Life is bearable!
Come on, guys and girls! What are the good things in life? What makes us happy? What helps us get through the day? You too, TheMan18!
I'll start:
Fluffy bunnies!β€π°π°π°π°π°π°π°π°π°π°β€
black forest cake
butterscotch ice cream
John Wayne movies
walks on Lake Ontario
Watching The Room.
Or old episodes of The Bold and the Beautiful!
bearable might be the right word
shareDoes Canadian humour deserve to be on the list, Mitch?
shareWe are famous for our comedians
shareSo? Germany is famous for its nazis...
shareThis disappoints me, Strat. I thought we had previously really connected over things we love about Germany. And I was just about to contribute a lengthy,fun & humorous post to this thread. Guess it wasn't meant to be.
shareGermans are a riot.
shareI think you did an oustanding job with this post, db!
Chillax, buddy, it was a dig at Canadian comedians, not the Germans. You know what they say: "Don't mention the war!"
If that was the intent, the punchline fell flat because it really came across as perpetuating the stigma of an evil regime.
shareI'm sorry it did, but I expected hownos to get that I was saying (in jest) that Canadian comedians are awful and not something to be proud of.

Martin Short
Norm MacDonald

All horrible people who should be imprisoned for their crimes against humour.
shareSit down and watch Leslie Nielsen in Airplane or Naked Gun. You are still young. There is hope.
shareI've seen those movies and I'm old enough to realize there's no hope left for you guys! You'll always suck at humour!
Comfort yourself with the fact that db has proven the Dutch are just as bad...
I wouldn't use db as a guide for humor.
shareIt's a shame he decided against sharing his humorous post with us. I was genuinely curious. I guess those are the consequences of a bad joke. I almost feel like Samantha Bee-atch right now.
shareComing from intellectually lazy, sentence fragment, Mr. droll & dead pan.
shareCome on, db, let's not do this. This was supposed to be a lighthearted thread. And yes, I'm also directing this at hownos.
Just share some happy things with us. Maybe some tasty German food. Ever had Mezzo Mix/Spezi? Delicious!
He has had a consistent pattern of trying to discredit my sense of humor here yet also consistently agreeing with me on numerous movies, which makes him inconsistent.
shareBut those are two different, unrelated things, aren't they? It seems possible to disagree on humour, but agree on numerous movies?
I don't think it helps to constantly bring up your sense of humour (or lack of). But I don't think hownos is too happy with the things you say about him either.
We do tend to like the same movies. Amazing isn't it ??
shareWell, I tried.π€·ββοΈ
shareI did too.
shareThen why didn't you post your funny story?
shareBelieve me, I really wanted to. Like I said, it would have required some time & effort and by now I've made numerous references about being fed up with crap I consider a waste of time.
shareSo with one silly joke my thread turned from something worthwile into
crap that's a waste of time?
You misunderstood. I'm talking about a long term negative pattern here that drives people away & many have complained about. I only said I was "disappointed" in what you had posted. If cheap-shot-taking nose hadn't chimed in with his usual,sarcastic, lame attempts at humor, it might have been salvaged.
shareIt was MY response to hownos' serious reply that resulted in a short exchange with humour that apparently doesn't appeal to everyone. But it was not a total derailment and it should be possible in a lighthearted thread like this one. But it's your decision.
shareI accidentally landed in the middle of your exchange with him when I was about to post my comment. When I saw your post, it soured me and one thing just led to another. Like I said, guess it wasn't meant to be. But I still like you. I think you have a very sharp, sassy sense of humor, much like Dazed.
