Humor, arr arr.

Let's see, what really funny stories did I encounter recently?

Well, first of all, if you're a fan of "Once More, With Feeling" (the Buffy musical), you must run right now and read [livejournal.com profile] maybethemoon's HP version of it. Yes, I know, it's been done before, but trust me, Moony knows not only how to do parody/pastiche (her casting choices are superb; I love how substituting Snape/Lockhart for Tara/Willow lets that whole memory charm thing parallel beautifully), but she can FILK, too! ("I'm under your spell./Flying like a broom/Maybe we should get a room?") Go here...

[livejournal.com profile] sloanesomething wrote Cutting the Cake, which should have you scaring the neighbors laughing. The lunatic backstage view of James and Lily's wedding. Features kick-arse-and-take-no-prisoners Lily (“Don’t. Fuck. With the bride.”) and I will never forget that kitchen scene. Go here...

And this would take you three minutes tops, to read, except at the second paragraph I had to lie on the floor and howl and howl for quite some time before I could get up and resume reading this short little parody. Harry Has Two Godfathers, wry and clever as hell and not-a-set-of-dry-britches-left-in-the-house-hilarious. Go here...

*gets up from the floor for laughing too hard*

Thanks for pointing Harry Has 2 Godfathers for me.

*laughs* I've read "Harry Has Two Godfathers" before, but that that didn't stop me from rereading it - and cracking up when Snape shows up at the PRIDE parade! ^^;
