Good to have you back Werrf. Now there might be something funny to read here, unlike when Poker and Mange were on their own. Very nice E-mails.

Hi, Poker

It's simply a matter of personal taste. I happen to find Werrf's brand of humor more to my taste, whereas yours is a little to heavy handed. But then again, I don't like much of what they call comedy on TV either. Most of then are grounds for an instant channel change. My personal favorite comedies are "Body of Proof" and the three "CSI" series. Like I said, different tastes in humor.

That, of course, is a true statement. He does occasionally come up with a true belly laugher. Sometime intended, sometimes not. But if I really didn't like the thread, I wouldn't bother to read it. :lol: :lol:

Warning Shadow of Freedom spoiler joke

Chief, "Thank you and now for our new song, Go Mad Mike, Hit it mange."
Purple treecat slippers, old academy sweats, and tenth fleet-
Go Mad Mike.

Like a hot knife through butter she’s gone through frontier fleet-
Go Mad Mike.

Sent her cozen the queen a note she’s venting her spleen-
Go Mad Mike.

On her way to Mesa what we got to say it’s sweet-
Go Mad Mike.

Chief, "Good night Grayson."

Chief, "Hi all,

The thread Fruit Salad has discussion of Honor's medals, and asks why she did not get the good conduct medal, a joke in it's self. A muzzle-loding club I know of had a plaque made up for when one did something stupid on the firing line, like shoot a ramrod. It consisted of a toilet seat with stuffed representation of a horse's rear end called 'The Horse's Ass Award.'"

Mange, <Perhaps you two-legs can design such a medal for posters here? You would surely get it, Chief.>

What do you get if you cross a celery-eating duck with a treecat?

A duck-filled fattypuss.

Why did Microsoft go out of business in the Honorverse?

Warships don't have Windows.

Why did Apple go out of business in the Honorverse?

There's only room for one Mac.

They merged with Apple and started providing Stewards to the RMN.
