I'm laughing.

Only because you posted it.

Sorry. You're wrong.

Only in your world, where everything you post is funny.

And you just agreed with Hank. Good luck with that, comedy boy.

Explain how I agreed with Hank, dumbass. You asked him to clarify what he meant with the "one funny thing 400 times." I am telling you that this is what he meant, not agreeing with his statement. There is nothing to agree about.

But, I'm also telling you it's not funny, so it can't possibly be a one-funny-thing-400-times situation, since it was only funny the first (maybe) two times. Therefore I am doing the exact opposite of agreeing with Hank.

I'll be here waiting for your "I don't care about anything" post.

I suspect that if you're from Chicago, it's still kinda funny. Not only is it a local topic, but they seem to be into increasing the shelf life of jokes in Chicago (see, e.g., taxwonk). Must have something to do with the sausage industry.

Ying-yang. The forum has returned to its natural order.

Quite true.

He said he'd rather be funny 4 times than be funny many times using the same joke. I thought this is what you were agreeing with.

Beating something into the ground can be funny, and beating something into the ground WAAAAAY past its "sell by date" can be even funnier. For example, see 'The Family Guy', where jokes extend so far past the point where they should have ended that they become funny again.

Whether you think it's funny or not is irrelevant. Not everyone has your sense of humor. Too. Fucking. Bad.

I'm not a woman, but your subconcious desire to dominate people still creeps me out.

But if Hank doesn't think it's funny and you don't think it's funny - isn't that agreeing with him?

And I thought Chicago was the home of chewing gum, not sausages. Sausage industry is Milwaukee.

see 'The Family Guy',

My son, 12, too young to watch this, loves it. He forced me to watch it. It was pulling teeth, but once I got past the stupidity of it, and accepted the characters, I actually find it funny. It took about 10 episodes, but still.

Well then you understand. This is how I feel about the NBA.

The State of Oklahoma is petitioning to remove a judge from the bench. His crime:

While seated on the bench, the judge used a male enhancement pump (think Austin Powers), shaved and oiled his cock, and whacked off.

No desire to dominate you. No point in that, really. I'm just pointing out to you that what you think is funny is now just tiresome and annoying. Post it another 100 times, if you want. But someone should tell you that although you're convinced of it, the joke (that I don't think you even started) is no longer funny. Now it's just stupid. It's an opinion, not an order.

But I like the "Too. Fucking. Bad." bit, with the periods and all. Why don't you post that another 130 times?

Like on Taxi when Christopher Lloyd was taking his driving test and the gang showed up to help him cheat. He asked them, "What does the yellow light mean?" They whispered back, "Slow down." So CL said, "What . . . does . . . the . . . yellow . . . light . . . mean?" They replied, "Slow down."

The director had instructed the cast to keep repeating this until the audience stopped laughing. On the part that aired, they must have repeated the bit 5 or 6 times. The first time got a decent laugh, second time, not so much because it was expected. After the third time, the laughter began increasing, because the the repetition itself was unexpected. I know I was laughing my ass off by the end of the espisode.

Notice they only did this technique once during the run of Taxi. Why wasn't it repeated?

I made a call to the director, whom, even at that age, I dominated.

what a sick bastard. I'm looking forward to the cash awards that are sure to come to his law clerk, the court reporter and all of the people assigned to that task of disposing of his bodily fluids.

Hank, don't run for judge.

Judge Dredd,

You have an "ignore" button. Use it. But don't try to impose your will on the rest of the board based on your own personal sense of humor and your caveman-like desire to control everyone else's.

AoN, that avid pursuit of that theory certainly accounts for the prominence of some members of our little community.

(If not measured by humor, then at least by longevity and pure posting tonnage.)
