Does anybody have a sense of humour anymore?

[Guest]

Precisely right! Especially in Italy.

 

[Liar]

Lou, you deleted some comments, right?

Because now it looks kind of funny that Lew is adressing " GET A FUCKING LIFE, LOSERS!!!" into thin air.

I know! LOL!

I laughed at him about that. He doesn't care.

And, neither do I! I just love that he did it. Bless.

He went and read the story and commented after we'd chatted about the comments, but before I'd told him I'd deleted them. He said some were still there when he wrote his.

Ho hum!

Lou

 

[ABSTRUSE]

I have a sense of humor since I lack a sense of style and couth.

 

[doormouse]

I've noticed, even when you delete posts, though they can't be seen on the initial comments page, if you place a vote, they can be seen.

It''s only on the 'thank you for voting page' they can be read.

Sucks, huh? ;-)

Ditto, hunnybun.

Anytime you wanna get in my head for a while, let me know, there's plenty of room.

Cheers for that PC!

I'm more worried about the cobwebs.

Mutter... mutter... cheeky bitch...

Oh, Hi Abs!

Ha ha, very funny!

I said I had a sense of humor, I never said it was a good one.

Hey Lou read your story and enjoyed it. The problem with humor here is that it doesn't have a ready made audience the way the purely erotic stuff does.

Some people like erotic stories and some don't, but those that come here are specifically looking for it, so they will find what they want.

Humor is also subjective. What one person finds hilarious, may bore someone else to tears. There is no way to know if your next reader will share your sense of humor. It is not surprising that you get a lot of very good and very bad comments. People are almost never neutral on humor. If you find something funny you love it, if you don't, you hate it. As long as some people are enjoying your story, don't worry about it.

Please don't let the dreams become nightmares,

lol,
Mike

Re: Re: Does anybody have a sense of humour anymore?

Mine was posted just two days ago so I guess early days yet. It was doing okay with the first 15 votes (4.67) and then I come online this morning to 17 votes and a 4.47. Trolled while I was sleeping. Now its 20/4.55 which I guess is pretty repectable. Still makes me sad.

The feedback's really low compared to my other stories.

Going off to read Lou.

4.55 on a humour story? With 20 votes? I don't even have that many votes on my original story yet, and I posted it months ago In December think it was, when I first joined this place. *laugh*

Mcfbridge, the thing about the humour stories is the fact that the are submitted under Humour & Satire. If people want erotica, then go read in the categories you enjoy, or at least just don't down vote in the categories that you don't specifically enjoy.

Its like a Romance fan going and reading Incest stories and hating them all for some reason.. Well, gee, I wonder why? Heh. There really is no reason to down vote someone if you are reading a story outside of your regular field of reading, unless you were severely offended or something.. Thats why the ladies here refer to those people as 'Trolls'... I bet most of the trolls aren't writers, or are people who think they can write and really can't, or are frustrated writers with extreme writers block taking it out on other writers who aren't suffering like they are.

Well, thats my theory at least

Humour is the Devil!!!!

I wish. I really wish.

Woah.. you spelt humour correctly.. you aren't American..

Woah.. you spelt humour correctly.. you aren't American..

I'm only American when I want to be.

don't tell some people who don't like us, they think we are you, er, you are us, er, oh to hell with it!

 

[Lucifer_Carroll]

don't tell some people who don't like us, they think we are you, er, you are us, er, oh to hell with it!

What they don't get is that I get around a lot. Been a lot of different nationalities.

And what they really don't get is that over half of the stuff they do in my name, I never ordained and much of the stuff they did in the other side's name, I did ordain.

"Oh what fools these mortals be" -Puck from "A Midsummer's Night Dream"

And yes, to hell with it.

 

[doormouse]

Woah.. you spelt humour correctly.. you aren't American..

Yay!!!

Someone else that knows how to spell!!!

I should post my Oh Wise Monkey poem on here hehee
It takes the mickey out of Americans ;-)

 

[doormouse]

Oh Wise Monkey, please tell me do
You can't tell Your drinking water from that of Your loo?
I can't understand Your strange desire
You colour the flush in a blue sapphire

Oh Wise Monkey, please tell me true
You spell the word colour minus the U?
Pronounce the word, then look up Hue
In honoUr, in favoUr and in coloUr too

Oh Wise Monkey, please tell me right
You watch a game of men in tights?
With shoulder pads and helmets hugging each other bums
Queens come to mind... just do Your sums

Oh Wise Monkey, please tell me now
You like the sound of a cat's meow?
The way you say y'all sounding like a cat yowling
You step on it's tail to hear it howling?

Oh Wise Monkey, please tell me why
It is when I look into the night sky
I see a cross and a small shiny star
Across the vast oceans You are so far

Oh Wise Monkey, regardless Your ways
The months together have felt like mere days
My love for You will never fail
Especially if I can hump your tail








(couldn't resist) ;-)

Thanks, Mike, you are very correct, of course.

When I talk face to face with someone, the best I can usually hope for is a blank stare. Must be my warped sense of humour.

Thank you, and, no, I won't.

Here's a glint of what's happened to humor in the US.

"Knock, knock"

"Who's there?"

"FBI"

"uh~oh"

I think the ability to laugh at ourselves is crucial to survival.

 

[cookiejar]

Humor is vital for me. The sillier I am, the more I'm hurting and right now I'm extremely silly.
