Thirty Percent Likely to be Humorous

After a few of the responses to that last silly post, I realized that people sometimes take me far too seriously. So here’s a short list to know when I’m being humorous:

• - The post is tagged with “humor” or “just fun” or both
• - There’s one word in a post that has a long subject line (dead giveaway)
• - There’s a pun somewhere in the content that is either glaringly obvious or super subtle and negates whatever I’m saying
• - If it really seems like I’m being funny rather than serious, apply the 30/50 rule (30 percent likely to be humorous)
• - Ask me

Of course, I’m probably delusional to think I’m ever funny in the first place, but I’ll leave that to your judgment.

How funny are you?

:P

What About Those Handles and Nicks?

DID YOU THINK I MEANT A SHAVING ACCIDENT? I’ve had a few of those, due to certain handles, nicks and other slips.

This evening the discussion is about our online nickname stories. We all have them! My very first online handle/nick was “guitargirl” on the “Q-Link (Quantum Link)” service, offered to Commodore 64 users (some Apples, too, and later Amigas).

I had an external 300 baud Hayes modem. It was the size of a large tissue box.

Over the years I’ve had a bunch of other “Handles and Nicks” - from BBS silliness on to whatever forms of “molly” I could grab.

So what about your handles, and your nicks? Good stories always welcome,
