Of course, my sense of humor is pretty dirty. On the one hand, its a little subversive because women aren't "supposed" to say certain things, on the other, you just risk a new kind of shock value. It's the Sarah Silverman paradox. (well, without the sleeping with a succession of increasingly famous comics part)

It's not the ONLY element of my humor... and I tend more toward double-entendres (or pointing out other people's entendres) saying the filthy. I do get scolded for it sometimes though.

This is from several hours ago now, but...

ChiKat, are you going to be home tonight?

Eventually, yes. I'm leaving work now (I have mentioned I only have 2 more weeks here, yes?? Dear, me, I can't wait for these hours to be over and done with.) I'm running by Borders, but should be home by 9:30.

I hear from a mutual friend that Narrator is safe.

Thank you, Cindy. I was wondering about her.

Physical comedy is often done badly, often done to excess, and often gets laughs anyway. And I can roll my eyes and think it's pandering, but I kinda think that other people genuinely find it funny. See any of five thousand terrible, repetitive sitcoms that nonetheless have fans.

I just don't see physical comedy as being that rampant or insidious. Is it really that big a part of sit coms? The only physical bits I can think of recently(ish) are Niles on Frasier (funny), various people on Will & Grace (sometimes funny) and a lot of puking and bleeding on SNL (which really seem like visual fart jokes to me).

My FSIL asked me this question and I didn't know but figured the Hivemind would -- which states use the internet the most/which states are the most internet savvy.

Are you talking about state governments, or overall use within the state?

So, Trudy just keeps track for those of us scoring at home. Even when we're alone.:) I stole that one from KO, who is my fake boyfriend because he can do that *and* talk about habeas corpus.(Any time you want out of the kiddie pool, dear, you can habeus my corpus, too.) There is no doubt in my mind there are several kinds of humor double standard, because half of my local disability community thinks I'm a giant perv.

And the other half knows it?

NOW I'm hungry. Roasting rosemary potatoes. Still queasy at the thought of pizza or pasta. Gnnrg.

Stuck home (should be at black belt training) with a misery of a headache. I tried sleeping, but waking up hurt too much. So I'm just going to move tentatively until the pizza (sorry sarameg) arrives.

Man, I need to be taken care of some days.

I'm glad you can enjoy pizza, ita. Pizza is good. I love eating it. It just doesn't always love me back. It's the trifecta of (I suspect) greasy carbs, lactose and acid that is just...bad. One piece is ok. More than that, erhm.
