A very serious attempt to cheer repbot up.

and for those puzzled by my motto I quote an intelligent fibster:

*cough*

the ablism is self explanatory.


(Sorry if anyone's upset by me using a (very) long word and I particularly apologise to any non-english speakers present)

And  these footnotes to my motto now mean that I'll never need to change it again - superb!

I guess it will be obvious when don has voted  ;)

I guess it's obvious why diane isn't considered, though I think it would be nice if she somehow acquired a sense of humor.  Hmm, or is it humour where she comes from?

By the way, I know what flocci, nihili, and pilifi mean, don't know what pocci means.
So many string dimensions, so little space time...

Quotedon't know what pocci means.
Dont they all mean nothing???..... :lol:

And yes - it was originally, and still is here, spelled 'humour' - but you decided to make it easier on yourselves  :P. We prefer the challenge  :D

Dont worry don, we know you like to be the joke rather than making the jokes, even when you aren't  ^_^

To make it easier for don - I have added in some question marks - that way he knows a question when he sees it  ;)

ROFL.  According to GOOGLE:

QuoteNo definitions of pocci were found in English

Definitions of pocci on the Web in German:

Franz Graf von Pocci (* 7. März 1807 in München; ââ,¬Â  5. Juli 1876 ebenda) war Zeichner, Radierer, Schriftsteller und Musiker.

Before you make a further fool of yourself, diane, you might try looking at the link, http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/floccinaucinihilipilification , provided by spielberg.  How can you even think I lack a sense of humor when I take such pleasure in your logic and bon mots?

Awaiting your usual last word,

I should soooooo not bother - but hey...

Didnt I ask a question, rather than state a fact???
(Being as how the humour is in the fact that it is a set of words which all mean 'nothing', more or less, strung together, a logical assumption is that they ALL mean 'nothing').  But rather than just state it as a fact, since the rather simple task of following that link didnt reveal an answer, nor did a superficial search - I asked the question.

Now, to help you find the joke/pun - if the word doesnt exist - then it means 'nothing' - there, is that easier :lol:

Awaiting your last banal word.....but dont count on me reading it  ;)

now *this* is what fibsboard was meant for.
more please!! you two are the best

Awww - thanks - I try - but he just keeps resorting to personal insults - which make it all a bit dull .... :D

I guess he is the kind of person who pulls a chair away as a person is about to sit down and thinks that is the height of subtle humour... ;)

diane, I really do feel sorry for you in a sort of shadenfreude sense of the term.  It amuses me that not only do you think I am starting something here,

.. but that you think I have a habit of starting things.  I really got a chuckle when burper started flames on another thread here, you chimed in, I commented, got amusingly editted, burper's comments received a slightly different treatment, and you came out smelling like a rose (rotted for those in the know).

Out of curiousity, diane, since you seem to be into starting flames, can you, do you read?

Don,

You seem to have a very blurred concept of flaming. Diane's comment was indeed clearly to anyone humour and not a flame.

I guess this kind of shows why the poll was started in the first place.
Don't hate me because I'm beautifull, just love me in that special way

QuoteDon,

Yes, indeed. And if you want a clear concept of "flaming," come to fibs any Thursday night and take a look at Shuggie.

MmmmmmmmOOOKIE!

don

Dear diane and burper:

I don't intend to blur the concept of flaming, which you two know so well.  All I refer to is causality.  Do the math.

webbie, i don't think dons' habitual incitement of flamewars is very healthy for fibsboard.

Here's a simple observation:

I think if you look at this topic you will find I didn't start anything remotely resembling insults, and in fact if you examine almost all threads here, you will find the same.  Meanwhile, I'm chuckling....

Actually, i think it draws viewers, kinda like a freak show  <_<

Ahh, now I understand why you tolerate the freak.
But does a large number of freak viewers really equate to forum health?
