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?

Not to mention the bunfights about how you pronounce scone (it rhymes with stone btw)

FunnysInLaJardin · 28/03/2013 22:08

ffs, this is a lovely chatty thread and there are deletions and interlopers. Huls don't flounce again. And who is this Pan of whom you all speak?

I have had.....pink G&T, pink wine, red wine and white wine and a Very scary experience with moving undersea wallpaper. This is the last thing I need. DO YOU HEAR? THE LAST THING.

YOU ALL KNEW I HAD THIS GUN........

I went to HMV today and bought 3 cds, at £5.99 each.
The Best of James Taylor.
Bruce Springsteen
and Bob Dylan.
So not only am I an old gimmer for buying cds, I have seriously old gimmer tastes.
Hums along to 'You've got a friend'

So what is everybody else listening to?

Ha! Pretty Weasel, I was going to link to a picture of a cream tea, but the choice of jam or cream first overwhelmed me.

As long as you indulge on your own, or in the company of your best-beloveds, cream teas are the answer.

MadameDefarge · 28/03/2013 22:10

ta hot cross.

HotCrossWeaselInSinisterBonnet · 28/03/2013 22:10

Poor Mia thank goodness we intervened on time Usual?

Can you imagine if he attempted to soothe a thread by the suggestion of a cream tea? Shock

HotCrossWeaselInSinisterBonnet · 28/03/2013 22:11

TuftyFinch · 28/03/2013 22:11

Lady, Zombie has the same tastes in music. Good innit?

LRDtheFeministDragon · 28/03/2013 22:13

Wow. That was super fast. So fast I don't have an email telling me what I did wrong. Hmm

What was it, MNHQ? What guidelines did I break, exactly? I'm assuming being jokily sarcastic/mildly on the wind-up is absolutely A-OK, since there's plenty of it on this thread that was souring it up.

HotCrossWeaselInSinisterBonnet · 28/03/2013 22:13

Oh fuck.......

LRDtheFeministDragon · 28/03/2013 22:13

weasel - Grin I have an image of myself as a none-too-cunning pissed-off cat in a basket now.

I shall roll over and purr, ok?

FunnysInLaJardin · 28/03/2013 22:14

tufty it's freaky. the lights change from green to red to blue to orange and the fucking wallpapers changes and moves from sea cucumbers to squid from fluorescent to glowing. Mine gott. I thought I was tripping man

LadyBeaEGGleEyes · 28/03/2013 22:14

Wow, that was quick LRD. I didn't see anything there deletable either.
Mine was even quicker.
Come on MNHQ, who's on the delete button tonight?
This is getting silly.
