They also seem to curse a lot more than we do here.

Is this how Brits feel when they come to America for a visit?

We swear up a blue streak, and yeah, by PD standards, jokes about underendowed nerds, being gay, and not having any women fall under the "sixth grade stupid-ass humor" category. Fart jokes are generally considered funnier than "UR a ghey nrd and U has no gurrrrlz!" type "jokes".

Every place has their own senses of humor. What Cellar guys think is funny is based on a culture that has grown here.

Some of the PD humor will probably be baffling or unrecognizable to you. The legislator's office, prolapse, furbies, Arial, and starting a pention may all be mentioned and may not even seem like jokes. If you read something that appears to make no sense at all, it's probably a joke.

The new team seems to be off to a good start... hopefully it'll go well today!

Those of you who hate the avatar and sig images, you can simply turn them off in Preferences. I like the avatars because they help me keep track of people, but I usually turn off sig images.

Keeping track of people can be a challenge because users can change their handles at will in their user CP.

Someone mentioned knowing about Discordianism because of being a RAW fan. RAW was also a fan of Discordianism, but he's a somewhat controversial figure in Discordia because a lot of people... OK wait, I'm not going to try to explain this. Uncle Bob is mostly liked, but also mostly not considered representative of Discordia.

Last but not least, Mole? Explain pls.

Lot's of jokes aren't that funny to some people.... getting all rabid crazy pissed off by something that's obviously meant to be humorous is funny... in a we're-laughing-at-you-not-with-you kind of way. That's what happened there...

Giving yourselves style point for how you visit another site en mass, and telling other people ur doin it rong.... also funny.

Stomping around our chat room like drunken assholes... funny the first time.

Rabid crazy pissed-off? where did you see that? You want rabid crazy pissed-off, you'll have to look in some other threads. Nobody was more than bored and/or mildly irritated in that thread.

As for whether ur doing it rong... depends on whether, as the first post in this thread says, you were actually basing your return visit on our safari model. If you were just trolling, you were TOTALLY doing it right. Well, two or three of you were. The rest were doing the Safari right, which is what they are continuing to do now, without the outright trolling.
