MY thread for me
Someone (i can't remember who off hand and i cba checking) posted the other day about "not being understood" in relation to their humour or something.
Anyways i think i am understood just not by everyone.
So what i'm gonna do is this ... Every now and then i'm gonna post in this thread when i crack a joke or make a funny in my real world and the majority of the people there go "what?" but another couple of people chuckle away (and make me feel like it was all worthwhile).
This is MY thread for ME but i thought i'd allow GD to see when i think i'm being witty and if it turns out that i'm generally shit then i can find out and maybe alter my lifestyle choice but if it turns out that people here think that the other people in my real world truely are as shit and stupid as i think they are then i get to feel all vindicated.
I'm funny ALL THE TIME tho so i predict this thread will reach 1k posts very quickly :rolleyes:

Re: MY thread for me
Today's incident:
Walking home from work we're complaining about the way leave allocation has been changed which has resulted in a Dayna not being able to get the night off to see U2. She hasn't got a ticket yet anyways but another colleague was gonna sell her one for £60.
<Dayna> I mean i can't afford the £60 at the moment anyways
<Dayna> Pat said i could just pay him back later, whenever, tho
<Me> He normally asks for your watch when he does something like that
<Dayna> What?
<Me> I said he normally asks for your watch
<Dayna> But i don't have a watch :confused:
<Me> *sigh*

Re: MY thread for me
BTW this isn't really a comment on how ground shakingly funny i am.
These are just quips in a normal conversation.
The kind of thing you (hopefully) smile briefly at and move on (so don't be too harsh on them etc)

But I wouldn't count on GD as some sort of standard of humour or sanity.

Re: MY thread for me
After reading that Nusselt thread recently i too managed to say the line 'Shot in the face by bullets, not cum'.
It went down quite well in the pub mind.
I'm worried GD has altered me over the last 4 and a half years

Re: MY thread for me
We spent a good portion of today laughing at how the new guy in the team is
a: Completely unable to pronounce any names that arent Anglicised. Highly amusing in a job where you spend all day speaking to Foreign Nationals.
b: Managed somehow to forget how to say "Moccachino" and asked us to get him a "Choffeecock".
And scarily , the first thing i thought of was Yahwe. As a choffeecock sounds like some kind of high class rent boy.

So you wouldn't mind people constantly calling you a fag, trying to rape you, talk in non sequiturs 70% of the time, make strange refferences to made up words, bicker for hours about a misspoken word, being utter racist (for "comedic" purposes".
Not to mention the hypotetical situation of a guy rambling for 2 hours about "Yo Mama/ Yo Girlfriend" untill the other guy challenges him to knackers whackers.
All things I miss deeply in RL.....
I could do with a more widespread use of the sarcasm that occurs here on GD, though. I'm sarcastically starved.

You've just listed GD's most redeeming features as if they're bad things.

Re: MY thread for me
So I'm doing a product demonstration with this really big customer and one of their guys comes in and he has a really big spot on his face so I point at him and tell the whole room that 'he has teh AIDS lolololol' and then they all laughed and in no way asked me to leave and never come back and blacklisted our company from ever seeing any revenue from them whatsoever but it's all good because I thought it was funny and I could post it on GD.

Re: MY thread for me
Today while waiting for my friend's girlfriend with him and he was wondering where she was and why she didn't answer her phone I said "maybe she's got face cancer".
It did not go down well.

Re: MY thread for me
A saturday or two ago I was driving past my grandmothers house besides my ex girlfriend (who happens to be a good friend of since years) and I asked her, 'hey let's visit my grandmother for old times sake'.
She was pissed off, and thought I was a heartless asshole. My grandmother died a year ago. I thought it wasn't that bad

From an outsiders point of view, we just dont have redeeming features. From an insiders point of view, theres a ****ing tremendous amount of community spirit. Thats the point im trying to make.
And the fact Yahwe cant raise more than 35p tells me hes been spending far too much on Rentboys this month, and needs to look into his budget a little more closely.

This is objectively wrong. Sometimes when people start up a thread for serious discussion which has been done to death before their thread won't get that much attention but largely if there's any sort of effort put into the initial post people will reply.

Re: MY thread for me
I often talk to mind friends about raping little boys, and we all plan on gang raping on of our mate's hot sisters. "Surprise sex" is a topic of great hilarity, and one of my friends says she wants me to rape her. We consider a facial to be punching a woman's teeth in after ****ing her face, and rohypnol is considered "a man's best friend". My token black (indian) friend asks to be referred to as "nig nog" and wants everybody to hate him and call him "nígger" by the end of the year, and he hates pakis (as do we all).
In other words, my life is General Discussions.

It amazing the kind of things people tell themselves... I mean, how else would somebody be convinced that GD has redeeming features....
Life is like a spiral...
At the bottom: GD and believing it has redeeming features...

Re: MY thread for me
so last night we were lying in bed talking about getting old
and i said 'i don't want to get old.. old people pee themselves'
which probably isn't as funny as it was last night but it was funny at the time.

I laughed, but more at the comment at the end of the sentence than the actual joke
I don't use any GDisms IRL, partly because that'd mean having friends I could say them to :P

When I read this I laughed so hard that I peed myself. Then I noticed I was old. Is it still funny if it's true?
