Title: Oh! The Sheer Irony of It All!!! (hard light makes fun of itself...)
Post by: Volyren Nightsong on July 23, 2011, 02:23:22 am
no long post from me today, for as they say, a picture is worth a thousand words.... (so i guess most of my posts are worth a photo album, eh?)

i was just about to log out of hard light forums for the night, when i happened to look at the advert on the screen. i promptly laughed so hard that i was starting to wish i had a clean pair of undies nearby.... just in case....lol
here is what i saw.
i hope you guys see whats funny. if you cant find the irony in this screenshot, you are either blind, humorless, or completely inept.... and if you are all three of those, then you probably wont get this bit' o' funny, and shouldnt be let out in public without a drool bib, a custom fitted bicycle helmet, and a leash.

my apologies, thought i posted it in general discussion?
i do have multiple windows open, its possible i put it somewhere else. sorry 'bout that.  it currently looks like its in gen disc.... or did you just move it? if not, please, by all means move it wherever you think it should go.
i just caught this ad right as i was about i was closing the window and barely managed to get a screenie before the window closed. ive reloaded almost 50 times, cycling through ads, but it hasnt popped back up. it was simply too smurfin' funny not to share.

Well, there's General FreeSpace Discussion (for things that are FreeSpace but nothing particular about FreeSpace), and then there's General Discussion (for anything that doesn't belong on any other board).

1: this is not funny at all
2: i seldom leave the house, but when i do its usually to go hunting or fishing, either way i will be armed and/or carrying sharp things (you need a knife to gut yer prey, and depending on the fish, you might need a shotgun to make it stop wiggling long enough to gut it).
3: society has been warned, i cannot be held responsible for their impending death by a crazed and well armed hunter with a global apocalypse wish.
4: i destroyed the funny part of my brain years ago with large amounts of illegal drugs.
5: dont keep all your lamps on the same submarine.

It's not particularly funny, but it's a good catch nonetheless.

You know, if you're going down the road of lighthearted puns, you should really choose more enlightened ones.

I usually qualify funny by whether or not I laughed, and I laughed, so it's funny.  (Then again, I haven't slept since Thursday, so right now I think just about anything is funny.)

ah, my little experiment worked. ive managed to find out much....
 now i know who among you suffers from that disease they recently uncovered. the one that makes your brain interpret puns as funny.
i would say that i also know who needs to lighten up, but thats already been pointed out as a pun, which i honestly wouldnt have even thought of until it was pointed out to me, and i dont want anyone here thinking i too have contracted acute punitis.
and one tidbit of information i did not expect, is most welcome. i now know to avoid Nuke's neighbourhood like the plague.

but seriously nuke, i never leave the house without a knife either. or a pool cue case with a pair of cherrywood kendo sticks.(honest truth. used to live in a bad neighbourhood, and even the one i am in now has some really big, really mean stray dogs, who all seem to know that i'm a cat person :) the sticks ended up replacing the knives though. they had better reach and werent lethal when dealing with dogs, and since i padded them with a roll of TP each, then wrapped in silver duct tape, from a distance, they looked real, getting me out of 1 particular fight. also, i used to give some of the neigborhood kids fencing lessons, and the cherrywood kendo's are lighter, hurt less, and are a LOT cheaper than fencing foils and epees, plus ya dont have to worry about knife length limit laws.)
also, there is a problem on my street with stray ninja. we've called animal control, but they just tried to have us committed. we try to leave food out for them, but lately the raccoons have been stealing the rice balls and sake' we leave out for them. i can tell because all the coonies around my house drop massive loads, and tend to pass out in the ditch. its no wonder those poor ninja have went feral, they are starving!

but seriously guys, those of you who didnt find this funny,  im just trying to get a smile outta someone! though i have to agree as well, the thread ended up being funnier than the topic!

I really like the pseudo-babbling condescending tone of yours, Volyren Nightsong.

Keep that up and you'll do a fine contributor to this thread.

I'd like you to produce evidence for this so-called disease. At least in that way the thread could be recovered from the train-wreck that it is right now.
