Ribtickling Bush Comedy

There are many jokes which you would have read and enjoyed.Jokes especially do rounds during some particular season or based on any current events.For examples jokes have doing rounds when ultimate star ajith films flunked big time in kollywood and when DADA’s performance was a cause of concern.In US the jokes were mainly aimed at the great president of all times Mr George W.Bush.The joke which I enjoyed recently is as follows:

One day god decided to sent his agent to India,the duty of the agent is to select the people for heaven.The people who want to go to heaven has to be clear in their SOP(Statement of Purpose) for a place in heaven.The first person is Albert Einstein, god’s agent asked him “How can I believe that you are Einstein?Can u justify?”.Einstein took a piece of paper and derived E = mc^2 equation.God’s agent was very much satisfied with him and gave him the heaven ticket.Then came Pablo Picasso and the agent asked him to prove.Picasso took a chart and drew the famous “The Old Guitarist” painting.On seeing that the agent gave him the ticket.Next came in the great president of all times Mr George W.Bush.He spoke to the agent about the execution of Saddam and a lot about terror.The agent wasn’t satisfied with him and he told to prove something like Einstien and Picasso.Bush asked “who is that Einstein and Picaaso”.The agent was surprised and told him “It is very rare to find a intelligent person like you on Earth and dont worry you will get the ticket for sure"

College Life-Day1

It was September 10th 2004,supposed to be a memorable day in my life but unfortunately not due to lot of reasons.After more than 3 months of holidays,i woke up early and got ready for the first day of my college.The bus journey was full of advices and i thanked god for creating humans with two ears.We reached tambaram by eight and somehow reached roja department stores.There we boarded the college bus and as usual windowseat for me in the bus.There were plenty of boards saying "Way to Sairam engg" but i coudn't find any any big building within my sight.Then i told my mother "enna amma edhu,college eh kannuku padala" and my mother asked me to be patient.When the bus slowed down near kanadapalayam,i told my mother "amma enna edam(place) ma idhu errangi veetuke poidalam ma,venam ma"and she stared at me.An over enthu parent before me turned back and asked "thambi,kishkintha pakuthula irrukunu sonnanga? and i replyed "naanum edhan first time varen" with my noses covered.We somehow reached the college after a big journey.As it was the firt time i am seeing the college,i was quite perplexed to see the huge pillars.I could hardly find some known faces in the college,who belonged to my school.Then started the induction day function.Everyone spoke as if they are politicians for years and chairman's speech was absolutely bullshiting everyone out there.I was virtually sunburnt after the speech was over by these distinguished gentlemen.When the dynamic secretary(now static) told arusuvai virundhu is ready for everyone.Hearing the word arusuvaiI told my mother "paaru ma,college sapaduku arusuvai natrajan than catering pola irruku".Again some advices followed and we had a sumptous lunch and returned home.Day-2 coming soon.....

THE TERROR Incident that happened to me

The incident happened when i was in 6th standard.Myself and sai were very close at that time and decided to play cricket after the school hours.I told him "dei namma mattum vilaydina bore da....Hari,Jaiu,Aravi yum koopdalam".When we both spoke to them about it they told "engalakku friday scouts class da,adha mudichitu naanga vaarom neenga wait pannunga".As playing cricket was the sole aim of myself and sai,we agreed to them.Our school(P.S Senior Secondary school)closes by 2:45 and the scouts classes startsat 3 and usually goes upto 4.We waited in the bigshed(a place where my school functions were held at that time).Very close to that bigshed "merry go round" was newly put up for kindergarden children.On seeing that we both decided to have a try.Before getting into merry go round,we played "sarruku maram".The time was 3:30 by then,i told him "namma shed la poi catches vilayaadalam" and he replied we will play "sarruku maram" for a few more minutes and then go.Then came the terror moment of my life.I told him "sarrku maram lam vendam,namma merry go round polam".

First it was my turn,he revolved it very slow which made me jump from it without hurting.Later he sat and i revolved it.I revolved it very fastly and he shouted "dei bayama irrku da,thala suthuthu",as i enjoyed revolving it i was least bothered about him.Suddenly i tried to stop it by placing my hands in the bar in which he used to rest his hands.The merry go round revolved at the rate of 60revolutions/minute.When i kept my hand in the handle,his nose hit my elbow.The merry go round stopped and to my surprise his white shirt turned red.I was speechless and felt that he is having his last minutes with me.I dont know what to do.I ran and got some water for him,he was even unable to drink that.Blood was gushing from his nose,no one was there in the school except the scouts students.As the time was four,i decided to call them.When i was about to call them they themselves were coming towards the big shed.

I thought of running away from the scene and aravi saw me.He asked me "sai engada?team pottu tingala?".I started crying to him and told what happened.Later the other fellows too joined and helped sai.As he was bleeding,he started to blabber also."Neraya rattham poiduchu,naa setthu poiduvena?" and other guys started looking at me as if i had commited a big crime.But due to god's grace things were fine and he survived from that blow.I was unable to sleep that night and was worried that his parents would make this matter a big issue.Thank God,they left it as it is.

Other tools in blogsphere

I like to continue with the other blogging tools briefly that are used in blogsphere.In somecases additional modules and plug-ins can add functionality to the blogs depending upon the tools.The other blogging tools that are used are:

1.Typepad

Typepad is one of Six Apart's hosted half blogging software services and one that has has proved very popular with journalistic blogging efforts.The Typepad pricing schemeand features are divided into three levels namely Basic,Plus and Pro.Design customization is extremely limited at the Basic level and only fully accessible at the Pro level.For group blogging and other publishing access typepad is the best.It costs$4,.95-$14.95 depending on level of service chosen.

2.Blogware

Tucows is the creator of Blogware blog software package,a robust system with a great selection of top blogging tools.Blogware like Typepad,can be difficult to customize,even for an experienced HTML jockey.However it also provides a fair number of optionswithin the administration interface to let you set up layouts and styles without getting into the templates.It costs varies by reseller,but expect to pay $8-$15 a month.

3.WordPress

WordPress is another famous blogging tools that is preferred next to Blogger.It is solid,powerful blogging system ideal for publishers who are bothered about tge budgetbut who dont want to give up any functoinality.Each WordPress post is formatted with search engine friendly URLs that also good to humans.Comments in Wordpress can be extensively moderated.We can also filter comments containing certain words or morethan a certain number of linkss.Moreever it allows you to categorize blogs,set criteria for the for the display order of links,and turn off and on visibilty.You can import and existing blogroll for some link manager services.

My favourite "Blogger"

The "blogger" dosent mean any persons in the blogsphere.I am just talking about the blogging tool thats been widely used all over the world.Now let me tell about this briefly.

Blogger is a free,hosted blogging tool.Its one of the oldest blogging tools and today has millions of users.It jus promises that the users will star blogging within 10 minutes of coming to the site and it in fact deliver on that.This tool is about the simplest one around,and though frr,nonetheless has an impressive array of features.One unusual feature of Blogger is the integration with the Audioblogger service.Program the Audioblogger number into your phone and you can put audio recordings on your blog quickly by simply calling the number and recording yourself.This offering is unique among blog software packages.Blogger is perfect for the future blogger who's in a hurry and less than intrested in design customization.
If your priority is to start blogging now,you cant do better than Blogger.
