laundromat_or_disneyland kss well, it's a long story. then again, I've got nothing but time. I'll stand in this parking lot for days, not because I have to, but because it's as good a place to stand around as any other. how interesting. what fun. it's all good. 021029 ... xad where am i now? 021104 ... werewolf my dad died in one of these places. guess which one. happiest place on earth my ass. 021105 ... p2 let me guess he tried to climb into the dryer parents these days watch too many cartoons 021105 ... werewolf i remember you argued that death wasn't funny. i'm glad you saw the error in your ways. 021105 ... p2 thought you had thicker fur sorry but you did tell me to guess and the humor is not in your father's death but death by a dryer anyway my apologies for my insensitivity 021105 ... werewolf did i say i was offended? 021105 ... p2 ermmm ok then your point was my apparent hypocrisy eh? if you had read through death_is_funny i made a few distinctions please re-read them if you still disagree ok see: i've_been_described_as 021106 ... werewolf so death is funny sometimes? but only if it's laundry related? what if it's vacuum related? or shampoo related? also funny? now if the person crawls in the dryer with the intent to die is that less funny? it ruins the suicide note. 021106 ... werewolf and besides...you've been described as hot and i saw your picture so i know sometimes other people's descriptions lack the merit of my own. although certainly you seem like a humping monster to me. 021106 ... werewolf also if a person tries to kill themselves by jumping a fence at the zoo and forcing themselves romantically on a rhino...funny? like will the rhino's family protest outside of the funeral? oh and if a clown dies...is that funny? say he gets a concussion from a particularly vicious pie to the face? 021106 ... p2 whoa down doggie i was trying to avoid a drawn out blather but ok if you read my previous postings i said death itself is simply an event no humor no tragedy it's the surrounding circumstances that make it humorous or tragic as for the i've_been_described_as reference i was directing you to "hypocritical" which you are more than welcome to consider me as but as you said some descriptions lack merit and your opinion of me is based on your misinterpretation of my words so whatever 021106 ... werewolf or say you're a young boy and you're just getting home from one last ride on space mountain and you're met by your frantically crying mother on the way back to your hotel room where your father was staying since he didn't feel good and decided to take the day off, but encouraged us to go ahead, and she's telling you to hurry up you have to say goodbye to your father. Say you see him sputtering and generally shattering the images you held of him as strong and the world as predictable, fair, and in line with our own values. Say your mother tells you he didn't go to the hospital because he wanted to wait for his children but you don't really understand what she means. Say she tells you to hug him but he scares you because he doesn't look like the him you've hugged all these years. Now say just for the sake of this that you feel the urge to say something. He tells you he loves you, and you say something kind of fidgety (not that you've ever said the right thing in any other situation) like "you're not dying are you, cuz then shouldn't you be giving me some speech?" Now say he maybe laughs, but you aren't sure, it could've been a cough. And the next time you see him everyone comments on how peaceful he looks or how he still has his smirk or something, but a vague answer might as well be condemnation to a life of second guessing when your last words were sarcastic and guarded. Say all of that....funny isn't it? If you said no you're wrong. It's hilarious, and no i'm not being sarcastic. Would I do a thing like that? After the first death there is no other. 021106 ... werewolf and no...no human death is ever neutral. our very definition of what it means to be human is the subjective emotional values we use on average to judge a worthwhile life by. A death in the news is just a death, but there is no death within our realm of human relationships that does not carry emotional implications. Of course it is the circumstances around something that we use to decide its status as funny or tragic, but when people use death in the general sense unqualified by circumstances, they mean the average circumstances surrounding that word. And yes, there are average circumstances. Death affects us all in similar enough ways for there to be books and books filled with information on the grieving process etc. etc. So when people say death is funny or death is tragic, they are of course referring to the main effect it carries across various other independant variables in human behavior and emotional reaction. and there are aspects of it both funny and tragic and it is never one or the other, not if one gives it enough thought. 021106 ... werewolf and another thing...i don't interpret you anyway other than what i've read. you have a better way? i don't dislike you, or disappreciate your jokes. i'm just trying to add to the fun right? 021106 ... werewolf i think that if a person thinks life is funny, if they feel life is sad. Most people do both. although funny certainly is an emotional experience. interesting. 021106 ... blahxle now is this what you guys are Supposed to be doing? have you finished your work already? i didn't think so. so go sit down. 021106 ... werewolf sorry nothing but idle hands here. 021106 ... p2 "I said its all good and its all in fun. NOW GET IN THE PIT AND TRY TO LOVE SOMEONE!!" - Kid Rock (Bawitdaba) 021107 ... werewolf if you ever qoute kid rock again i will get in the pit and try to love you and you will be sorry. you will suffer my friend. 021107 ... p2 thanks for the offer but i'll have to pass i'm not into beastiality 021107 ... Angry Mickey ho, there! you freaks! get the hell out of our parking lot! 021107 ... x Most people, if you asked them whether they would want to go to the laundromat or disneyland, would just say "disneyland". I, on the other hand, would point out that disneyland is a good 7 hour drive, and I have $200 to cover all of my expenses for the next month, and that doesn't include gas or admission to disneyland. i would also mention that i do have some laundry to do, and i wasn't planning on it any time soon. also, i have a washer and dryer in my building, so i'd have no need to go to the laundromat. i'd tell you all this and more, even knowing that it was a hypothetical question. this is because i'm annoying. this is because i'm my mother's daughter. 030806 ... . . 050518 ... . . 090508 ... xad I guess some things don't change.
