What happened to the funny?
A comedy conversation

Once upon a time, there was a website at this address that was really funny. There was a guy who dressed up as Michael Jackson and fooled a lot of people, who ate penis pills and took photos of bacon wrapped sausage.
Nowadays, on the front page, the articles read off like this: "A Prank that Would Have Been Really Funny, But Didn't Happen", "I ordered a Pizza.", "I Called Around for Plane Ticket Prices", "I Ate a Hamburger", "I Tried to Get a Credit Card with Fraudulent Information, and Was Declined."
Where's Bob Johnson and Chi Chi?

You know what to the funny? The funny happened when people decided to leave and then come back and ask "Where's the funny? Where's GAB?" That's goddamn comedy gold right there. I'm laughing so hard that I coughed up my lung onto my living room carpet. Thanks so much for coming back and inserting that much needed punchline. Well worth the wait!

Funny is subjective. What John has done with his website might not be funny to you, but it's funny to others. Try lurking a bit and see what we've pulled off. You might be impressed.

Chi Chi was a douche. He probably still is a douche, but he's a douche somewhere else now.
Bob Johnson is still awesome, but now he's an awesome husband and father, and doesn't have as much time for us. He shows up every once in a while and reminds us that it won't be long before our Tralfamadorian overlords extinguish our puny lives.

Go right ahead, Phla, and I might even agree with you to a certain extent. But what is the point of even bringing it up? We're not factory employees who can be motivated to increase production. Even if I was capable of being funnier, I'm not going to work harder at it because someone tried to shame me into it.
And that's all it is - pointless shaming. He didn't even try to be funny or original about it. If someone is going to walk into my house and Shakespeare in my living room because he doesn't like my color scheme, he should at least make his point with rainbow colored poo.

I guess my frustration is not that this type of thread happens at least every 6 months, but that sometimes it's from someone who was never even a blip on the funny radar when they were here.
It's one thing when someone who was a real part of the heartbeat of this place steps in to say something like it's not like the olden days. It's quite another when pieface or whatever his/her face shows up and feels like he/she/it needs to take the proverbial rainbow Shakespeare in the living room.

Chickens, I think it's rather amusing that you dismiss my part in what this site was. I've done tons more lurking than I have posting. In fact, If you were to check my profile, you'd see that I've given my fair share of input ('zugz') on this site. I'd like to point out that many of those were given to you,
as you're one of the funnier ones.
Basically, what I'm trying to say is go Frost yourself, and stay funny.

A Cherry Slurpee may work for red.
Of course you could also eat lots of Chili, but then your Emerson would burn.

askance
I Frost-ing love that word. It never looks correct when I write it out, and it sounds funny when pronounced. Which, really, I never do, because who the hell would use that on a regular basis?
I also enjoy the word "skein" - like a skein of yarn - for those of you who are taking notes.

But I'm heading for my second straight month in number 1. Me.
If Lobster gets on that list it'll be time to jump ship.

I think the main problem is that I showed up and started posting. If you create a graph comparing the overall monthly funnyness figures to the number of my posts (including experiments) you will see an obvious relation between the two.
I think people just humor me because they are afraid I will shoot them or cook their corpse in an unusual manner.

I'm a little unclear here on what the usual manner is. Is it on top of a Pinto?
