Probably my single favorite thing about the Boards is how funny people are. Sometimes it seems like too much trouble, or distracting to the thread ,to post just to say “HA!”, but damn, some funny stuff gets said here. So here are a couple recent exchanges that have made me LOL, with posters identified so they can take a bow if they want. Who or what in our demented little crew has made you laugh lately?
Hee! One of my comments made it in, even though I was only the one setting it up. I’ll come up with some, but I had to say - Cervaise’s comment cracked me up, then cracked my SO up, too.
Qadgop, most likely, in a thread about LOTR, discusses whether Gandalf really had magical skills. “It’s not like the book said ‘And then Gandalf casts a spell.’”
The first time I saw the phrase “We’ve secretly replaced [poster x]'s Cheerios with crack cocaine. Let’s see if he notices” made me laugh and giggle and then giggle at random moments throughout the day. It was in response to a particularly random crazy outburst, and the timing was just perfect, and it was the first time I’d seen it on a message board.
I’ve seen it many, many times since, but it’s not been nearly as funny (and sometimes just seems likely desperately reaching for the funny).
In a thread about the ideal funeral, Wild Bill posted he wanted a sign mounted by his corpse, saying, "Gotcha ya!"Typo, of course. But Eve caught it.
And one I did but someone else noticed, when I said something like “of course McDonald’s shakes have milk in them. It would be such a scandal if not. It’d be like the French Fries fried in beef fat and the Hindus.”
And someone said, “They fry French Fries in beef fat and Hindus? How do they keep it so cheap?”
ANAAMIKA, I agree, but EVE’s response to WILDEST BILL’s post is a true board classic that deserve to be reposted. The thread is here.
WILDEST BILL said “I really don’t want to have a boring funeral like everybody else has. . . . I want the morgue dudes to put me in a cool looking suit and put a big like smile on my face. Then I want them too arrange my hand like a gun so when people lean over and look I’ll be saying ‘Gotcha Ya’.” Catching BILL’s unintended typo, EVE posted:
