Medievil Madness at Timeline Fair

Sometimes it is just great to just get away from technology for a while. And during this break time, why not have a peek back into the olden days. Here at Passy World that is exactly what we did last weekend at the Renaissance Timeline Fair in Berwick Australia.

Here is a link to their website: http://www.timelinefair.org.au/

The Archery and Jousting demonstrations were definitely our favorite part of the day. My friend Athena and I both took lots of photos, and Athena's photos of the jousting were particularly good.

The following Wondershare slideshow contains a selection of our photos.

(Note that it is quite a big slideshow and may take a while to load in).

Finally here is some great video footage by Edward Pearse of the Jousting and Armored combat from the Renaissance Timeline Fair.



Well that's enough horsing around from us for a while.

The Zebra would certainly have been sure to cross the road at a Zebra Crossing.

Tommy Cooper Friday Funny

Image Source: http://www.art247.com

Tommy Cooper was a British comedian with a darn good sense of humor. This week we salute the work of this marvelous man.

Tommy started off his performing life as a Magician. However he quickly found that if he messed up the magic tricks, then people would laugh and enjoy his act more than if the tricks went okay. He thus set about becoming the "idiot magician". His shows were always exciting and unpreditable, and this built him up an immense following, and made him very famous.

Here is an amazing video of his famous "Bottle and the Glass" trick.



Now for another video that shows the typical magician comedian at work.



Tommy also did stand up comedy. Here is a collection of some of his best one liners.

1. Two blondes walk into a building..........you'd think at least one of them would have seen it.

2. Phone answering machine message - '...If you want to buy marijuana, press the hash key...'

3. A guy walks into the psychiatrist wearing only Clingfilm for shorts. The shrink says, 'Well, I can clearly see you're nuts.'

4. I went to buy some camouflage trousers the other day but I couldn't find any.

'No, the steaks are too high.'

6. My friend drowned in a bowl of muesli. A strong currant pulled him in.

7 . A man came round in hospital after a serious accident. He shouted, 'Doctor, doctor, I can't feel my legs!'
The doctor replied, 'I know you can't, I've cut your arms off'.

8. I went to a seafood disco last week and pulled a muscle.

9. Two Eskimos sitting in a kayak were chilly.. They lit a fire in the craft, it sank, proving once and for all that you can't have your kayak and heat it.

10. Our ice cream man was found lying on the floor of his van covered with hundreds and thousands. Police say that he topped himself.

11. Man goes to the doctor, with a strawberry growing out of his head.
Doc says 'I'll give you some cream to put on it.'

12. 'Doc I can't stop singing 'The Green, Green Grass of Home'
'That sounds like Tom Jones syndrome. '
'Is it common?'
'It's not unusual.'

13. A man takes his Rotteweiller to the vet. 'My dog is cross-eyed, is there anything you can do for him?'
'Well,' said the vet, 'let's have a look at him'
So he picks the dog up and examines his eyes, then he checks his teeth. Finally, he says, ‘I’m going to have to put him down.' 'What? Because he's cross-eyed?'
'No, because he's really heavy'

14. Guy goes into the doctor’s. 'Doc, I've got a cricket ball stuck up my bottom.'
'How's that?'
'Don't you start.'

18. Apparently, 1 in 5 people in the world are Chinese. There are 5 people in my family, so it must be one of them. It's either my mum or my Dad, or my older brother Colin, or my younger brother Ho-Cha-Chu. But I think it’s Colin.

19. Two fat blokes in a pub, one says to the other ‘Your round.' The other one says 'So are you, you fat bastard!'

20. Police arrested two kids yesterday, one was drinking battery acid, and the other was eating fireworks. They charged one and let the other one off.

21. ‘You know, somebody actually complimented me on my driving today. They left a little note on the windscreen. It said, 'Parking Fine.' So that was nice.'

22. A man walked into the doctors, he said, 'I've hurt my arm in several places'
The doctor said, ‘Well don't go there anymore’

23.. Ireland ’s worst air disaster occurred early this morning when a small two-seater Cessna plane crashed into a cemetery. Irish search and rescue workers have recovered 2826 bodies so far and expect that number to climb as digging continues into the night.

Here are two crazy Tommy Cooper sketches in the one video, involving hats.



And one more video showcasing Tommy's bent talents, where he plays two characters at the same time in a story telling session.



Tommy Cooper died on stage performing live for British TV in 1984.

There is a society for him at this web address:

To finish off this post, here is a great video about his life and death.



Hope you have a great weekend full of fun and magic.

Friday Funny at the Cricket

Image Source: http://www.gulliverstravel.co.uk

Here at Passy World we are not really cricket fans at all. We certainly won't be spending our time in front of the TV watching the games. We would much rather be at the beach than at the cricket during our upcoming hot Australian summer.

In fact Cricket can get so boring, that even the players sometimes nod off and need to wake each other up.


Image Source: http://menscrunch.com

Looks like the whole team is desperately needing a quiet nap at this match.


Image Source: http://cache.daylife.com

This match might be so boring that the person sitting behind this inconsiderate lady may not be missing that much at all.


Image Source: http://1.bp.blogspot.com

What the game of cricket definitely needs is some exciting entertainment.
We are sure that random on-field guests could wake any sleeping viewer during particularly long and boring test matches.

Let's take a look at this compilation of great funny moments in cricket.



Cricket Jokes

A friend asked George, "Tell me, is your daughter's fiancée a good catch?"
- "Good catch?" answered George. "Dammit, he's the best fielder we've got in the side!"

The cricketer was proud of his progress as a batsman and invited his mother-in-law along to watch him play, hoping to impress her.
At the crease, he turned to the wicket-keeper and said 'I'm anxious to do well and really hit this ball. That's my wife's mother over there.'
'Don't be silly,' said the wicket-keeper. 'You'll never hit her from this far away.

George spent every Sunday playing cricket. It finally got too much for his wife , who exploded, 'Cricket! All you ever think about is cricket! I think I'd drop dead if you stayed home on Sunday!'
'Now then, dear,' said George. 'It's no use trying to bribe me.'

An expectant father rang the hospital to see how his wife was getting on. By mistake he dialed the number for Lord's.
"How's it going?" he asked.
"Fine," came the answer, "We've got two out already and hope to have the rest out before lunch. The last one was a duck.

Two onlookers were talking during the village cricket match.
'The batsman was late for the first delivery,' observed one.
'He always is,' said the other. 'That's our milkman.'

Not sure why all the guys need to be standing so close to each other in the field set up below. Maybe they are sharing a single brain between them?

Lack of intelligence is a common problem during cricket matches. Here a veteran umpire is trying to explain what the round red thingy is used for.


Image Source: http://static.guim.co.uk

This guy looks like he should be playing in a Jimi Hendrix tribute band, rather than spending a whole day on the grass.


Image Source: http://www.smh.com.au

Perhaps the game needs smartening up using modern technology like this.


Image Source: http://1.bp.blogspot.com

And some of the stupidity in cricket extends far beyond the players.

Here is a video made by the cricket commentators. These guys aren't exactly the sharpest knives in the draw at the best of times.



Lucky there are always plenty of officials on hand at international matches to keep things on track.


Image Source: http://farm4.static.flickr.com

The officials are certainly very thorough in their inspections of all participants.

That's it for another week for us. Have a great weekend and watch out for those swinging spin bowlers.

4. Goose! Bogey at 2 o'clock....and another one on our tail!!!! Eject!!!! Eject!!!!!!!

5. (As the plane turns around right after takeoff)....uhhhhh....we have to go back ....we ..we ....uhhhhhh ....forgot something.....

6. This is your Captain speaking....these stupid planes are a lot different than the ships I'm used to.. so you'll have to give me some leeway...

7. It would be a good idea if right now everyone closed their shades and watched the in-flight movie.

8. We've now reached our cruising altitude of 20,000 feet and ... Oh noooooooo!!!!!..

9. Don't worry! That one is always on E...

10. Hey capt'n take another hit man...


Make yourself comfortable, and try not to think at all about what might have happened to your checked in luggage.

Rest assured that it is safely in the wonderful hands of these good old boys.





Aviation Joke

Two blondes were flying to Miami from Cleveland. Fifteen minutes into the flight, the captain announced "One of the engines has failed and the flight will be an hour longer. But don't worry we have three engines left".

Thirty minutes later, the captain announced "One more engine has failed and the flight will be two hours longer. But don't worry we have two engines left".

An hour later the capain announced "One more engine has failed and the flight will be three hours longer. But don't worry we have one engine left".

One blonde looked at the other the other blonde and said "If we lose one more engine, we'll be up here all day"

Isn't it nice to see all parts both inside and outside the engines fully functioning while airborne:

So if we need to see some more silly things that can happen on planes, we need to watch the following video. This one is the trailer from one of the funniest airplane movies ever: "Airplane" which was made back in 1980.



Over the last few years the airline industry certainly has become competitive. In fact, things are very competitive between rival airlines and their pilots.

Fun things to do on long Airplane flights to kill time...

• Pinch the stewardess' butt as she passes.

• When two people kiss in the in flight movie, say "oh yeah!" really loud.

• When there's any nudity, hoot really loudly for a few minutes.

• Fart loudly and act shocked, looking around to see who did it.

• Fiddle around with the emergency exit, then ask a fellow passenger if he has a crowbar.

• Run down the aisle screaming, "He's got a bomb! He's got a bomb!".

• Go into the bathroom and make rude bodily noises, then come out looking refreshed.

• Lead a bible study session in the back of the plane.

• Start a hot dog stand.

• Steal a businessman's laptop, and play solitaire on it.

• Remark that perhaps you shouldn't have put super glue in your underpants that morning.

• Show off your Batman underwear.

• Switch accents and see if anyone notices.

• Sneak into the cockpit and hit the warning alarm.

• Go into the cockpit, flick on the intercom light, then loudly inquire as to why the fuel dial says "e".
  

• Tell corny jokes and laugh like it's absolutely hilarious, then expect others to do the same.

• Ride carry-on luggage down the aisle, yelling "Yeee-ha!".

• With a desperate look, ask the stewardess where the bathroom is, then look relieved and say "Never mind. Do you have any towels?".

• Jump up and scream "AAAHHH!! I left the stove on!!".

• Ask someone for their autograph, pretending that you think they're Kevin Costner or Goldie Hawn (This best then the person looks nothing like the movie star in question)

• Pretend you're flying the plane.

• Yell to someone "Is it time to hijack the plane yet?" (Note: Do this when there are stewardesses nearby).

Joke Source: Somewhere on The Internet

And here is one more fun thing to do on a flight if you happen to have you camera phone handy.



So that concludes this week's in-flight entertainment. Please return your smiles to their normal positions, and fasten your seat belts for an action packed landing just like this one.
