SHAGGY BLOG STORIES
Red Nose Day is upon us soon. It's red nose day most mornings for me, until I've liberally applied Estee Lauder Maximum Cover nos 5 and 7 (oh yes, I blend my own shade of foundation. You don't think I wake up looking this good do you?).
Our Teuchter* friend in California, Sam, has alerted me to the following Worthy Project which involves contributing a post to an anthology of funny blog posts being compiled by Troubled Diva, proceeds to go to Comic Relief to the tune of £3 or £4 per book sold.
This is where you come in. Which one should I contribute? It should be short, and of course funny. I've got such a hectic weekend that I haven't got time to plough through my great opus of hilariousness, so I need your help. Which one made you laugh most?
You might as well help me do this, as I certainly wouldn't be seen dead in public wearing a plastic red nose. And please buy the book too, whether or not I'm in it.
* Teuchter = Scots term meaning peasant.

Too may to choose from but What older women want might be good.
Mes amis, vous êtes "brillant" comme ce montreur de marionnette, que j'ai vu en prestation au petit théatre de Lyon. Il disait agitant ses marionnettes :"Gnaffron tape sur Guignol! Je contrôle tout ils sont en mon pouvoir. Montreur de marionnette c'est vraiment le métier le plus sexy du monde!" .. J'ai acquiescé , parce que j'aime pas faire de la peine aux gens. N'empêche que quand je suis allé à la kermesse de Rouanne y'avait un autre montreur de marionnette avec une verrue sur le nez, et bien à ce spectacle, Gnaffron tapait toujours sur Guignol.
I like SAUCISSONAL GREETINGS very much and the one Cream chose is indeed very good. So many of your posts made me laugh a lot and I must admit I haven't read them all, I may not have found 'the best' yet.
And what I forgot to say is, you guys should submit something too! (That's all of you, not just Cream and MK - sorry Crabtree, it's British bloggers only).
Dip-Dop, Red Nose Day c'est un telethon annuel organise par les comediens et comiques en GB au mois de mars, afin d'appuyer divers projets en GB et le monde. L'annee derniere ils ont recu une somme phenomenale comme 50 millions d'euros. C'est devenu un evenement national, beaucoup de gens ordinaires (y compris les blogueurs!) font quelque chose pour contribuer et s'amusent en meme temps. Si Saint Coluche etait toujours parmi nous, il aurait lance la version francaise, paix a son pif rouge.
Just a word to the wise. as I have discovered, whatever you offer has to have been a post as i discoverd to my cost. Good luck everybody.
Daphnée, my girl, your French is very good.
J'arrive à peine à déceler que tu fais partie de l'aristocracie Britannique...
I, personellement have submitted my Algerian Haggis post for le Nez Rouge...
My word, Teuchters and the Blue Nile! It's like a, a (wipes tear from bloodshot eye) a homecoming so it is.
As you may or may not know, I never, well rarely, laugh out loud (lol as the young would have it)on the blogs, but I did once here. It was when you described being wolfwhistled at and you were so grateful you took them thankyou letters and sanwiches the next day.
It's funnier when you tell it.
OR just send them a fiver and be done. They'll only spend it on strong drink.
sanDwiches.
That one Cream said is the same one. Christ I should pay more attention.
Being Greek, I do not fit in the British bloggers. I'm merely writing in Engrish, not to mention that I didn't write anything funny enough to be sent. But I will contribute to this worthy project more substantially, buying at least one anthology.
So true, Daphne, if Coluche was still alive, we would most certainly have the French version. By the way, do you have something like 'les restos du coeur' in the UK?
Dr Maroon is right! I have traced it to Saturday 12 August 2006.
That wolfwhistling one was a cracker, lady D.
Daphne, your French is excellent, perfect,
Pour ce qui est de Coluche, et des restos du cœur, j’y ai participé comme bénévole !!
Pour ce qui est des nez rouges, cela existe aussi chez nous ! Contre les maladies rares, dites orphelines.
Le nez de clown, c’est le rire et la joie. Il symbolise le pied de nez que nous adressons à la maladie, il témoigne de notre combat contre l’indifférence qui entoure encore trop souvent les maladies rares et les personnes qui en sont atteintes. « Dont je suis ! »
Bonne chance aux bloggeurs anglais
Dear Friends, thank you for your thoughts and suggestions. Your appreciation of my wit and wisdom is touching. I'm surprised you all agreed on that What Older Women Want post, I thought there were some much funnier. But we'll see, there are so many great funny bloggers out there, I will probably not even be selected. In which case I will put on a red nose.
I think it is an excellent initiative, in any case, and as I will be back in Blighty shortly, I will certainly buy at least one copy myself, whoever's in it.
I'm also sure there must be much funnier posts than 'what older women want', I even read very funny ones from the days in Poland. As I already admitted, I haven't read them all yet and didn't have much time either this past week-end.
Daphne, we just love whatever you write and I'm sure you will find the most suitable for 'red nose' by yourself.
(have a nice stay in Blighty - me? no, not yet Daphne. Please threaten to shoot me, then I might well call)
Funniest I found!!! But as my opinion nobody interests!!! I will continue pouffer to laugh"outre-manche"
That's it Crabtree, you carry on pouffing away, and thank you for the compliments on my French. I presume "Gnaffron" and "Guignol" are the French Punch and Judy? I think they've been banned in England, as a bad example of domestic violence to show young children.
(Working backwards) MK, I'm glad someone has read the Poland stuff, I'm quite proud of some of that. I don't know of any equivalent of Les Restos du Coeur in UK, I think the dear old Sally Army takes care of feeding our own homeless, while St Bono of Geldof & co. swan around Africa being glamorous and stealing babies.
Doc, my next post is going to have a very tartan flavour, so get your kleenex ready.
Pat, have you submitted something to the Shaggy Blog Stories book? You are now the grande dame of blogging, I think you should have your own TV show.
Cream, I have eaten Algerian haggis, or osbane - and very tasty it is too. Sheep shaggers across the world are all very similar.
Then there this is humor! I grant you with "joy my buddy" a beautiful red nose!
Doi-je I on my blog to change your picture??
