I admit it: I love reading comics. My day is always slightly brighter when Dilbert says something funny or Garfield manages to trick Odie. Yet I’m hesitant to admit this too frequently lest someone mistake me for the 12-year-old girl Hubby often accuses me of being.
Perhaps that’s why I love the webcomic xkcd so much. Not only is it laugh out loud funny on a regular basis but the humor is smart and timely. Published three times a week on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday, xkcd is never boring or predictable. Stop by and scroll through some of their hilarious past offerings. Don’t forget to mouse over each comic when you’re done for a final snippet of commentary. Then come back and tell me about your ROTFL moments.
Since today’s theme is laughter, I thought this photo of the Hotel Dumbier in Slovakia would fit the bill. We were spending the day with two Slovakians when I stopped to snap this picture and giggle inappropriately. While our hosts were busy assuring me that dumbier meant [something] significant in Slovakian, Hubby was busy pretending that he was above such things and hadn’t laughed at the same thing two minutes earlier.

Thank you for the link.;) Yes, there is nothing like a good laugh.;)
So, I am Slovak, I was born in Slovakia and I speak Slovak fluently but Dumbier does not mean significant. In fact I am not sure it means anything at all, it seems just to be a name. Hmmm, I better check that with my mom.;)) I might have missed that one somehow.;)
Have a great weekend.;)

hahaha!!! too funny! well I'm Polish and I've never heard this word in Slovakian and our languages are quite similar! it doesn't even sound Slovakian at all but that's ok! probably I would be laughing like a crazy one when I saw it!
Thank you for stopping by on my blog!
I swear they said it meant something significant. *giggle* I wish i could ask them again what their definition was. They really were taken aback by my amusement. LOL
(I forgot the word "something" in the post somehow and have gone back and edited back in. D'oh!)
ha! i'm lovin' xkcd. thanks for the recommendation.

The cartoons are so adorable!
Love reading your post.

Thanks for visiting my site. I so wish I was you! I'd love to learn more about cleaning from other places! Visiting Germany next year to find out how German women really clean. Can you follow me and let me know what it is like in all those different places?
I love comics! I grew up with Asterix, Tintin and other so-called "western comics" and Japanese manga :)
I miss the Washington Post and 3 pages of comics!! I like xkcd too, and I know I can read most of my favorites online, but our connection sucks, so I tend not to. I had emergency surgery to deliver my son - 34 staples, exhaustion and hormonal imbalance meant I was totally out of control emotionally, and in a lot of pain. I still read the comics, even though it made me laugh like an insane woman, while crying from pain. Yep, I too am a comic addict.
Found you through it's A Beauty Filled Life.
LOVE this post!!
LOL
