If it doesn't have to be spelled out... You are functioning just fine. 

 

One of my other favorites and you've probably all heard this one before:

 

Me: Spell Shop

Other: S H O P

Me: What do you do at a Green Light

 

You'd be amazed how many people say Stop

I don't want to wait until I go bawahahaha. Can you explain yourself?

[formerly33]

Also, you wouldn't be saying that if you could eavesdrop on my conversations with my friends.

 

 

But the same could apply to you guys, I guess.

[Platoon]

For research... I've told that joke many times to many different people. 

 

Sample Study of 100. 

 

47% Don't get it

 

Until I say "Skeleton Drinking a Beer... Straight to the Floor... It's a Skeleton... he needs the Mop"

 

 

And Then a Pause

 

and BAWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

Has your research shown any difference in the percentages, depending on which side of the Red River you tell the joke?

[Riverbrian]

 

We can still win this game.  

 

GLORM!!!

 

What's Going Down?

 

Now you Type... "Let's See... My 401K... The Occasional Airplane... But mostly my Butt in this chair".

Count me in as a believer.

[Squirrel]

Well, I never said 'Present company excluded.'

[formerly33]

 

Count me in as a believer.

Same here.

LOL... Unfortunately it does. 

[formerly33]

 

Well, I never said 'Present company excluded.'

Unfortunately whatever is left unsaid usually goes as said with the exact opposite meaning. Which is where extroverts come in handy.

[USAFChief]

 

Same here.

Not a trace...of doubt in my mind.

[formerly33]

 

Not a trace...of doubt in my mind.

You hesitated.

[Riverbrian]

 

Not a trace...of doubt in my mind.

 

Here we Come... Walking down the Street... We get the funniest looks from... Everyone we meet

[Riverbrian]

BTW... Go ahead and try get that out of your head now. 

[formerly33]

I got ya there! I've never heard the song!

[USAFChief]

I like having RB around.  He's like me, with enough useless information floating around his head to get my Hannibal Lector quotes and Monkees references.

 

 

[Platoon]

The little Davis boy tried his best, but we need his dad now!

[Riverbrian]

 

I got ya there! I've never heard the song!

 

For Anyone Over 50

 

They sang the next line and it'll be in their head for probably a couple of days. 

[Squirrel]

You know what works to get rid of earworm? Hum the Hawaii 5-0 theme song.

[Mill1634]

Our bat's disappeared. 

[glunn]

 

BTW... Go ahead and try get that out of your head now. 

The cure for that would involve taking a train to Clarksville.

[Platoon]

Book em Danno!

[Riverbrian]

Someone has to attempt to spell it. 

[USAFChief]

Bu-bu-bu-bah, baaah-bah.  Bu-bu-bu-bah, bah.  Bu-bu-bu-bah, bah, BAHHHH, bu-bu-bup-pup-PAAAHHH.

 

Yep.  No earworms.

[Riverbrian]

 

The cure for that would involve taking a train to Clarksville.

 

A little bit of me... and a little bit of you in that sentence

[USAFChief]

They call it the Red River Valley, right Bri?

 

How was your weekend?  Another pleasant valley Sunday?

[USAFChief]

Well damn.  I was convinced we were gonna sweep May.

[Platoon]

Brian remembers the Red River Valley.................

[Riverbrian]

And on that Note...

 

The Twins lost... this has been a circus boy update...  Oh Well... Cheer Up Sleepy Jean

I thought there was a moderator's note for no more Simian jokes... oh wait. Sorry. That was Semien.

 

But on a serious note, perhaps i need to listen to Monkees a bit more. Broaden my musical horizons...

 

Anyway, thanks all for the game thread. Coulda been worse.

I am not a believer.
