Fuck 'em

[ohiosmith]

2. As graywarrior would say "sideways"!

[Sekhmets Daughter]

3. Where do I send the check?

How sad to be so totally lacking in not just humor, but a sense of fun!

[ohiosmith]

5. I can take your credit card number now!

[Sekhmets Daughter]

7. I may be crazy, but I am not STOOPID!

[winter is coming]

44. Can't you just get it from Anonymous?

Or Bad Persons pretending to be Anonymous?

[Tuesday Afternoon]

4. all the money in the world and still ...

he would be wanting.

[ohiosmith]

6. Right you are TA!

[In_The_Wind]

8. That would cost more that I have.

[ohiosmith]

9. We have an installment plan!

[In_The_Wind]

11. I'll donate a spoonful of sugar or two or three.

Might be a waste of good sugar. Oh, well.

[ohiosmith]

13. It's the thought that counts!

[MiddleFingerMom]

15. Nice thought.

Don't know the guy. But several people I do know think it's a lost cause.

I believe I'll pass this time. But if you do this again for a more worthy effort, keep me in mind.

[graywarrior]

17. Poor guy

[ohiosmith]

18. Fuck him! Sideways!

[graywarrior]

19. Ummm, I'll pass

[ohiosmith]

21. Good choice! Hear he has a short.........., and bad breath!

[graywarrior]

25. I don't even know who s/he is.

[ohiosmith]

26. Lives in his mother's basement. Plays Warcraft and watches barnyard porno. This will be hidden!

[HarveyDarkey]

20. And to think he/she's served on 231 juries

[ohiosmith]

22. Go figure!

[nolabear]

23. Bitchers Gonna Bitch.

[ohiosmith]

24. Yep! Sad shit!

[Zavulon]

27. I'm taking one to buy someone some common sense.

I don't think there's enough money in the world for the person I have in mind, however.

[ohiosmith]

28. Hey! Start your own charity thread!

[Jeff R]

29. Some things can't be bought...

But what the heck.
Sign me up if you think it will help.

[ohiosmith]

31. Done!

[olddots]

30. i'm almost afraid to post anything anymore .

A sense of humor is an expensive item now that they are so rare

[ohiosmith]

32. Fortunately they abound in the Lounge. It seems those lacking usually wander in from elsewhere!

[In_The_Wind]

35. They stink up the place while they are here!

[Locut0s]

33. But the guy is right when you look at it from his point of view...

I mean this is the fucking Internet we are talking about here, not the halls of congress where anything goes. This is SERIOUS business as they like to say. And of all places, this deeply offensive thread was posted in the lounge of all places, think of the nerve it took! Cute cat threads are one thing, but a thread about NOTHING!? No, we can't go there, that way be dragons! I mean today we allow posts about nothing, tomorrow well be fucking squirrels in the woods, which come to think of it... hold on a sec I'll be right back...

[ohiosmith]

34. Squirrels! Mmmmm!

[graywarrior]

40. LOL

[AnneD]

49. Squirrels...

have more nuts than most.

[graywarrior]

68. They come here to hunt for them

[HappyMe]

36. Holy crap!

This is gonna be expensive. We may have to have bake sales and spaghetti feeds to raise additional funds.

[ohiosmith]

38. Excellent idea! And a dunk tank! Who can we recruit to be the dunkee?

[HappyMe]

41. MFM?

[ohiosmith]

43. Ideal!

[sarge43]

37. My two cents

Puritanism: The haunting fear that someone, somewhere, may be happy. H. L. Mencken

[ohiosmith]

39. Brilliant!

[sarge43]

42. Thank you, ohio.

Yeah, of all the things to get the pantaloons in a wad, playfulness is right at the top of the list.

Life: Go away and get one.

[ohiosmith]

50. Pantaloons! Is that like silly underwear?

[AnneD]

45. The hell with a sense of humor....

I'd pony up to buy some folks a clue.

[ohiosmith]

47. The clueless are forever doomed!

[AnneD]

48. Yeah Ohio....

you're right. Why throw good money after bad.

[ohiosmith]

53. If you're throwing it after bad,.....aim in my direction.

[ohiosmith]

ALERTER'S COMMENTS:

Nasty call out/META topic. Calling attention to a thread in ask the administrators to shame and humiliate that member is just wrong. It makes the lounge suck. Please close this.

You served on a randomly-selected Jury of DU members which reviewed this post. The review was completed at Tue May 7, 2013, 08:10 PM, and the Jury voted 0-6 to LEAVE IT.

Juror #1 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE and said: No explanation given
Juror #2 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE and said: No explanation given
Juror #3 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE and said: Thank you for bringing this to my attention. I have forwarded $20 to his paypal account.
Juror #4 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE and said: What?? I don't get it. If I don't get it, it has to stay. Again, what??????
Juror #5 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE and said: No explanation given
Juror #6 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE and said: Its the lounge, which can be a prickly place if one lacks a sense of humor.

Thank you very much for participating in our Jury system, and we hope you will be able to participate again in the future.

[Dr. Strange]

60. I have just fallen in love with Juror #3.

[ohiosmith]

61. It is brilliant!

[rug]

64. Er, you may want to retract that.

[Dr. Strange]

69. Naw, man, it's all good. I can be discreet.

Your wife will never know. We'll just tell her we're golfing.

[Dash87]

65. Juror #3, whoever you are...

[pipi_k]

51. I'm thinking...

national telethon for the Humor Impaired.

With special attention on the affliction known as "Don't Know What The Trash Thread Button Is For"

Always willing to help the unfortunate

[ohiosmith]

52. We need a nationally recognized host. Who would you recommend?

[pipi_k]

54. Hmmm...I'd have to

ponder on that one a while, but I have the perfect poster child for the humor impaired...

[ohiosmith]

55. Brilliant!

[HappyMe]

58. Chris Rock!

We could have Gabriel Iglesias, Amy Shumer and Whoopi Goldberg answering phones.

[ohiosmith]

59. Outstanding!

[sarge43]

62. There's only one - The King of Slackers - The Duderino

The man who puts the point in pointless

[ohiosmith]

63. Excellent! Dude is like,.....the bane of human paraquats!

[BillStein]

56. Perhaps we should set up a humor bank

Similar to the local food banks for food-insecure families... The need for humor seems overwhelming here.

[ohiosmith]

57. Yes! Non perishables! Like,.......

canned laughter!

[BillStein]

66. nitrous oxide for the laugh impaired

Before:



After:

[ohiosmith]

67. Oh yea!

[pintobean]

70. LOL & R

Ever joke with a cop and just get a blank stare in return? That's the way the self-anointed purity police are. They're humor and sarcasm impaired. It's funny that the alerter of this OP claimed it was a "Nasty call out/META topic". He posted that ATA question at the same time this call out sub-thread was going on.

[ohiosmith]

71. I love DU!
