A Visit With Last Month's Starbucks Winner Rita Welagala


So, you’re a HumorQ champion.  To what do you credit such an impressive sense of humor?

Maybe going to Catholic school?

Do you have some sort of ritual that you do that helps you submit champion caliber captions?

Wearing some big clown shoes helps.

Are there certain people you’d like to approach and say “Remember that day you said I wasn’t funny?

Sister Mary Alberta

Let’s say you realized a tiny goat family has been living in the glove compartment of your car, what would you say to them?

That's where I keep my kid skin gloves!!

Fair is fair.  Do you have a question for me?

What do you get out of this?

It's sort of like hosting a party.  There's time, effort, and a wee bit of money involved, but at the end of the day, I feel like I gave the people a good place to hang out for a little while.  I'll hate if it's ever over.  There will be all that picking up to do. 

Is there another website (besides HumorQ.com where we put a number oh how funny people are), that you would like the world to know about?

I'm setting  up an AboutMe.com  It's not open yet. It's to promote my book, which is also not ready yet.

Well, let us know when the book is out, I'll want to get that one.  You probably didn't know this but I wrote a book myself.  It's called "Don't Hide When Your Pants Are Full". and it's available at Lulu.com.
Finally, is there anything else you would like to share with the people learning about HumorQ?  

It's a good brain exercise.

HumorQ Champion Tanya Amberson Shares about HumorQ

Here's an interview with our latest HumorQ Champion, Tanya Amberson...

So, you’re a HumorQ champion. To what do you credit such an impressive sense of humor?

I guess I'd have to say my husband because he always makes me laugh. I was a pretty serious person before we got together, but I guess his wit has rubbed off on me over the years.

Do you have some sort of ritual that you do that helps you submit champion caliber captions?

Well, I usually look at the new cartoon in the morning or the night before. Sometimes a caption pops into my head right away. If it doesn't I let it roll around in my brain while I paint (I'm an animal artist) and I seem to always be able to come up with something. Now, whether that something's funny is a whole 'nother ball of wax.

Are there certain people you’d like to approach and say “Remember that day you said I wasn’t funny? Well my humorq is 200” ?

Maybe my Dad when he use to say "That's not funny missy", usually before I really caught heck. But if I said that to him now I don't think he would be amused. I definitely didn't get my sense of humor from him.

Let’s say you realized a tiny goat family has been living in the glove compartment of your car, what would you say to them?

No idea, although I would feel like the butt of a bad joke.

Fair is fair. Do you have a question for me?

What's YOUR humorq?

Oh boy, that's a loaded question. Right now I don't play because I have the keys to the database, and if I we're a champion, my brothers would say I cheated. I'm very anxious to pay someone else to hold the keys, so I can play too.

Is there another website (besides HumorQ.com where we put a number oh how funny people are), that you would like the world to know about?

I'm going to engage in some shameless self promotion and tell people to visit my site at:

http://www.AmbersonArt.blogspot.com

My husband and I are animal artists and are always available to do custom paintings of pets, wildlife, etc.

Finally, is there anything else you would like to share with the people learning about HumorQ?

Just that it's a lot of fun and I'm looking forward to more people signing up and participating. If I can create a winning caption then anyone can create a winning caption.
