That didn't make me laugh even a little.

Nope, no lols for me.

It has made me realise that I should seperate my buddy list into 'homosexuals' and 'enemies'. (102 enemies!? Wow)

3/10 for the man with no nose, zero for the others.

― Teh HoBB (the pirate king), Wednesday, 28 September 2005 19:58 (twenty years ago)

Sorry. Nothing yet. I've sat here trying to figure out from what state that license plate in the turkey photo was issued, but that was about it.

I give this one a 1.5/10. For all the wrong reasons.

I get Nixon, Rich as himself, Jack Nicholson, Jack Benny, and George Burns, but I don't recognize the first two. The second from the left could be Rumsfeld, but that's probably giving Rich too much credit.

This says 'Driver! They're waiting for you at home.' Which is not very funny either. Except the kid's frickin' ugly.

― scotstvo (scotstvo), Wednesday, 28 September 2005 22:57 (twenty years ago)

The fact that the one on the right looks a kinda bit sort of like Cybil Shepherd is moderately funny, I suppose.

He's laughing out loud, which kinda turns this question on its head, doesn't it?

Pretty much about 2.5/10, mostly because I remember reading (and laughing) about the way they treated him before he was kicked out. Didn't he take them to court over it?

― Matt #2 (Matt #2), Wednesday, 28 September 2005 23:16 (twenty years ago)

I still think the boxer looking guy with the two awards upthread is at least a 7/10.

Oh, fuck you and your stupid scandinavian spelling then. It's a bloke who looks stupid with a silvery wardrobe-malfunction-cover on his nipples. It wasn't very funny.

― ailsa (ailsa), Wednesday, 28 September 2005 23:21 (twenty years ago)

A whopping 7/10 from me, mainly because I can't imagine anybody saying lol IRL either. (Coming from the man who shamelessly used grebt at a Glasgow FAP)

― not-goodwin (not-goodwin), Thursday, 29 September 2005 11:10 (twenty years ago)

:-) Although her 'What?? Why??' should have been 'OMG!! WTF??', obviously.

― Gerard (Gerard), Thursday, 29 September 2005 11:14 (twenty years ago)

I wouldn't at all mind someone saying 'lol' in real life - much better than online, surely? Sadly I have yet to hear anyone pronounce 'OMG' or 'WTF'.

― Martin Skidmore (Martin Skidmore), Thursday, 29 September 2005 11:20 (twenty years ago)

Somebody once wrote to the Guardian seriously complaining about the fact that people say "double U double U double U" when reading out web addresses and pointing out that it would be much more effcient to say "world wide web" as it contains six fewer syllables.

Not a problem with OMG, but vaugely relevant to the WTF issue.

― Hello Sunshine (Hello Sunshine), Thursday, 29 September 2005 11:28 (twenty years ago)

I remember that letter! "What sort of abbreviation takes longer to say than the original?" "One designed to be written," was the obvious answer.
