Faces in things (Star Wars edition)

We're only a few days away from Star Wars Day (or May The Fourth Be With You Day, as it's also known), so that means it's time for another Star Wars themed blog post.

This week I take a look at Star Wars related pareidolia, or Star Wars faces in things for people who don't like long words! Collected below are a variety of Star Wars characters found in various objects and items, starting with a familiar coffee maker...

1) Darth Vader

"Luke, I am your coffee maker!"

Decaf Vader

"I find your lack of milk and sugar disturbing."

Funny labels

I occasionally feature amusing signs on the Charles Fudgemuffin blog, but this week I'm going to deviate from amusing signs slightly and feature instead amusing labels, starting with a label which is technically correct, but probably unnecessary...

1) For worst results

Whoever wrote the label on this item of clothing obviously has a sense of humour...

Unnecessary advice.

'For Best Results: Machine wash cold. Tumble dry low. Never iron design.

For Worst results: Drag through puddle behind car. Blow dry on roof rack."

I mean, they're not wrong!

The first rule of Fight Club is...

As I'm sure most people are aware, the first rule of Fight Club is 'you don't talk about Fight Club', but what about other clubs? What are their first rules?

Cat: "What's the first rule of Tortoise Club?"
Tortoise: "The objects of the club are to promote humane behaviour
towards tortoises by promoting best practice for tortoise care."
Cat: "Sorry, it was just a joke that backfired.
I didn't realise there was an actual Tortoise Club."

Read on to find out...

1) Cat Club

The first rule of Cat Club is...

You don't meow about Cat Club.

2) Thesaurus Club

The first rule of Thesaurus Club is...

You don't talk, chat, discuss, converse speak, gossip, deliberate, or confer about Thesaurus Club.

Funny horse names: A true or false quiz

It's the Grand National this weekend, which for the benefit of any readers who aren't from England, is the biggest horse race in England. I'm not a great fan of horse racing, but I do appreciate the amusing names that some owners have given their horses.

"Ha, ha, ha! You're called what?"

So with that in mind this week's blog post is a horse themed true or false quiz. Take a look at the following amusing horse names and see if you can guess whether they're real horses, or whether they're just silly names which I've made up!

1) Windsorlot

You would expect a horse named Windsorlot to win a lot, but sadly Windsorlot has failed to win any of its last 15 races.¹ Perhaps it should be renamed Losesalot.

True or false?

Random thoughts (part 11)

This week the Charles Fudgemuffin blog features another selection of random thoughts on subjects as varied as birthdays, synchronised swimming, and the Mona Lisa.

To start things off, here's some advice on how to end a phone call with someone you don't like...

"I'm sorry, it must be a bad line."

1) Devious discontinuations

The best way to hang up on someone is to hang up halfway through your own sentence. That way they won't realise you deliberately hung up on them, and they'll think it was just a fault with the line.

2) Coordinated casualities

If a synchronized swimmer drowns, do their team-mates have to drown too?
