~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Beloved Sisters and Brothers of the TT Portal!
In the past, my detractors have claimed that I am too frivolous. Too
silly, too flighty, too giddy, too goofy, too harebrained, too
exuberant, too lighthearted, too puerile. To them I simply quote the
inimitable Oscar Wilde, "seriousness is the last refuge of the
shallow."
Now regarding depth, it's not an area for which I'm known to be
particularly strong. Indeed my intellect has at times compared less
than favorably to a wading pool. Nevertheless, I shall remain steadfast
in my commitment to manifest into my world more of that most singular
of blessings, the much beloved and treasured seventh heart virtue, Sacred Humor.
Toward that end I am personally sponsoring the first Portal Collabetition... uh huh, I just made up that last word... 
The theme of this event is Icons of Sacred Humor or, Funny Pics We Love to Share.
My vision is to tap our collective Sacred Humor Wisdom to start a
living document that serves, informs, inspires, and enlightens our
efforts as we move forward in personal and global transformation. For
those of you who are moved to participate in this great adventure, more details may be found here...
Oh, and I should add, there's chocolate involved...
Looking forward to hearing from you all, I remain,
Your humble servant in laughter and loving service,
Brother Bodhi

Hey! I think I know her! Yea, the lights were dim and it was my first dance in typical middle school sock hop fashion. Sure, she felt a little bony, but it was my first dance - just good to hold anybody from the opposite sex, even if she was freshly dead...
Ahhhh, those were the days....
Chris

The clock is ticking...
deadline for your entries is this Sunday, April 20th, at 04:20 PDT...
I know there are more funny pictures out there, so don't hold back...
We've had some good entries... thanks to those who have already contributed!
Here are the leading contenders so far...
Excellent! Welcome! Congratulations!
You made it this far...
The bottom line is... Can you go the distance???? 
Here's the next step in the first Portal Sacred Humor Collabetiton:
Send me the funny pictures. Any subject, genre, or style will do. Absolutely no limits. None. It just has to be funny to you (or a stunning portrait of a classic cartoon character). Your own or others' photos, art, cartoons, drawings, sketches, signs, it's all good. Don't worry about copyright restrictions, none of these pics will be published outside the Portal.
Helpful Hints: the web is a great resource. For starters, try a google search on funny pictures. But don't stop there. Use your imagination. Streeeeeeeeeetch yourself. Go ahead. It'll be fun, I promise...
Torture me with tickles, assault me with amusement, bombard me with burlesque, puncture me with parody, smite me with slapstick, maul me with mirth, and fracture me with frolic. Go ahead. It's ok. I can take it.
Send your pics to my email here: [email protected]
Prizes (organic chocolate) will be awarded in four categories:
most hilarious
most esthetically pleasing
best fringe art (think "playing with our shadows, with heart, humor, and extra lube"...
)
best classic cartoon character
Submission guidelines:
Submissions will be accepted until the next full moon.
Send as many entries as you wish.
In the case of duplicate submissions from two or more entrants,
the entry from the earliest submitor only will be accepted.
The later entries will be duly noted and greatly appreciated...
but disqualified anyway. So sorry...
You may begin...
Here's a cute one to get you started...
Yours in eternal gratitude, joy, love, and humor
Bodhi
PS. for those of you who want to go for the gold, or in this case chocolate, think sacred classic icons of humor, medium to large size, and it may (no guarantees) help to remember I sometimes have a uh... slightly twisted sense of humor...

Fair Greetings All!
