Now that's living dangerously. You never know who's related to or know whom.
Prozac works well. It doesn't make life better but you won't care. My doctor took mine away from me saying "losers aren't suppose to be happy".:rolleyes:

I'll do the off-color humor here b/c I've made it pretty clear where I'm coming from. Generally, I shy away from it in person unless I'm doing it to get a rise out of someone--e.g. my parents.

     I dunno... I think I'm always fairly polite, but I think I'm more so on the internet. Maybe 'cause I'd hate to be one of these internet tough guys. I've said some pretty rough shtuff in person, but internet smack talk is for the weakminded IMO. I guess I believe that talking shit is okay only when you're looking the guy in the eye. Actual conversation:
Me: That was manly of you.
Guy: Hey, I've been married for seven years, kept the same woman satisfied for seven years, you don't hear her complain.
Me: Well I'm glad to hear you've got some good neighbors.
Guy: What do neighbors have to do with it.
'Nother Guy: (smiling) You know Whit, sometimes you can be a real son of a bitch.
     I laughed my ass off at that. The first guy walked. I'd never say something like that to somebody that couldn't deck me for it. It wouldn't be right. Sure, I've stuck my foot in my mouth to the knee a few times. Like making a joke about people trying to have kids when I have them when I'm trying not to, only to find out one of the couples at the table had been trying for years. Or a neutral remark about a friends dad only to find out the dad had died a fw hours before.
     Screw it, I'm going to make comments and laugh at people even if I could get my ass kicked for it. That's half the fun.

     On the subject, I just IM'd Juju, who knows me both as a name on the screen and personaly. He seems to think I'm nicer online because I can't look at people. Appearntly,I have a tendency to laugh at people that don't catch what I'm talking about, as if it meant they were stupid. Go figure. Um... Well, I may have laughed at a few people... I still think I'm pretty polite overall.

You also intentionally go over people's heads just for the same of amusing yourself and others. This in turn humiliates the target and makes them feel dumb. It's probably your favorite thing to do in the whole world, laughing at other people's expense. Nevermind the alienation factor, as long as you get your kicks. :)

     Well, yeah. But my point is that I only do that in person. It wouldn't be any fun on the 'net.

This story really isn't funny, but for some reason, it made me laugh.
