You know when you read something that either really makes you chuckle or just melts your heart?

My son (3) received an invite to a birthday party the other day and there was a hand written note scratched into the corner of the card, it said:

'If possible, please come dressed as a Pixie!'

Heh heh heh hah hahahh how cuuuuute!!! :D

So what tickles you lot?

No depraved answers please Bel, Shef, e-hero, KFC, Lifino and... Sammie. ;)

A couple of weeks ago I got an invitation to a birthday party from a friend of mine. Her dad made the invitation and thought it was cool to write it in english. One of the things he wrote was 'get your corpse overhere'. I had some fun with that.

Juzzza, me giving depraved answers, how could you possibly suggest such a thing:(

Seriously, what tickles me?

Ermmm....a feather on my body?:D

No, seriously....actually, I received a card a few years back when I was 16 showing a picture of a gorilla hanging on a branch and the slogan said ....."You make a monkey of yourself if you don't get invited for the mother of all parties". It was a school "prom" party which every pupil received from the prefects at the end of the school year.

I didn't think that was funny, I just mentioning it because that thread just reminded me of it! How odd those years were!

Hey! how'd I make that list?

You know, speaking of tickling, that Smurfette offer still stands. She like to tickle some times, just for effect.

Oh, now I see why I'm in the list.


I'm a bit of a softy. T.V. commercials can get me!

I love watching my wife take that first drink from a fresh can of Coke. She takes a drink, chugs it back as fast as possible, crunches up her face, her eyes get all wrinkely, her free hand opens wide and tenses up and she waves it back and forth real quick... Same ritual every time, you'd think she was drinking Scotch!

When we first met I couldn't understand how she could water down her Coke. When we first moved in together I would watch as she came home from work, reach in the fridge and pull out a fresh can, open it, put it back in the fridge and remove an open can that had been sitting there since yesterday! I still don't understand it, but there's just these little things you learn to accept...

Yes, I'm depraved, excellent... *wonders why though*


Well, as a serious answer to this question, what tickles me the most is reading all of the very wacky and off beat discussions on this forum. Definately, everyday I find myself laughing at its zaniness, and I enjoy getting killed every few days too. Sure sets me right.

I'll agree with you there KfC. I've lived a signifacant percentage within one online forum or another for the past three years. I only found SFFworld a few months ago, but it quickly became my primary forum. I still frequent the rest, but only to keep up on current events... Here I find the best mix of adult conversation, humor, Ogg's stench, and mature individuals...


On the other hand I used to be very active at www.i-club.com - a forum based on the model of car I drive. A year ago it was a great group, we had about 3000 members, and probably 2200 regularly active people... Then it became a popular hangout for over 18000 and the atmosphere changed dramaticaly. Now it's good for motorsport conversations, and VERY fast and accurate answers to the random questions that come up in daily living(an Off Topic forum with about 1500 people checking hourly tends to have the knowledge to answer stuff like, "How do they make paper anyway?" "Who is the president of Uzbeckistan, and how should I spell it?" "How many knuckles in a dogs foot?")

Sorry, I'm rambling on again... pulls yard stick from closet(that's a meter stick to ya'll cross the pond) slaps wrist...

Was wondering that meself. :confused:

Gotta agree with KFC.. um, KC. Every morning at work I log on to this boards and go through each forum. But the thing is, I can't wait until I get to the GD forum and laugh myself silly on what's been happening here.

Which is why I sometimes find myself sad for missing most of it with a different time zone... :(
