in light of my too-short-and-feeling-exposed hair cut, i am thinking about how bloody important it is to be able to laugh at yourself. i have a few relos who seem to lack the ability, and who take themselves so seriously, and it must suck. i reckon you would lose all humour in life.
so go on, laugh at yourself. life is a bit absurd, and we usually take ourselves that bit too seriously.
i think i'm hilarious
especially when covered in baby vomit
Hahahahaha! Moke, you buffoon!
i do all the time..
but that's because im REALLY REALLY funny.
I can't help it, and neither can anyone else.
p.s. i know what it's like to have that haircut feeling... i cried for two days after a really extreme one
you have my sympathy, shines
was just thinking earlier this morning how some co-workers have no sense of humour whatsoever and take themselves much too seriously. they're nice people (bar one), don't get me wrong, but much too straight for my liking.
i hope i don't catch it. embarrassing and laughing at myself is something i've been doing all my life and i ain't about to stop now.
lol @ shaun
i think that you should sometimes go out and do something a bit embarassing - like wear stupid clothes, or have a bad haircut - just for the fun, and to put things in life in perspective. it's silly to stress about things like that, but so easy to do when you are out to impress people and stuff.
i'm a fucking nightmare and competely insane. LOL.
I got trashed last night and thought i deserved a little treat so decided to cover my bed with fern fronds...then i woke up and felt like a weirdo.
hahahahaha. mattpheonix, that is wonderful! best random anecdote ever.
I did my first weights class yesterday and am in a world of pain today. I needed help getting out of the little chair in my son's classroom this morning.
Oh how we all laughed.
so true. being able to laugh at themselves is one of the key things in the people i enjoy the company of. you need to be able to make a goose of yourself now and then.
[Arthur suddenly laughs uproariously]
Gloria: Why are you laughing now?
Arthur: Sometimes I just think funny things.
Arthur: Why aren’t you laughing, Bitterman?
Bitterman: You haven’t said anything, sir.
Arthur: Oh, I see. Fine. So you’re waiting ’til the last minute?”
There's an Arthur quote for every occasion. Laughing at yourself is of the utmost importance.
i think stand-up comics need to be excluded from this concept
Laughing is infectious...i fucking love it
laughing is rad. i love it that the first wrinkles i am getting are laughter lines. better than being a frowny moody bitch.
sveltes, that is unreal.
My first, second & all subsequent wrinkles (I have many) are all laughter lines....I'm old, but I'm happy. :-)
& I get to laugh at my lack of copy/paste skills there...I meant to quote..
''laughing is rad. i love it that the first wrinkles i am getting are laughter lines. better than being a frowny moody bitch.''
why you find hurling funny littlesmoke is beyond me.
you should have been at my house last night. laughter galore while hurling my guts up.
Bad computer skills on my behalf there sveltes.
Does smirking count? I wonder if I smirk.
i think a smirk can count...
well, due in part to this thread making me smile and in part to the music on my stereo, i have been dancing around my office whilst doing some photocopying, and i was just sprung by a coworker. teehee - goofy days are fun.
I dunno,
I find vomit amusing.
hahaha. i am laughing at the irony. earlier today, i was going to mention that i wanted to post in the ''where did you last vomit'' thread, but that i was too scared to go into it because i have a phobia of it, and i was scared of what i might see upon entering the thread.
and now lainee has perverted my own silly thread. see, life is funny.
and btw - i have not thrown up in 14-15 years. i am pretty sure i win.
sorry, shines!
it will disappear into the fold soon.
aaah, it's all good. it actually is fairly amusing. and yes, there are times that the fold is rad.
ewwwwwwww
out of the nose and everything
Vomit is funny. Poo is not. I've had nightmares about poo.
I decided to freak my girlfriend out by painting my nuts and thing with nail polish to try and make it look like an evil STD. After about 30 seconds it started to get a little warm...then it started to fucking burn... i was running around our appartment with my pants around my ankles howling...then jumped up trying to get my balls in the sink...water want helping...eventually i found some paint thinners and used that and found relief...and she round me laying on the floor with a wet rag on my package moaning and giggling at the same time.
Surely that's not a true story. Either way, it should be in a movie.
I think Australians are fast losing the ability to be able to laugh at themselves. There are way too many humourless c*nts around.
too many cunts around in general djb.
OK This thread is getting long winded enough. Get ready to wind it down in about 5 posts please.
Hey - lets also avoid the c word too please.
...umm im afraid it is a true story Manhattan...i sometimes do quite ahhh silly things.
Like anon, I always laugh at myself. It provides a handy cue for people who don't think I'm funny.
Mostly to roll their eyes, or grin uncomfortably, and hope someone quickly changes the subject.
I reckon you're a funny cunt, Modi. Your laugh makes me laugh. I hope one day my laugh makes someone else laugh. Then the laugh chain will connect the whole world. Until we're all just laughing like a bunch of loons.
Yeah Modi's laugh me laugh. Actually it's more of a cackel............. I, for one, cannot wait for the day he becomes a mad scientist.
modi is the new popeye.
wipey hires me for his comedy shows to make the audience laugh.
shhhhhhhhhhard uppp!
I laugh at my own jokes. Is that the same thing?
