Funny One 2012

Hello Funny One here. I thought I would just review some of my pictures from this year. I know I haven’t been on that long, just a few months.

This picture is of me and Andy Samberg in Hawaii. I just thought it would look funny if Andy was being the creep and sneaking up on me.

Goofy with beach boobs. There are no words for that.

Me at a rodeo. That would happen to me. Hehehehehe!

This picture is of me and Andy Samberg again. Captain Underpants is from Ohio. I just thought this would look really funny.

This is of me in a bath filled of cola. that would be pretty awesome. Sticky, but awesome.

This is me on Venus. My most like picture. 7 likes. I guess I didn’t do too bad with this picture then.

This is me on Neptune. I like the idea of drawing a picture all in blue. I thought it didn’t look too bad. What do you think?

This is one of my funny one cartoons. I know it’s a mad idea but one of my favorites.

Another one of my favorites. wouldn’t it be cool if you could send yourself by e-mail. I would only end up in the junk mail though. Hehehehehe!

This is probably my favorite picture. I wanted to get the lighting just right. I think it’s not bad.

Mitt Romney shooting big bird. I drew that one really quickly and don’t think it’s that bad.

A good fuck for good luck. I love this picture. My family love it too. My sister, Miss Loca said it’s one her favorite’s.

I just like to draw Andy Samberg. I love the episode with the cat. So funny!

This is what Andy Samberg would loo like as a character from Diary Of A Wimpy Kid. Cool! He looks great!

I’m really happy with this picture of President Obama.

This is my favorite part of the funny one boat series.

This is of Andy Samberg in the movie Celeste And Jesse Forever. Andy was amazing in that movie.

What are the Funniest Books?

Hello Funny One here. I just discovered the Bastarde books. Serge Bastarde Ate My Baguette: On the Road in Real Rural France and Son of Serge Bastarde: Mayhem in the Antiques Markets of Rural France. The first book, Serge Bastarde Ate My Baguette, John, who moves to France to start up as an antiques dealer, but he doesn’t count on meeting Serge Bastarde. The lovable rogue and brocanteur (secondhand goods dealer) offers to teach John the tricks of the trade in return for help in a series of corrupt schemes. As the pair travel through markets and farmhouses, they con hearty lunches from old peasants and get into scrapes with priceless collectibles. The book is filled with eccentric characters and unlikely adventures, this is a hilarious romp through the real rural France. The son of Serge Bastarde is about John’s unscrupulous yet affable partner in crime, Serge Bastarde, marries and moves to Martinique. But, like a bad penny, Serge returns, his personal life in ruins. What follows is a chaotic adventure which sees John being coerced into striking deals with the Romanian ‘mafia¡’, re-roofing a huge Basque house and getting trapped in a skip in the dead of night, while Serge rides an emotional roller coaster. Serge may be as fake as some of his antiques but, with John’s help, he eventually strikes gold in this laugh-out-loud romp. It makes me wonder if there are any other good funny books out there. I wouldn’t mind knowing. What are the funniest books? Well I love the Diary Of A Wimpy Kid series. So funny. Captain Underpants. George and Harold hypnotize their headteacher and accidentally create the greatest superhero in the history of their school — Captain Underpants! His real identity is so super secret that even HE doesn’t know who he is… but he’s fighting for truth, justice, and all things pre-shrunk and cottony!! Captain Underpants has wedgie-power on his side, and he’s coming your way! Super Diaper Baby is also super funny. A man is turned into a poo. I don’t know whats more funny than that? The Pirates! In an Adventure with Scientists is also a great book. It’s 1837, and the luxuriantly bearded Pirate Captain and his pirate crew, life on the high seas has gotten a little dull. They get bored and decide it’s time fort another adventure. A surprisingly successful boat raid leads them to the young Charles Darwin, in desperate need of their help. The pirates go to London in a bid to save the scientist from the evil machinations of an evil Bishop. I loved the movie. In the movie the Queen of England is in it instead of the evil bishop. Also another funny book is “The Twits” by Roald Dahl. Mr and Mrs Twit are extremely mean, so the Muggle-Wump monkeys and the Roly-Poly bird hatch a clever plan to give them just the horrifying surprise they deserve! J K Rowling’s new novel “The Casual Vacancy” is a dark comedy. I haven’t read it but I’ll be reading it soon. What are the funniest books? If anyone knows of any good humor books then I would love to know about them. Anyways, I thought as I’m writing about funny books I thought I would turn myself into a wimpy kid character. I also turned Andy Samberg into one too. Hehehehe!

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/

They have la caprese salad, tomato vodka cream pasta, alfredo sauce pasta, sorbet, tiramisu and crème brûlée. http://www.ruffinosrestaurant.com, The Little Village started with a raid. Back in 1945, a young entrepreneur, Vince Distefano was running a card game called Georgia Skin out of a leased building on Florida Boulevard. The men played for horses. Vince’s wife, Stephanie, made good tips cooking for the crowd. There was a surprise morning visit from a local sheriff and the entire inhabitants  including the Distefanos were hauled off to jail. The sheriff was not above the occasional “unofficial” visit the Distefano establishment and offered some sage advice, Get out of town – at least outside the city limits. So the family bought a wooded seven-acre fishing camp on Airline Highway from the Catholic Church and built a new place beyond the long arm of the law. As the games’ participants grew and the cars parked out front increased, travelers often mistook the building for a restaurant. Eventually, the Distefanos decided they might as well feed all those hungry motorists and The Village restaurant was born. http://www.littlevillagebr.com/  The Snug Harbor Jazz Bistro has provided the best in live jazz & great regional cooking at reasonable prices for over 30 years. It’s located in three rooms of a renovated 1800’s storefront located in the Faubourg Mariginy, just outside the French Quarter. They have a dining room, a bar, and a music room. they also have Chianti. They also have salmon and tuna. Mmmm salmon and tuna.

This free festival offers a full range of popular southern cuisine. Go and relax in Baton Rouge for the weekend.

He’s an artist that specializes in blown glass sculptures. They will be on display at the Chrysler Museum of Art in conjunction with his working visit to their Glass Studio.

Both of them are “products of the talent and skills of the Norfolk & Western personnel who designed and built these locomotives in the N & W’s own Roanoke Shops.” The Museum’s road exhibits present a history of transportation ranging from horse-drawn vehicles to modern high-powered cars and trucks. Did you know that in 2006, a severe storm blew off part of the museum’s roof, destroying the aviation gallery below? This gave the Museum an opportunity to rebuild the gallery from the ground up. Your financial contribution is needed to help complete the gallery and reopen this important resource.

When in Georgia

Hello Funny One Here. Today is my sister’s birthday so I’ll say happy birthday to her. Today I’ve been doing some drawing – two pictures for today’s state and some others I’ve been working on. Today’s state is Georgia. What is there to do in Georgia? Well there’s Legoland. As you can see, I have drawn myself as a Lego character with Spiderman and the Joker. I thought, why not? I also drew myself in a bath filled with Coca-Cola. My sister whose birthday is today thought I was in a cannon and my mum thought I was in a cola bottle!?! At the Coca-Cola factory they have a tour. I wouldn’t mind going. Another awesome thing, I just found out that there’s a Medieval Times in Georgia.That looks so cool. I have to go there!

What else is there to do? There are pumpkin festivals (I have to go to one) there’s the Albany Panthers (Whoo FOOTBALL!!!) plus a lot of other stuff, too like the Stone Mountain Park, Booth Western Museum, Folk Pottery Museum, Atlanta Cyclorama & Civil War Museum, and the Providence Canyon State Park. If you love nature then you’ll want to visit these following places: Dick’s Creek Falls, Sweetwater Creek State Park, Callaway Gardens, the Atlanta Botanical Garden, Rock City Gardens. But, if you’d like to learn more about American history then you can go to the Civil War Village of Andersonville, and the Chickamauga. Anyways, I’ll leave it there for now. As they say in Rome (Italy, not Rome, Georgia!), ciao!

Dollywood and Vine

Hello, Funny One Back again. I drew a few funny pictures today. Two of them are for today’s state which is Tennessee. I know I said I would do one picture a day but I had two ideas and couldn’t decide which one to do so I did both. I may do more pictures for some states. Anyways, things to do in Tennessee – visit Graceland,  the home of Elvis Presley in Memphis, Tennessee. See where he lived, see his famous pink Cadillac, climb aboard the customed jet that features a living room, conference room, sitting room and a bedroom. Guess what, there are even gold plated seat belts, suede chairs, leather covered tables, 24 karat gold flecked sinks and much more. Talk about luxury! Anyways, the website is http://www.elvis.com/

Another celeb trip idea – visit Dollywood, the theme park owned by Dolly Parton. Dollywood is structured into ten themed areas. The Showstreet, Rivertown Junction, Craftsmen’s Valley, Village, Country Fair, Timber Canyon and Jukebox Junction – areas that reflect the historical eras and culture of East Tennessee. However, the Dreamland Forest and Adventures in Imagination areas explore Dolly Parton’s life and imagination. The website for it is http://www.dollywood.com/

What else to do there? How about a trip to the Tennessee Aquarium, or the Sun Studio (where Elvis Presley, Jerry Lee Lewis, B.B. King all recorded their famous hits) Perhaps the Lookout Mountain interests you. It’s the perfect destination with an amazing view. Also there is the Rock City Gardens, the Dixie Stampede, the Tuckaleechee Caverns, the Memphis zoo and aquarium, Old Jail Museum and the Titanic Museum Attraction in Pigeon Forge, Tennessee, where you can buy a copy of the Heart of the Ocean necklace. I couldn’t afford even the fake one, but I wouldn’t say no if someone wanted to buy me one.

There’s the Prichards’ Distillery which produces award winning Tennessee Rum & Spirits. Their products include Prichard’s Fine Rum, Crystal Rum, Cranberry Rum, Key Lime Rum, Sweet Georgia Belle Peach Mango Rum, Private Stock Rum, Sweet Lucy Bourbon Liqueur and Benjamin Prichards’ Double Barreled Bourbon. Mmmmmm Rum. obviously you’ll need to sleep in a hotel, so here are some interesting ones to stay in.  The Peabody Memphis, a hotel well known for the famous “Peabody Ducks” that live on the hotel rooftop. They do make their daily treks to the hotel’s lobby in a daily “March of Ducks” celebration. Read all about it on their website http://www.peabodymemphis.com/. Another hotel to stay in is the Heartbreak Hotel. It has 128 rooms and is very near to Elvis Presley’s Graceland. Anyways, I’ll finish here. Thank you. Thank you very much…
