I'm not funny anymore. I just thought I'd say it loud and clear so that we can all move on with our lives. Thank you.

You probably thought this was a pregnancy announcement, didn't you?

This thread isn't funny.

Posted by rivka (Member # 4859) on :

I think it's rather sweet that you're saving your Funny for at home.

And no, but that's because I know that when such a thread is needed, it will have the absolutely most innocuous title possible. [Big Grin]

Jon, word on the street is that you are being very antagonistic towards me. What gives? You used to be cool.

Posted by Jon Boy (Member # 4284) on :

Antagonistic? ¿Que?

Posted by T_Smith (Member # 3734) on :

Ya!! Gosh! Antagonistic! That's the word on the street, didn't ya hear me!?

Posted by saxon75 (Member # 4589) on :

What's this "anymore" stuff?

Posted by rivka (Member # 4859) on :

Hmm. Not on my street. It says SLOW.

Posted by Papa Moose (Member # 1992) on :

Nice prelude -- build trust first through clear, concise, honest statements, then the 'thank you' to make it sincere. Well done.

So... what's the announcement?

Posted by Jon Boy (Member # 4284) on :

My announcement is that my last shred of self-esteem has withered away and died.

Posted by saxon75 (Member # 4589) on :

Sometimes it hurts to see somebody else running down the same joke street as you and do it so much better. ::sigh::

*grin*

Jon Boy, Funny doesn't die. It must be... sleeping. It can't go away forever. Come back, Funny! Come back!

Posted by Javert Hugo (Member # 3980) on :

Never mind. My point is made - Pop stole all the Funny.

Posted by Jon Boy (Member # 4284) on :

Maybe it sailed away to the Undying Lands, where it can forever remain young.

Posted by Brinestone (Member # 5755) on :

The Undying Lands are clearly Tolkien's metaphor for death, and as katharina said, Funny doesn't die.

Death cannot stop true Funny. All it can do is delay it for a while.

*mopes* You know you're invisible when you accidentally post a great straight line, and no one else notices.

Posted by Brinestone (Member # 5755) on :

*pat pat*

I noticed, rivka.

WHAT ARE YOU DOING!?!?!?! ARE YOU WORSHIPPING HIM?!

Posted by Brinestone (Member # 5755) on :

I don't feel sorry for you. Some of us, when we try to be funny in writing, always end up making people groan instead.

Posted by saxon75 (Member # 4589) on :

What's more tragic, though: to have had the funny and lost it or never to have had it at all?

Posted by T_Smith (Member # 3734) on :

Well, as someone who's never had it at all, I would much rather have had it and lost it.

What really stinks is when you’re stuck in a ten year lease on poorly maintained rental funny.
