Jolly Pizza Monday!

Good Monday morning, dear friends!  How was your weekend?  I stayed indoors … too cold out there for this old body!  Do you realize that the entire month of January is almost gone???  WHERE did it go???  We’re almost back around to Hallowe’en 🎃 … then Thanksgiving 🦃 … then CHRISTMAS 🎄 AGAIN!!!  😱  Somebody slow time down … PLEASE!!!

Anyway … we thought since it has been a while since we’ve had a pizza day, that’s what’s on the menu for today, so grab a bite and let’s try to find some humour to start this last week of January off on the right foot!  🦶


What say we start out with some music puns today?


And Jolly found us some strange and fun signs …


And on to everyone’s favourite part of Jolly Monday … da ‘toons!!!


And here are just a few fun and interesting facts we’ve collected …


And once again, if it’s Jolly Monday, there must be a funny animal video, right?  Today’s comes courtesy of our friend Scottie over at Scottie’s Playtime … Scottie is a gem and often sends me snippets and videos he thinks I might enjoy or be able to use in my posts.  Thank you, dear Scottie!

Well, dear friends, time to get busy I guess.  We do hope those smiles we see will last you throughout the week, but if they start to fade, you can come back any time for a refresher smile … Jolly ‘n Joyful have a basketful of them!!!  Keep safe and warm, and have a good week!!!  Love ‘n hugs from Filosofa, Jolly ‘n Joyful!!!

    • Let’s see if I can help. On the Bob Marley one … the line from the song is “I shot the sheriff, but I did not shoot the deputy.” The pictures are of Johnny DEPP, an EWE, and Mr. T — Depp-ewe-tee. And the Christmas carols one … the song Joy to the World by Three Dog Night (I played it a bit ago https://jilldennison.com/2024/01/23/♫-joy-to-the-world-♫/) begins with the line, “Jeremiah Was A Bullfrog”. Hope that helps clarify! I’m so glad you enjoyed this week’s Jolly Monday and I hope you have a good week ahead, my friend!

      • Haha, I thought it be something like that, but I didn’t recognize Johnny Depp on the photo, and I don’t know Mr. T.
        Yes, the second one was a real insider, I assumed that it would be. I dont listen to all the music that people post, it is getting too much, that is why I never show up on your song posts. Especially the last two days where filled with other things like hospital with my husband etc. I will write about it in my next “Headlines”.

        • I rather thought you probably didn’t know Mr. T … he only featured in one program that I am aware of and was something of a one-night wonder here. Oh! I’m so sorry to hear about your husband … I’ll be on the lookout for your next post. Hang in there, my friend. I hope he is better soon!

  1. Hi. Jill thank you for finding a use for the videos I send your way. Some days all I want to do is watch funny animals for a while until the world makes sense again. I hope the videos I send you are a small help for you and your posting schedule. You do so much each day anything I can do to assist you is something I enjoy doing. Best wishes for all this week. Hugs. Scottie

    • Thank YOU, Scottie, for thinking of me and sending them! They are a big help for my Jolly Monday posts!!!

      Trouble with watching funny animals while waiting for the world to make sense again is that … the world still won’t make sense even if you watched funny animals non-stop for a month!

      I hope you have a calm and peaceful week this week, dear friend. Is Ron feeling better? Hugs

      • Hi Jill. That you get any joy / benefit from them is real joy to me.

        Thank you for asking about Ron. Ron is feeling better. His torn knee / leg muscles are almost totally healed and the tooth infection antibiotics are finally helping. But the issue if he put off dealing with that damaged tooth for so long, it became infected, and that caused a trip to the ER. They gave him the medication to fix the infection, plus a couple pages of dental places that worked with or helped low income people.

        Being Ron, he took the medication, the pain went away, and he put the papers away also. So It came back. He again went to a sort of ER called convenient care. So they again gave him medication and more of the same papers.

        At first while he was in pain he looked into those papers, now that he is feeling better he is ignoring them. Here is the thing, I can gently push him, but if I push too hard he will shut down on it entirely.

        Which is weird to me, because he micromanages my medical needs. He always has, he is like my personal doctor. He monitors my blood sugar, refuses to let me do anything that he thinks may hurt me physically, often asks me if I should lay down, and recently has been arguing with me over with I should do the dishes as he thinks it is hurting me.

        I am so frustrated. I am not sure how to get him to go to one of those dentists / schools on the papers. I even tried the “If you find one you like, I could use them also”. But that did not work, he said he would get to it later.

        So what do I do, if I push too hard, he will get angry and upset. If I don’t push him, he won’t do it. I am torn and unsure of what to do. Hugs. Scottie

        • Ron sounds just like me, Scottie!!! I am the same, and the more someone pushes, the more likely I am to ignore the situation. My daughter learned this long ago, and she might gently suggest something, but then she knows when to drop it. I think you’ll just have to give Ron the space to decide when to take the situation seriously … if the pain becomes too big of a burden, he’ll do what needs to be done. You guys are so awesome — caring so much about each other! Love ‘n hugs, dear Scottie!

  2. Thank you, Jill, for another great collection! I love the idea of the 3-D crosswalk, and I bet that would actually work. At least, for a while, anyway. I love checking the website for hits, and the dog piloting the plane, getting the perfect spot!

    • Jolly Mondays might just be my favourite post of the week to do! Two or three hours spent gathering the best cartoons and other funny things, then sharing them with my friends, hoping to bring a smile or a chuckle. I’m so glad you enjoy them! Yeah, that crosswalk is some awesome artwork!!! Have a good week ahead, my friend!

    • Oh I know that one about the “Cat Leader” is true! We have four and they ARE the bosses! Glad you enjoyed Jolly Monday, Pete, and I hope you have a good week ahead, despite the troubles you’re currently going through.

  3. You always outdo yourself with the comics. I pick a best one and then it keeps changing. LOL! And WOW Sampson is huge!
    Who would ever think that one could be saved by fire ants!! Amazing! My son has sky dived twice now, as I have held my breath both times!! I have to show him this. Happy Monday, my friend! Hugs and Smiles.

    • Only the best for my friends!!! Yeah, I cannot imagine even getting onto Samson’s back, let alone ride him! I double-checked that fire ants story, and it is true! Amazing indeed. Oh my … I would die of stress if either of my kids tried sky diving! I can only imagine you holding your breath! Did he enjoy the experience, or was he scared sh*tless? Happy Monday and I hope you have a wonderful week ahead! Hugs, cheers, ‘n love!

  4. I can’t get over the size of Samson unless the men were very short! Looks like he was well behaved as well and didn’t realise what chaos could be caused if he had a tantrum. Who says you need red meat to build muscle!

  5. Yay, how can you not already smile when Spongebob welcomes you? The series started when we spent our year in the US. My son is only about 2 months older than the first episode… lol. It always reminds me of that time.
    Oh, and I couldn’t agree more… crazy, how fast this month is already ending. Although, I don’t mind it. January is such a boring month… lol. Always glad when it’s over and when the year is in full swing!
    Have a great week, dear Jill. Thanks for always making our Mondays so funny🤗

  6. Jill, even good comic art cannot take the groan out of bad dad jokes. There are several chuckles, but my kids would leave the room if I said a few of these. Keith

    • Well, it WOULD be handy to have him for opening jars, but I’m not sure how well he would otherwise fit in! Imagine all 8 arms going at once … he could knock everything off the kitchen counter within 5 seconds!

  7. This month indeed just flew right by, Jill. The past and coming week are unseasonably mild. I don’t mind but it’s also concerning. Lol. Hopefully Loretta the cussing bird is found soon. 😆
