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?

Just don't disappear in a puff of sulphur you mad old trout, because this MN is so much better with you in it.
That's to Hully BTW.
And Maryz
And all the other interesting people.

NOT a mnhq fail.

A santimonious priss fail.

Report that, motherfucker.

habbibu · 27/03/2013 18:34

Seriously - where have you lot BEEN? You'd think martinis were a young people's drink that's just become mainstream.

TheNebulousBoojum · 27/03/2013 18:34

Go ahead Rusty, I'll get DS onto it.
He identified a marrow spoon last week, and added it to his collection. Although it's not like a teaspoon in any sense of the word.

GetOeuf · 27/03/2013 18:35

Lol I thought you were calling helen a mad old troiut.

I have GOT to stop saying motherfucker.

It's that pag's fault, she made me.

SecretLindtBunny · 27/03/2013 18:36

Yes, well thanks to MN I keep using the C word in rl. It's getting me a few catsbum faces.

Pagwatch · 27/03/2013 18:36

low volume to high alcohol is excellent when needing to endlessly pee is undesirable.
I also just had my first mojito. I am relatively naive in the world of alcohol

GetOeuf · 27/03/2013 18:36

I AM YOUNG

Pagwatch · 27/03/2013 18:37

Haha at report that motherfucker.

It's not me Getorf. I blame The Wire.

GetOeuf · 27/03/2013 18:38

Lolol at 'on some level we all are'

I can't be doing with mojitos. All that greenery.

I had a caiparinininha some time ago and that was lovely.

Pagwatch · 27/03/2013 18:40

Hey, I could work my way through the obvious drinks that I should reasonably have tried by now, given my years. It would put an interesting spin on supper each evening. The sunset cruise could be particularly challenging

Hullygully · 27/03/2013 18:41

Oh I love them mojitos and cap do-dahs.

Bloke in a local bar does an apple mojito just delish

I like the sound of caipirinhahahaha. What is it?

Tee2072 · 27/03/2013 18:43

I do not care for martinis.

I'll take a Glenlivet. Straight up. No fucker better put water or ice in my fucking whisky.

And ::bows::

CandyCrushed · 27/03/2013 18:44

Perhaps I was joking too. Hmm

...and then some of you lot decided to take offence at me taking offence.

You see it is all too complicated.

The joke threads are funny, I post on them ffs, but I still think they can be a bit tedious when there are too many of them.

Pagwatch · 27/03/2013 18:44

Yes, what is it?
I'm not saying that out loud though. I would have to write it down.

BOEUF · 27/03/2013 18:45

I like a good slammer myself.

ginhag · 27/03/2013 18:45

I AM REPORTING YOU ALL. AND YOUR COCKTAILS. AND YOUR FUCKING SPOONS.

ginhag · 27/03/2013 18:46

I'm also reporting myself for swearing ON A FAMILY WEBSITE.

And for shouting.

BOEUF · 27/03/2013 18:46

You post on them FFS, or you post on them "FFS"? Because that can look rude. Caprinainahahahaha?

Pagwatch · 27/03/2013 18:47

Well possibly Candy. But did anyone report you?
We can all misunderstand each other but you clear it up on the thread. It's the snidey reporting that is the problem.

A simple 'I was joking guys' would have ended the confusion over your comment. It's not difficult most of the time

Lovely, but if you drink more than about 12 you may be slightly ill, have a fight with a random posh bloke, and break someone's boat. Blush

BOEUF · 27/03/2013 18:49

Wankered Wednesday- I like it Grin
