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

Monday, December 22, 2003
 
I don't mean to startle you, folks, but in light of today's Vaterland Security Direktiv, I think it's time for an uncharacteristic stab at topical graphic parody. Therefore a new color-coded system for assessment and communication of the UDvsGA Threat Level has been developed and will henceforth be ignored completely:


My Unforgivable Christmas Hiatus begins tomorrow, as I'll be nestled in the dewy folds of the Delaware Water Gap, which my family has designated as the Least Likely Place To Hook The Computer Up To The Internet.
     I'm all for family events, and the potpourri of putative relatives from our international satellite outposts will make for a lot of interesting conversations. Like for example? Last year my German stepuncle in-law Berndt told me the following joke while we were smoking in the garage, which took like twenty minutes of fervent gesturing and mental-Deutsch/English-dictionary-searching (accompanied by lots of "Ach!"s and "Scheisse!"s) to successfully communicate (especially the concept of what sounded like "bejesse," which turned out to be "BSE," which turned out to be Bovine Spongiforme Enzephalopathie which of course is Bovine Spongiform Encephalopathy in English, and is more commonly known as Mad Cow Disease and oh god I know but hold on because I think you'll agree the joke is worth the wait:

Berndt's German Joke: A man walks into the butcher's shop. He looks in the case and doesn't see what he wants. He asks the butcher if they sell brains. The butcher replies: "No. Since BSE, we don't sell brains!"

     Ha!
     Believe me when I swear to you on Gregor's hairy balls that Berndt was quite visibly distressed that I did not find this joke to be the funniest thing on earth, and insisted on telling it three times to make sure I hadn't misunderstood it. I assure you that there was no intended play on "do you have brains" to mean "are you smart" or anything like that. That joke is totally straight-up, for sheezy. In his frustration, Berndt grabbed me by the shoulders to force my body to shudder in a gross pantominme of mirth. Sweet Jesus Christmas!
     So pray for me. I'll be back next week.

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
