The funniest AH dweller

[gunhilltrain]

So we can vote more than once? I will nominate electricblue66, although he often rips me for my New York references. Hey, if you can make it here, you can make it anywhere! Although, sometimes I wonder: why not just go to one of those other places, make it there, and save yourself the hassles?

 

[gunhilltrain]

Hey,

I just said that. Well I guess you did actually.

Nobody has nominated EmilyMiller yet? Then I will. (And don't try to tell me that EmilyMillerSub is not the same person!)

All day I've been like, Em? Is that too obvious? Thanks for pulling the trigger on that one.

 

[TxRad]

Six people nominating each other. Now, let's think of some creative ways to become even more pathetic.

Speaking of pathetic. Loosen up before your startchd collar strangles the rest of the life out of you.

Denying a member the chance to talk about themselves? Are you serious? They are putting so much effort into creating 30K+ word stories just to place themselves as the main character. Who in their right mind would pass up a free opportunity like this?

She did say that she was a bit nervous about bringing up those topics. It is admirable if she wished to do that. I couldn't come close to talking about myself like that. By the way, if I have any narrators who loosely resemble myself, I could only dream that half those events really happened to me.

Of course they are the same person, silly. I explained that.

I think you are a little confused, hun. It can happen with age.

I don't have one person to nominate for this thread, but I like the idea of it, and I appreciate the efforts of all of those who try to keep things light and fun. That's how it's supposed to be here. Over the last few months I'd say EmilyMiller has done a better job of that than anyone else.

But whenever these "Who's number 1?" debates come up I always think about what Kareem Abdul Jabbar said about the NBA GOAT debate. He said, "It's not Highlander. There can be more than just one."

 

[AwkwardlySet]

There can be more than just one."

Pure sacrilege.

I feel a little nervous to share all this personal stuff but here we go.

I'm 44 and almost all the "tragedy" is self-inflicted nonsense due to me being an infantile doofus who had a bad habit of falling in love with people I really shouldn't have. And I'm not sure that rates as tragedy. It's more bone-headedness.

I still have two parents who love me, even though (to be honest) neither of them understand me at all. I had everything I needed while growing up, if not very much of what I might have wanted, and probably came out better for it. I had no childhood traumas, no abuse, no lack of love and affection from those around me.

My life is actually remarkable for how non-traumatic it is and has been. Fully a quarter of the other girls I know suffered sexual abuse before the age of fifteen. Others lived through the horrors of divorce, death, teenage pregnancy - often more than one at a time. Statistically at least one of my classmates from school has been killed by her husband or lover. Probably more, given the country I grew up in.

I have, somehow, made it to where I am now almost entirely unscathed by others.

Not so much myself - there are at least two occasions where I should have died and somehow didn't - once at age 2 in a pool and the second time at age 12 on a hike when I got briefly caught in undertow and was nearly swept out to sea.

I'm extremely appreciative of how privileged I am. So I read a lot, and internalise a lot, and try to be thoughtful and kind when I can. I guess I find it easy to put myself in other people's shoes - sometimes anyway.

The humour is just the fact that I love laughing at my own puns. That and I'm not actually a person; I'm two lemurs and an emperor penguin in a frock.

That really wasn't very funny.

 

[MelissaBaby]

I am using my exclusive right as a topic starter to nominate a second person. I nominate @Tilan . At least half of his posts contain jabs towards some AH member, but the humor is top-notch

Fine. Don't nominate me. I still got the prize money.

 

[onehitwanda]

That really wasn't very funny.

I'm broken that way.

 

[AwkwardlySet]

I would call you a materialist, but it would be too funny even for this thread

 

[MelissaBaby]

I'm broken that way.

The penguin thing was pretty good, though.

If I was in it for the money, I'd be cranking out lap sitting mother fucker stories.

I was actually expecting a Vegas story after getting that prize. THEN I would have nominated you...

I doubt he's as old as whoever that is in the avatar. I asked him about it once, I forgot what he said.

Gosh almighty, I go away for a few hours, and this thread is overrun with posters.

Corrected that for you, Millie. Made us all fancy wankers though .

And stop calling me Shirley.

Ah the classics!

I may not know my old cop shows, but Airplane is up there with Citizen Kane.

Clarification: intentional or unintentional? Might make a difference.

Let's keep it to "intentional". Unintentional would get mean-spirited pretty fast.

 

[TxRad]

Unintentional intent is a hard act to follow.
