You know, usually I win the prize in the bad taste award, but now I clearly bow to the master. Clearly. I'm torn between revulsion and childlike admiration.

Yozhik, because of your silly capital letter, you are lower. Had I used caps, I'd be number 2 or 3. <laughs>

Now I would like to point out that although my member number is fairly high, it is still nice and big and round, which makes everyone happy when you're dealing with numbers.

Sadly, I'm one of those people who deals with the tragic through comedy. I make people really uncomfortable while doing it, and I know that's part of the charm, which is really, really bad of me.
Example: I was talking to an Improv Comedienne that my sister LOVED, and who I've been an acquaintance with for a long time. (Her name is Lisa.)

I thrive on awkward pauses, but usually I steer well clear on subjects of such... sensitivity.

I deal the same way, too. You should've seen all the suicide jokes I busted out after my aunt, my friend, my mom's friend, my cousin, and my uncle-who-wasn't-related-to-said-aunt all slit their wrists within a few years. Well, my mom's friend drowned herself in a bathtub after overdosing on tylenol PM (what a wimp), but you get the picture.

If I didn't have deflective humor I'd probably be dead. (joke?)
Recent situation: Guy writes a goodbye note and blows off head. We receive note, try to intervene, and are sad to learn we're too late. Family, having discovered body, learns that his final interaction was with us and not them. The statement is made: "I'm so mad, I could kill him!" I laugh. [insert people not agreeing or being too polite to say so]

Heh. That would've gotten a snort out of me no matter what the situation was.
I'm a delayed-emotion kind of person, so I certainly would've been able to see the humor in that, if I were them. I'd want to hit you, but I'd still find it funny.

You know what this thread needs? That single digit Belgarath guy to show up and totally destroy everyone else's low member number hopes and dreams.
Of course, I have to hope and dream that the confusion sometimes caused by my sharing a first name with Mike gets me a teensy bit of vicarious low member number hopes and dreams. At least I know that no matter what else happens I'll still always have member number 1 at sakeriver.

Yozhik, it wasn't original. Beyond the inside joke, it's supposed to be evidence of Hatrackian age and memory; *you* drew it, back before there were member numbers...

Oops. With such a low member number I thought you might have been Al Gore or whoever invented the Internet.

Not only has Richard Berg been around since the paleolionic, he's got it all saved to disk! (I wonder how many times I've contradicted myself since then?) Posts: 2843 | Registered: A Long Time Ago!

And I can't shake the connection between skillery and Hillary. So if the Former First Lady and the Former VP fight, who will win?
