freeztar Posted March 24, 2008 Report Share Posted March 24, 2008 I didn't do anything for Easter except hang with my Peeps.No, seriously, that's all I got for the celebration of the ressurection...damn Peeps!So now they are lawn decorations and I'm doing an experiment to see if birds (the ones that actually go peep-peep) will think they are real, or just eat the damn things. I know what you're thinking, "I'm not gonna hang out with freeztar, look at what he does to his Peeps!". But I assure you folks, it was just a bad Easter...and I was out of birdseed. I tried to get some birdseed, but everything was closed. I couldn't even get a haircut. So I just glued some peeps to my hair and went to lay in the lawn. I will never hire a cardinal to shave my beard EVER again. I think Hell is run by Peeps... etc etc.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

freeztar Posted March 25, 2008 Report Share Posted March 25, 2008 Im laughing but i don't know what the hell peeps are. They're the most insidious Easter candy imho (in the US anyhow, I'm glad they haven't migrated that far just yet). They're marshmallow birds with enough shelf life to make you say...mmm...no thanks! Of course, the first reference was a play on words because "peeps" is used in some circles (at least in the US) as slang to mean "people". So, you could say, "I love my people", or "I love my peeps". I'll try to think of another Easter angle that is more universal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
freeztar Posted March 25, 2008 Report Share Posted March 25, 2008 Has anybody else realized that Easter spelled backwards is Retsae?!It drove me crazy! I've played all my old bunny vinyls backwards and haven't discovered the secret of Retsae yet, but I know it's hiding there because I heard the record say, "Eeeee-aa-ttt Mmmmm---eeeeee!". For some reason I just stopped the turntable and just started eating peeps. What else would possess a person to do such a thing...except Retsae!? So, when the Peep high wore off... --- Most people don't know that Jesus had an extreme phobia of worms. But yet, every Easter, we're reminded of his phobia...jumpin out of the ground all hasty like...Worms don't like wine...worms don't like bread...It's starting to make sense now isn't it.

freeztar Posted March 25, 2008 Report Share Posted March 25, 2008 Hahaha! :hihi: Yep, there's a whole culture of peeps, based around Peeps. I love the heiroglyphs! :hyper: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ahmabeliever Posted March 25, 2008 Author Report Share Posted March 25, 2008 Aww aint they cute, and 'edible' too! And Jesus turned to the man hanging on the cross next to him and said "My son, wouldst thou join me in heaven today" to which the man replied "My Lord, I'm just not that kind of guy". We here at peeps believe in a traditional Easter that's why our confectionary is made to last through armageddon. And Jesus turned to the man hanging on the cross next to him and said "My son, wouldst thou have any peeps?" And Jesus turned to the man hanging on the cross next to him and said "I wish I beleived in me". And the peeps went forth throughout the land and spread the joy of easter.

alexander Posted March 25, 2008 Report Share Posted March 25, 2008 The Super - man - is there another rollercoaster so it doesn't sound like a persona. Joke sounds like superman's been giving out favours round town. 'The placing' doesn't matter. Pamela gives more rides than...... says the same thing. This is why the joke is funny on so many levels, Super Man is a name of a very famous roller coaster on the East coast (anyone who has been to an amusement park more then once would have heard of it) That aside, there are hidden meanings of the joke, which you go into, as an example before the last Super Man articles like this were not uncommon:When the Man of Steel flies into theaters next week, he'll have more to worry about than just Kryptonite. After a cover article in gay and lesbian magazine The Advocate questioned the superhero's sexuality, rumors have been swirling that maybe he's not into Lois Lane and could be more of a Jimmy Olsen fan. So this is another meaning of the joke (and how one may use it with a crowd that may not know super man as a roller coaster ride) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ahmabeliever Posted March 25, 2008 Author Report Share Posted March 25, 2008 Ahhh, I see. OK, if this works locally then all good. That is pretty much the measure of a joke, is it funny. Then, is it appropriate for the circumstances. Funny is always first prority. Have you noticed the carraige at the back of the superman is a bit loose?

I rode Spider Man until my *** was sore. I was screaming in fear but at the same time giggling like a school boy. It was so long I nearly passed out from the constant pounding and violent shaking - up and down, up and down. Good ride over all but not for the squeamish. -modest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good ride over all but not for the squeamish. I think I'll stay away from spidey, it doesn't sound like my kind of ride. :) :hihi: I'm still waiting for the Paris Hilton ride, though I don't think I'll ever ride it <pause> I'm camera shy. Oh yeah, Easter... What reminds me of Easter:-a thin green plastic sheet, run through a shredder -those same fake grass, or whatever they're supposed to represent, thingies' ability to show up in the weirdest places...months later-the sudden emergence of dyes on every aisle at the local supermarket-that Easter song, how does it go again...-free wine and bread, but do shop around folks-bunnies, lots of bunnies, and not even cool ones like Bugs, but these weird varieties that cluck like chickens-all the church bulletins reading "He has risen!"...That's great and all, but is it really appropriate for church? Is this where the catholic priests' got their kid-speak?-chocoholics everywhere Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ahmabeliever Posted March 26, 2008 Author Report Share Posted March 26, 2008 "I'm still waiting for the Paris Hilton ride, though I don't think I'll ever ride it <pause> I'm camera shy." Great line, took me a while to connect to the porn tape, I guess that's why you added the pause... People love jokes they've gotta figure out, but there's that risk.... Are they with me :) Sometimes in the situation you can spell it out, The... hilton.... hotel ride...? Or you can joke with the audience for not getting it. There will be a beginners class in comedy done with colours and shapes right after the show.... :hihi: New Subject, errrmmm, errr Indecision?

freeztar Posted March 26, 2008 Report Share Posted March 26, 2008 People love jokes they've gotta figure out, but there's that risk.... It's a very fine line indeed.The only way to find that line, I suppose, is to test the joke out on as many different people as possible. I often encounter the problem of my jokes being too "deep" or riddle-esque. When you have to explain a joke, the funny is gone, however clever it may have been. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
freeztar Posted March 26, 2008 Report Share Posted March 26, 2008 Indecision is rarer in men, but it does occur...for instance, everytime I stand in front of a selection of beers. Don't ever ask an indecisive person what they want. <pause> Actually, I changed my mind, you should always ask them. Go ahead, ask me what I want. <someone in crowd yells "what do you want?"> Aha! You weren't paying attention! Or were you? I don't know... Have you ever been on a date and asked your date which movie they would like to see? I call this my "weeding out process". If the reply starts with, "Um...I don't know", then you're automatically added to the bottom of the list. To be honest, I'd rather hear "That new Johnny Depp flick" than "Um...IDK".

alexander Posted March 26, 2008 Report Share Posted March 26, 2008 Men and women are different when it comes to answering a question like "wanna have sex?", there is much less indecision in the male population, and it's a different kind of indecision. Women think "Lets see, anything good on tv.... wait, Battlestar Gallactica is on, anything is better then that, but then again, i gotta have sex with him...? Headache...? I used that one for the past 3 weeks, he may catch on... oh, i know, i know, i'll just say that it's that time of the month... but will it stop him..? Fiine, I'll just say 'not tonite honey, i'm tired...'" See in men its much simpler, if a female askes a male if he would be so inclined as to having sex with her.....the choice for a male is either to scream "**** YEAH!!!!!" or without saying just get on with the action! Ideas for a company motto:to the public:Diebold Electronic Voting Machines, hackers around the world are indecisive about which way they want to turn the election. Diebold EVM, we've outsourced everything, even your votes. to candidates:Diebold EVM, script kiddies in china will vote for you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alexander Posted March 27, 2008 Report Share Posted March 27, 2008 In other news the obesity crisis appears to be reversing at an alarming rate....i will pick up the ... part: girls are having sex at younger and younger ages, there is an increase in absentee fathers; drugs are becoming more and more readily available and more and affordable for the young population.... But we shouldn't just concentrate on the good things.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
