Comments on: Mithered with a smelly reality http://www.cackaloo.com/2007/07/17/mithered-with-a-smelly-reality/ "We're all naked underneath" Tue, 07 Sep 2010 20:25:59 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.0.1 By: Daz http://www.cackaloo.com/2007/07/17/mithered-with-a-smelly-reality/#comment-688 Daz Fri, 20 Jul 2007 00:22:19 +0000 http://www.cackaloo.com/2007/07/17/mithered-with-a-smelly-reality/#comment-688 I swore never again to comment on blogs, but then again, one can't just stop being a cokehead, or a heroin addict ... mmm blogging. Anyway, I empathise. I am silently shy in large groups, and only a few people know that I am really a bit crazy underneath. My trademark humour is impersonations, prank phone calls (often recorded for posterity's sake), thinking of funny situations that come out in sentences beginning with: '<i>Hey, imagine if ...</i>', and situational comedy, the kind that's fucking hilarious when it happens, but any effort to recount it is met with '<i>ah but you had to be there ...</i>'. In short, something like the Colm and Jim-Jim Breakfast Show only I'm actually funny (or so I've been told). I can't reproduce that kind of humour in words, and only slightly in voice. And I'm not going to waste my and a bunch of strangers' time if I can't at least make them laugh.

My next blog was to be about the blog side of people. You took the blog right out of my mouth. It's the child in me that blogs. The child has to be let out to play. When the child is dormant, the adult takes over. Hence the long gaps between blogs. The old E.S.P. is working again.

No Mercedes Benz. I must make amendz! Have you any more information on Mrs. McGillicuddy's punt? So, Brian, you're supporting my theory that it's better to have a skinful in order to create intelligent conversation? Nice one matey :) It's not the strongest, the fastest or the best that survive, but those who adapt the quickest, so Darwin said. You're right, so... weirdness is a form of adaptation I s'pose! Yipee! Okay I feel better now.

Better than being normal and boring. If we follow Darwin's hypothesis on evolution, mankind will ONLY evolve through the freaks and weirdos that it throws out sometimes. So hold your head up high you are progressing mankind/womankind/personkind, I hate this PC bollox. Being weird is cool! Better than being normal and boring.

Wierd, yes, but not nuts. I wouldn't go as far as to say your writings are looney. there is nothing wrong with Wierd. I like your writings which is to say I like the way you think. I still owe you a gold star. After our conversation on Emergant Diversity and Thermo-Nuclear Dynamics last Saturday night I realized that you are as intellegent and funny as your built in babysitter, Grandad. Don't beat yourself up. Episode 50 was one of the best and funniest shows we have ever done. The next best one was lost to the ages. Just remember H.S. Thompsons famous quote. "When the going gets wierd. The wierd turn pro." Saying you’re nuts is a bit harsh. Wierd, yes, but not nuts.

I think you were just stage struck we put you on the spot. I can talk the leg off a chair (and underwater). Although you did lose me with the reference to rubber sheep . . that's been bothering me for a few days now although the concept is mildly amusing - I can't help thinking about New Zealanders and the possibility of a new sport emerging. And it's time to practice: "Mrs McGillicuddy has a rough cut punt" Hahahahaha. I think you were just stage struck we put you on the spot. I can talk the leg off a chair (and underwater).

And, there is nothing wrong with that. :-) I have a similar alter-ego. I'm shy and sublime most of the time, but after a pint or two, I'm a smooth talker. So, did anyone buy you a Mercedes Benz? :-) You are not weird, just different. And, there is nothing wrong with that. :-)
