Lbm Posted February 12, 2012 Share Posted February 12, 2012 Instead of the Godwin/Hitler cliche natural progression, I like that it seems to be turning a nice thread into a food one. Now that's a Win-Win situation in my book Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Josh Posted February 12, 2012 Share Posted February 12, 2012 Oh I have one of those close to me - that might be an option for lunch tomorrow. Get it done! But yeah, as I found out, it's only on the lunchtime menu. But I just have the New York Deli pizza when I go. Yum! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Graham1984 Posted February 12, 2012 Share Posted February 12, 2012 I loved the progression of this thread from serious subject to a hotdog debate while semi crash landing into Lbm's cleaning practice.

Charlotte Posted February 12, 2012 Share Posted February 12, 2012 I had a pretty special one last week here: http://www.supersausagecafe.co.uk/ OMG that's amaze. On the original point, I find some jokes a little distasteful, especially where death is concerned. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Morpheus Posted February 12, 2012 Share Posted February 12, 2012 It's interesting, this Celebrity death joke thing. There seems to be an unquantifiable amount of time that needs to pass and then they become more acceptable and they can be funny. Too soon though and it seems very wrong. I wonder how one measures the time differential from tasteless to acceptably funny? Duh! It's obviously an inverse exponential function of the time/respect continuum. I think! Put very simply, humour is always an attempt to bring balance to the force, if you'll forgive the Jedi-Zen analogy. Both positive and negative extremes are there to be called upon for inspiration, (either solemnity or indifference), depending on the mood of the individual, like plucking a book or Dvd from a shelf. It could be that some people don't handle death well. It scares them. They tend not to joke about it as it is assumed to be a negative event by definition, rather than simply the shedding of a physical body, (that no longer 'suits' their soul purpose), and a peaceful transition from one state of consciousness to another, as some, including myself believe, after 25 years of serious research into the subject, on and off. Others, having either denied or resolved any emotional issues surrounding life's most inevitable conclusion, at least on a superficial level, are more inclined to engage in cheeky banter and even this sort of forward planning.... http://forum.ship-of-fools.com/cgi-bin/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=get_topic;f=28;t=001807;p=1 In this context, Whitney Houston's untimely demise is considered fair game. To be honest, I thought she'd died of a drug overdose years ago. I know she nearly did several times! Still, a great loss to those that knew her and all of her fans. I was a mere Pup of only 18 when 'I Wanna Dance With Somebody' was in all the nightclubs so it brings back some fondle mammaries of really big hair! Another tribute, if you don't mind CJ?

Chris Wilson Posted February 12, 2012 Share Posted February 12, 2012 Humour has, throughout the history of mankind, had a cruel element, and a riske element, and often elements of distastefulness. Combine all three and you have the basis for a real cracker Celebrities are of course fair game for all these nuances, as are relatives, neighbours and people down the pub. It has always been this way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
