Hehe Joy msned me and told me I was nominated. I've been mentioned twice!
Possum's humour appeals to me. An eccentric (and difficult to pull off) mixture of dry and wacky, with a dash of affrontiveness. Daever's my runner up.
Edit: Honourable mentions to dcrofty and Fattyandthepiemakers, seeing they haven't been nominated yet. They don't seem to set out to be funny, but their semi-intellectual sort of quips make me lol on occasion.
Random kinda humour appeals to me, but as was mentioned before it has to be done well. cf. Bill Bailey and that sorta thing. I also like Russian-type jokes (Rory - think Doug's migrating ducks and the brick in the field joke). That being said, probably every one of the half a dozen or so
intelligent members on here has come out with some pearlers.
I too am enjoying the Plow King polarisation internet drama unfolding in here. Just so you know.
Edit 2: providing quotes is a good idea, but I, along with everyone else it seems, couldn't be arsed.
A common theme for myself and most others in this thread is intelligence, and those who write with a certain style of their own. Being yourself is funnier than trying really hard.
Agreed 100%. If I write a post and
try to be funny, it will crash and burn. However, I do wonder if people like Possum (yes, I want to make 'Possum' stick) - because their posts are almost
all funny to some degree - deliberately try to be.
