What would you do if there were no such thing as hypothetical situations?

Also:
If you try to fail and succeed, which have you done?

On a more serious note, saying that "Everything I say is a lie" is NOT actually a paradox. Any ideas why not?

.What would you do if there were no such thing as hypothetical situations?

We talking a hypothetical hypothetical or a real hypothetical here?

That is my favorite joke of all time.  It's not in the punchline (although what a punchline!), it's in the telling. 

And when I find a new victi... er, tellee, those that have heard the joke tell them, "No!  No!  You DON'T want to hear this joke!"  Which of course, makes them want to hear it all the more. 

BWA HA HA HA!

Oh, I rather enjoyed that. It's just the kind of joke I would tell.

I have a good one, along those same lines.
For brevity's sake, I'll leave out pages and pages of "filler"

One day, in a grocery store near you, there happened to be an unusual box of Rice Krispies. Within this special box happened to be two very special Rice Krispies, a male and a female. Noone is certain as to how these two Rice Krispies came to be alive, let alone had gender identities, yet, despite conventional knowledge, they did indeed live.
As we all know, sitting in a box amongst other Rice Krispies invites all manner of odd behaviors, but these two Rice Krispies decided that they would pass the time by some procreation. Even more oddly, it turned out that the gestation period of a Rice Krispie wasn't very long at all. About 3 minutes. And the size of the litter was rather large, too. And they grew so quickly!

Well, it wasn't any time at all when, despite all the "settling" from the shipping and handling that the box of Rice Krispies became very cramped. Inevitably, the Krispies broke the seal on the inner bag, and finally the box as well.

After a timely cleanup, the Krispies were all carried to a "damaged" grocery cart in the back of the store, all but forgotten by the store's personnel.

Later that evening, a closing manager discovered this Rice Krispy mess and got a stocker to clean them up and put them in the trash.
As the evening progressed, the Rice Krispies and all of their offspring learning this behavior from their parents, all of them continued to multiply. (Like rabbits, not math students)
The next morning, the entire grocery store was filled, floor to ceiling, wall to wall, with Rice Krispies. The opening manager didn't know what to do, but figured it had to be some kind of "Punked" episode or a Candid Camera kind of thing. He unlocked the door, and all the Rice Krispies spewed out of the opened door and smothered the manager, Rick Krispies everywhere! The poor manager tried to fight his way through, but Rice Krispies were overwhelming him! Some found their way into his nose and mouth, making it difficult for him to breathe. Inevitably, the manager choked and blacked out and then died, due to a lack of oxygen. The Rice Krispies didn't really notice the manager, they were just doing what Rice Krispies did best, multiplying.

Soon, other store personnel were arriving to find the mess. Police were called. It was deduced that these Rice Krispies were like a swarm of killer bees, acting as one. One of the officers suggested that they flood the store with milk, which would make the Rice Krispies soggy, and hopefully, render them inert.

(Okay - so, if you're telling this to someone, you just keep making things up. As...this joke...


Wait for it...








Wait

it!



It never ends, it's a "cereal"!

I don't know what the rest of you are reading, to take this as some kind of cynicism or troll post. What I got from it was more like, "I know it's hard to be patient, but these things take time. Business moves slowly, so don't focus on August as being any kind of solid deadline; it's more like a hopeful estimate. If we hear *sudden* news it could likely be bad, so let's take a breath and wait while the good news takes its time getting here."

I just wanted you to know that not everyone took it the way that some seemed to, Mack. From the way I read it at least, I agree with you.


Edit: It seems that the post people were talking about was a different one which got removed, so now it just *looks* like they were talking about Mack's. Well alrighty then, good stuff. Carry on! ;D

Thanks for the support. Yeah, someone posted right after me about how they didn't believe it and weren't going to play it again even if it was true. We'll probably see them on launch day.

Don't you try to troll us further with more of your reasonable comments  :D

Someone has definitely declared o-pun season on bad wordplay.

Alright you kids!  Stop that right now!


Don't MAKE me take this thread to Xanth & pun-ish you all!

On a side note, my wife is now excited to try this game when it comes back. Thank you Icon! 😈

In regards to game play in SWTOR...I have been playing as subscriber since almost 2 weeks prior to launch and I still find it fun.  Yeah there are some issue with how each class is portrayed. But the story arcs are unique enough to keep me playing.  There ideas character individuality is sort of off IMO...little things like who can use what class of weapons is abit silly.  And the grousing about Lightsabers being nothing more that Light bats is valid...but they had to keep the scale in line with other things.  If a lightsaber could slice through anything but a cortosis weaved armor or another Saber..there would be little want to play any other class....so I allow that as a given. 

I am unhappy with the rehashing of skill trees...which makes me irritated like the Nerfs COH did for the Arena..which they promised they would not...and the Enhancer debacle.  (This was usually brought on by the PVP types.  LOTRO had it too with the Hunter Mafia whining that Runekeepers stole their niche...same with the Guardians grousing that Wardens could tank better and thus stealing their role)  I can see patching to fix bugs...but stop the nerfing....as going to a least common denominator gives you only downward with which to make further corrections.

True the side quests are duplicated for all classes..but that is from the way they modeled the game's voice interactions.  It would be tough..and not cheap...to make the 10Kish quests one has in say LOTRO...for SWTOR.  It is the same problem with adding new content...voiced interactions would have to be created..or modified and that costs alot of cash.

The lack of new content is mainly due to the voice interactions with the game NPCs,  It is not easy to try to add something new...except at the end...because it requires continuity with the existing voice chat.   The calls for new classes have been sort of ignored because of the same issue with voicing the interactions.  Many of us wished they made the Smuggler and Bounty Hunter Neutral classes and replaced them with an Imperial Soldier & Republic SIS agent..but again it would require a major overhaul.  That was the unexpected trap they fell into when it came to new content.

I am posting this to address some other comments I have seen on here about SWTOR.  Ofcourse with the 2.9 update rolling in...my tune may change. 

Now as for COH....if that were to indeed return it would again become my game of majority...with LOTRO and SWTOR would still be played.  I would have ZERO issue with starting anew...other than some asshat stealing toon names of characters I have and would want to remake.  I would play with the final set up...and buy the few missing sets just to have access to them.  So by all means Ironwolf...please PLEASE keep up your efforts.

                                                           Popeye, the Sage

One day a traveling salesman was making his way through the back country and and stopped at a farm  to get a drink at the local well.
While lowering the pail he happened to glance over at a nearby pigpen and saw something amazing.

Dropping the pail, he ran over to the pen, looked hard, and sure enough, there was a rather large, healthy looking pig with a wooden leg!

Gaping in amazement at the sight, the salesman saw a farmer coming up to him.  He turned to face the farmer and with a wondering tone in his voice, asked "good sir, is that a wooden leg on that pig?"

"A-yup", replied the farmer.

"But, but.." stammered the stunned salesman, "why would a pig have a wooden leg?"

The farmer leaned back against the wooden rails of the pen, settled in comfortably, and said "Well, you see, one day I was out in the south forty, plowing the fields, when my durn tractor plum overturned and ran over me.  I was darn near cut in half, I was.  I was sure I was a goner, a-yup, when gosh darnit if that pig there didn't come flying out of that there pen, race over to where I was lying, patched me up good as new, rightened the tractor, hopped on top of it, and finished plowing the fields."

"That's amazing" said the salesman.  "But what about the leg?"

"Well", the farmer said, "a little while later the house caught on fire and my wife was trapped inside. She was a goner, no doubt about it, when sure enough that there pig came racing out of his pen again, charged into the house, pulled my wife to safety, beat out the flames on her dress, went back into the house and put out the fire, and then cooked us the best danged meal we had that year."

"But, the leg..." whimpered the salesman, "what about the leg?"

"Oh, that", chuckled the farmer, " the most doggone thing you ever did see, shortly after the fire, my little boy, he came out to play, and the poor lad did fall into the very same well right behind you. Sad, very sad, my little boy, he was a goner for sure, right enough, nothing that could be done for him.  Except, once again that ever lovin' pig came tearing out of his pen, dove into the well, pulled my boy up and squeezed the water out of him, and gave him mouth to mouth until he recovered, set him on his feet, and proceeded to give him swimming lessons!"

By now, the salesman had had enough.  He grabbed the farmer by his lapels, hosted him to his feet, and snarled in his face,"what about the wooden leg?"

Baffled, the farmer looked up into the salesman's face, and said " look here, young fella, a pig that good, well, you just don't eat him all at once."

Those are some good jokes I have been reading keep them up guys :D.

[GenericHero05]

One day, a man from the Czech Republic came to visit his friend in New York.

When asked what he wanted to see, the visitor replied, "I would like to see one of the zoos in America."

To his delight, the New Yorker took him to the Bronx Zoo. They were touring the zoo, and standing in front of the gorilla cage, when one of the gorillas busted out of the cage and swallowed the Czech whole.

Shocked, his friend from New York quickly called over the zoo keeper. He quickly explained the situation and the zoo keeper immediately took steps to save the man's friend. The zoo keeper got an axe and asked the man, "OK, which gorilla did it? Was it the male or the female?" The New Yorker pointed out the female as the culprit. Quickly, the zoo keeper split the female gorilla open and found nothing of the Czech.

He looked at the man from New York, who shrugged and said, "Guess the Czech is in the male."

All this reminds me of one of my organic chemistry professors in college.  He used to make awful puns during his lectures to see if everyone was awake.  His son was in my class and it annoyed the hell out of him.  My favorite was when he went to the board and drew benzene structures.  "Para-benzene!  Ortho-benzene! *stops to draw odd lines in center*  Mercedes benzene!"

My other "go to" bad pun joke:

A church's bell ringer passed away. So they posted the position and a man came in with no arms wanting the job. The clergy weren't sure he could do it, but he convinced them to let him try it.

They climbed the bell tower and the guy ran toward the bell and hit it with his head. They gave him the job.

The next day he went to ring the bell, tripped, bounced off the bell and fell to the sidewalk below. Two guys were walking past.

One asked, "Do you know this guy?"

The second guy responded, "No, but his face rings a bell."

The next day, the dead bell ringer's twin brother comes in for the again vacant bell ringer position. He also has no arms. They lead him up to the bell tower, he runs at the bell, trips and falls to the sidewalk below.

The same two guys walk by.

The first asks, "Do you know him?"

The second guy responds, "No, but he's a dead ringer for the guy we saw yesterday."
