Some silly threads are very much appreciated by Forumosans, yet they are unfortunately left to rot with other temporary matters. Surely a purpose of this website is to encourage some originality? I agree the bread and butter is good, swift information, i.e. where to get your testicles recalibrated in Miaoli, or a really good gurner in Hsinchu, but there is also a lot of pretty funny material that gets fed to the dogs. Is there a place in your hearts, and bandwidths, for the funnier and more urbane threads to be allowed a place in history?

Wednesday:PM me the name of the film the quote comes from. The first correct answer will be my God for the day, and will be prayed to for another typhoon! Gambini: Well, I got a bullsh*t traffic ticket. I went to court, I got the cop on the stand, and I argued with him until he admitted he was wrong. And the judge, this Judge Malloy. All the while he’s laughing and smiling. And then afterwards, he asks me to go to lunch with him. Then he says to me, “you know what? You’d be a good litigator.” I didn’t know what the hell he was talking about, I don’t know what a litigator is. I never thought of becoming a lawyer. But this Judge Malloy, who’s from Brooklyn, too? He did it, so all of a sudden, it seemed possible.[/quote]TomHill -
unh hunh…OK. I like funny. Funny is good. Real good.
For heaven’s sake, DO A SEARCH! This has been covered many times.
FYI, Ah Chung at 2F, 37 Cheng Gang Rd. does a reasonable job and his rates are fair.
We’d need a special sub-forum for sandman’s own particular brand of humour. 
If the humour got taken care of then the very strange threads such as frozen nipples and curry rings of fire would need a place of their own to live as well.
Maybe a Believe it or Not forum for all the strange and funny stuff that really does not have a home. NSFW and adults only would help.
I think that it would actually be the RichardM forum.

Ask for “Wanda”, Saturday afternoons are usually busy but the relief is wonderful.
If we could first put an entry in the communist censor bot thingee, so that the forum name would be spelled correctly, Humor, this would be a great idea for a forum. 
The word is spelt h-u-m-o-u-r in countries where there is no problem memorising the spelling of words longer than five letters. 
Perhaps it’s best to have two separate threads, one for humour, for, you know, like the really funny stuff, and then one for humor for…well, you know…the other stuff… 
:beatnik:
I say poh-tay-toh… you say poh-tah-toh
I say tom-ay-toh… you say to-mah-toh
Poh-tay-toh… poh-tah-toh
Tom-ay-toh… to-mah-toh
Let’s call the whole thing off.
I like the cut of your gib, squire. This patois does matter!
Where? Like Zimbabwe?
Very humorous! :bravo: :America:
I’m gonna wait till this thread gets REALLY heated before I mention the vice president who spelt “potato” with an “e” at the end.
… oh damn, I’ve mentioned it.

Now he was both humorous and humourous! Wasn’t he from Zimbabwe?
OK, here it is …
What if we call it “The H Forum” ??
*Truly, I don’t give a damn … but it’s a good idea for a forum.

Yeah, didn’t I just get an email from him??
I think he misspelt “billions of dollars”, “shelter”, and “remit”…
But I did like the part where he addressed me as “Dearest Compassionate Christian Faithful Sir”
That was classy…
I suggest “The Funny Forum”, but definitely not “The Fanny Forum”. That word means something altogether different on either side of the pond.
and either side of the ? centre point? G spot? Freckle?
Now yur cookin’ … how about “The Funny Farm”? It has a meaning that might only exist in humorous places, meaning a mental institution. Fitting.

Ah well, you see, it was supposed to be a play on words, “Funny Forum” instead of “Funny Farm”, like it’s “Forumosa” instead of “Formosa”.
One of these days people will get my Irish sense of… erm… (dare I say) “humour”.
