#okeh laughing record

[honourablejester]

This is the Okeh Laughing Record, an American 1922 dupe of a German 1920 recording. It did the rounds on tumblr a while back (original poster in 2012, 2018 by the time it reached me), though it wasn’t actually stated at the time what it was, and I love this record so much. Most of the comments were about how creepy it is, but I found it delightful. Still find it delightful.

I’ve had those hysterics, where everybody’s primed and something random happens and before you know it everyone’s falling over. We had a Christmas dinner one year, bacon, and I remember putting some brown sauce on my plate from a squirt bottle, and the bottle made a farting sort of noise, and abruptly the entire dinner table was in complete hysterics and we couldn’t extricate ourselves for a solid five minutes or so. That’s what this record is. I don’t know if it was recorded on purpose, or if they’d genuinely booked the recording studio for the music he starts playing, and then the random bout of hysterics mucked it up, but they’d already paid for the session, so why not record it anyway? But it’s hilarious and familiar and I’ve been there, and it’s amazing that these people literally a hundred years ago had the exact same experience, but happened to record it. And/or knew of the exact same experience and set out to record it.

One thing that fascinates me, there is apparently some debate as to whether the male laughter and the instrument player are the same person or two different people. I have to say that they really sound the same to me. Every time, just before he starts audibly laughing, the cornet player starts sporfing and sputtering where he’s laughing into his instrument, so to me it sounds like he just pulls his instrument away from his mouth and laughs normally when he gets too overcome, before attempting to play again a while later and failing again just as quickly. They could be two different people, but the instrument splutters every time just before he starts laughing, so I really think they’re the same person.

New episode of the Ephemeral Podcast (produced and densely edited by Alex Williams) includes about 40 minutes of me explaining the Okeh Laughing Record, which I've often called the Greatest Record Ever Made. Recorded almost 2 years ago.

Show Me What to Do (request)

I’m sorry I haven’t posted in a few days because I haven’t been feeling super well but people seemed to really like this request so I didn’t want to leave everyone waiting for too long. This is smut. ♥

"Hey, give that back!" You called but broke out into laughter when one of Alex's arms wrapped around you and he tickled your side, making you gasp. "Stoppp!" You squealed, trying to free yourself from his arm and trying to get back your diary that he'd snatched from your bedside table.

You had forgotten to put it away before he came over. It wasn't like you had many secrets that you were keeping from him, but your diary was rather private. Especially because you had written about him in it several times. And there was no lock on it.

You somehow managed to knock it out of his hand and grab it from the end of the bed, clutching it to your chest and holding on to it as if your life depended on it.

"Damn, love..." he said. "And 'ere I were, finkin' yeh told meh everehthin'..." He pouted dramatically as he let you go, dropping his shoulders and exhaling loudly.

You rolled your eyes at him. "I do tell you everything" you said. It was true, he knew everything that there was to know about you, except one little thing. Except, it wasn't little. It was a rather big secret but you knew it was better to keep it to yourself.

"Then wha's in there tha' I can't see?" He asked.

You knew he had been joking, but now he seemed more serious and slightly worried that there really were things that he didn't know about you. And you understood why that concerned him, you would feel terrible knowing that you were left in the dark about some aspects of his life, his mind...

"It's all ... girl stuff."

Alex laughed. "Girl stuff, eh? Well, tha's what yeh get when yehr best mate's a girl, I guess..."

You sighed. You knew he was your best friend, your best mate, ever since you'd moved in next door to him before starting kindergarten. But for a while, hearing him say it made you wish he was saying something else. You wanted to be something else for him. You had liked him for quite a while.

"I guess..." you repeated with a sigh before putting your diary into your beside drawer. "Don't you dare read this" you said to him, knowing that he was just teasing you but that you could trust him to respect your privacy if he knew you meant it. "Please."

He nodded. "Alrehyt..." he said, shuffling to lie back down on the bed but turning onto his side to look at you, his head resting against his hand, propped up on his elbow.

You also moved to settle down beside him. "I am so full..." you laughed.

"Well, yeh ate tha' whole large pizza" he chuckled.

You rolled your eyes at him. "So did you, Al."

He grinned. "Yeh but I didn't fink yeh'd eat tha' much..."

"Have you met me?"

He laughed. "Just always amazes meh, I guess..."

"I can't wait for you to be famous so we can go to all those fancy places celebrities go to" you hummed, closing your eyes.

Alex giggled. "Yeh're so sure the guys and meh are gunna beh famous..."

"Because you're amazing. You need to get out a record already so I can buy it and listen non-stop to it..."

"Well, yeh've got me demos and mixtapes" he said and you could hear the smile in his voice.

"And they're my favourite thing to listen to."

You had always supported him, the day they had started playing, when he'd first gotten his guitar, back when he'd played piano, always you were there as his number one fan. And as much as you liked to fantasize about him becoming famous, it also worried you. You didn't know if he, as a person, was made for fame, if he could cope with it.

"Just don't forget about me, Turner."

You heard him shift and opened your eyes to see him staring right back at you.

"Yeh kno' I won't ever forget yeh ... weh've got so maneh plans, love..." He bit his lip. "Yeh'll come and see the word wif us, reyht?"

You smiled softly, nodding. "I can't wait" you said and closed your eyes again. The room was dark either way but you felt so at ease with him there, always able to relax like this.

It was quiet for a while and you had almost drifted off to sleep, when he broke the silence again.

"Is everehfin' okeh wif yeh, love?" He asked.

You opened your eyes and looked back at him. "What do you mean?" You asked.

"I know yeh ... I know yeh don't 'ave teh tell meh everehfin' but ... if there's summat yeh ... tha's on yehr mind ... yeh kno' yeh can tell meh ... whatever it is ... like..."

You bit your lip. "What do you think it is that I'm not telling you? I'm okay, Al."

"I dunno, like ... boy stuff."

Colour crept into your cheeks and you were glad it was dark. "Boy stuff?" You asked quietly.

"Yeh ... I dunno why yeh wouldn't tell meh but ... 'ave yeh been datin' ... I ... I've noticed at school tha'..."

"That what? I'm not ... dating anybody. And if I was, I would tell you!"

"Just noticed one of the guys seemed interested in yeh..." he said quickly. "Just ... tha knows ... I want yeh teh kno' yeh can tell meh stuff ... and if someone's not treatin' yeh reyht..."

"Has someone told you anything?" You asked. You didn't know where he was getting this from. What did he think you were keeping from him?

"Wha'? No" he said quickly. "I were just wonderin'..."

"I'm not dating anybody. You'd know. I never ... have." He knew this but maybe he needed to hear it again for you to believe him.

"Summat else?"

"What?"

"I weren't datin' when I..."

You bit your lip. "Are you asking if...?" You swallowed.

He looked down, blushing. "Yeh don't 'ave teh tell meh..." he said awkwardly. "I ... sorreh. 's realleh none of me business..."

You took a deep breath, wondering if maybe you should tell him you'd done it, were dating someone even, just to see his reaction. But that wasn't like you so you decided to settle it once and for all. "I'm a virgin" you blurted out.

His eyes snapped up and he looked back at you. "Yeh ... oh..." he said, now not feeling too great about his suspisions. "I ... I didn't mean teh..."

You rolled your eyes. "It's fair that you want to know, Al" you admitted. "I would've been worried if you hadn't told me too. So I get it. It's just ... it's one thing to talk about you but me ... just makes me feel weird..."

"Weird?" He asked. "I ... 's just meh and ... I'm not judgin' yeh..."

You nodded. "I know but ... it's like ... everyone at school's done it, most of the others anyway and I just feel like ... left out..."

"It's alrehyt teh not beh readeh ... I were fuckin' nervous as 'ell..."

"But ... but I think I am ready..." you said quietly and it was your turn to look down, avoiding his eyes.

"Yeh shouldn't want teh ... do it just because everehone else 'as done it, love..." Alex said softly.

"But ... I just think ... I mean, I ... I want to..."

"Is it ... oh..."

"What?"

"Yeh've got somebodeh in particular in mind, don't yeh?"

Your heart skipped a beat and you looked back up at him. "What? No!" It was your automatic response but he was right.

"But yeh don't want it teh beh anehbodeh either?"

While he'd been awkward before, he was now comfortable talking about it. You knew that it was because it was just you, you and him like you always had been, able to talk about anything without any awkwardness once you got comfortable. "No, I don't ... of course I don't" you sighed. "I just want it to be someone who ... who won't go bragging to everyone and who is ... who I trust ... who's careful and..."

You stopped when you felt his hand on yours and looked back at him, his eyes meeting yours, like he could read your mind. Sometimes you felt like he really could.

"Tha knows, if yeh're realleh sure ... weh could ... meh and you..."

Your eyes widened. "What? N-No, I didn't mean-..."

"I know. But ... honestleh ... 'earin' yeh talk about it ... I don't trust anehone teh ... teh treat yeh as ... respectfulleh as I would..."

"Al..."

"No, I can't stand the thought of anehbodeh else..."

You swallowed. Was he really saying this? Was he really suggesting ... taking your virginity? You had not even allowed yourself this would actually happen in your wildest dreams. "Do you ... do you mean it?" You couldn't think straight.

He smiled and shuffled closer to you. "I do..."

You couldn't believe it. Were you asleep already? Dreaming about this? "You don't think it would ... be weird afterwards...? With us being best friends?"

"Nothing can change yeh bein' me best friend, love..." His thumb caressed your hand and he reached out to place his hand at the back of your neck, slowly guiding your face to his. "C-Can I kiss yeh?"

You swallowed, your breathing slightly shaky but you nodded, closing your eyes and the space between you, his lips meeting yours.

Your heart fluttered as he kissed you softly, his fingers brushing through your hair. This was really happening. You slowly parted your lips and kissed him back a little more eagerly, sighing softly. He tasted sweet, like the Dandelion & Burdock he'd had earlier and his lips were so soft.

"Weh'll onleh do this if yeh're readeh and if yeh want teh..." he whispered against your lips before kissing you deeply again, both his hands cupping your face gently, his thumbs brushing lightly over your cheeks.

"I-I want this, Al..." you replied shakily.

The mood had shifted ever since he had suggested this. You hadn't needed much convincing and now you were here, his lips moving on yours, feeling so much better than you could have ever imagined. You remembered kissing him on the playground for a bet once, just a peck and you'd both made sick noises after. Kissing a boy, ew. But now kissing this boy made your heart beat so much faster, made you lean into his soft touches. It was strange, kissing your best friend now as well but you had wanted this for too long and it felt ... natural now as you fell into a rhythm.

As you both pulled back to catch your breath, he looked at you with his soft, big eyes that had you melting. He'd never looked at you like that. "I..." he said. "Yeh kno' I'm not tryin' teh pressure yeh..."

"No, Alex, I want this" you said again, maybe a little too quick because he chuckled and pecked your lips softly again.

You sighed, pulling your sleep shirt over your head with one swift move, watching his eyes drop to your bare chest. "Fook ... yeh're so 'ot..."

You giggled nervously, a faint blush creeping into your cheeks and you quickly moved to kiss him again, cupping his face this time and moving your lips with more determination.

He wrapped one arm around you and you moved to lie down to pull him on top of you without breaking the kiss. He held himself up over you but as you were trapped underneath him, a sense of warmth overtook you and you ran your hands down his bare chest, humming into the kiss.

When he drew back, you pouted, looking up at him as he rested his forehead against yours. "How're yeh feelin'?" He asked with a soft smile.

You giggled nervously. "Like I ... trust you..."

He smiled, brushing your hair back. "And yeh're realleh sure?"

Rolling your eyes, you nodded. "Yes, are you?"

He chuckled, pecking your lips again. "Vereh ... let meh ... try and make yeh feel good..."

You swallowed when he sat up, taking his warmth with him but only moved to slowly push down your pajama shorts. You shifted to help him and pulled him back to you with your arms around his neck as you kicked them off your legs, pushing your thighs together to ease the tingling feeling there.

He kissed you back needily, one of his hands traveling down your body and toying with the elastic of your panties. "Yeh're sexeh, love..." he whispered against your lips, making you blush darkly as his hand slipped inside your underwear and you tensed.

"Alreyht?" He asked, not moving any further and lifting his head to look back at you.

You nodded quickly. "Yeah ... just ... not used to someone else..."

He smiled. "Just meh, love" he said softly. "So yeh've done this ... alone, yeah?"

Even though you felt like it wasn't really possible for your face to heat up even more, you felt yourself blushing even more. "Y-Yeah..." you admitted.

"Don't beh nervous 'bout tha..." he assured you. "It's ... hot..."

"It is?"

"Finkin' about yeh touchin' yehrself? 'ell, yeah..."

You pressed your lips together, looking up at him again. "U-Um..."

"Tell meh what yeh like ... tell meh what feels good..." he said slowly and you felt his fingers pushing between your legs, just teasing your folds, making you gasp softly and shut your eyes when they brushed against your clit.

He smiled at your reaction and picked up on it, lightly teasing your clit, gradually adding more pressure when he felt you hold on tighter to him and your soft moans became louder.

"T-This feels good..." you whispered, your hips bucking up into his touch almost automatically.

He lowered his head down again, nuzzling into your neck and pressing soft kisses to your skin. With your body pressed closer to yours, his fingers working between your legs, you suddenly felt him against your leg, hard in his underwear.

You took a deep breath to gather up the confidence and reached down to touch him, making him tremble for a moment.

"Love, yeh don't 'ave teh..." he mumbled against your neck.

"I want to make you feel good too..."

He sighed appreciatively when you palmed him through his underwear and you felt his fingers teasing your opening, moaning softly.

He paused for a moment as if to wait for your permission and you nodded. "Please..." you whispered, tensing when you felt one of his fingers push inside you, moaning softly as you tried to get used to the new sensation. "F-Fuck..."

"Tell meh 'ow it feels, love..."

"Al ... it feels good..." you whispered, finding yourself pushing your hips up to get his finger to push deeper inside you, moaning softly as he continuously flicked your clit to add to the sensation of his fingers inside you.

You hesitantly moved your hand into his underwear, wrapping your fingers around him, biting your lip at how big he was, wondering how it would feel ... if it would fit...

"Fook, love, yeh're gettin' so wet..." he mumbled against your neck, his hips moving into your touch as he began sucking lightly on your skin and you felt his finger slide inside you more easily as he pushed it back in before slowly attempting to add another, making you cry out softly, one of your hands gripping his arm. "Yeh alreyht?"

You nodded eagerly, starting to move your hips slowly along with the movement of his fingers he started to slowly work in and out of you, drawing soft moans from your lips that got louder each time you felt his fingers stroke your walls. He was filling you up, making you squeeze his fingers and you squirmed, feeling yourself get closer. "Al..." you whimpered when you felt his fingers push inside you as deep as he could and he curled them inside you, making you cry out and squeeze his arm. "Please..."

"Are yeh readeh teh let go for meh?" He asked and you whimpered softly when he repeated the motion of his fingers, his thumb starting to rub your clit with more pressure.

"Yes..." you whispered, your hips moving with his fingers as he sped up their movements, curling them inside you at the same time as he pressed down your clit, making you cry out and come undone with a gasp, the pleasure washing over you and you felt your walls contracting around him as if to keep his fingers inside you and he continued stroking you through your orgasm, pressing soft kisses to your neck, guiding you through it with soft praises of your name. Your legs shaking, your eyes shut tightly, you held onto him, overwhelmed by him filling all your senses.

Once you'd relaxed underneath him, he slowly pulled his fingers from you, making you whimper and look up at him desperately. You wanted them back inside you, your walls now contracting around the emptiness they'd left. Your breathing was heavy, your face flushed and your heart was beating fast.

"Yeh alreyht, love?" He asked softly.

You nodded eagerly, bringing your hand up to the back of his neck and pulling him in for a needy kiss.

He moaned softly, kissing you back with equally as much passion and you felt his hips slowly starting to grind against you, one of his hands moving up your side, feeling your breast and kneading it gently and he hummed into the kiss.

"Do you want to ... now ... um..." you mumbled against his lips, afraid he would for some reason change his mind.

He lifted his head, smiling. "Yeh're realleh sure about this, love?" He asked softly, sitting up.

You nodded. "So sure..." you whispered.

He smiled and shifted to the side so he could take off his underwear, making your eyes grow wider at the sight of him. Despite having felt him, he looked even bigger now, in the dim light of the bedroom. "A-Al..." you said as you hesitantly pushed down your own underwear, looking up at him doubtfully when you kicked it off.

"What, love?" He asked, looking back at you worriedly.

"Just..." You swallowed, shivering. "You're big..."

He blushed, biting his lip. "If yeh're unsure..."

You quickly shook your head. "No, no, I ... just ... just worried..."

He moved so he was on top of you again, pecking your lips. "I'll go ... slow, love ... and I'll beh so careful" he assured you softly. "This is ... I'll do what yeh tell meh ... if it 'urts and yeh stop me, I'll stop ... yeh're ... yeh're in charge 'ere, love ... yeh're the captain..."

You giggled, stroking his hair back gently. "The captain?"

He chuckled. "Yes..." he smiled. "All on yehr command, love."

You smiled to yourself, shaking your head at how sweet he was being. He could sense you were nervous, tense, worried and he wanted to reassure you, making sure you felt comfortable. And you knew he'd been right. He was the perfect choice for this, not only because you secretly had this major crush on him but because you also didn't trust anyone more than you trusted him.

"Readeh, love?"

You nodded. "Yes..."

He reached down to give his cock a few tugs before moving his hand between your thighs to spread them apart slightly, shifting to position himself at your entrance.

You tensed, biting your lip and looking up at him.

His eyes met yours and he smiled softly at you. "Remember what I told yeh..." he said softly. "I meant tha'..."

You nodded, closing your eyes and gripping his shoulder when you felt his tip at your entrance, your breath hitching in your throat when he slowly pushed inside. His fingers had already filled you up but this was a whole different thing, you doubted he could fit inside you.

"R-Relax, love..." he whispered, pressing soft kisses to your neck and your jaw. "F-Fuck, yeh feel so good but yeh ... yeh 'ave teh relax for meh..."

You only realised now how tense you were and you breathed out, trying to do as he said so he could ease himself inside you but the stinging feeling, his cock stretching your walls ... it brought tears to your eyes and a quiet sigh of discomfort escaped your lips, making him freeze.

He lifted his head, looking up at you. His eyes widened. "No, love, I'm so sorreh..." he said, quickly pulling back out and wiping your tears away gently with his finger.

"N-No, it's okay, I'll be okay!" You assured him. You knew you would do this eventually and what better person to do it with than him? He was so patient, so sweet and gentle, it was him or no one.

"I don't want teh hurt yeh..."

"It'll get better, right?" You asked quietly.

"Yes, I ... are yeh sure?"

You nodded eagerly. "Yes, Al. Please..."

He bit his lip before slowly pushing himself inside you again, a little further than before before your breath hitched in your throat, your grip on his shoulder tightening. "Alrehyt, love, alreyht..." he said softly. "I can feel yeh ... open up ... yeh ... yeh're so wet ... and f-fook, yeh feel so good" he praised.

You whimpered softly when he sunk deeper inside you. "A-Alex, you're so big..." you whispered.

"I ... yeh're doin' so good, babeh, yeh feel so good ... fook..."

Despite the stretching feeling being uncomfortable, you slowly started feeling good, his cock pushing deeper inside you. You squirmed underneath him, wrapping your arms around him.

He placed his hand under your thigh, gesturing for you to wrap your legs around him as well and you did so, moaning loudly when you felt him sink all the way inside you.

He stilled his movements, letting you get used to the feeling of him inside you, your walls squeezing him as he filled you up, throbbing inside you, pulsing inside your heat. Alex moved his head to press a soft kiss to your lips, brushing your hair back gently from your face. His breath was shaking just as much as yours and you could feel his heart beating against his chest, sighing.

"A-Al..." you whispered after a moment. "C-Can you move?"

He nodded eagerly, moaning when he drew back a little before pushing back inside you again. "Does tha' feel good, love?"

"Fuck, yes..." you whispered, running your fingers through his hair, twirling the strands at the back around your fingers and tugging lightly on it, making him moan softly.

He moved slowly at first, until he was sure you were okay and he wasn't hurting you before picking up his pace slowly, moaning each time his cock pushed inside you, filling you up.

You whimpered, feeling every inch of him sinking inside you, rubbing your walls and reaching so deep, filling you up so good. He felt so good and you felt so incredibly close to him, holding on to him as your hips rocked together.

"Damn, love, I'm so close alreadeh..." he whispered and you could tell he was trying to slow down to keep himself from releasing too quickly.

"Me too" you assured him, running your fingers through his hair, letting your other hand travel down your body to rub your clit, playing with yourself to increase the pleasure.

"F-Fook, love, yeh're so fuckin' hot..." he whispered. "Yeh look so good..."

You moaned. "Alex..." you whimpered. "I'm going to..."

"Let go, love..."

You moaned loudly, crying out his name as your body trembled, your walls contracting around his cock and the pleasure washed over you, more intensely than before and you panted, holding on tightly to him, tugging on his hair as you rose out your orgasm, moving your hips, little shocks of pleasure making your body tingle each time he pushed inside you again.

He held you through your orgasm until you started to relax before pulling out of you, giving himself a few tugs, moaning with each stroke of his hand down his shaft and squeezing his hand around it until he released.

Your eyes were glued to him, watching him in awe. You'd gotten him so turned on, you'd made him feel this way. And he looked so hot, his eyes on you as he jerked himself and released half on the bed, half on your leg. His hair had fallen into his eyes and the soft groans falling from his lips just made you want to listen and watch him more.

Once he'd calmed down, he collapsed beside you, panting. "Fook, love..."

You smiled, shuffling closer to him and running your fingers through his hair to calm him down, still breathing heavily yourself. "Y-You ... that was amazing, Al..." you said quietly.

He opened his eyes, looking back at you sleepily. "It were, yeah..." he said, biting his lip. "Fook, I can't believe weh did tha' ... yeh're so damn hot, love..." He wrapped his arm around you, pulling you close and you laid your head down on his shoulder, cuddling close to him and pulling the blanket over the two of you.

"So are you" you said, pressing a lingering kiss to his jaw. "You're so handsome too, and so caring and ... protective ... I'm so lucky to have you, Al. Thank you for ... this..." you giggled.

He laughed softly, shaking his head. "Thank meh? Babeh, tha' was ... fook ... I ... thank yeh..." he chuckled.

You rolled your eyes, messing up his hair but staying close to him. "I ... you were right. I wouldn't have trusted anyone else like I trust you" you sighed.

He was silent for a moment and you thought he'd fallen asleep but then he spoke again. "I fink I 'ave teh tell yeh summat..."

"Tell me something?" You asked, looking up at him and stroking the side of his cheek gently. Cuddling was nothing new for the two of you but skin against skin, reveling in the afterglow of both your orgasms, feeling him holding you, so warm, breathing in his scent ... you were so close and you couldn't help but wonder how this would change things. You sincerely hoped it wouldn't.

"Yeh kno' how yeh were sayin' about our friendship..." he said slowly.

You tensed, worried he would address just that.

"N-No, love, not like tha' ... I ... this was so great but ... I've ... I've been keepin' summat teh meself as well ... I 'aven't told yeh everehfin'..."

You swallowed. What if he was dating somebody? Why had he done this? The worst case scenarios ran through your mind, bringing your mood down from the highest high to so low you wanted to disappear.

"I like yeh."

"What?"

"I like yeh, 'ave for a while, like ... more than just the way I like yeh as me best mate ... yeh're ... yeh're so pretteh and I can't ... I don't feel as comfeh and 'appeh wif anehbodeh but yeh, love."

You couldn't believe this. This wasn't real. You were sleeping now, dreaming, maybe you had been all this time.

"This is why I were askin' about yeh datin' and stuff..."

"You were ... jealous?" You asked in disbelief.

He chuckled nervously. "A little, maybeh ... okeh, no ... loads ... 'ad I found out you'd been doing summat with anehbodeh ... I would've been vereh jealous ... none of them other blokes are good enough for yeh..."

You bit your lip. "And you?"

He licked his lips. "Meh? Well, I fink no one's good enough for yeh but ... I know yeh ... I'm always 'ere for yeh, I can promise yeh tha'..."

"Al?"

"Yeah?" He asked nervously.

"I like you too" you said. "This is what I haven't told you. I even ... I wrote about it in my diary."

"W-What?"

"I've liked you for a while but I thought for a while, you know when you did it with ... I thought you liked her and ... I didn't want to ruin our friendship but ... it's been ... I..."

You suddenly felt his lips on yours, kissing you softly and pulling your body close to his. You sighed softly, pressing yourself closer to him and kissing back needily. "Alex..." you whispered.

When he pulled back, he had the largest smile on his face, his features illuminated by the moonlight shining into the bedroom. You stroked his hair back gently which had fallen into his eyes again, smiling back at him.

"Question..." he said quietly, biting his lip.

You kept your eyes on him, continuing to play with his hair. He'd always liked that. "Hmm?" You hummed.

"Will yeh ... will yeh beh me girlfriend and me best friend?"

You giggled at his wording, still unable to believe that this was happening. "Yes" you whispered, pressing a soft kiss to the tip of his nose, making him scrunch his face up.

"Yessss" he said. "Success" he giggled before moving to press his lips to yours again.

You might think weird humor is too inscrutable for “old people”, but this is called the OKeh Laughing Record and it sold around a million copies in the 1920s.

Our grandparents thought a clarinetist being interrupted by hysterical laughter and occasional fart-like noises was LOLarious.

"The OKeh Laughing Record" by Lucie Bernardo and Otto Rathke 1920 / 1922

[circusheart]

in the five years since i posted this i forgot that it was a dream and have mentioned multiple times to people "oh yeah, that time that tumblr went batshit over the okeh laughing record and people were cancelled and harassed because they didn't think it showed a clear portrait of domestic abuse." this says a lot about society

had a dream that The Laughing Record was the latest hot tumblr discourse becaus someone insisted it was abusive

Wheeler Realty's (WHLR) Chief Executive Officer Jon Wheeler On Q4 2015 End results

Introductions and thanks for visiting the Wheeler Realty Investment Trust 2015 Fourth One-fourth and also Year End Conference Call. Additionally, accompany with a close friend the upcoming opportunity their workplace possesses a provider picnic or even feature - this is actually an excellent means to meet someone which you know is actually liable enough to manage a job and also who you can easily 'browse through' along with a familiarized good friend just before you consent to a date. Presenting other extra extreme instances, such as the theater blackface act of 2 Dark Crows, and also a minstrel feature who captured for Okeh Records in the late 1920s as being much much worse compared to Amos 'n' Andy, this is actually a flimsy debate. During the course of the Center http://diet-style2016.info Ages, as well as as much as the overdue 18th century, individuals who kept dark pet cats were most likely to become targeted as being a witch, because of an anxiety that the cat was occupied by feeling from the Devil, and would harm all of them while they slept.

Mincey, teacher from community service at Columbia University. Before you laugh aloud at my unawareness, and also chuckle, she believed she had Indian in her loved ones", understand this: I had not been just told I was Native American and also Black through my father, I was told a number of his earliest loved ones obtained adjustments off the federal authorities. This lady was simply constantly brutal, unfavorable, drainpiping as well as venomous, and every six months or so would certainly sit me down and inform me exactly what a shit good friend i was actually and also our experts will try to function it out. That appears extra like a Filofax compared to something even more pricey, as well as with similar places wanted for papers, memory cards and your marker this absolutely is almost as multi-functional as the yuppies bestfriend in the 80's. Spider-Man 3 is a game that was actually developed to demonstrate the outline from its own film namesake, Spider-Man 3. In numerous ways the game is extremely just like its own forerunner, Spider-Man 2. The activity is actually recounted through Bruce Campbell, a personal pal from the Sam Raimi, the movie's director. Black employees know one thing that analysts are still attempting to discuss: White supervisors frequently worry, are without of analytical documentation aside, that dark laborers are most likely to sue them or even group in the workplace and attempt to transform traits, Royster said.
