He has a tendency to do this. It wouldn't be the first, fourth or seventh time @PhotonGuy created a post (I'm guessing) forgot about it, then remembered a couple years down the line and replied. Sadly, by the time he gets back to it, a lot of the time the people who he's replying to don't post here anymore. And even those of us that do have to reread the whole thread if we want to understand what he's replying to.
yeah, but I like necro'd threads. A nice trip down memory lane, most of the time.
Ok so anyone following the great steak debate next door? I recommend a song by the Reverend Horton Heat. “ Eat Steak” eat steak, eat steak, eat a big ol steer, eat steak, eat steak if ya got one near, eat steak eat steak it’s a mighty good food, it’s grade A meal when I’m in the moooood!
Okay. I can confirm you're doing it right, because I just laughed out loud.
Yep I laughed at this.
Sometimes people try to be funny in certain threads on this forum and they're not being funny because its not the proper time and place for humor.
Been away from the forum for awhile, busy with other stuff, but now Im back.
When done in the proper time and place.
Im back now and it hasn't been a couple of years.
But it has been a couple years in the past that you'll return to it. Wasn't saying it as a good or bad thing, just historically it has been true for you.
That's fine, I won't argue about that. Particularly since you aren't specifying situations where something isn't the right time for humor. But it still doesn't fully answer the question you quoted: What inspired you to write this thread? To focus that question a bit, was there something specific that inspired you to write this thread?
If I make a thread that's supposed to be serious and somebody makes a joke on the thread, it isn't funny because I didn't start the thread with the intention of it being funny I started it with the intention of having a serious discussion.
What inspired me to start this thread is because what I've mentioned above has happened in the past on this forum and I thought I should finally address it. If it happens again, and it probably will, I will mention that it was exactly what I was talking about when I started this thread.
Cool, just wasn't sure if there was something specific I was unaware of that needed to be addressed somewhere.
Yeah. You don't get to decide when people make jokes. They do. Don't like the joke? That's pretty much a you problem, not a them problem.
I don’t know. I think there’s a lot of unintentionally funny stuff in this thread.and I'm still not laughing
Guilty as charged. I beg mercy from the court.
That doesn't change the fact that part of being good with humor is aside from the humor itself there is also the factor of doing it in the right time and place, and if somebody tries to be humorous in the wrong time and place they will not be funny they will end up being annoying and will set themselves up for ridicule, like somebody telling a bad joke.
