Funny One’s Back!

Hello Funny One here. I’ve had a slight glitch with my blog, but it’s all sorted now and I’m back! Hurrah! What did I do on my two days off? Set up a Funny One website, eat some chocolate easter eggs, make cotton candy, some whittling, do some more rewriting, build a pyramid out of sugar cubes, dress up as a clown, bake some cup cakes and dance.

Director Funny

Hello Funny One here. Today I filmed my sister doing some monologues. I don’t think I did too bad. My sister did great. She’s a mixture of Meryl Streep and Kate Winslet. I also did another funny one cartoon. I even drew my sister (Miss Loca) in it. She’s the one I filmed today. I hope you like it. Here it is.

Jelly-Bean Dreamin’ of California

Hello it’s the Funny One here. Today’s state is California. In one picture, I’m with a famous actor who I think will one day win an Oscar. The other one is me and him in Berkeley. Come for the culture, stay for the food.

What is there to do in California? You can visit the Universal Studios in Hollywood and see where they make the movies. I can’t go on the tour as I’ll be busy filming for a Spielberg movie. Hehehehehe. Maybe, one day. Anyways, You can see where all the famous actors have left there handprints in the ground. There’s also the Hollywood Museum where you will see exhibits of authentic Hollywood memorabilia treasures and a special Walk of Fame exhibit.

There’s also the GRAMMY Museum which celebrates the enduring legacies of all forms of music. The GRAMMY Museum debuted a new exhibit to Michael Jackson on June 25, 2011, and it pays tribute to his life and legacy. The display is a follow-up to the Museum’s past exhibitions, Michael Jackson: HIStyle and Michael Jackson: A Musical Legacy. It is housed on the Museum’s third floor, which the launch of the new exhibit coinciding with the second anniversary of MJ’s death.

The Cartoon Art Museum; exhibits pieces that represent the history of modern development of cartoons, their creators, the designs, and also processes underlying the art forms of cartoons, comics, digital animation, illustration, and video games. The Museum also hosts dozens of events throughout the year, including book signings, creator appearances, lectures and workshops. They also offer a wide range of programs and classes in cartooning, illustration, and animation. That would be cool to do.

Let’s not forget the Golden Gate Bridge which is one of the most internationally recognized symbols of San Francisco, California. It’s has also been declared one of the modern Wonders Of The World by the American Society Of Civil Engineers. It’s also seen in the movie “Rise of The Planet Of The Apes.”

There’s Alcatraz prison; which once was home to some of America’s most notorious criminals. There were even the presence of infamous inmates like Al “Scarface” Capone, and the “Birdman” Robert Stroud. It operated there from 1934 to 1963. Even to this day, Alcatraz is best known as one of the world’s most legendary prisons. There was even a TV series about the prison. It’s a crime that they’re not doing a second series!

There’s also the Jelly Belly factory. There’s a 40-minute walking tour of the factory and a guide will show you where they cook up over 150 different sweet treats. Also, you’ll learn the secrets to how they create the legendary Jelly Belly jelly bean, and why it takes more than a week to make a single bean. Really? It must take forever to make a bag of them. I wonder if they still sell the Harry Potter jelly beans in America. They only sold them in Britain when the first movie was in the cinema. Mmmm jelly belly. http://jellybelly.com/

Now, on to places to stay. Why stay in a cliché hotel when you can stay at the Treebones Resort. “It’s a tent with all the comforts of a cabin. Sleep under the stars but in a bed.” http://treebonesresort.com/ 

 

There’s Nothing Wimpy about South Dakota!!!

Hello, Funny One here. I went to the cinema with my mom and sisters to see the movie “Diary Of A Wimpy Kid 3 – Dog Days” today. It’s so funny! I loved the scene where Rodrick gets the kiss of life from some bald guy! hahahaha You should go see it! It was really busy there. Someone made a shitty smell. I mean really shitty! Think of a really bad shitty smell and times it by ten, then double it! Plus, add a skunk fart and a hint of baby-bio then you’ve got it. Speaking of shit, I almost bought a huge poster of Justin Bieber. I know what you’re thinking. Why the hell would I buy a Justin Bieber poster? I was buying more Batman and Spiderman posters today and the Batman and Bieber ones got mixed up. They both had the number 3 on them. I only discovered it was the wrong poster when I noticed a check shirt on it. Anyways, I put it back and got the right one. Phew!

What can you do in South Dakota? You can see Mount Rushmore. On the 4th of July, there is a firework display from the top of the monument. That would be super cool to see!

You want to know more about the history of South Dakota, then you can visit these places: The Broken Boot Gold Mine, where informed guides will show you where the miners pursued gold ore veins with black powder and candlelight. Also there is the Four Mile Old West Town, Black Hills Caverns, Black Hills Mining Museum, and The Mitchell Prehistoric Indian Village, which is the only archaeological site in South Dakota that is open to the public. You should definitely go then. Visitors to the site will be able to see the many artifacts that have been excavated during the annual digs. You will even be able to have a tour to see the dig site itself in the comfort of the Thomsen Center Archeodome.

Do you like reptiles? If yes then visit the Reptile Gardens. You will see the five reptiles: snakes, crocodilians, lizards, turtles and tuatara. http://www.reptilegardens.com/

Kevin Costner has a bar there! I didn’t know that. It’s called the Midnight Star. Get drunk and look at his movie costumes.

What about teddy bears? If you do there’s the Teddy Bear Town,  and is home to the Guinness World Record’s “Largest Teddy Bear Collection.”  There are over 7,500 different Teddy Bears. Different colors and sizes. It is also listed in Ripley’s Believe It or Not.

There’s even a Corn Palace. It’s open all year round and it’s FREE to visit. I’ll have to go and visit then. It’s never completely bare, so you can always see a building that is the World’s Largest Bird Feeder! Also you can get a Corn Palace T-shirt, Caramel Apple Cobs and even some Corn on the Cob Soap. http://www.cornpalace.org/

What about the candy? There’s a candy store called “Old Fashioned Fudge”, and they have 30 different types of fudge. Mmmmmm fudge.

Sellin’ some Grizzly Gold for a Jelly Belly

Hello, The Funny One here yet again. I just finished the funny pictures for the funny newspaper. Yeah! I just have to write something for them and that’s it. I’m sure it won’t take long. Hooray!

Ok, today’s state is Montana. In the pic, I’m at the Last Chance Tours which is home of the Last Chance Tour Trains and Trolley. It looks great! http://www.lctours.com/ There’s also the Last Chance Ranch. Ooooh, you can also have a wagon ride dinner. Mmmmmm wagon ride dinner. http://lastchanceranch.biz/

What about museums in Montana? There’s the World Museum of Mining. For the first time in the history of Butte, those who lost their lives in a mining, mill/smelter, concentrator, or railroad accident are now memorialized there at the World Museum of Mining. Four memorial walls have been constructed of polished black granite slabs, are sand-blasted with the names of over 2,500 men that lost their lives in the Silver Bow Mining District since 1865.

Another interesting place is The Mineral Museum, which, as you can kinda guess by the title, has lost of minerals. They wouldn’t notice if one went missing, would they? Another cool place to check out is The Historical Museum at Fort Missoula They have over 600 WWII posters available. Check out their website http://www.fortmissoulamuseum.org/ The Museum of the Rockies is home to one of the biggest and most important dinosaur collections in the world.

If you love wild animals then these places might be of interest: The Montana Grizzly Encounter is a Rescue & Education for Grizzly Bears center. It was Founded in 2004 and provides a spacious and natural home for rescued grizzlies. The Grizzly & Wolf Discovery Center ” is home to 8 wolves that live in two different packs and it’s also home to grizzly bears from as far away as Alaska and as close as Yellowstone National Park. In Gates Of The Mountains, you will see many birds and animals.”

Oh, there is also a Blue Jewel Mine. It operates from mid-April through the first freeze of the season. The Blue Jewel Mine is a great place to spend an afternoon mining for sapphires and gold. I wouldn’t say no to having some free sapphires!!

As I love candy, I couldn’t not mention where you can buy some – The Montana Candy Emporium!! They even sell Jelly Belly. Mmmmmm Jelly Belly.

Wild Tarrrrrget!

Hello, It’s me – the Funny One. I’ve almost finished my funny pictures for the funny newspaper. I’ll be done tomorrow. Hooray!

Ok, today’s state is South Carolina. In the pic, I’m hugging a tiger. There is a T.I.G.E.R. Preservation Station, which is a free-living tiger exhibit. It raises money for the rarest tigers on Earth – the Golden Tabby tiger. It’s your chance to see the world’s rarest tigers up close and free from cages. You will be able to see Siberian Tigers, Bengal Tigers, Royal White Bengal Tigers and even the Golden Tabby Tiger. If you love wild animals, then you’ll also want to visit the Alligator Adventure. You’ll find yourself face to face with some really ferocious and magnificent animals.

What about fun events? There’s the Greek Festival. They are held January through November in America. Delicious Greek food, music, dancing and much entertainment.  That sounds like so much fun! “Opa!” There’s also the Beach, Boogie & BBQ Festival. Boogie and eat. Sounds good.

How about the restaurants? I found some that sound good, such as The Hank’s Seafood Restaurant which recreates Classic Charleston Fish House with an old-fashioned saloon-style bar and an exhibition raw bar. There’s also the FIG Restaurant, which stands for “Food Is Good”. I agree with that! The Bocci’s Italian Restaurant looks great! Also, they have Chianti – my favorite wine! The Joe Pasta also have Chianti. I would have a pizza and a Chianti.

What about some interesting things to do? There’s the Design and Wine. That’s where you drink wine and paint. Just don’t get the wine and the paint water mixed up. That won’t taste good. The Adluh Flour Mills, the Home of Adluh flour, where quality products have been milled there since 1900 and it’s located in the Historic Congaree Vista. The blinking neon sign has become a cultural icon for the City of Columbia. Explore the traditions of Allen Brothers Milling Company and learn more about the products that they proudly produce.

What about visiting the Patriots Point Naval & Maritime museum, and learn all about the Navy. The Columbia Marionette theater, where this summer are performing the classic story of Pinocchio. If you love weird then you’ll love the Believe It or Not! Odditorium. You can see a lot of weird and freaky things like a Tibetan Skull Mask, a 6-legged cow, a genuine shrunken head and a Justin Bieber Album. My favorite place I’d want to visit is the Sweeties Sweets candy store.  They have yummy chocolates. Mmmmm chocolates. http://www.sweetiessweets.com/
