Spoofs, Jokes and Trolls

Right.

I want a serious debate about this.

I started a joke thread, in my own name as usual, about a neighbour stealing a spoon.

It was questioned as "trolling" and I got told off by Rebecca at MNHQ.

Are spoofs and/or jokes no longer allowed?

Since when?

And why?

What do people think about spoofs, jokes and trolls and the difference theereof?

I think I may have upset that poster in the past TBH. Grin

Oh well, fuck 'em.

GetOeuf · 28/03/2013 09:58

Well, we have all upset people. No need to act like a creepy bastard and respond to everything you say with a bitchy comment.

usualsuspect · 28/03/2013 10:03

True, GetOeuf, It does get on my wick.

I can't remember if I have crossed her before or not, but I assumed I had. Not seen her around for ages.

She obviously doesn't like me though.

Which AIBU thread with cum in it? Because last I looked there were 2, both of which I started to post on and then became bored.

Fact: Most useful sentence in the Joss Whedon Lexicon is 'Bored now.'
Fact: Second most useful sentence in the Joss Whedon Lexicon is 'I'll be in my bunk.'

If we had signatures, the above is what mine would say.

How's that for Thoughtful Thursday?

HotCrossWeaselInSinisterBonnet · 28/03/2013 10:08

Obviously my thread on that word is excellent. And thankfully started before the horrifying one.

HotCrossWeaselInSinisterBonnet · 28/03/2013 10:09

And I'm rather relieved that Tee got bored, she kept posting the C word

TheDoctrineOfSnatch · 28/03/2013 10:12

Love "Bored now." If only saying it triggered the flaying people alive power though...

I told DS1 to use 'Bored Now' on the thug at school who tries to trip him up on his way into class every day. We practised on his tone on the way to school and I'm confident he has it just right.

I hope it works for him.

Tee2072 · 28/03/2013 10:19

I hope it does too, Fenton. With just the right tone, it's very effective.

It helps, as well, if you happen to be wearing all black leather with red lace trim and are a vampire.

I couldn't post in that gushing cum one.

I couldn't even read it all tbh.

Did it all kick off?

Did someone post what I was thinking, that the OP had not been "cumming" (I hate that word) but pissing herself? For the last 16 years or whatever it was?

And excuse me usual I welcomed you back up there somewhere
I said I missed you and everything.
And you don't even throw me a wave?

I may report that. For hurting my feelings or done other shit I can make up.

HELLO USUAL. IM GLAD YOU ARE BACK. I MISSED YOU

I have done no work again so far this morning. I have eaten half a smarties Easter bunny. It was very nice.

I have just lol' d at sm's random post about liking 'it's all gone Pete Tong' but her dismay at it not sounding right in a scottish accent. Grin

and LineRunner's joke:-

So this termite walks into a bar, and says, Is the bar tender here?

And the bartender says, No, it's been previously frozen and never recovers its full turgidity upon consumption.

usualsuspect · 28/03/2013 10:58

I am back, Beer.

I have read loads of books on my kindle, so the break was all good.

But it's still a bit shit on here TBH.

Tee2072 · 28/03/2013 11:01

Okay. The Mother Arrives day after tomorrow so I really need to get off my ass and get back to the cleaning.

Do link me if anything interesting happens. I seem to miss most of it.

nenevomito · 28/03/2013 11:02

Wotcha Fenton. Was wondering where you were loitering these days Grin
