Comics and Cents Carnival: Baby Come Back
Jan 30th, 2009 by Nut
We’re back for another week of humorous money posts. Since I felt so guilt last time around for playing God and deciding what was funny and what wasn’t, I wrote a post about begging that I would send in to the carnival—you be the judge whether it merits being included or not.
Anyway, to kick things off, here is one of my favorite recent commercials: they’ve taken a boring product and made me laugh. A lot.
So this week we have even fewer posts to include in the carnival, so I’m going to have to change the way I do this. I tried getting the word out there a little more and that obviously didn’t work. Instead of making it 7–10 days between carnivals, maybe I’ll do 2 weeks+ or something. That way we can have a real listing of funny posts.
While I’m at it, do your part and tell the world to submit the funniest stuff they have!
Now back to the show:
PatrickCML presents New Stock Market Terms posted at Cash Money Life. I typicall hate glossaries—they’re dry and boring. But here is one that rings true and is entertaining at the same time.
RC presents Top Ten Ways To Aggravate Your Spouse or Significant Other With Your Frugality posted at Think Your Way to Wealth. Here is an old post that goes for that David Letterman zing.
WC (me) presents Money Saving Tip: Street Begging posted right here on The Writer’s Coin. After I wrote it I felt a little guilty—it’s not really a funny thing to be reduced to begging, but whatever. We need all the posts we can get here.
An interesting fact: 80% of the submissions I got were actual PF articles that dealt with real issues. Read the carnival info people!
Hopefully we’ll be seeing more posts next time around…
PS. This post wasn’t submitted but I stumbled onto it and like it, so I’m adding it to the carnival—it’s good to be the king.

Thanks for hosting! This is a fun concept for a money carnival!

Thanks for including my article- I think this is a great idea, especially given the “depressing state” of the economy-everyone could use a few laughs-I am looking forward to future editions.
