Mrs. Cooper: Now listen here, Sheldon. I’ve been telling you since you were four years old, it’s okay to be smarter than everybody, but you can’t go around pointing it out!
Sheldon Cooper: Why not?
Mrs. Cooper: Because people don’t like it!
Laurie Metcalf and Jim Parsons in the long-running science-themed sitcom The Big Bang Theory (2007 – 2019). I’ve mentioned Sheldon a few times before, including in his own specific post.
I really have covered a lot of different topics in the year I have been running this blog. The nature of my site means I can cover all kinds of topics in various formats. Everything from sporting gaffes and Sheldon Cooper’s funniest lines to cracker jokes, the best cocktails and reviews on films like Argo, Django Unchained and American Hustle.
Even with 607 posts I’ve always taken care in what I put up and never added anything I didn’t like. At the top of the main page I have archived all the pieces under all the different topics I have put up. They are all up to date.
Below are eight of my favourite posts (in no order) that weren’t mentioned in the previous post. If there is one article or photograph or one aspect of the site you particularly like, please feel free to tell me as I always value your feedback.
After mentioning him in a Christmas special I knew it would only be a matter of time before I gave Mr Bazinga himself, Sheldon Cooper, the tribute of a Gr8at platform. Below are eight of the TV King of Sarcasm’s finest, and the star of hit comedy The Big Bang Theory.
Amy: Did you hold the baby?
Sheldon: I did.
Amy: And how did it make you feel?
Sheldon: Looking into the blank, innocent eyes of a creature that couldn’t begin to comprehend anything I was saying … basically another day at the office.
Raj: I don’t like bugs, okay? They freak me out.
Sheldon: Interesting. You’re afraid of insects and women. Ladybugs must render you catatonic.
Sheldon: Why are you crying?
Penny: Because I’m stupid!
Sheldon: That’s no reason to cry. One cries because one is sad. For example, I cry because others are stupid, and that makes me sad.
Leonard: You’ll never guess what just happened.
Sheldon: You went out in the hallway, stumbled into an inter-dimensional portal, which brought you 5,000 years into the future, where you took advantage of the advanced technology to build a time machine, and now you’re back, to bring us all with you to the year 7010, where we are transported to work at the think-a-torium by telepathically controlled flying dolphins?
Leonard: No… Penny kissed me.
Sheldon: Who would ever guess that?
Penny: So what do you say Sheldon, are we your X-Men?
Sheldon: No, the X-men were named for the X in Charles Xavier. Since I am Sheldon Cooper, you will be, my C-Men.
Zack: You know, I saw this great thing on the Discovery Channel. Turns out if you kill a starfish it’ll just come back to life.
Sheldon: Was the starfish wearing boxer shorts? Because you might have been watching Nickelodeon.
Penny: Look, can we just forget about this extra stuff and can you just tell me what Leonard does?
Sheldon: Alright. Leonard is attempting to learn why subatomic particles move the way they do.
Penny: Really? That’s it? Well, that doesn’t sound so complicated.
Sheldon: It’s not… it’s why Leonard does it.
Leonard: You know what, go to Hell and set their thermostat.
Sheldon: I don’t have to go to Hell. At 73 degrees, I’m there already!
Hey funky readers! I hope you’ve all had a wonderful 2013. Thanks so much for your support, your likes and comments, and for your own blogs which I enjoy reading so much and just can’t stay away from. I’ve only had this blog for nearly 4 months, but the continued kaleidoscope of eclectic stuff really is something else.
Whatever your resolutions, wishes and dreams you have for 2014 I hope they all come true and your blogs set an even higher standard. And here are 8 very silly jokes to set you on your way, courtesy of the Christmas crackers we opened as a family and finished opening today. As bad as they are, please feel free to react like Sheldon.
What do you get if you cross a fish and two elephants?
Swimming Trunks
What do you get from a pampered cow?
Spoilt milk
What do you get when you cross a snowman and a vampire?
Frostbite
What starts with T, ends with T, and is full of T?
Teapot
What is a frog’s favourite drink?
Croakacola
What do you get if you cross a chicken with a bedside clock?
An alarm cluck
Why are police officers so strong?
Because they hold up traffic
What do you get if you cross Santa with a duck?
A Christmas quacker
Penny: You really didn’t like it, Sheldon?
Sheldon: No, on the contrary. I found the Grinch to be a relatable, engaging character. I was really with him right until the point where he succumbed to social convention and returned the presents and saved Christmas. What a buzzkill that was.
Leonard: When we watch Frosty the Snowman, he roots for the sun.
Sheldon: Excuse me, but the sun is essential for all life on Earth. Frosty is merely a bit of frozen supernatural ephemera in a stolen hat. A crime, by the way, for which he is never brought to account.
