Saturday in January. I can’t believe it’s 2026 already.

You know, I can remember being a kid in school, real young, and thinking to myself, you know, in the year 2000, I’ll be over 40 years old! Holy cow! I can’t IMAGINE being that old. I’ll be a real adult and everything. 

Then I blinked and I’m an old man. I have NO IDEA where the time went. I mean, I remember all the things that happened, but they happened SO FAST!

I guess it’s true what they say, time sure flies when you’re having fun.

So, what do you say we make some time fly …

 

It’s all a matter of perspective.

 

 

Those that I have experienced:
Exulansis
Jouska
Liberosis
Mauerbauertraurigkeit
Rubatosis
Bellichor
Odd, isn’t it. I do like the last one and agree that it needs a name. I get the same feeling in libraries.  All those wonderful, glorious books and no where NEAR enough time to read them all.

 

 

And THAT would be pure heaven!

 

 

I know that one!  It’s a Christmas Carol!

 

 

Let’s switch to the NIV for readability sakes, shall we? 1 Corinthians 15:1-4 
1 Now, brothers and sisters, I want to remind you of the gospel I preached to you, which you received and on which you have taken your stand.
2 By this gospel you are saved, if you hold firmly to the word I preached to you. Otherwise, you have believed in vain.
3 For what I received I passed on to you as of first importance: that Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures,
4 that he was buried, that he was raised on the third day according to the Scriptures
Verses 3 and 4 tell the whole story. Christ died for our sins, he was buried and on the third day he rose from the dead. That explains it all right there. If you need more of an explanations, let me know and I’ll happily explain it deeper for you.

YOU HAVE GOT TO BE KIDDING ME!!!!

 

 

Also known as: Mess around and find out. You know, I’ve heard people say, “Would you really take someone’s LIFE over STUFF?” You know, a better question to ask is, “Why would you risk your LIFE over SOMEONE ELSE’S stuff?” Once you cross my threshold without my permission, I have no idea what your intentions are. But, since you did it without my permission AND since my threshold was locked, I can only make the assumption that your intentions are evil and I will ALWAYS face evil with lethal force.

 

 

AND….do you know who His Bride is? 

The Church

AND…do you know who The Church is?

Well, it sure isn’t some building somewhere. It is all believers and followers and disciples of Christ. If you have been saved, you are part of the Church.

 

 

Due to inflation, you can now eat food that has been on the floor for up to 7.3 seconds.

 

 

I work with a bunch of guys like that.

 

 

If I had a peak that would take one…

 

 

Ahh, Seafood!

 

I’ve started a new “paid” website called Older Fans.

It’s where people come to see what new injury I have and guess how I got it.

If you ever helped push a car, ran beside it, jumped in at the last second, dropped it into gear, and popped the clutch … you lived through a legendary time.

Today’s kids will never understand.

 

 

You heard about this scam, right? This 23 year-old investigative reporter uncovered … well … exposed it all.  It was estimated that it’s happening in other states as well and could be as high as one trillion dollars with all the scams going on. 20% to 25% of our entire nations budget.  Oh and Tim Waltz … he says it’s just another example of us white folks trying to keep the dark folks down.

What an ass-hat.

Here’s a link to the video the young guy put out on X  HERE

And here is a very good article from AFN on the whole thing HERE

Time is Irish.  The perseverance, the melancholia, the last name O’Clock, etc.

 

 

If a tree falls on your ex in the woods and no one hears it, you should probably still get rid of the chainsaw.
Just in case…

I had a girlfriend in high school who kissed like that.

 

 

I believe in you.

I also believe in Bigfoot so don’t get too excited.

Finland has just closed their borders.

No one will be crossing the finish line.

If a drummer comes out of retirement will there be repercussions?

And that’s it my friends, until next time…

Well, it’s here.  The New Year. 2026. 

Our Dear Holy and Heavenly Father, we thank thee most humbly for all the blessings we’ve received in the previous year, the friendships we’ve made and the bounty you’ve bestowed unto us. We know that everything that has happened to us has all been part of your plan. We ask, dear Lord that you continue to bless us throughout this new coming year, that we continue to follow in your path and have faith in your plan. We thank you for the sacrifice that your Son has made for the forgiveness of our sins and ask for your bounty continue to grace us in 2026. In Jesus’ name we pray. Amen.

I can’t think of a better way to start the New Year with my friends and family here at Dragon Laffs then to ask for the Lord’s blessing on us all.

I hope that all of you are well this morning.  That everyone had designated drivers.  Makes me wonder if I ought to send this out a day early on Wednesday to remind everyone, lol.

So, let’s get into the laughter, shall we?

 

Which doesn’t surprise any of us.

 

 

Because so many people think that you are because of what you do for a living.

 

 

Looks like the old “C-Rations” but I’m not sure what the “Type K” designator means. But that is what the old C-Rats were like, right down to the cigarettes and the little chocolate bar.

 

 

And get shot in the back as you do.

 

 

I think I may need professional help…

A chef, a butler, and a maid should do it.

Some people don’t understand that sitting in your own house in peace, eating snacks and minding your own business is priceless. 

And reading…don’t forget reading.

Last night’s staff party.

 

 

That has got to be the most perfect description I have ever read!

 

 

As the Kardashians celebrate their 20th season, I would like to congratulate myself for NEVER watching a single episode.

Walmart is opening dental offices in some of its stores. There will be an express lane for people with 12 teeth or less.

I have 1,000 Mars bars in my fridge and my mate has 1 in his.
I pressured him into giving his to a homeless person.
This is how celebrity charity appeals work.

 

 

Do you ever wake up, kiss the person sleeping beside you, and feel glad that you are alive?

I just did and apparently will not be allowed on this airline again…

As our Father in Heaven…

 

 

Poignant! 

My wife bet me $1,000 I couldn’t turn spaghetti into a car…
you should have seen her face when I drove pasta.

The worst part of being a parent is realizing that all your children’s most obnoxious traits are probably your fault.

Don’t understand why iPhone chargers aren’t called Apple Juice but okay.

I’m in a Wal-Mart parking lot watching a woman who can’t remember where she parked.  Every time she holds her remote in the air, I honk my horn.

 

 

The remainder of the New Year memes…

 

Yeah, that one should have been for last night, but actually can be useful for ANY night! Please don’t drink and drive … or smoke and drive … or chew gummies and drive … or … well, you get the idea. Please be stone cold sober and drive, always.

 

 

And that’s it my friends, may you have a great start to 2026. May you have a blessed year.

Happy Monday!  I hope everyone had a wonderful weekend. We are working our way toward New Year.  I can’t believe how fast this year has gone.  But, it’s like they say, life is like a roll of toilet paper … and they’re right, it’s definitely going by faster.

So, let’s stop wasting time and get into the fun stuff, shall we?

Please make it soon, Lord.

 

 

From our dear Sasquatch:

Keep that in mind.  We all know someone who is possibly suffering from depression, there is a HUGE difference between trying to “cheer someone up” and “comforting them.”

 

 

I’m having people over to stare at their phones later, if you want to come by…

Not only did I fall off the diet wagon, I dragged it into the woods, set it on fire, and used the insurance money to buy cupcakes.

 

And under the category of REALLY BAD IDEA! …

Women have only 2 problems:

1.  Nothing to wear.

2.  No room for all their clothes.

 

 

The older you get the more you realize how precious life is. You have no desire for drama, conflict, or stress. You just want good friends, a cozy home, food on the table, and people who make you happy.

 

 

Marriage is not about a beautiful wedding, fancy homes, cute kids, nice cars and white picket fences.  Marriage is hospital stays, working long hours, fighting through struggles, paying bills, and keeping the faith and staying together through it all.

And that’s it my friends.  May God Bless you and keep you until next time.

 

So, it’s the Saturday after Christmas …

…for you guys.

For me, it’s still the same day that I finished my birthday issue of issues and the Christmas issue, but I’m trying to get through the day and just keep going.

Plus…

…and this is important…

…IT’S FUN!

See, I told you it was important. 

And this is an episode FULL of important stuff, exceptional stuff, impressive stuff, influential stuff, momentous, notable, powerful stuff! (Yes, I used a thesaurus) and even more importantly, even more notable (okay, we’re not doing that again) IT’S FUNNY!

So…let’s get started and see where this thing takes us.

 

 

I’m pretty sure that’s Izzy’s baby picture.

 

“In the Nick of Time”

Through the 18th century, businessmen often kept track of debts owed (and the interest that built on loans) by carving nicks on a “tally stick.” When someone arrived to pay off their debt before the next nick was carved, they’d save that day’s worth of interest – hence, “nick of time.”

We seem to be hitting a theme here lately. Does someone reading need to hear this?

Famous story and true historically:

Santa was getting ready for his annual trip…but there were problems everywhere. Four of his elves got sick, and the trainee elves did not produce the toys as fast as the regular ones so Santa was beginning to feel the pressure of being behind schedule. 

Then Mrs. Claus told Santa that her mom was coming to visit. This stressed Santa even more. When he went to harness the reindeer, he found that three of them were about to give birth and two had jumped the fence and were out, heaven knows where. More Stress. 

Then when he began to load the sleigh, one of the boards cracked and the toy bag fell to the ground and scattered the toys. Totally frustrated, Santa went into the house for a cup of coffee and a shot of whiskey. When he went to the cupboard, he found the elves had hit the liquor and there was nothing to drink. In his frustration he dropped the coffee pot and it broke into hundreds of little pieces all over the kitchen floor. He went to get the broom and found that mice had eaten the straw it was made from. 

Just then the door bell rang and Santa cussed on his way to the door. He opened the door and there was a little angel with a great big Christmas tree. The angel said: “Where would you like to put this tree fat man?” 

And that my friends is how the little angel came to be on top of the Christmas tree!

The father watched through the window as his young daughter made a snowman with a little friend. 

Entertained by the sight, he went closer and heard the little boy say:”I’ve got an idea. To finish it off, I’ll go to the kitchen and find a carrot.” 

And his daughter replied, “Make it two. The second can be his nose.” 

 

 

This next one is from Lynn and is a much better explaination of something we talked earlier with the Wise Men… 

 

I spend a lot of time holding the refrigerator door open looking for answers.

Babies drink till they pass out and people think they’re cute.

I do it and everybody starts getting all judgmental and stuff.

My wife asked if she had any annoying habits and then got all offended during the PowerPoint presentation.

Help your friends diet by replacing the light in their fridge with an air horn.

 

 

Them: What inspires you to get up every day and get out of bed? 

Me: My bladder mostly.

And that’s it my friends.  I hope you enjoyed yourself.  I certainly enjoyed myself.  Until next time, may the good Lord Bless you and keep you.  My love to you all.

 

I just got this one from Aussie Pete and I like it a lot, so …

 

Looks like a female version of me.

Today is Christmas. The day we celebrate the birth of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. Born to die. To die in suffering for each and every one of us, so that we would not have to.

I’ve had so many people ask me, “Why would a loving God send us to hell?” 

God doesn’t send us to hell. We have sent ourselves to hell. We are destined, from birth, to go to hell. That is the path we are on thanks to our great, great, great X whatever, mutual grandparents Adam and Eve, who started us on the path of sin.

We were born sinful, we remain sinful our whole lives. Our sin MUST be paid for with blood and sacrifice. Either our own or someone else’s.  Only the pure and sinless can go to Heaven. To be made pure, our sins must be forgiven, must be wiped clean.  Only someone sinless, someone pure, who is willing to take our punishment, who is willing to take the pain and the suffering we deserve can make it so that we don’t HAVE to go to hell.

God isn’t sending us to hell, He is giving us the opportunity to not have to go to hell. He’s giving us the opportunity to go to Heaven, to go to paradise instead. All we have to do is truly repent of our sins, accept the sacrifice that Jesus has already made for us, and do our very best to follow Jesus the rest or our lives, being the best person we know how to be.

Are we going to sin again?

Every single, solitary day. At least that’s the way it’s worked out for me.

So, what do you do?

Rinse and repeat.

This is the birth that we are celebrating today.  Let’s not forget that, in our celebrations. And now that I have tears in my eyes,…

At a girl’s college hostel, dates were permitted only on Saturday nights.

One young man showed up on a Tuesday evening, explaining to an older woman in the lobby of the dorm that it was imperative he see a certain young lady immediately.

“I want to surprise her. You see, I’m her brother.”

“Oh, she’ll be surprised all right,” said the woman. “But think of how surprised I am! I’m her mother!”

1860 South Carolina General Assembly votes 169-0 to secede from the United States, declaring itself an “independent commonwealth” and is quickly followed by other Southern states, triggering the American Civil War.

I bought a little bag of air today…

The company that made it was kind enough to put some potato chips in it as well. 

 

Signs of the times:

My wife just opened a jar of pickles by herself and I can’t help but wonder if my days around here are numbered…

Then there are those of us who are preparing for our third Christmas without our wife, our best friend, our other half and it’s no easier now than it was the first two times. Be kind to us. Be gentle with us. It’s hard as hell. It’s agony to put a smile on your face for your daughter and son and grandkids, for your friends, for your church family. Watching others laughing and playing and having a wonderful time, when inside … inside you want to be … well … anywhere else.

Maybe I shouldn’t have put that in here, but you are my family, and by writing it out, it helps me. So, as I bleed these words out onto this screen, understand that I’m entrusting to you a sacred gift: part of my heart. This is a horribly difficult time of the year for me.  I won’t go into the details. Mary went in the hospital the first time on the day after Christmas, returned on the 6th of January and passed on the 8th of January, 2022.  I achingly miss her every single solitary day. I know I will see her again and I fervently pray that Jesus returns soon to take us all home.

Now, back to the show.

 

 

When I told my doctor about my loss of memory, he made me pay in advance.

I’m bored…
I think I’ll go to the mall, find a great parking spot, and sit in my car with the reverse lights on.

 

 

Exchange of text messages:

Husband:  You are negative!! 

Wife:  and you are stubborn, arrogant, a low life, care about no one but yourself and your friends, all you are interested in is your own self, all your life not fulfilled even one of your promises. It is only I who is putting up with such a miser and insensitive man. You good for nothing, fat, ugly man. Even your hair transplant failed. 

Husband:  I was just informing you that your Covid test is negative… 

Wife:  Oh……sorry!

 

 

One of my favorite pictures of all time!

 

 

 

I often worry about the safety of my children, especially the one that is rolling their eyes at me and talking back right now.

 

 

Brain at 3 am:

I can see you’re trying to sleep, so I would like to offer you a selection of every memory, unresolved issue, or things you should have said or done today as well as in the past 40 years.

 

 

For the past 20 years I’ve received a Valentines card from the same secret admirer. So I was pretty upset when I didn’t get one this year. First, my granny dies and now this.

My wife is blaming me for ruining her Birthday.

That’s ridiculous, I didn’t even know it was her Birthday.

 

 

How about some last minute submissions…

 

 

Let me just close out this Christmas by saying … 

 

 

Thank you for all the wonderful submissions (I couldn’t do this without them), for all the support, but mostly, for the kind and uplifting words that receive from you guys in the comments and by email.  That’s what makes this all worthwhile for me. To know that my efforts and my words are touching someone, making someone smile, or think, or get uplifted in some way … then it’s all worth it.

From my family to yours, may the joy and blessings of this Christmas season, the celebration of the birth of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ be with you all today and throughout the coming year. I send this with the overwhelming love of my heart.
