Do you ever play a game and give what you think is a really great answer or make a joke and you think it's really funny but no one else does? I was playing this game where you get an acronym and have to make a phrase out of it. I come up with some pretty good ones.
Like ICFF. Catagory Parties.
I put "I crave finger food". But the winning one was "Intoxicated characters; fist fight!"
I don't get it. I got one vote. That's it. WTF.
Or IJW. Catagory General
I put "I juggle watermelons".
The winning one was "I'm just worried" Isn't mine just as good or better than that one???
Do I just have a totally different brain than everyone else?
I'm with you, bella... I like your's better. "I crave finger foods" is good.
Or how about: LCMTS Category Politics
I put:
Lying congressmen make terrible senators
Winning one:
Labor continues; masquerades to SDP
WTF??
Bella, I consider myself to be quite normal, but I find that there are not many of us about. That's why we all end up on A2K.
It's the other 95% of the population that somehow miss the mark.
The trouble is, the 95% all seem to find straight humour quite funny, that's why they all vote for each other.
Sometimes I can make a wisecrack, and the room is silent, apart from one person in the corner who is laughing out loud. I try to make a beeline for that person, before they take him/her back to the hospital.
I would have voted for you.
Don't worry, you just stay here with us normal folk.
Weirdos.....
So many weirdos out there......
Good thing I can come here and hang out with normal people.
I'm glad I'm not alone in being surrounded by weird people!
I mean, where the hell do they all come from anyway?
There is a test for this you know... did you ever try this one:
Quote:This is strange...can you figure it out?
Are you in the 2% or 98% of the population?
Follow the instructions! NO PEEKING AHEAD!
* Do the following exercise, guaranteed to raise an eyebrow.
* There's no trick or surprise.
* Just follow these instructions, and answer the questions one at a time as quickly as you can!
* Again, as quickly as you can but don't advance until you've done each of them ... really.
* Now, scroll down (but not too fast, you might miss something).
Think of a number from 1 to 10
Multiply that number by 9
If the number is a 2-digit number, add the digits together
Now subtract 5
Determine which letter in the alphabet corresponds to the number you ended up with
(example: 1=a, 2=b, 3=c,etc.)
Think of a country that starts with that letter
Remember the last letter of the name of that country
Think of the name of an animal that starts with that letter
Remember the last letter in the name of that animal
Think of the name of a fruit that starts with that letter
Are you thinking of a Kangaroo in Denmark eating an Orange?
If not, you're among the 2% of the population whose minds are different enough to think of something else. 98% of people will answer with kangaroos in Denmark when given this exercise.
I was part of the 2%.
Although I did get Denmark... I think tha tis the only answer for that part.
Dungary.
Yak
Kiwi.
I don't think that Yak is a real word, though. I just made that up.
I think you're deeply disturbed Bella.... and probably a sexual deviant. We should party.
I've done that before and can't remember the results.
I got Koala in Denmark eating an apple.
(The number stuff is frippery, will always get you 4/ D.)
Bella you have at least one person (and from what I can see some others) think like you - I think your answers were much better than the winning ones. The first winning one is pretty good, however, I think your's just flows better. The first one you have to think too much about how it fits together and you almost have to force the fit, whereas your statement flows nicely and makes sense.
The second winner is just boring - your's is much more creative.
But that may not necessarily be a compliment to you - me thinking like you - I tend to think much differently than others and often times people just don't get me; especially my odd sense of humor. Perhaps we people that think outside the norm are just much more advanced than others.

that is what I got too, soz. and yep... you always end up with 4/D for a country.
Ok here's on.
MDGHS Catagory: General
I put: My dog gets hot spots.
Winning one: Mom's drained; gotta have sleep.
Do they not know what hot spots are??? Duh.
I'll admit, the winning one wasn't bad...but mine was better.
I guess I'm in the 98%, but I'd rather be in the 2% and hang out with you guys
Oh no! Are there going to be any people left around here in the 98% that I can party with?
(embarrassingly normal)
I find that my problem lies with my compulsion to make quick reply jokes.
If I see or hear something, a flashing light comes on in the brain and before I know it, I've tried to make a witty response.
My most surprising one was at a meeting of the London Probation Service, and loads of other organisations who had come in to talk to us about what they could offer to form partnerships in the community.
One man was from the Wildlife Trust, and he had an idea that we should supply some of our Community Service offenders to him, so that they could be used to restore and repair country footpaths and do general conservation work.
There were about two hundred people there in a bloody great hall, most of whom were senior ranking police, probation and judiciary.
This man stood up on the stage, and started his talk by asking a question. It was obviously going to be something about conservation, and turned out to be a specific question about a certain method of establishing a hedgerow.
My response was immediate. As soon as he had finished his question, I answered it, and I still cringe to this day.
HIM: "Good morning everyone, I will start my talk with a question.....does anyone know what a pleacher is?"
Me(shouts) "Yes, it's a Chinese Vicar!"
I apologised straight away.
sozobe I get a similar answer - A Koala Bear (Used bear as part of the name) in Denmark eating a raspberry.
