Like a bord on a wire, 6 — Funny Typos
Funny Typos | Posted by Jannie on 1 April 2009 @ 11:48 AM 45 Comments
photo: last summer in Canada with one of her grandpa’s horses (clicking on it of course, makes it so much bigger-cute.)

1. Your poem left me with rears in my eyes.
2. I’d love to go on a Greek Isles cruise but I’ll have to wait for my hip to come in.
3. I wanted to write “Bowling In The Wind,” but Dylan beat me to it.
4. btw, I did try your afternoon-at-the-library idea but a hoeless guy kept following me around and eventually asked me for date. Yikes!
5. I’m doing my vocal worm-ups as I type this.
6. Yes CDs will be available off my side, just $10.00 each…
7. On more than one morning I remember trying to hide my tears on the funning trail after I dropped her at school.
8. And they [the students,] sit there at their desks and do ALL their work without so much as a poop out of them!!
9. If we could meet at your horse in the next week or two, that would be great. [To my songwriting / graphic designer friend, Jae, of Zazzle's front-page-featured Band Geek Tees ...]
10. You are going out on a limb to say how you really fell and I admire that.
(Far too many to pick out my favorites here. Which are yours?)
Here is the entire series thus far, in case you are interested. ![]()
Funny Typos 10… Funny Typos 9… Funny Typos 8… Funny Typos 7… Funny Typos 6… Funny Typos 5… Funny Typos 4… Funny Typos 3… Funny Typos 2… Funny Typos 1…

Now that that is outta the way…
So is it hard to walk, hug and / or sleep with CDs on your side?
And
I’m quite sure ALL teachers are very, very glad that their students don’t “poop” at their desks
on a personal note—did you not want your thingie? See post 3-25 “Well whata ya know” if you want to know and if you missed it. OR maybe you are igg-nora-ring it

Great picture! I clicked on it and it IS so much “bigger-cute”.
Funny typos, as usual! I have a bloggy friend who is “tap dancing…” and I seem to always type “tit dancing…” No good!

Oh.. what’s the Funstering Codebook, page 138, article 14.6???

Please don’t think me rude for not talking to you guys on these yet.
I’m thinking of putting up a poll for you to vote on how what’s an acceptable time-frame to answer comments within — varying from 5 seconds after each new comment is posted to 2 years after.
I’m going to bed! My mind is going too. I mean — mind mind is already gone. But you knew that. Right?

These are all so special! You make the greatest typos! Mine usually invent new words instead of using misplaced real ones- I’ll post em ona these days-
I’d love to meet at my horse, but I don’t have one yet. (always wanted one). Picturing rears in your eyes is pretty comical- they all are! Thanks, what a great cheer-up!

Three cheers for Shay and her Dylanesque rendering of BOWLING IN THE WIND! Clever that, and funny. I am still trying to eradicate the image of a line of nubile “tit dancers.” I wonder if the “hoeless guy” just left his ho at home, or what? Maybe that was why he asked your for a date; oh, how creepy is that? Perhaps your “vocal worm ups” were in response to that fat frog you get in your throat sometimes, a switch and bait maneuver? Actually the “funning trail” os a real place. We visit it every time we venture into Funsterland, right? I would like two of your “side CD’s” and a cheeseburger to go, please. I suppose those pesky students might not have had a pee out of them either. Of course one can never be absolutely certain about the poop issue. That depends on the age of the students. Kelly is meeting at her grandpa’s horse, and she does not seem to think of it as a bord, or a foopay. The best way to get “rears in your eyes” is to walk backwards on your hands. You could have the child trotting alongside with a hanky to wipe those rears.
No one on God’s cream earth can create typos that have more corkmic potential than Ms. Jannie Funster, on this day, or any mother.

I like the hoeless guy.Was he a guy with out a hoe, a ‘ho ,or a ho ho ho. It makes a difference in how you should have replied to him.
On 2 April 2009 at 1:54 pm Sara said,
My favorite one was number 10: This one [poem] has left rears in my eyes.
This is embarrassing, but I read it three times before I caught the mistake. It’s funny how your mind acts like the spell checker in Word and just fixes a word like “rears” to “tears.”
I think the idea of having “rears” in your eyes might be funny and a bit intimidating…guess it depends on the rear that is in your eyes?

Hiya, scha-weet patootie! My (and my horse’s) favorites are always the numerous ones in your most recent email (oh, nimble-fingered one). Between Miss Shay and Mr. Glen, your peeps (or poops) are rioting up the place. C’mon over…my horse is your horse. xoxoxoxoxo Jae
(And Kelly is so adorable in her equine enchantment!)

Paige: I think my blog has officially “arrived,” to have someone comment “First!”
Actually, I think Shay did months ago. But it was funny to see it again. Well… having those surgically implanted CDs on my side was real weird for the first year, but I hardly notice it now.
Oh, and thanks again on the Thingie indeed! I’ll be retrieving it soon. P. S. I need to vacuum my carpet. Do you?
Chris: Thanks, cute photo indeed. Tit dancing eh? I know I sometimes write, indeed just a few minutes ago did, “is tit?” P.S. I love butter pecan ice cream. Do you?
J.D.. Funny one! P.S. I like natural lemon cake soap. Do you?
Carla: Yes, I got kind of picky on these, let no weak ones slip in! P.S. I like “Throat Coat” tea by Traditional Medicinals. Do you?
K: I wear special shirts to keep it well camouflaged. No one likes to look like the freak they really are. P.S. My favorite pens, and the only ones I write with are Pilot Precise V, 5 or 7, preferably the 7. Do you like those?
Lisa: Thanks on the pic. There were a few more taken that some time, I might just post them too, kind of an addendum in another post. P.S. Have any new red stuff in your kitchen?
Debbie; And they don’t smell like sunshine and roses either. P.S. I use a windows computer. How ’bout you? Mac?
Shay: You got my e-mail about how this one hit me especially humorously. And still does. I wonder if you could bowl in a hurricane. P.S. My cat sleeps in a cardboard box in the daytime. It’s the one my Kitchen Aide came in. What do you think of that?
Thank you, Bold Tess. The video has been up since the 28th. No worries. LATE??? Hmn, let’s see – who could that possibly sound like? Hmn? JANNIE!!!! But I can’t wait for Monday. P.S. I like spinach. Do you?
Talon: Thanks for the absotrulylutely lovely comment. I already know you like dark chocolate and wrought iron so I need not be asking those. I like sleeping on a satin (ish) pillow case. Do you?
Dot: Yay!!!! I made Dot laugh until rears ran down her face. And I like to make Dot laugh. A lot. P.S. I do not have an I-phone. Do you??
Mia: Thanks!! P.S. I got to grocery shop alone this morning. When’s the last time you grocery shopped all by your lonesome?
Karyn: Thanks. I know the worm-ups, kinda gross, but interesting. P.S. My favorite spring flower is a hyacinth. And you? Oh, the Funstering Codebook, page 138, article 14.6 is top secret. Sorry! But it does have something to do with hoeless men in speedoes need not come to our pool partites.
Jannie: Hi Jannie! Get some sleep tonight, will ya???
Vered: Not a bad choice at all. And all these bords appear in actual chronological order, so your best was saved for last. P.S. I think Walgreen’s $1 shampoo works just as well as all that expensive stuff. Do you agree?
Snagalicious: Thank you. As I mentioned above to Carla, I’m saving only the cream of the cops. OMG. crop! So glad you could get a lift. I met Kelly at her horse. that day, it was lovely. We made a picnic of it. P.S. I’ve never had a guinea pig. Have you?
Lynn: Oooo, “love music.” Some Barry White, I guess? I do interchange love for live and vice versa a lot when I type too. P.S. I’ve never been to Spain. Have you? Nor Italy. You?
Glenn: You’re back! You’re alive!! Did you watch my video? Did it make you puke? Now if a tit dancer was very robotic, she would not be very nubile methinks, like, if she had 2 wooden arms and legs, but wonderful breasts. And a wooden spine. P.S. I once cried at a zoo because the caging of the animals depressed me. Have you ever cried at a zoo? Have you cried at a wedding? Have you cried at bowling in a windy alley?
Wade: He had a pitchfork. And a chainsaw. Be a good man for me, until he got within 12 feet of me. Needed a little Mennen, methinks. poor guy. Last year there was a sad “ho-ho-ho-less” Santa at the mall. P.S. I saw John Denver in concert in 1989. Did you ever see him?
Sara: Who knew that could be such a universally well-loved typo? Rears in your eyes. As long as your eyes or any part of you don’t get into arrears, I think you can probably get by in life. P.S. My mom and dad have a set of dishes they have never used in almost 50 years – got them at their wedding (yes 50th anniversary coming up. In August.) Do you think that’s a little weird. Not them being married 50 years, I mean, but that they’ve never used the china even once?
Well, this has been more than interesting, gang
Back to my guitar for 30 minutes.
Wait! There’s Jae, my Jae-bo-Bae, whom I’ll be meeting at her horse next week. I do hope its sunny and dry in the meadow. Yes, my poops are speaking. (All that bran, I guess.) P. S. I’ve never actually seen the apparently famous round rock in Round Rock. Have you?? And if so, what was the experience like? xoox

Patricia: Did you manage to get in any vocal worm-ups in the shower lately? Do you feel your vocal chords strenghtening? And more importantly, can you dance the fandango? I think Grandpa is up to 3 horse now, recently he took on an abused skinny one and fattened him up. He’s always had horses, since he’s been, I think like, 10 years old. My farm boy daddy.
King! Great to see you back in blogging action. And soooooooooooooo glad about your nepheww acceping the kidney. The power of prayer and positive thinking! I’m just so glad about the wonderful news, have been wondering about you guys. P.S. Have you ever been to Mount Rushmore?
Talon: So that’s a good thread count? Like, per inch or something? What a bedding cretin I am, don’t even know about thread count. But I can peel 100 hundred large carrots in less than 5 minutes! Can you?
Kimmi: It is my vast pleasureabilty to share such photos with my friends, glad you enjoyed it. I wonder how April 1st went for you with your Big Book Release? I’ve not been over to your place in 2 whole days – the shame! P.S. Have you always been so cute?
Sheila: Actually, I do love number 1 the best. Just the visual of waiting for my hip instead of the intended ship does weird and wonderful things to my already strange little mind. Thanks for the lovely compliments! P.S. How many years have you lived in your current house?
Lynn: Are you talking about a full-length or a half Freudian slip? All you need is love to live! And some of that meatloaf that’s wildly advertized you write about! P.S. Do you ever get mice in your house? (Oh, and yes, I kinda like the music too, Spanish that is.)
Lane:

frizzfunster,
There was a young lady
name of Jannie
sadly indeed
was partook of a minor malady,
that her typing was not up to speed
for errors she made
thus created much fun
her brain quite mislaid,
(she’s not really dumb)
punctuation and spelling
for poor little Jannie.

Hi Jannie – I can’t even concentrate on what you wrote as I’m listening to you singing. I LOVE that you’re sharing your talent with us. You have a beautiful voice and on stage presence.
Now I’m listening to the video again. And also realized you posted a comment policy. “Funstering codebook, page 138, article 14.6″ That’s cute. Love it.
Thank you again for sharing the video. You rock!

Snag: My dear Snag: I wouldn’t know the diference between an abysisian and an abbysinian, anyway! I’m guessing they’re guinea pigs, but I’ll have to Google and perhaps feel like an idiot afterwards, ’cause maybe they’re some kind of bird or salamander.
Barbara: Thank you for such a lovely show of enthusiasm. And to think you were basically there every step of the way for me with that Ukulele song, from first desire to creat the song, until it’s Grand World Debut, as you have witnessed in all its naked glory. Oh yes, and Ye Olde Funstering Codebook, passed down from many generations to little ole me.
Kim: It is so indeed. And to go out on the limb again could perhaps result in another fall. Oy.
