They don't seem to understand funny over there.

3. I've tried, too. It almost always falls flat.
Hey, are we gonna talk, or what?

6. Yeah, sorry, my fault. We'll talk next week. Unending crises this week.
Emergency trade-show booth panel hoo-ha.

You know, being in business would be a hell of a lot easier it if weren't for the damn pesky customers...

13. That it would.
But then we'd all be painters and sculptors at the mercy of clergy and kings. What's the difference?

8. They don't?
I suspect that they do. Funny goes in the lounge. That's just how it is. Some such as yourself like to challenge the status quo. Shouldn't be surprised when you get beat back.

9. Yep, that's right. And frankly, I didn't see anyone in the linked
thread getting real twitchy about it. Not sure what the big deal is. :shrug:

11. I didn't say it was a big deal.
I guess GD isn't the only place where people have an underdeveloped sense of humor.

18. For someone who claims to be just joking, you seem incredibly
testy about all of this.

10. No, I didn't do it to challenge the status fucking quo.
Jesus. Don't ascribe motives to my actions that aren't true.

I don't make a habit of trying to get around the DU rules, much less "challenging" them. The rules are reasonable, and are the only thing that keeps this place from imploding.

Just trying to have a bit of fun. Sheesh.

15. GD sucks. And not in the good way.
Nor does the lounge at times either.

Just smile and carry on.

19. No, they don't understand a lot of things over there.
Edited on Sun Dec-04-05 09:45 AM by Jamastiene
They are way too serious and are sometimes known to argue over silly pointless meanings of the words they do know. It's creepy over there. Just try to step in a start a post saying hello. Watch what happens. I won't do it any more. :scared:

22. joking about vegetarianism or veganunism can get you killed around here
don't play with fire . . . you can almost choke on the sanctimony and self-righteousness.

23. If you were in any way surprised by the reaction you got
then you must be a newbie.

THERE IS NOTHING FUNNY ABOUT THE SLAUGHTER OF ANIMALS FOR OUR TRANSITORY PLEASURE!

I think the above is in the site rules.
