Thanks to Boise Ed! Are salads and tights the current faves on the insta?
Not the most sophisticated of jokes, but near irresistible when accompanied by the drawing.
Definitely a geezer if this was your textbook!
Meta text is “Researchers claim to have identified 6 additional elements in the second row, tentatively named pentium through unnilium.”
We most often see PBS in the OYs, but this seems a straight-ahead LOL:
(Thanks to Guero for noticing the mistaken mistimed posting of this last week.)
Wow, the last two Sundays were on the holidays, so there were a lot of LOLs people saw but we didn’t have the right place to post yet. And now …
A bit of synchronicity in my GoComics feed suits this post to a T.
Yep, that should have more cat-appeal than pizza.
And can’t let it go without a last-minute Zack!

My guesses are that the Sporkula and Foon are made up, and that the Foodle was intended that way but in fact exists, under some other name. I think I’ve seen it used for lifting and serving spaghetti.
So clever! (But we may have to watch out for the pronunciation-guide people.)
OK, let’s hear the pros and cons for whether it’s better with put the garbage out or would be improved with put out the garbage.
A sausage party?
Shared by a CIDU reader:
More of an OY than a LOL perhaps, but who is counting?
Wrong Hands labels this with “redux” so we are not abashed about rerunning it here.
Andréa sends in these. Good to see the Ministry of Silly Walks getting into the holiday spirit.
A perpetual favorite mixup:
… and what did we just say?
More Bizarro.
Here’s one for the “not a classic pun, but generalized language play” … also it’s time to acknowledge the “dad jokes” category in pop culture.
From Ooten Aboot, with an illuminating commentary:
In 1874, a similar culture clash happened in real life when Montreal’s McGill University challenged Harvard to a two game “football” match. To McGill, “football” meant Rugby, while Harvard followed “Boston Rules”, a version of Soccer with limited catching and carrying of a spherical ball. The solution was to play one game under each set of rules. Harvard won the “Boston” game, while the Rugby result was a 0-0 tie. Nevertheless, Harvard apparently liked the McGill style and adopted similar rules, so that encounter with McGill may have been the origin of American Football as it known today.
A case of How to Respond to Critics?
Thanks to Andréa for this Half Full:

We start off with a twofer on the same pun idea:
That’s sticking it to them! (or not)
We picked up this Wiley Miller one from the Why Evolution Is True website where it was sent in by a reader.
This Rubes from Andréa makes a deprecated usage exactly right for once!
Birthday note!
Today is the 200th for César Franck.
