I want to be funny yet sometimes after I type a post and hit enter, it turns out not only wasn't it funny, it was quite stupid. It's a funny thing trying to be funny. Maybe the problem is what is funny in person, isn't funny on a message board. Maybe we should have a poll on who is good at being funny and only those posters will be allowed to humor the rest of us. Everybody else has to be dead serious when they post...no funniness, no sarcasm, no being a smarty pants, nothing!

 

 

I'm not even sure if I'm trying to be funny with this post. Help me I'm so confused.

Once upon a time, a decade or two ago, ESPN was just starting. They hired a few guys named Chris Berman and Dan Patrick and Keith Olberman, who once upon a time were fairly humorous in a smartalecky kind of way. It was a little new (for sports), a little goofy, and it worked great. ESPN and SportsCenter became a phenomenon.

 

Unfortunately, Berman and Patrick and Olberman ruined sports forever by being sporadically mildly amusing.

 

Now, everyone on SportsCenter tries to be funny, like them, but they are not like them, and are not funny, and sound like complete morons.

 

And the same thing has happened to our lovable TSW.

 

There were and are a couple witty, mildly amusing old timers (and, admittedly, a couple of new timers) that once upon a time made TSW a great place for wisecracks and Pythonesque abuse, and they, unfortuntely, because they were funny, made this place nearly unbearable. Now, every tard on the coaster tries to be funny.

 

Except you tards forgot one thing. You're not funny. You're Stuart Scott.

 

So remember. If you're trying to be funny, make sure you're funny.

 

(To those here who are actually funny, carry on.)

Maybe we should have threads be marked like the FDA does with drugs.  Kelly can mark all the ones he approves of so we know which ones to avoid.

I am not, and never was, the final arbiter. I wasn't at all trying to say if you make me laugh, you're funny. The final arbiter is really what can only be called, "The Tardthink". But I will say, and this is only one man's opinion, you're digging yourself a rather large hole.

I thought that was funny, but apparently I'm not funny, which begs this question:

 

Funny = funny

 

not funny = not funny

 

not funny + funny = ?

 

I'm pretty sure not funny + not funny = funny. Kind of like how a double-negative works.
