Must . . . resist . . . urge . . . to . . . use . . . 1920’s style “Death Ray” . . . on . . . other . . . dopers . . .
From Giraffe:
As it did me. RIGHT the fuck up. And I was previously skimming past Michael Ellis’ Death Rays, as well as everyone else’s, prior to this one.
Funny shit here. 1920’s Style Shit.
Would a death ray hidden in someone’s underpants be considered a weapon of ass destruction?
The death ray joke doesn’t annoy me particularly, but I know what you mean when you say that jokes are overused and repeatitive.
A message board I used to belong to, there was this girl who thought she was so call and uses the phrase “Your ass smells like cottage cheese, so be gone.” She uses it over and over and over and over again. She thought she was SO witty for saying it. But thing was, she was the only one who would use it. It wasn’t like it was a board wide joke or anything. Needless to day, she annoyed me to no end, and I wish she would dissapear.
Being repeatitive just causes people to get extremely annoyed.

bolding mine
Now THAT"S comedy!
You know, with all the garbage on the board, and all the “me too” posts and other shit, it doens’t seem like the 1920s thing is such a big fucking deal. I mean, how fucking hard is it to simply scroll past it?
oh, and this:
cracked me up also.
Like this, perhaps?
Yes, I thought this thread was going to be about that. Specifically, the way he abused it in Thylacine’s thread.

I really, really wish the death ray joke would meet a very quick, painful and sudden death. If I read it one more time I might shoot myself in the head (but not with a 1920’s style death ray).
It’s not fucking funny. It’s even less fucking funny when it’s repeated in every single fucking post on the SDMB.
None of the other jokes annoy mean half as much as this one. It seems like every poster and their grandmother’s dog has said it at least once.
Just cut it out please! Just for a day? One day to be death ray free? Is that so much to ask?[sub]ARRRRRGGGG!!![/sub]
Oh and I thought his comment in **Thylacine’s
** thread was grade A jackass material.
So here we have the “must…resist…” thing that precluded his assholish Nelson laugh that got him warned in the other thread. Anybody need any more proof that he’s dancing along the jerk line, trying to get a rise out of us? I don’t.
Exactly. When is the next smilie election? I move we recall this guy: ;j and replace him with the linked one. (When would one use the ;j , anyway?)
When we talk about the Jewish ;j scientists, who were crucial to the develpment of 1920’s style “Death Rays” and about Isreali use of similar weapons in both the 1967 and 1973 wars. ;j ;j
Which is why I specifically pitted his pathetic limp little needle dicked ass over “ha ha-ing” Alice in Wonderland’s thread mouring the death of her pets.
Methinks there is the aroma of a long line fishing boat moored underneath a bridge emanating from this particular specimen.
Well, your are right ** Zenster ** I do smell kind of fishy. Do you know of any good deodorants that work under water?
Actually I don’t get it. I guess it’s “campy”? Some ignorance feels good.
I see. Strike the root, right?
That would be cool, but I seem to recall that the administration frowns on animated smileys for some reason which I can’t remember right now. (something having to do with bandwidth and the need for this board to move along at relatively high speeds, or something similar?)
I wasn’t around for the debate over Smashie, which was an animated smiley that they used on the temp board when they had the Winter of Discontent. (from December 2001 to March 2002, caused by hackers or some such) But they decided not to use Smashie over here for those vague reasons I cited up above.
As for when we’d use ;j, I have no idea. Not sure how they came up with the idea in the first place, actually. (I’ve heard the reason, but don’t remember right now)

think it means “oy vay.”
Thermite.
I have a secret!
I know I’m imperiling my life, but at least those brave “death ray messengers” have a point, even after all this suffering. Oh God…
The Death Ray = TV!
…it’s all coming together now… Substitute THE TV MESSAGE for DEATH RAYS and you’ve got Theology!
ecccchhh, i’ve got to wash my fingertips
Heh-heh. I was the very first poster to make a snide remark (well, actually, a dry quip) about 1920’s-style death rays, after Dogface accidentally posted the line three times. BMalion was technically the first one to comment, but all he did was parrot Dogface.
Yes! It’s MY doing! Ah-hahahahahahaaaaaaa!
