Don't you hate it when you post something brilliantly funny and
you get no responses?

On the "jam band" thread, someone was talking about the Allman Brothers, and mis-spelled it "Almond". So, of course, I replied, "Soft Cell is genius! I love Marc Almond!" And nothing! Come on people, that shit's funny! What the hell's the matter with you??!?

Post your best posts from today that got no replies!

The ultimate irony will be when this thread sinks like a stone...

On edit, I posted on this thread:

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=105x2067675

which I thought was very funny, but I guess only if you saw Will Ferrell on whitehousewest doing Bush.

3. Constantly.
True comedic genius is unappreciated in its own time.

6. I've been cracking myself up all day
Then again, sometimes I go back to my posts and realize that I'm not funny at all. Sorry about your almond joke though, wish I was there ;-)

10. No, I didn't.
The post was: "I've always been a little bit biased toward the Almond clan" and the text was: "Many years ago I played in a bottle club in Jacksonville Florida and Duane and Dicky Betts played in the early part.
I talked to them several times(this was before they were stars) and I remember asking them who they listened to. They said "Oh..Charlie Parker, Jim Hall, Stan Getz, Urbie Green"

Needless to say ...my opinion of them went up several steps!"

Now, clearly, he is talking about the Allman brothers. "Duane" is Duane Allman. But he spelled it "Almond". So I said I loved Soft Cell--Marc Almond is the singer for Soft Cell.

Oh, for god's sake. I can't believe I'm explaining this.

35. They were called The Almond Joys
Edited on Tue Nov-23-04 11:13 PM by sangh0
before they started calling themselves The Allman Brothers Band.

The poster gave 3 clues:

1) "Many years ago"

2) a bottle club in Jacksonville Florida - The ABB in a club? I think this must have happened before they made it big

3) "Duane and Dicky Betts played in the early part." - In some small club in Fla, and they're the opening act, and not the headliner?

11. Well....
On the "NZ Dolphins Save Swimmers From Shark", I did note that helping others was their porpoise in life, which seemed to effectively sink the thread. But, then, that wasn't brilliantly funny - more like painfully lame. :shrug:

14. Actually, I'm still waiting
Edited on Tue Nov-23-04 01:46 PM by Mabus
to post something brilliantly funny. I applaud those of you who do and I want to let you know that often, because it is so brilliant, insightful, poignant or witty we are stunned and unable to respond.

Still in awe of many of you.

17. I'm sure that's not true.
My posts are invariably lame, but I say they're brilliantly funny because I have no shame. You should try it. :)

31. Okay, I admit it
There's been a few times when I posted something that I was pleased with. Not sure if they were brilliant but I was laughing to myself when I did it.

22. Yes! I was just thinking this yesterday.
This is what I posted on the "I want to have Olbermann's baby thread.."
http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_topic&forum=132&topic_id=1383135#1383149

In response to this post.

"1. Yes--we could just start a breed of half-Democrat, half-Journalists using Keith's seed. That would be one way to take the media, and our country back"

I said this

Muwhahhhaaaahhaaa!


YES! and then all we need is friggin sharks with friggin laser beams attached to their heads! We'll call this plan preparation H. Because it is after all as a result of getting screwed by the Right that we need to start procreating a new breed of human being A DEMOCRAT WITH AIRTIME!!!!

Muwhahhahhhhahhhaaaaa.....


ok sign me up.

(there is something kind of attractive about Keith right now, this fuck you I'm reporting about election fraud attitude is HOT!)


It's so embarrassing when the only person you crack up is yourself. But hey it's better than a poke in the eye!

Or is it? :eyes:

I keep finding their CDs when looking for Marc.

I am brilliantly funny all the time, and never get any response. I was beginning to think that it might be me, but now that I see your thread here, I realize I am just under appreciated. Thank You.

Edited on Tue Nov-23-04 09:33 PM by FuzzySlippers
but I don't always reply to it. I think unless you have something witty to say in response, you feel kind of lame just typing out LOL or ROTFL or ROTFLMAO. That doesn't mean your posts weren't read and appreciated.

Edited for typo.
