for Christmas, here’s a ring idea that will pretty much guarantee that you’ll never need to worry again – you’ll either be alone … or dead! And since I know there is sure to be a […]
Semi-humorous advice from a Roomba Vacuuming Robot user
RichC | December 17, 2017
Before you buy a Roomba vacuuming robot "used," be sure you know what it has been cleaning. Actually I couldn’t help but smile at this well told and somewhat humorous story that might also be a useful warning to others? Credit to Jesse Newton: So, last week, something pretty tragic happened in our household. It’s […]

Filler post: How about a dumb dad joke …
RichC | July 11, 2017
Question: Why do Swedish warships have bar codes on their sides? Answer: So when the ships return to port, they can Scan-di-navi-an. (Merriam-Webster: Scan·di·na·vian \ˌskan-də-ˈnā-vē-ən, -vyən\ )
Why do some Japanese cars have such large spoilers? #humor
RichC | May 10, 2017
Ah … so that’s why they add the picnic table to the trunk of so many Japanese cars! Saw this cute photo shared by an automotive journalist friend on a social network and couldn’t help but make a comment and include.
World War I surveillance DRONE – or pigeon photography
RichC | February 5, 2017
Homing pigeons were outfitted with lightweight cameras in WWI with time-delayed shutters for aerial reconnaissance photography, likely the first "drones." They were used very effective as messenger pigeons prior to wireless radio and effectively in communicating behind enemy lines in World War II. Interestingly the Swiss Army continued they military pigeons until it was disbanded […]
A little SNOW country #humor
RichC | January 22, 2017
Really just a filler post since we were in snow country this weekend for my mother-in-laws funeral. The “more realistic than we care to admit” chart is just a bit of humor that will likely have you nodding your head no matter where you live. Winter weather reactions definitely differs depending where you are located.
Getting a straw stuck up your nose can be painful …
RichC | December 2, 2016
I’ve heard of getting a straw stuck up your nose … but this is ridiculous.
Presidential hopeful Gov Gary Johnson gets a little tongue-tied
RichC | September 26, 2016
Just when you thought this years presidential campaign couldn’t get any weirder … Gov Gary Johnson steps it up a notch on MSNBC. I don’t have (or want) the full context.
A photo that is just begging for a caption
RichC | April 19, 2016
I’m sure there are some naturalists who will point out the difference between alligators and crocodiles … but the rest can work with the "crocs" thing.
Elections are serious … but we can still have a little fun
