Silly is a supreme state of being. Silliness systematically triggers one of two responses: giggles or sarcasm. Both are highly regarded in the royal household. Book smart - phooey. Smart alec - bravo! Fart jokes - fits of giggles. Gastro anatomy - fits of yawning. Hence the love of the Sweet Potato Queens. And Saturday Night Live. Maybe there were a few years when it wasn't cool to laugh with the Not Ready for Prime Time Players. But they are funny again. Their website is funny too. You can watch skits! Be sure to watch the emmy-winning ** in a box music video with Justin Timberlake.
Silly is a requirement on NPR's Quiz Show "Wait, Wait, Don't Tell Me." There are sample questions. Take the quiz and see how well you're tuned in to the world of the absurd!
