Have you ever thought a post of your was exceptionally funny

[Pale Blue Dot]

Only to realize that it wasn't as it sinks like a stone?

[Dookus]

1. almost daily

[BigMcLargehuge]

2. sadly, often :-(

LOL... I am a legend in my own mind.

6. We should form a club.

We could sit around and laugh at our own jokes.

[moof]

24. yes, had a really funny one once,

and one of the best because it was all orginal but some overworked heavy handed mod who shall remain nameless (mclargehuge) locked the freakin thread. Not that moof is bitter or anything, how was the mod to know that moof ethics preclude any moof thread from being reposted
or kicked more than once & then only in extreme circumstances.

3. Yes, my little cats and dogs post last night.

[jpgray]

7. I don't get it. (nt)

[populistmom]

8. Sometimes

Occasionally though, I post something that's utterly ridiculous and I end up with massive responses. :shrug:

[Paragon]

[Paragon]

15. I missed that one.

Time to kick it!

[SOteric]

10. Might have been exceptionally funny...

just underexposed. Can't force 'em to click & read.

[ScreamingMeemie]

12. But I always click on yours to look for really cool smileys!

:hi:

[Pale Blue Dot]

14. No, I'm sorry, it wasn't

I appreciate you being nice and all, but it really was kind of a mediocre joke.

[ScholarSeeker]

16. Happens in my real life all the time.

[Pale Blue Dot]

18. Yeah, me too. Maybe we should take the hint.

Nah.

[cliss]

17. Not really. When I first started posting

here at the DU, I would sometimes post on a thread that was "cold as a stone" meaning, no one looks at them any more. I didn't realize that threads have a life span of about 6 hours, and they're dead in the water.

Some of my best stuff went on those "dead threads". But I really wasn't too concerned. I liked reading 'em. Especially when I would get red hot about Bush, or Big Daddy Dick.

I LOVE reading what our other very intelligent, sarcastic, funny, interesting and lovable DU:ers have to say. But I also like reading my own stuff, too.

[madrchsod]

19. yup ,most of the time

i suppose if i was really funny i`d have a job in a comedy club. instead i`m stuck here

[Pale Blue Dot]

20. I did amatuer night at a comedy club once in college.

I bombed.

[salinen]

21. My problem is , is that I'm

too funny.

[arikara]

22. Sigh... all the time

Nobody understands my humor except for my daughter. And I'm the only one who laughs at her. Poor kid.

[Piperay]

23. Yeah, once on another

board I spent along time on a post I thought was really clever but I got nothing but flack and hateful responses from it, some people just don't get sarcasm.:argh: :shrug: :-(

[TOhioLiberal]

25. Well...

I haven't actually gotten up the nerve to post a topic yet...My replies are routinely ignored though.
Trekkerlass

[trof]

26. Many times.

I just figure I'm too subtul for them.
;-)

[moof]

27. send out memos next time there is going to be a meeting

no not bitter at all.

[ZenLefty]

28. I never assume my posts are funny

And then I post them and that confirms it. :(

[AngryAmish]

29. Each and every time

[A-Schwarzenegger]

30. That's what sockpuppets are for!

[silverlib]

31. Yep, I think I'll keep my day job

I'd rather have them sink here than sink in a room full of people staring at me.

Actually, my sense of humor sinks in all arenas.

[CanuckAmok]

32. Yes, this can be a tough room.

Is this thing on...?
