Have you ever thought a post of your was exceptionally funny
Only to realize that it wasn't as it sinks like a stone?

6. We should form a club.
We could sit around and laugh at our own jokes.

24. yes, had a really funny one once,
and one of the best because it was all orginal but some overworked heavy handed mod who shall remain nameless (mclargehuge) locked the freakin thread. Not that moof is bitter or anything, how was the mod to know that moof ethics preclude any moof thread from being reposted
or kicked more than once & then only in extreme circumstances.

8. Sometimes
Occasionally though, I post something that's utterly ridiculous and I end up with massive responses. :shrug:

14. No, I'm sorry, it wasn't
I appreciate you being nice and all, but it really was kind of a mediocre joke.

17. Not really. When I first started posting
here at the DU, I would sometimes post on a thread that was "cold as a stone" meaning, no one looks at them any more. I didn't realize that threads have a life span of about 6 hours, and they're dead in the water.

Some of my best stuff went on those "dead threads". But I really wasn't too concerned. I liked reading 'em. Especially when I would get red hot about Bush, or Big Daddy Dick.

I LOVE reading what our other very intelligent, sarcastic, funny, interesting and lovable DU:ers have to say. But I also like reading my own stuff, too.

Nobody understands my humor except for my daughter. And I'm the only one who laughs at her. Poor kid.

31. Yep, I think I'll keep my day job
I'd rather have them sink here than sink in a room full of people staring at me.

Actually, my sense of humor sinks in all arenas.
