I've got two, namely

That Doom feature in Wax Poetics was interesting. He was all like, "I'm just a regular guy

which I thought was too boring to post, and

GOD CUTTY WHY DON'T YOU QUIT

which was supposed to be a funny post on the lose weight thread, but I thought it might be interpreted as serious.

I was gonna post on the '"500 Days of Summer" thread that I thought it would make a good back story for Cobra Commander, but I didn't feel like searching for the thread, coz what if someone already made the comment? I'd have to do 'edit' 'find' 'cobra', and display all posts. So, I posted it on facebook anyway.

I don't know? It's got a woman in the title, but it's two years old and the reads are on-site reads. It doesn't make sense. The simpsons porn one only partly makes sense, but a lot of those reads are site reads too. Wait, I get that one, because it persists because of the most read threads page working in concert with google hits. But the other one with the girl I just don't get, unless it's a lesser version of the same phenomenon.

Fact: www.dhmo.org is a website dedicated to that stupid joke your chemistry teacher makes in high school about dihydrogen monoxide (H2O) being the most abundant, potentially dangerous chemical in the world.

Fact: according to double top-secret web analytics I saw for epa.g0v today, the number two referrer to EPA's website in the past 3 months was www.dhmo.org, and it's been in the top 5 for the past year.

My first thought was "wouldn't it be funny if NASA had an organisation for female rocket pioneers called Ladies Who Launch". But the BBC came up with that pun back in 2019, besides which it sounds naff:
https://www.sciencefocus.com/space/ladies-who-launch-the-women-behind-the-apollo-program

My second thought? "There should be a film called Shadout Mapes on a Plane. The trailer would have Samuel L Jackson saying 'I've had it with Shadout Mapes on this plane!'"

But I decided against fleshing out both of those concepts. Firstly because there's no-where to go. And the second idea raises far too many questions. Shouldn't it be Shadout Mapes on an Ornithopter? But that sounds clumsy. Does the Dune universe have conventional aerofoils? Do the people of Dune call airliners 'planes', or something else? How can you hide in an ornithopter? They're tiny.

And thirdly because I'm no good at spontaneous one-liners. I can't do shortform humour. God promised me that when Ronnie Corbett died, I would be his heir. I would have the world of lengthy, dull, sub-Alan Bennett comedy monologues all to myself.

But little did I know that it was not God to whom I sold my soul. It was not God. The trickster lied.
