In Reply to: What's the point of some other jokes? posted by Neil on February 28, 2002 at 15:21:19:
from now on, we should label every joke in every post 'noonch, moron', so that everybody can have it nice and spelled out for them.
: I laughed. Not really hard, but a little. I thought that was the point of jokes -- to make people laugh.
Yeah, honestly, I don't imagine it could've been all that much funnier. (That's not me being cocky, just that it was a one-joke idea that I spent all of a minute on because I felt like that was what it deserved.) I'm really glad it inspired all of this, though, I'm constantly entertained by this board.
: I'm not sure how "sounded like a flamer" fits into the complaint, that was the point. It was a spoof of a flamer from earlier on the board, he even lifted phrases from it wholesale.
Did I really? The only one I consciously lifted was "--ex-fan". I believe you though. Just tell me that I made up "fan-hating ass-head". I liked that one.
: It's like complaining that YOUNG FRANKENSTEIN looks like a Universal Monster movie rather than a wacky comedy and still claiming that you have a sense of humor.
Actually, the only reason I replied to this post was to say, to this point, "You're my new favorite board-guy." Especially since Smalls hasn't chimed in on this yet (Where are you Mikey????).
