Humor Monday Update 5/26: Gather Writing Essentials

This Monday the Humor Gang slowed down a little probably because it's
Memorial Day and a holiday — and possibly because I didn't remind them. We are shy of our usual 20+. However, we still have quite a number of articles to tickle your funny bone as well as fiction, poetry, essays, etc. many of which take the opportunity to honor our fallen heroes.

Two articles are featured today: "Mud, Mud, I Love Mud" or The Day Julia and Sage Went Froggin' With Tuck!  by elizabeth e. A delightful photo essay about two things kids love — mud and frogs. The Super Bowl, According to Dogs by Marge H. The "100 word story" group often comes up with winners as in this distaff view of "hunting" versus "gathering."

And we have more humor! Here are some of the other articles we think you'll enjoy:
