RE: It's A Long Story: Now Imagine How Shitty This Post Would Be If That Was All I Wrote For A Title

in #funny6 years ago

The dog clearly was a vegetarian. Dog will eat/lick anything to walk past a freshly flattened cloan and not give him a lick would be unheard of.

On the other hand if the dog was an alcoholic trying to forget the pain of everyone always asking him the same question but due to his lack of vocal chords he would forever be unable to answer and tell everyone that indeed he was the good boy they'd been looking for.

Sort:  

I feel like I want to write a story with you. But the entire book is asides, and explanations of things with the main plot only progressing at a rate of one line per chapter. When read without the qualifiers and back stories the whole thing just ends up reading like the cat in the hat.

I was actually thinking of opening up that Bohemian Grove joke. I'm wondering if people would be able to follow the same format where it starts out bland, simple, then just takes a hard turn and gets dirtier and dirtier until even the Aristocrats joke sounds soft in comparison. Your thoughts?

The good thing is if anyone gets upset they can just stop reading and it gives some fore warning that things only go downhill.

I think it'd be fun

It would be fun but the thought of it makes me a bit nervous now.

Does my brand of combining strange art with rambling nonsensical bullshit in a humorous fashion fit in to this comedyopenmic tag thing? Not everything I do is a long drawn out joke story.

You certainly don't need to use the tag on everything. just the funny things that you think are worthy.

No, scratch that, cos you're an artist and nothing is every good enough. so instead...

You certainly don't need to use the tag on everything. just the funny things that you think I will classify as worthy.

Even if it's just one post per week, having someone of your calibre and depth be a member of the community, I think will help comedyopenmic grow as a collaborative, supportive, community, a gathering place for talented funny people and weirdos too.

I don't know if something is funny until I get a response, so it's hard to guess, hard to pick and choose.

My intention here was to do a post full of corny one liners, plus act somewhat foolish and naive. Humor has many forms. I try to use all of them. Nearly everything I do has some form of humor in it, but if I use the tag, then I'll just become the haejin of your trending page. Now maybe you can see why, early on, right off the bat, I decided I wouldn't enter and stated how this is a good opportunity for others to get some exposure.

I understand that philosophy, and I believe it along with your curation has helped grow the contest to where it is now.

We certainly don't want a trending page with 10 of your posts, I actually really enjoy how much our trending page changes from day to day.

In all honesty I'll leave the decision in your hands. Even if you put in the tag after you post, once you're satisfied it is funny. But limit it to 1 or two posts per week. Because while the contest is growing we also want to give an opportunity for the community to grow now, and involve people who aren't interested in winning an award but just participating in the fun.

Yes it will make it slightly more difficult to judge entries but it will help the community grow and help people see us as more than just a contest.
