Fat jokes
I'm sorry to say, that I can't think anyone has ever really thrown a
novel fat insult at me. Every one I've known to be directed at me, I'd already heard on the TV or at someone else. Has anyone ever insulted you with a fat joke that made you laugh? I've been insulted plenty of times about other things that I found amusing, but it seems anti-fat humour tends to be largely witless. Sure, some comedians have done a good job (and John Prescott, our deputy prime minister, has given them pleanty of reason to be a target for all manner of jokes). Someone please prove me wrong. |

Fat jokes
I'm pretty overweight right now, and I haven't been given a serious
fat joke since high school. On 17 Jul 2006 05:57:19 -0700, "Madge O'Reene" wrote: I'm sorry to say, that I can't think anyone has ever really thrown a novel fat insult at me.

Oh there might be some funny ones out there, I dunno. Though I know for years I misheard "they really SIT AROUND THE HOUSE"... my mental image was someone so monstorously huge that they would literally engulf said house... a different implication of "around", where it means "surround" rather than "in various places in". That image made it more striking but less funny than the original intent I'd say. -- QUOTEBLOG: http://kisrael.com SKEPTIC MORTALITY: http://kisrael.com/mortal "Power corrupts.

Every one I've known to be directed at me, I'd already heard on the TV or at someone else. Oh there might be some funny ones out there, I dunno. I keep coming up with new ones. I was once so fat: - I had my own zip code. - Friends could use Mapquest or Google Earth to locate me. "Hey look! There's Neil!" - my seat was larger than that of the recumbent bike. - when I went to the beach to sunbathe, Greenpeace activists would push me into the water, shouting "swim, be free."

Did NASA have to take your location into account when launching satellites? Ugh, I feel a little dirty trying to make up fat jokes on the board. At least it's not fathappens or fat-acceptance... -- QUOTEBLOG: http://kisrael.com SKEPTIC MORTALITY: http://kisrael.com/mortal "Let 'em all go to hell except cave 76" --The 2000 year old man singing an early national anthem |

Did NASA have to take your location into account when launching satellites? LOL! Good one. Ugh, I feel a little dirty trying to make up fat jokes on the board. Why? Don't you have a weight problem as well? Sorry, perhaps that's rude, but then again, I am writing to "kirkjerk". I have another one, specifically related to chess. I was once so large that seated I couldn't play a back-rank mate. At least it's not fathappens or fat-acceptance... Thank goodness. Neil 385/307/220 |

Nah, it's a good point. Some people have more to lose than others but I was/am fat but am becoming less so. I have another one, specifically related to chess. I was once so large that seated I couldn't play a back-rank mate. Heheh. Reminds me of the muppet movie: Fozzie: There was this sailor that was SO fat... Obese Sailor: How fat was he? *breaks bottle* Fozzie: *flop sweat* Uh... he was so fat that everybody liked him and there was nothing funny about him at all. FWIW, http://toughpigs.com/anthmovie00.htm is kind of cool for muppet fans, it has the differences between a draft of the Muppet Movie script and the final version, and http://toughpigs.com//anthcontents.htm has some cool stuff in general... -- QUOTEBLOG: http://kisrael.com SKEPTIC MORTALITY: http://kisrael.com/mortal "We were once so close to heaven, Peter came out and gave us medals declaring us the nicest of the damned." --They Might Be Giants |

It's not funny when the joke plainly isn' funny, but if it's witty, I have *no* problem the joke being directed at me. In fact, it probably doesn't *need* to be directed at me - my own gravitational pull should drag it over here all by itself! Now THAT is funny! Neil |

There's just no wit in insults in general anymore..
Look at the average troll... the intellectual ability of them is so low, the best they usually come up with is F@ck you! I've been online for a long time and there used to be some interesting stuff going on.. now it's always the same thing.. Will~ "Madge O'Reene" wrote in message oups.com...
