and here's something
weird: my place
in Humor 3-space

Friday, October 31, 2003
 
Well, unlike half of my readership, I don't have mono and I don't plan on getting it, so I'm going out tonight dressed as an artist's rendering of famous terrorist. Is this a bad idea? Am I asking for trouble? I'll have a package, tied up with string and addressed to a Computer Science professor at MIT, and at some point I will have to ride the subway. There will be a huggamajillion police officers on the street tonight, and they're at some kind of ultra-twitchy Department of Homeland Security MegaVigilant Supersaturated 100% Magenta Alert level. I don't want to trigger some kind of automatic wanted-poster-related target practice reflex in one of those ephedrine-popping third shifters.
     The problem with cops? No sense of humor. They have other problems, but you can trace them all to the humor thing. It would be fun, on Halloween, to pretend that every cop you see is just a dude dressed up as a cop. You know, you grab his gun and say "freeze, pig! You have the right to eat a bowl of dick!" and then fire a couple of shots in the air. Ha! I think you could get away with it, too. Just explain to the judge that it was an honest mistake: "the guy was waaay too fat to have passed a police physical and waaaaaay too stupid to have passed a written test -- or at least it seemed that way when I heard him screaming racist epithets at the gay dude he was beating to death." And when you address the judge, say "your honor" with little finger quotes, as if you think he's just in costume too. And you should keep looking around the courtroom with a smirk, checking under tables and such, and let it be known that you believe the whole proceeding is just part of a hidden camera reality show.
     Then, when you're in jail, you can try the same thing with the guards and Big Sam, your affectionate roommate: "you better keep your big mitts off me, Sam, or I'm'a shank you in the yard tomorrow! With a shiv I made! Right here in 'the joint!' No, you shut up! Ha ha!" Then you can mock the coroner's long white "dress!"
     Um... sorry. I'm gonna wait til I get to the party to put on the costume, maybe. Have fun, kids. And check out the pix page for a new mustache theory pic.

DISALLOWED FOREVER

"I could tell you, but then I'd have to kill you!"
-
"from whence"
-
"...the exception that proves the rule"
-
any use of the question "spit or swallow?"
-
the phrase "drop trou"
-
fake-o reviewer verbs:
"penned" for wrote
"helmed" for directed
"lensed" for whatever
-
"expat"
-
the euphemism
"passed away"
-
pronouncing merci beaucoup as "mercy buckets!"
(see also: "grassy-ass!")



PET PEEVES

"confinscated"
-
trying children "as adults"
-
"drownded"
-
misuse of reflexive pronouns, as when someone says "Please talk to Bob or myself." Come on people now. "Myself" is not just a fancy version of "me"! LEARN IT.
-
tattoos in the Courier font
-
any use of Comic Sans
