It is Saturday, most people with lives are out at soccer games, with friends, or drunk off their butts at 7 AM. Well that is, of course, unless you’re a married man, in which case you should be doing one of fifty mind numbing chores that your wife has elected you to do. Those of you reading this are probably super lazy, or have no life, like me. None of this is the point of this post.
The reason I mention it being Saturday is that few people actually read my posts on this day of the week. Though I know this, I feel obligated to those of you wonderful people who actually do visit. The problem is being funny 7 days a week has a ton of pressure. I feel like you’re saying “Be funny, funny woman.”
You know, people actually do this to me now. They walk up to me and say, be funny! What the hell?! I guess I should always have some sort of joke at the ready. I am not a comedian. I am a writer. I can’t be funny on demand. Well I could, but then it would be all making fun of said person. That isn’t kind.
So today is purposefully not funny. It is a wah wah wah…… post. So if you visited me today you win the I visited Ladyornot.com on Saturday and she forgot to be funny award. If you post it on your page, link it back to me and I will link your blog on Monday’s post.
Awww, c’mon, you usually a humor person. What will your husband say? Keep it up. Hehehe
He is the first to say, be funny funny woman.
LoL …. ah i know the feeling .. not that i write always humourously … but i do enjoy your posts
now and then we have to take time to breathe 
Oh I have fun doing this. Even when it is to write about not being funny. Breathing is good advice…otherwise i might fail to live.

Be funny! We’ll wait …
LOL
Well, you ARE funny. But I don’t think you have to post every day…man that’s exhausting! Don’t pressure yourself too much. We’ll all still be here.
Ahh pressure is my middle name.
I do have fun with it though.

too much pressure
I don’t know any elephant jokes, but here’s a good horse joke:
Q: Why are horses bad at democracy?
A: They can only say “nay”
Okay, I admit, it’s a groaner. But my kids LOVE it!
lol you’re too cute.
Nothing ensures a lack of hilarity quite like the pressure to be funny. Unless you’re a practiced comedian, humor is something that comes naturally and sometimes not at all. The worst for me is when I’m on a first date and I think “okay, girls like funny guys. People say I’m funny. So say something funny.” It never works out.
I used to sell tickets to comedy shows in Times Square. When the dopes on the streets found out I was on the show they’d tell me to tell them a joke to prove I was funny. It was the most annoying thing ever. Sometimes I obliged them or if I was in a pissy mood I’d just say something insulting. I hate feeling like a monkey with cymbals. Can’t unfunny people realize we’re not funny to entertain them, we’re funny to fill that void in our hearts?
Toy with cymbals is the best way to describe it. I fill that void with vodka and Krispy Kream sometimes. Funny is my second choice
I will simply echo what you always tell me: be yourself and get out of your own head. If you think you HAVE to produce something, it will become torture to get it out and get it right. We live in an on-demand world but good writing is like peeing: it can flow naturally and easily everyday, but when someone hands you a cup, too much pressure! It will be my honor and pleasure to re-post that picture
Super sweet bff.
And here you go:

Thanks so much!
well, I visited on Saturday, so there. Now I gotta go fix dinner for the subject of my lust. NO I WAS NOT REFERRING TO THE DOG! That would be gross.
Thanks for visiting on a Saturday. ewww dog… what ya fixin’?
Saturday is my chill day. I rush every moment of every other day of the week and if I can manage a little nap then I take it because the rest of the week is taken up by travelling to work, working, doing chores etc.
It is smart to take a day to chillax. I do and don’t I wrote this post last night to be goofy.

You’re funny all the time, my future ex wife!
LOL Your future ex thanks you for finding her funny. Tag yourself on facebook if you like.
Wait, you’re funny? Sorry, all I saw on your blog was “naughty” and “bawdy” which made me ejaculate the verb “follow”. Damn, wrong blog.
Sorry. I know disappointment everywhere.
You post 7 days a week? Wow! I can barely handle twice weekly. I bow to you.
Thanks Carrie. I told you in my about me. I am the winner of the BBEU and I AM practically perfect.

Hey Rebecca, interesting site! Thanks for liking my blog
You’re very welcome. I hope to see you back here.

Even funny people need a break. Kick back and enjoy a day of being un-funny if you need to. And posting every day? I’ve never been able to do that. Not enough time or interesting ideas. Wait, if I went with interesting ideas, I might end with monthly posts. Scratch that. I’ll write any ideas.
LOL Yes well my kicking back is always a Becca-ism
I am in fact, uber lazy. And I’m willing to read blogs every day of the week if it means procrastinating on schoolwork…
My kinda gal. Procrastination is my middle name.
Winning the award makes it all worthwhile, and I love the picture.
Thanks Rod.
Done.
You’re the bestest.
Yeah, you be whatever you like! (only, make it funny)
I will do my best. Or at least give people lap dances.
Wait. How does a guy get a lap dance from you?
Now that’s funny…..
You have to be very rich
What happens when a man in the category above visits on a Sunday?
You can still post it on your page and say you were late for your award. Let me know you did it and I will post you tomorrow.

Okay so I didn’t win on this occasion but perhaps
next Saturday there will be another treat waiting?
Have a fun evening Becca
Androgoth XXx
Next Saturday it is a date.
You mean today is not Saturday? Oops!
Expectations of other’s can be very tiring
Good for you!
It’s hard being funny every day. Then their are blog entries I thought were funny when I wrote them, but no interaction.
It is indeed difficult, but I have fun for sure.
1) everyone needs a day off
2) everybody has an off day
3) even when you’re on, you can be a little off.
4) Sometimes it’s good to be a little on, and then a little off
Then you turn the switch off
Great one
even comedians feel that what they do is work. People think that they’re funny all the time, but most of them work hard at their craft. It is an art form and takes many hours (years) of practice, timing, delivery, working the material.,
What we see and think of as spontaneous is like the actor acting making it look easy. Many a night they perform in down moods, wishing that they didn’t have to work. If they’re good at what they do, we never know it.
And now I will go back to my comic routine… Randy
Indeed. I used to love the stage.

Rebecca – thanks for visiting my blog; honestly, I cannot imagine how you found me, but am glad you did. You present with such a lovely light touch of outrage and sincerity. Fun but not over-the-top. Edgy, and within the bounds of good taste. All of which I appreciate. Thanks for introducing me to both you and your writing partner. I read the book reviews – the closest I’ll ever come to actually reading Shades, you can be sure. Thanks for saving me from them.
You’re a writer and a poet. How could I not find you? I enjoyed reading through your blog. Sunday 10 am I loved.
I am pleased that you enjoyed my work too. I write all sorts of things, but this blog is to make people laugh. I thank you for all your kind words.

Becca
