BruceVC Posted October 31, 2013 Share Posted October 31, 2013 Another reason to just not make jokes. Also, it's raining all day today so say the forecast - this is good as there will be less trick or treaters out, hopefully. Or at the very least, they'll be miserable. Malc I'll tell you something interesting, do you know you can make many jokes in life that aren't about the abuse of women? In South Africa there is a "joke" that has been around for ages "What do you tell a women with 2 black eyes" "Nothing she has already been told twice" If I hear that joke from people I make a point of saying that type of humour is unacceptable and not funny. It may sound embarrassing in a public gathering, like a barbeque, to put a damper on a "humorous" vibe but that's the decision myself and others have made about certain topics that people still joke about "Abashed the devil stood and felt how awful goodness is and saw Virtue in her shape how lovely: and pined his loss” John Milton "We don't stop playing because we grow old; we grow old because we stop playing.” - George Bernard Shaw "What counts in life is not the mere fact that we have lived. It is what difference we have made to the lives of others that will determine the significance of the life we lead" - Nelson Mandela Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Malcador Posted October 31, 2013 Share Posted October 31, 2013 Malc I'll tell you something interesting, do you know you can make many jokes in life that aren't about the abuse of women? Well, it was a facetious comment on the idea that someone will always get offended it seems. But how nice to know you have a good social conscience. Why has elegance found so little following? Elegance has the disadvantage that hard work is needed to achieve it and a good education to appreciate it. - Edsger Wybe Dijkstra Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Azdeus Posted October 31, 2013 Share Posted October 31, 2013 If I hear that joke from people I make a point of saying that type of humour is unacceptable and not funny. To you maybe, but I'd rather not take something and make it "untouchable" in that way. It'll just give the opposition more fuel for their fires. And deprive the rest of us some good laughs! A classic for you; You know what the difference is between a black guy and a basketball? You're not allowed to kick the basketball. Civilization, in fact, grows more and more maudlin and hysterical; especially under democracy it tends to degenerate into a mere combat of crazes; the whole aim of practical politics is to keep the populace alarmed (and hence clamorous to be led to safety) by menacing it with an endless series of hobgoblins, most of them imaginary. - H.L.

Blarghagh Posted October 31, 2013 Share Posted October 31, 2013 My personal favourite among jokes that are too awful to tell is the dead baby variant. For example, you know what the difference is between a pile of dead babies and a ferrari? I don't have a ferrari in my garage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LadyCrimson Posted October 31, 2013 Share Posted October 31, 2013 This early morning (and yesterday morning) is proving once again that I feel the cold more as I get older. Or whatever. Mostly when I first wake up. Crank that heater! Also...is there an acceptable age in the US where a woman can stop shaving her legs all the time? Guys can just grow socially acceptable rock star beards if they don't feel like shaving...not fair. “Things are as they are.

Enoch Posted October 31, 2013 Share Posted October 31, 2013 (edited) Also...is there an acceptable age in the US where a woman can stop shaving her legs all the time? Guys can just grow socially acceptable rock star beards if they don't feel like shaving...not fair. I don't know how age affects things, but based to the various women with whom I've been close enough to have knowledge of their shaving practices, the acceptable time for not shaving (or, well, shaving only for special occassions) is known as "winter." I can see how that might not work so well in California. Edited October 31, 2013 by Enoch 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm a month into my present beard, and "rock star" isn't exactly a term I would use to describe it. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Woldan Posted October 31, 2013 Share Posted October 31, 2013 (edited) What I did today is 160kg dead lifts 5 reps 3 stints and I almost passed out each time I lifted the barbell. I'll probably never figure out how other lifters can lift weights far beyond 180kgs so easily, thats just totally insane. Lifting beyond 150 feels like standing up while having an intense seizure that almost makes you crap out your guts. I wonder how lifting 200kg+ feels like. Edited October 31, 2013 by Woldan 1 I gazed at the dead, and for one dark moment I saw a banquet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Labadal Posted October 31, 2013 Share Posted October 31, 2013 Someone tried to access my steam account so I had to change my password for the first time in five years. Took a trip to the city and had lunch with the family for a change. Had a really tasty pizza. It's the only thing I have eaten today. Need to change my eating habits, but it'll never happen. Also ordered a few games and a memory card for a PlayStation Vita. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guard Dog Posted October 31, 2013 Share Posted October 31, 2013 Working on the house this weekend. I'm going to start clearing some trees to make a pasture. I'm going to try cutting my own fence posts from the felled trees. I've never done anything like that before. Should be interesting. It would definitely be efficient. Whatever is left over I'll split for firewood. I try not to waste if I can help it. 1 "While it is true you learn with age, the down side is what you often learn is what a damn fool you were before" Thomas Sowell Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hurlshort Posted October 31, 2013 Share Posted October 31, 2013 All this Halloween stuff has been a bit exhausting, but my kids look good. Thankfully my school district was smart enough to schedule a staff workday tomorrow instead of a regular school day, so that should be pretty relaxing. Sitting in meetings is a cake walk.

Gorgon Posted October 31, 2013 Share Posted October 31, 2013 A bunch of kids just showed up at my door wanting candy, felt like I was in a movie or something. That's not a Danish tradition, well it is now apparently.
