Never Is the Next New Thing

It Came From the Blogosphere

by

My gorgeous sister, Terri Berry, is an enthusiastic and dramatic story-teller who uses the word “literally” liberally. As in, “He was 2000 years old, literally!” even though she’s talking about a living person, not the Lindow Man. Obviously she knows what “literally” means! This is just her way of adding some zing to her story.

Anyway, these animal-related blog posts made me laugh my ass off. Literally! I’m assless. Check out:

  1. funny round up.

    that story of Nikki and Laraine is just spectacular.

    thank you for sharing, Wendy.

  2. Laughing my own ass off at those squirrels, and wiping away a tear from the story of Nikki.

    My younger brother always says, “Just the other day I was…” or “The other day x happened.” and it could be up to 10 years ago, usually at least 6 months.

  4. The Best Fashion Story Ever is just that! The best! The photo of the squirrels is very funny.

  6. Personal pet peeve… people who misuse the word “literally”…

    of course then we can get into trouble… case in point the Olympics Opening Ceremonies…

    They said that OC were very cinematic… and they were showing the fireworks “approaching” the stadium and mentioned that they were literally cinematic… Of course my wife and I just rolled our eyes… until we realized the next day that they were actually right… the fireworks WERE literally cinematic… they were computer generated and weren’t real!

  7. Holy crap – I wish my mom knew how to use a computer because I would love to send that raccoon video her way!

    Nice roundup 🙂

  11. WendyB: You are such a sweetheart! Thanks for the shout out!!! It is so good to be back. I missed you too much to stay away.
    I am literally blown away by your endless support.;-)
    Can’t wait to read the animal stories and more of your bloggy friends.

  13. That was the best goose related blog post I’ve ever read. Literally!

    I think your sister is on to something, that comment really had some pizazz!

  14. A big ‘WTF?’ at the raccoon video.

    I got all excited when I saw your sister’s name. I thought you were gonna say she had the baby.

  16. so funny to read this since i used to have a HUGE issue when people used the term ‘literally’ in the wrong context. i even have heard sportscasters talking about a game when a football player got tired and say, ‘oh man, that guy sure is beat…he literally hit a wall out there!’ um….no, that would be figuratively, buddy.

  18. I came back to say that I’m sorry for saying “pizazz” on your blog.

    I promise never to do that again.

  20. Wendy, Thanks. It is so good to hear from you. I am waiting to see if I have to leave. The hills by house are on fire. Lots of action here. Helicopters, fire engines, etc. Maybe i will turn up in N.Y.

  21. Thanks for the shout out too my page, my traffic was absolutely crazy this morning! Which is a good thing, of course.

  22. My google analytics did the ol’ rattlesnake:

    ________/

    and I knew someone linked to me! I’m sorry you’re missing your butt. And I’m glad you like mini sheep.

  23. o yes i saw those dolls, creepy, yet fascinating, i was on that website just gasping at those dolls
