BF has lost it's wit
Iin the last two days I've made Chopper Reid, MontyPython, and Lee Trevino references (not even God can hit a one iron) all on deaf ears.
Admittedly, none of them have been God's gift to humor. But nobody even tried to riff on them and do better, or ridicule me regarding my weak attempts at humor.
WTF? Have we lost all sense of humor, and irreverence on BF?

Perhaps, but back in the day when we had R600DuraAce, BF was something to be regarded.

Now you have this banality to look forward to every morning with your cup of generic coffee and at night time to relax and put you in a good mood for sweet dreams:

BTW, R600DuraAce is now a photographer at a lot of the local NYC races. I don't think he really "races" any longer, however.

The movie "Bad News Bears" came out in 1976. It occurred to me last week that the title is a pun. So it can take me up to 35 years to get a pun. So maybe the humor takes a while to soal through. And in, maybe 2046, Pcad'll be sitting in the hursing home, suddenly straighten up in his wheelchair and say- "Gosh! That was a Monty Ptyhon referenece. NOW I get it!"
(BTW, I have no clue who Chopper Reid is, and have no interest in Lee Trevino)

"What good would it do - it doesn't come if I call it."
See? There's a Joke right there! In fact, it's a Garfield joke, so maybe that's not Monty Python, but it's something.

I've been trying to spread my lame-a** sarcasm all over the BF for years, the usual outcome is a complete thread kill. I kind of took it personally until I realized what power I had. Any thread I didn't like, post, dead. Just like an assassin. Then, like Buddha, I came to the realization that you all were just avatars of Watson on Jeopardy.
