Quandaries

I like April Fool's Day just fine.

But not on the internet. Not when there's about to be uninvolved-third-party drama in bad_rpers_suck over a post I pegged as a joke, and not when there's no follow-through as in the D&D main page on Wizards.com.

Though the comic swap thing is fairly funny.

And now I have to go buy the rights. Hey, if my brain is going to play music at me, you're all going to suffer too.

Okay, THIS is my unpopular opinion.

Words of the day: OH FOR GOD'S SAKE I FUCKING HATE THIS STUPID "HOLIDAY" FOR MORONS, REALLY, NOW FUCKING STOP.

If your "joke" goes on for four posts about chicken fucking and involves internet flouncing, you're taking it too far.
If your "joke" implies that everyone in a specific place is going to die and by the way srs bzns, you're taking it too far.
If your "joke" requires everyone to believe that LJ is once again up to its asshatted tricks, you're taking it too far.

The short version: If your joke is at all plausible, even with ten seconds of thought, YOU ARE DOING IT THE FUCK WRONG.

If your joke is relatively-immediately-obvious as a joke, and is commendable as such, YOU ROCK. Otherwise, SHUT UP.

And now, no joke: today I had a twenty minute conversation about whether zombies (to be boiled and de-esterised or something) would make an acceptable biodiesel, and if they would then be a renewable or non-renewable resource. Conclusions were that we need a zombie to practise on, that they would be a renewable resource in the sense that cattle are, and that you could, possibly, use the waste meat to heat your home, but it would depend on stench factor. References to things I will not even go into on LJ were made (and no, they did not involve children or sex, but they did involve a lot of you knowing that I am not actually advocating what I was referring to, which is pretty hard to do online).
