Etsomnia™ Volume 89: Bringing Up Baby

Story time: My daughter once loaded up her diaper so enthusiastically, poop shot up her back and bounced off her head. Mercifully, the cleanup is a blur (at one point we were both in the bathtub crying), but I’m sure I didn’t stop to shape the stuff into bunny ears.
Et·som·ni·a (/etˈsämnēə/), noun, 1. a sleep disorder caused by obsessive Etsy browsing. 2. the surprising arrival of weird handmade merchandise ordered when one is only half conscious. (True story.)
DISCLAIMER: Though I do enjoy a good joke, and Etsomnia™ is one of my favorite things, my intention is never to discourage artists or makers of any kind. All wisecracks and criticism are meant for humorous effect only. Please take them as seriously as they are meant, which is not at all.

As bad as it all is, I am most intrigued by the fake mustaches marching across the chest.

Late Afternoon Belly Laugh!
While I ate my lunch today, I listened to Stephen Colbert’s Talks at Google interview. It was all really good, but his answer to the last question asked culminated in a story so hilarious I had to stop eating for fear of choking to death. If you have the time, give the whole interview a listen. If you don’t, here’s his answer to a question about why he chose comedy.
WARNING: Do not eat or drink during this video.
Epilogue: I just went in to use the bathroom at work and the story popped into my head. It started me uncontrollably laugh-crying all over again. I may be asked to leave the premises very soon.
