h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

I think I'm agreeing with you too weaver, or at least I'm saying I wouldn't neccessarily mark a piece down if a punchline didn't make me laugh so much the second time around.

Yes Weaver & Station,

I agree with all you say too. What was I trying to say, and more in relation to these worders, is that if a piece is a humour piece it tends to stick in my memory more so, where as on a reread of some the other pieces I might need a refresher.
A 'joke', 'punchline' is almost always easier to recall, BUT I wouldn't mark down a piece if I didn't enjoy it as much on a second read. I try to go on my first reaction - Did I get it? Did it make me laugh? Was it funny, witty, original? Was it well-written? (Not neccessarily in that order).

Humour's a funny ole thing, ain't it?!

Only when it's safe Jen.

As in when it's 'not dangerous'??

I've never been beaten up by humour but I've got a few kicks out of it. Does that count?

Good morning guys and dolls,

nice to see everyone up and at it early in the day

How is everyone this fine morn (thanks for the b'day greetings Jen)

Hope they didn't hurt too much! I was making a reference to "My funny valentine" - couldn't resist it. Funnily enough, there is such a thing as safe humour. It's usually used to describe early evening sitcoms. i.e. not very funny but a guarantee that even the most ardent whinger could not be offended by it. Not that I think that humour should be offensive to anyone.

If it makes you laugh, it always counts. If it makes everybody laugh, it pays the bills.

Aha! Who's full of the wit this bright morn then, eh??!!

Ms Lynda - the 21yr old, Kylie Minogue lookalike - how's the wee head??

And Sir Station - Cheers for that. Gotta go feed a dog and a 6yr old - so will reply later. I'm not in the humour this morning, though.

Both mutt and child are driving me crazzzzzzy! AAGGHH!

Have great w'ends folks. I intend to.

Thanks for that JENifer Love Hewitt

CYA all later

Set the dog on the postman and take the child to school. Don't go crazy.

Have a good one yourself...

Had too much coffee this a.m, so it sent me crazy. The Sea-Monkeys are very quiet today though and Thomas is at school so I've a bit of time to un-wreck my head.

Hello Lynda, just seen your post.

Happy Birthday from me too. Been up and at it TOO early myself. Ho-hum.

Happy Nirthday, Lynda.

SE: RE: Sea monkeys - what is going on there? I don't understand it and it scares me. I'm convinced their going to leave their wee container and suck my brain out while I sleep. What are they? How are they? Why are they?

K.

Happy Birthday Lynda!

ps. I score by reading stories twice, leaving a comment, reading again, scoring, then leave it alone. That way I'm scoring while the story is fresh.

Lynda - as well as a happy nirthday, I hope you have a Happy Birthday too.

Happy Mirthday, Lynda!

Lordy...

I'll dissect your "quotes".

You forgot to add the part when I say it isn't the rule (and only a fool would think so). However, it is a trend. Tell marketing people that it isn't mostly women that go to see rom-coms at the cinema. It's just a fact.

<>

You forgot to include the line when I said it was in irony. However, it is mostly female on this challenge and there is usually somewhat of a consensus on the best story. That doesn't sound like a falsehood to me, just stating facts

<>

Well, it is mostly men that enjoy my more graphic stories/poems(?). I've had one shocked reaction from a man that I can remember and several from women. So what's wrong with that? Again, it's stating a fact and I think there is a reason behind it.

Women are known to be different to men in general, not least because you/they use varying areas of the brain in every day life, amongst other things.
