That'd be "humour" for my non-American readers.
Either way you spell it, it's abstruse.

Comin' to see Uncle Mike
This was the summer of '76, I am fairly sure. I had just bought some sort of Instamatic, guess it would've been a Polaroid. The film was horribly expensive and each photo cost nearly a dollar.
These have always been two of my favorite photos, not just because I love my nephews, but they made me think I "might" have an eye for taking a decent photo.
I was deluding myself, but I'll blame that on being young.
Been there
Heavy eyelids, slack jaw, a bit of drool and the expression of a blithering idiot.
This could describe a lot of folks after a Thanksgiving meal or a night of excessive drinking, but it describes ME for most of my life.

What? No Pink Robes?
I am SO happy today!
Can't remember if I told you about the horrid personal attack I rec. after commenting in a political board's HP thread that JK. Rowling *might* have interjected some anti-American bias into her next-to-last book, perhaps even more subtle references in others.
Well, yesterday she came out in an interview and said that Dumbledore was gay.
ROFLMBO
Here's a bit of the interview:
Did Dumbledore, who believed in the prevailing power of love, ever fall in love himself?
My truthful answer to you... I always thought of Dumbledore as gay. [ovation.] ... Dumbledore fell in love with Grindelwald, and that that added to his horror when Grindelwald showed himself to be what he was. To an extent, do we say it excused Dumbledore a little more because falling in love can blind us to an extend, but he met someone as brilliant as he was, and rather like Bellatrix he was very drawn to this brilliant person, and horribly, terribly let down by him. Yeah, that's how i always saw Dumbledore.
In fact, recently I was in a script read through for the sixth film, and they had Dumbledore saying a line to Harry early in the script saying I knew a girl once, whose hair... [laughter]. I had to write a little note in the margin and slide it along to the scriptwriter, "Dumbledore's gay!" [laughter] If I'd known it would make you so happy, I would have announced it years ago!
PERFECT!!!! This is going to drive that extreme rightwinger outta his gourd. Well, I'm gonna chauffer the jalopy, but...he'll go nuts.
NO WONDER I heard swishing when Dumbledore walked by; I always thought it was his robes. NO WONDER he was so good with his wand; limp wrist, you know. NO WONDER Dumbledore's "wand" was so powerful!
I am going to have SO much fun with this.
Just wish Brad was here to enjoy this too.
