Inspirational motivational quotes

Years ago when I used to use facebook, I remember that a few of my facebook friends would often post motivational quotes on their timelines. This week I've decided to take inspiration from those quotes and share a few motivational quotes myself.

However, you may notice that some of the following 'motivational' quotes aren't quite as motivational as they first seem...

1) Parent quote

To start things off, here's an embarassed looking cat that looked a good fit for the accompanying quote.

"Don't be ashamed of who you are. That's your parents job!"

Superhero related thoughts (part 3)

Superhero fans will know that a new Deadpool movie comes out next week (July 26th, 2024, to be precise). Technically speaking, Deadpool isn't really a superhero, he's a villain who became so popular that Marvel decided to loosely convert him to a 'hero' for financial purposes.

Deadpool.
A former villain turned ... still a villain, really.

However, even though Deadpool isn't really a superhero, I've nevertheless decided to use it as an excuse for another round-up of random superhero related thoughts.

1) A dubious moral of the story

Most superheroes ganied their power either from an accident or they were born with them. Most villains gained their power from having extreme intelligence or years of hard work.

What message are Marvel and DC trying to teach us?

2) Green light for crime

The Bat Signal basically tells every criminal in Gotham that Batman is going to be busy, so the best time to commit a crime would be while the Bat Signal is on.

Question of the day (part 3)

If it's good enough for Alan Partridge, then it's good enough for the Charles Fudgemuffin blog! I'm talking of course about the 'Question of the day' which Alan features on his Mid Morning Matters phone in show.

Another batch of questions designed to get you thinking,
starting with a money themed dilemma.

Alan's questions of the day are designed to be serious, but can often be unintentionally silly. The following questions are deliberately chosen to be a mixture of serious and silly.

Serious:

1) Would you rather win ten thousand pounds or your best friend wins a million pounds?



Silly:

2) Isn't it worrying that doctors call what they do 'practice'?

The funny side of fashion

It's National Fashion Day on July 9th, so to celebrate this week the Charles Fudgemuffin blog takes a lighthearted look at the latest styles and trends.

1) The Nando's look

Barber: "How would you like your hair cut?"
Footballer: "Well, you know the Nando's logo..."
Barber: "No problem!"

What a peri unusual hairstyle!

Stating the obvious (part 2)

When I feature a follow up blog post on the Charles Fudgemuffin blog, I generally label it 'part 2'. That's because it's the second instalment, and part 2 comes after part 1, therefore I call it part 2.

You might be thinking that's obvious. Why did I bother explaining something as obvious as that?

Well, the reason is because this week features another collection of 'stating the obvious' examples, and I like to practice what I preach!

1) Obvious marriage

To start things off, here's an amusingly obvious headline...

"Couple gets married during wedding."

You have to wonder, did whoever wrote this headline know how weddings work? Of course they got married! That's kind of the whole point! What else are they going to do during a wedding?

In other news, man eats food during meal.

10 music jokes (part 5)

National Music Day falls on June 21st and it's become something of a tradition on the Charles Fudgemuffin blog to mark the occasion with a collection of musically themed jokes.

I'm not sure who this belongs to, but it's
definitely not Elvis, as he returned his.

1) Me: "I've just seen Elvis in B&Q."
Mate: "What was he doing there?"
Me: "Returned a sander."



2) Can you imagine how much permanent damage we'd have done to our arms if the Village People had called it the GHZB.

3) Noel Gallagher went to a world heritage site in Cambodia and was told by a buddhist monk not to turn around and look upon the temple as he left.

"Don't look back in Angkor," he said.

Top tips for parents

I occasionally like to feature silly top tips on the Charles Fudgemuffin blog, and as tomorrow is Father's Day, this week's batch of top tips are all aimed at parents. Please note, the following tips are not meant to be taken seriously. That said, some of them do contain a grain of truth.

Breakfast cereal, ideal for anyone looking for a high sugar diet.
(Excluding Shredded Wheat, which has no sugar.)

To start off, here's a parenting tip that most parents can probably relate to...

1) If your kids suddenly start getting along and are nice to each other for no reason, be very, very suspicious.

2) Find out what cereal you don't have by asking your kids what they want for breakfast.
