Here, back long last!
Keep the Monday post on .
I know I have a dark sense of humor, but I love the serial killer Barbie. Someone went to a lot of trouble to set up all those scenes.
The C-Section Frozen thing was just a little too bizarre. It begs the question "why??".
It was the woman hit by the shoe that had me really laughing. Probably not something I should have done but hey-ho.
Oh gosh, a shoe knocking unconscious.
Fab to see your media links post again Tracy, thanks for sharing these. I always worry about those overhead lockers! Though I haven't flown for some years. The wheelie bin getting a ticket??!! Oh dear!
Hi Tracy,
I can't think when I have chuckled so much over your bizarre collection of Monday stories!
I have of course heard about the party no show invoice - who in the UK could have failed to have come across this story - all rather pathetic don't you think?
The over zealous traffic warden doesn't really surprise me at all - they deserve all the grief they get from people - it has to be the most 'jobsworth' occupation in the country!
Favourite story is definitely the serial killer Barbie. Ken really is a bit of a jerk, so seeing him annihilated in a couple of nasty scenarios is quite funny. NOT one for young children though - it could scar them for life :)
Thanks for sharing and have a good week.
Yvonne.
Oh, my goodness! These stories are hilarious! I think the pizza story is my favorite (the last one is so gory!).
Serial killer barbie? Who didn't see that coming? LOL
I have to say that the failed app would fail. C-section? Not in a Disney film. Don't they usually just skip that part. :)
Hi Tracy, those certainly were bizarre! I nominated you for the Very Inspiring Blogger award. You can visit my blog to learn more about it.
I still haven't seen Frozen, so I don't think the app is for me. :)
Serial Killer Barbie- what a twist!
Always fascinating to see the variety of news stories.
The serial killer Barbie just made my day!
Hello greetings.
Very hilarious post. I enjoyed it.
Best wishes
Did the 79-year-old woman sue the shoe?
Hi Tracee, I've missed your fun Monday Media posts :)
lol about the aborigines pizza.
Enjoy your week.
On another note, I'm slowly getting back to blogging.
