25 Oct 19 - 12:16 PM (#4015357) Subject: BS: Boring threads are comforting From: Donuel Like a pair of old shoes. You know like threads of support, weather, cleaning, what you put in your gut, mother of all BS - which passed away with Spaw and Amos. (not what they wanted) There is still a virtual boring competition but not in a vitriolic vituperative sense. People with a sensitive ego get their buttons pushed out of their own imagination most of the time. I've said it before, ego is not our friend. |

25 Oct 19 - 12:32 PM (#4015361) Subject: RE: BS: Boring threads are comforting From: Steve Shaw Well I like to contribute to both boring and inflammable threads. If I might say so, the problem we have in the latter especially is not so much the reactors as the button-pusher(s) because the latter are (is) exceptionally persistent and vexatious. I know there are occasional non-persistent button-pushers (boy, how I love to push BWM's dog button on rare occasions) and that reactors can be their own worst enemies. But we are all human beings with more dimensions to ourselves than are on show here (and I strongly suspect that some of the ones that ARE on show here are fake). But boring threads are comforting and you're going to carry on getting my recipes and tiresome jokes whether you like it or not. |

25 Oct 19 - 07:15 PM (#4015402) Subject: RE: BS: Boring threads are comforting From: Donuel Steve and I differ on what is a joke. Of course we do. Different countries, culture and exposure. Also on food. I eat to live and he sounds like a gourmet cook who lives to eat. As in the closed thread it is said that its the one whose reaction causes controversey. Sometimes why is hidden, sometimes an attack is perceived and sometimes it is ingrained behavior. I'm glad its not all boring. |

26 Oct 19 - 06:46 PM (#4015595) Subject: RE: BS: Boring threads are comforting From: Donuel I find your jokes a bit mediocre compared to Jim Carrol and others who have better memories or joke books. In fact in your case the apple fell far from the tree and rolled into an unfunny ditch. Who hurt you? Without knowing it Steve does comedy feuds with me which I have enjoyed since I first heard Jack Benny feud with Fred Allen, Abbott with Costello etc. but in the end it all falls down and ends with his tears and anguish. As slow burn schtick goes, its OK, even if he is clueless or thinks its real. |

I started a thread about the carps in this pond, (closed as expected) but it did point out that the a carp wouldn't recognise themself (sic) and who was the first poster? And did the mirror mist up? No matter, we know who they are. Donuel - maybe your humo(u)r could also be described as wit - as in wisdom. Not always obvious but if I don't understand that is my limitation. I don't claim to know everything........... No, honest. |

27 Oct 19 - 04:33 PM (#4015728) Subject: RE: BS: Boring threads are comforting From: Donuel I am fond of the double or triple entendre. I think in terms of cartoons but Bill Mahre has both and his writers are top shelf.I have made the same jokes but never better ones. Different countries current events are beyond me too. Creating a cartoon or joke for the ages is one of the most difficult things to do. New Yorker Magazine is always on the lookout for those. One of my own favs was an alien and Einstein calculating a gravitational wave as one hits them both. Unless it is a link I post things in real time right here. Boring as ever I don't care about name calling competion or one upsmanship. I have seen many experts here who demanded respect for their expertise but that is of a different generation. Now folks are impressed with what goes viral but I've been there and done that with no real reward. Lots of people on the internet manage to make drivel pay via ads. They are the Madmen of today. Streaming consciousness like this is boring unless a person is psychotic. |

02 Nov 19 - 09:51 PM (#4016929) Subject: RE: BS: Boring threads are comforting From: Severn Boring threads are most comfortable when sewn together into plain white pillowcases. To be bored is not the same as being comfortable or else this site would be discussing Muzak, for the words straight from the mouth of Hello Mudkitty (wherever it's located.), Which is to say that in this case, silence is indeed and in worf, golden. However, there could be a case made for Muzak being Republin Folk Music,, where Ray Connif and Percy Faith would serve as their Guthrie and Seeger, in which case, it deserves its own site somewhere out of our sight. Are you all bored yet? I am, but I don't know if anyone's comforted by the or not...... |

08 Nov 19 - 08:51 AM (#4017903) Subject: RE: BS: Boring threads are comforting From: Donuel Reading these threads are associated with a higher risk of reducing depression but these posts are not for everyone. Call your doctor if there are unusual lifeforms in the field of your vision, changes in behavior or thoughts of supreamacy.Elderly readers of mudcat threads have an increased chance of death or stroke. Call your Akashic masseuse if you develope stiff muscles, confusion or lower back pain. If you notice any urge to laugh it may indicate potentially life threateng condition. Beware of random moscle movemnts because these may be permanent. Threads like these may or may not be absurd and may increase cholesterol, weight gan, unusual compulsions and behaviors and high blood pressure while drinking eggnog. Do not be overly alarmed if you grow dizzy upon standing, have decreased white blood cells, seizures, trouble swallowing and impaired judgement and motor skills. Those are probably due to your medication. |
