I make lame jokes muchly.
It's just the horror of being thought of as someone who uses "irregardless"! Then again, I am reliably informed by my friend who I dated when I was a teen, that I used the word literally extensively back in the day. As in "no, honestly". And it's one of my bugbears, especially on reality TV. It literally makes my head explode.

Oh...I didn't get that. Impersonating whom?
That also explains the "there" but for the life of me I don't see the impersonatee in that. Anyway, it seemed out of character to me, so I thought I'd COME RIGHT OUT AND ask. Honesty. Don't you hate that shit? If I were y'all, I'd beat the living fuck out of me right now for not getting the 'joke.' But I don't think I'm the only one (hint hint) you need to beat for not getting the joke. imo. edit: For example, I would read Bri's comment that she didn't know what to say and that she was hurt, as meaning she didn't know what to say and that she was hurt. Not as "Oh haha you funny fucker!" Maybe she should have said "Eye donut no wut to sey. I'm hert." IMO Last edited by infinite monkey; 09-22-2011 at 11:45 AM. |

Oh God I'm not berating anyone for not getting I was making a lame-arse joke.
I was just surprised that V thought irregardless was the only thing that needed correcting about that post. He was obviously being polite and I'm sorry if he feels like a sucker because of it. It was never my intention. I was imitating people who make comments on media websites, usually about children. They take a patronising attitude, put random words in quotation marks, use made-up words and make no sense. The only thing they communicate effectively is their own self-importance and condescension. No, it really wasn't very funny. And it wasn't overt. I' guess I'm not getting my pilot any day soon ETA when I said I cringed at explaining it, it was because I realised it hadn't worked - not a reflection on other people.

Here's a recent photo of my black kitty kat. She's evicted the box used to hold controllers and cables and such to sit on the bottom shelf of the bookshelf (ha, no books, only other more digital media) behind the couch. She's a queen hider.
