tonight i picked
natasha
up from work and swung over to starseeds cafe for a little late-night
grub and gab. i finally met my fellow web god
big gay ben of kaosboy fame tonight. i met james, of smile fame too. everybody around the table had a
website:
evan
johnny
ben
kelly
james
cristina
and
natasha.
everyone agreed that it was a great time and that we ought to do it again real soon. i'm glad i get along well with natasha's friends. if i didn't that would suck. it's rare that i meet other people that can make me laugh. really rare.
the night's perpetual rolling jokes got me thinking about the nature of jokes. i think that jokes should can be categorized like genus and species in biology. here is a while family of jokes that can be classified as "the negation of a backhanded compliment followed by an insult.
husband: you're so pretty when i'm drunk honey
wife: ?!?!?!?!?!?!
husband: just kidding
wife: ...
husband: you're ugly all the time
