Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

You know, they pay people professionally to sit and audiences and do this.

Yeah, he should definitely have that job.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

OMG I want to be a professional audience laugher.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I want to be a professional audience laugher.

Now I want to know about the demographics of a successful laugher. I mean, I get the head turns and strange looks (TMNT -- that was so much funnier than everyone else realised!), and I don't think I inspire camaraderie. Is it the timbre of my laugh? What? Why can't I be cool like Bob?

because you can't. you are different people. I remember just reading about that somewhere else....

Are you implying that no one can be cool like Bob in this way? That Bob is the only person that can make the rest of the audience laugh? That Bob's accomplishment is not to be aspired for?

Bob's ABD in philosophy makes him perfect as a professional laugher. You, OTOH, have marketable skills.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

ETA: in re-reading the post, it looked like I rocked a million weddings. I meant that I was the only person who laughed at it. I've rocked very few weddings.

Har.

ita, I'm pretty sure your whitefont would have me giving the guy a second look, honestly. Also on WC, I now realize I am helpless in the face of Vince Vaughn doing schtick, and I should really seek out all of the bad movies he's ever been in.

It's a flower girl! You'd have to be made of stone to not be affected by that, I swear.

Me, I have to admit I'm a sucker for the Butterscotch Stallion. The pursed lips and the soulfulness crack me up every time. Hell, just typing this is making me want to rewatch Starsky & Hutch.

My movie-mate is an OW girl, too. She said he could just read the phone book and that would be A-OK with her. I wonder if this is one of those Big Divide things.
