| Thanks, I guess. I meant it to be sympathetic as well as funny, though. |
Oh, I know. But it made me laugh, too.
worse than a sunset responding to the news that an Australian soap star and his wife named their new baby Peanut:

| If his parents had been just a little more immature, they could have saved this kid a lifetime of misery. Even Kurt Cobain and Courtney Love had the good sense to give their kid a normal-person first name and save the legumes for the middle name slot. |

Doctor Who's charater:

| The Doctor is a bit like Miss Marple; he may not actively cause the trouble but if he ever showed up any sane person would run like hell because people are bound to die. |

Francie Nolan spoofs Olympic narration:
| QUOTE | My friend and I have a running joke about the Calvacade of Athlete Hardships. She is obsessed with women's gymnastics, so in the lead up to the Olympics I pester her with fake commentary that gets increasingly more tragic. Like, for example:
"Little Natalia was born in a forest clearing in Belarus to an itinerant lumberjack and his wife. Tragedy came early to Natalia when her parents were carried off by a pack of wolves shortly after her birth. Left to fend for herself, agile little Natalia learned to climb trees to forage for food. Raised by a family of bears until the age of five, it seemed like Natalia's luck would finally change when she was discovered by a troupe of traveling acrobats. Natalia joined her adopted family's circus act, and became a consummate performer. Then, tragedy struck Natalia's young life yet again, in the form of a highwire routine gone horribly awry. Once again left on her own, Natalia wandered the countryside, until she miraculously came upon a gymnastics training center. With the support of her tiny Belarussian village, Natalia was able to raise enough funds to travel to the Olympics with her trainer. Sadly, her trainer was tragically killed just last night in a freak pummel horse mishap. Tonight, Natalia vaults for him."
All narrated in appropriate hushed tones, of course. |

Heh, thanks particle_person! I only just saw this. Natalia would thank you, too, if only she weren't in full-body traction recovering from that unfortunate incident with the escaped Siberian tiger. No worries, though--with a little pluck, I'm sure she'll still make it to Beijing!
Heh, thanks kiran. Hee, Francie.

| I am disappointed in her. Very disappointed. She has let me down, like a Rick-roll in reverse. Shame. |
Your response was pretty good too, book:

jenelope gives us all some words to live by in the Advice Columns thread:
| QUOTE |
| I like to make an occasional pun, but it has to be organic to the situation or conversation at hand. You can't just go around making random puns all day. Life is not a Laffy Taffy wrapper. |
Damn, but I want "Life is not a Laffy Taffy wrapper" stitched on a pillow.
I also liked Genevieve's comment right after:
| QUOTE |
| I worked with a person who constantly made puns. ALWAYS. It was like working next to a Christmas Cracker joke all day long. I then killed her and my roses now look lovely. |
