It’s no joke: The United States’ first-ever laughing championship takes place Saturday in San Luis Obispo, Calif., and a few dozen gigglers, guffawers and chortlers will yuck it up in hopes of winning the coveted title of “California’s Best Laugher.”
We’re serious: It’s a laughing contest and the contestants will compete in events such as “Best Diabolical Laugh” and “Most Contagious Laugh” and face off in “Laughter Duels” to see who can make the other person crack up most.

They have a fascination with luggage carousels and park benches. They enjoy watching paint dry and, around this time of year, sap drip. These are the members of the Dull Men’s Club, and they don’t care if they bore you.

The club, which Carlson founded in New York City with a few bored — and boring — pals in the mid-’80s, has remained true to its founder’s words. It’s never grown, it’s never held an event and it’s never had a membership drive…

Grooving with Grover!
Before that little red punk Elmo showed up and started scoring all the big interviews and plum assignments, Grover was the top fuzzy monster on Sesame Street. Times change, and any monster will tell you, life out on the Street can be hard. Out-hustled and out-cuted, Grover’s just another monster on the block.

Craigslisp allows you to browse regular Craigslist, but instead of the voice in your head being yours, somehow that kid from your third grade class pops in there. Or Daffy Duck. Or a person who’s missing a few teeth…
