Do respond to my critique, if you get the chance. Will Ferrell: Of the limited movies I've seen (I don't believe he does standup?) he seems to be just...

Name a comedian you do like. Who isn't dead. And actually claims the profession of "comedian". Honestly curious. The two mentioned are just fine for t...

:rofl: Oh no, my inexperienced friend, let me assure you, men are simply more physically, and as a result socially, capable of carrying out nefarious ...

Not all feelings are strictly physical. You know that. It's not like he's naked outside. Or is that how you imagine Jamal? :snicker:
February 01, 2024 at 03:13
Only when compounded with absurdity, invoking a sense of the surreal. That's like saying I took a test and expected to get an "A", but got a "B" inste...

You clearly are not acquainted with this Hanoverian gem from one of the earlier short story comps. It's less funny (or notable) the second time around...
January 31, 2024 at 20:10
I wouldn't be so certain. Some people find sanctimoniousness to be quite funny. The point does not seem to be lost either way, it's just added enterta...

Perhaps OP neglected, perhaps for an unavoidable reason such as time or other constraints, what his philosophical views or belief(s) as to why this ti...
January 31, 2024 at 10:32
It's how I judge the works of those with a message worth sharing and perhaps encouraging and naturally later enforcing (though that hardly happens), y...

Reminds me of my childhood watching VHS cartoons: Hanna-Barbara, Felix the Cat, Betty Boop, etc. The only time the use of unsupervised television was ...

I'm almost certain he was being facetious and made a non-facetious point in the process. Though some original Hanoverian music would certainly be appr...
January 27, 2024 at 23:10
Oh so is an infrequent morning fog. Come on, give us a little more than that. Why are you a better or different person, at least, how has your mind or...
January 27, 2024 at 15:40
Oh come now. Surely anyone could say that about anything really. Sure, it's all been done before. Every point of logic explored, every crevice of the ...
January 26, 2024 at 13:41
As legendary rap artist Tupac would say, "well that's just a muh' futtin' opinion." Listen to this classic, one of his most popular (if not, should be...
January 26, 2024 at 07:13
More of a musing, I'd say. It clearly crossed the threshold into Museland from Observationville when it invoked two dynamics of different states of ti...
January 25, 2024 at 02:47
Any one of those pictured could have craniums the size and shape of a watermelon and jawlines reminiscent of the same, flesh literally rotting off eve...
January 24, 2024 at 13:47
Start away, please. It'd be my honest pleasure to indulge in finding out what casts such pernicious ire into someone I presume, by your status as site...
January 24, 2024 at 13:32
As a supernaturalist, I tend to believe things (not everything mind you, that would be mania, but some things) in life are actually metaphors. Perhaps...
January 24, 2024 at 12:00
Hm. Neither fins nor scales. Non-Orthodox, I see. Interesting. Yeah I had a friend of mine comment one time how I walk like a shrimp, legs forward, as...
January 24, 2024 at 03:30
No recipe we can follow along with? Sigh, the Shoutbox is a cruel mistress. Sometimes it delights. Other times it disappoints. Such is life, I suppose...
January 24, 2024 at 01:31
It's frustrating me, out of all the topics that are a bit over my head or which otherwise fizzle my brain out, this literal nothing of a meme has evol...
January 22, 2024 at 18:33
Very succinct, well-thought out, written, and agreeable, with the exception of this line. Roads always existed. Either trails for walking or leading l...
January 22, 2024 at 05:02
Hasn't (s)he? "You are what you eat". Your name is "Noble Dust". Dust, in terms of context of comestibles, is grain or flour. So perhaps some sort of ...
January 21, 2024 at 19:12
Ah, I get it. Ebonics. "Be more specific" = "be more pacific". Hey I don't have perfectly formed tongue, vocal, and throat muscles either. When I get ...

While I can't say I'm familiar with any scientific research or lack thereof involving chiropractic, and generally rank your general knowledge as on pa...
January 19, 2024 at 17:54
I've had a cousin who saw acupuncture in a favorable, presumably productive light. What about chiropractic? People say that's "not a real science/medi...
January 19, 2024 at 03:54
You start getting into dangerous territory when you start asserting and especially consciously performing actions or making decisions that decide what...
January 19, 2024 at 02:10
Age old question. Is it as simple as this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YBQ4rQJ0mkY .. or something far greater? I for one hope it is indeed someth...
January 18, 2024 at 09:21
:rofl: I'm disappointed to be quite honest. Though I had a feeling it was Hanover for a reason I will keep to myself lest I be called a name. I'm disa...
January 18, 2024 at 00:51
Let's remove the Star Trek weirdness and simplify your professedly-unique argument into the classic one, that is nothing new, and has thoroughly been ...
January 17, 2024 at 09:42
I'd question that. I doubt the suggestion that feedback, (not part of a larger conceptual argument and thus not "feedback" per se), short of ad homine...
January 15, 2024 at 11:34
See this is the problem with (not TPF, or discourse wherever it may occur, but rather) modern debate writ-large. We go off on personal tangents, warra...
January 14, 2024 at 23:39
Purposeless degradation or defilement of one's character. It's a literal legal concept, thousands of years old. Slander. If I come up to you and your ...
January 14, 2024 at 22:57
Well of course not, that's an out-of-context clipping of a larger sentiment, which was also an opinion, one that we both know is shared by the majorit...
January 14, 2024 at 22:43
Some success of a lesson that was. NOT! :smirk:
January 14, 2024 at 21:12
I trust there will be no shortage of hopefully nearly-offensively high resolution imagery that you will not skimp out on sharing with us all.
January 14, 2024 at 19:39
I for one love a set of well-defined and descriptive criterion one can agree or unpack numerically! 1.) What is the universe? The thing we see when we...
January 14, 2024 at 00:06
I still have a problem with people trying to say not being an insensitive douche is some sort of political culture. It's simply not being an insensiti...
January 13, 2024 at 20:30
Surely a proper eulogy is in order.
January 13, 2024 at 09:15
After reading this, I can say I'm confused by it. That's certainly true. Everything being permitted would seem to encapsulate or otherwise constitute ...
January 13, 2024 at 01:30
It'd be funnier if they were both the same author. But your point is not lost. Not entirely, at least.
January 12, 2024 at 00:43
Or perhaps simply, sentimental and sensitivity are one and the same in the most base, intrinsic level. One simply of regard to the past, and the other...
January 10, 2024 at 22:57
I question, if not chuckle at, the idea this site, much as I enjoy it, has the need for additional resources in the moderation department. As if there...
January 10, 2024 at 14:02
Is a plant conscious because it can, and never fail to, grow toward a source of light and solve a maze, granted over time, humans would struggle to? S...
January 10, 2024 at 13:33
You agree with his factual understanding of the current political and social climate then. At no point did he say he would enjoy doing so, naturally h...
January 10, 2024 at 00:41
I don't think so. It can be, not unreasonably, ascertained that the rhetoric question of "What will you be remembered for?" is a near-virtual equivale...
January 09, 2024 at 20:06
I can assure you that was not the intent, simply an attempt to invoke a blunt realistic comparison to gain some common ground between the individual a...
January 09, 2024 at 19:55
Plato has and will be known for millennia, unless you, which I wouldn't be surprised in the least, start to doubt his existence as well. What will you...
January 09, 2024 at 11:15
People are busy. The contest is fun and exciting, but reading 16 stories each with the same degree of intent, focus, and most importantly passive envi...
January 09, 2024 at 09:27
I don't know what it is but I had to force myself to keep reading it. It's late, I had a bit to drink, though that's actually when I'm most sharp. (Ag...
