I just quoted the Joe Pesci 'waddya mean funny' thiing not realising just how hackneyed it was as a routine. I feel terrible. I am off my food.

if it makes you feel any better (it won't), i was right there & i didn't recognise the allusion at all

No, now I only feel like I can make jokes for the culturally ignorant!

― N. (nickdastoor), Monday, 3 February 2003 02:44 (twenty-two years ago)

I can't believe I confused Walker Brothers singles. I feel so stupid.

― Nicole (Nicole), Monday, 3 February 2003 03:00 (twenty-two years ago)

Sadly, i've did that too. It certainly wasn't fun when reality kicked in.

― Jeffrey, Monday, 3 February 2003 03:29 (twenty-two years ago)

You are the most easily embarassed people on earth, evidently.

― Ally (mlescaut), Monday, 3 February 2003 03:43 (twenty-two years ago)

i predicted that there'd be a Giants/Jets Superbowl. that must rate!

― Tad (llamasfur), Monday, 3 February 2003 03:44 (twenty-two years ago)

Ally - I know! This is my problem.

― N. (nickdastoor), Monday, 3 February 2003 04:04 (twenty-two years ago)

haha, best thread ever. I know you shouldn't actually go into that GoodFellas routine and try to help people not do it without making them appear more foolish than they have already made themselves look and I know what the walker bros.'s big hit was-----I feel GREAT.

I agreed when my boyfriend asked me if the music playing in my room was good, but he'd exchanged the Ornette Coleman that had been playing for AMM when I was out of the room, and I hadn't even really noticed, but then I did (I don't really get AMM, but regardless of anything it was stupid and embarrassing of me). THat was yesterday but I've said lots more stupid things since then.

― spectra, Monday, 3 February 2003 04:11 (twenty-two years ago)

Gillanders = OTM. Always try to help people not do it.

― Jeffrey, Monday, 3 February 2003 04:18 (twenty-two years ago)

"But they measure men's in inches!" - we were discussing female clothing sizes and talking about how it's so much easier for men to find clothes that fit.

― Penny Lane (Penny Lane), Monday, 3 February 2003 04:21 (twenty-two years ago)

I think AMM's a big scamm.

― Andrew Thames (Andrew Thames), Monday, 3 February 2003 04:25 (twenty-two years ago)

I think RJG's a big ham.

― N. (nickdastoor), Monday, 3 February 2003 04:32 (twenty-two years ago)

first hopkins, now me. I don't think he even knows what he means.

― RJG (RJG), Monday, 3 February 2003 04:46 (twenty-two years ago)

I ham what I ham.

― N. (nickdastoor), Monday, 3 February 2003 04:52 (twenty-two years ago)

tommy devito=>popeye the sailor man.

and the next step on your road to quote-hell?

― RJG (RJG), Monday, 3 February 2003 04:55 (twenty-two years ago)

haha, I typed that forgetting that you had made an actual pastiche out of a phrase. sorry.

― RJG (RJG), Monday, 3 February 2003 04:56 (twenty-two years ago)

Popeye says "I yam what I yam" you fool!

― N. (nickdastoor), Monday, 3 February 2003 04:57 (twenty-two years ago)

Well, I managed to exclaim "Hey, Russians!" in front of a large crowd of Russians waiting in line to see Russian Ark.

I can't think of the last time I was embarrassed because of something I said...I was embarrassed last night when a drunken, older lady at the bar told me she didn't like my hair. I told her it was "OK" but she told me I was "quite handsome," "but the hair's wrong." maybe I shouldn't have told her it was "OK." maybe that's why I got embarrassed.

― RJG (RJG), Monday, 3 February 2003 05:06 (twenty-two years ago)

Amateurist, that shouldn't be embarrassing. I think it's kind of wonderful.

RJG, yes you really do need to look at your hair (and then do something about it, not just stay staring like some kind of imbecile).

― N. (nickdastoor), Monday, 3 February 2003 05:07 (twenty-two years ago)

Tommy DeVito?

― Mark C (Mark C), Monday, 3 February 2003 11:25 (twenty-two years ago)

If you don't get a joke, it's probably not funny.

-- N. (nickdastoor@mailup.net), Thursday 12:12 AM.

― Lara (Lara), Monday, 3 February 2003 12:22 (twenty-two years ago)

I see. I am now embarrassed at not getting a joke. Possibly, as I am even more embarrassed at not realising which joke I didn't get.

― Mark C (Mark C), Monday, 3 February 2003 13:40 (twenty-two years ago)

Phone goes off on train. Again, and again, and again, without being answered. I mutter under my breath to the woman sitting next to me (to whom I previously had been talking) "Christ, I wish someone would ANSWER THAT FUCKING PHONE." She pipes up with "I don't like to on trains. I really should learn to turn it off". Cue much "Um, that was yours?" embarrassment.

― SittingPretty (sittingpretty), Monday, 3 February 2003 13:52 (twenty-two years ago)

"I love you" - euch!

― Lara (Lara), Monday, 3 February 2003 16:13 (twenty-two years ago)

I said/did something embarrassing this morning. I was rather busy and harrassed at the reception desk when someone turned up to photograph a class. I hastily looked into my CCTV monitor at the classroom - empty! Phoned the boss and told her the class wasn't there, she panicked and started blaming the tutor for moving the class, photographer standing around waiting, tutors being chased etc etc. Then I went into the stationery cupboard for something, and on return the boss was standing in the doorway looking at me beadily, for the tutor and class had mysteriously reappeared in their proper place.

I HAD BEEN LOOKING INTO THE WRONG (SIMILAR-LOOKING BUT NOT IDENTICAL) ROOM ON THE MONITOR. THEY WERE THERE ALL ALONG.

"You can't have sex with free jazz." Well, NO FUCKING SHIT.

― Dan Perry (Dan Perry), Monday, 3 February 2003 16:46 (twenty-two years ago)

I asked a woman (a consultant who works with another male consultant named Al for whom I prepare a set of statements every month. She came to pick them up for him today), "Did you grab Al's package?" I wasn't too embarrassed about saying that, more about the Beavis I pulled when I repeated it to myself under my breath while laughing.

― Bryan (Bryan), Monday, 3 February 2003 22:24 (twenty-two years ago)

I know what the walker bros.'s big hit was-----I feel GREAT.

Bah! I did know what the hit single was, I have no idea why I said "Make It Easy On Yourself". I must have choked under pressure. As the little men in white coats drag me off I will still be insisting I did know the answer.

― Nicole (Nicole), Tuesday, 4 February 2003 00:04 (twenty-two years ago)

See, Nicole was thinking of the Divine Comedy version instead and that got her confused. ;-)

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Tuesday, 4 February 2003 00:11 (twenty-two years ago)

You go to hell, Ned. You go to hell and you die!

― Nicole (Nicole), Tuesday, 4 February 2003 00:13 (twenty-two years ago)

*duly roasts*

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Tuesday, 4 February 2003 00:17 (twenty-two years ago)

I thought Darcy was Heathcliff, I get them confused, they are both Colin Firth yes? Anyway, moderator please delete me.

― jel -- (jel), Wednesday, 5 February 2003 16:17 (twenty-two years ago)

Better still, delete Jane Austen and Emily Bronte and then none of this would have happened.

― Archel (Archel), Wednesday, 5 February 2003 16:26 (twenty-two years ago)

and delete cliff richard.

― RJG (RJG), Wednesday, 5 February 2003 16:32 (twenty-two years ago)

nine months pass...

Sometimes I realise that I wrote only on threads started by the same person. So then I have to go and write on other threads in case they think, 'what, don't you have any interests except me?'. Actually that only happened once.

Once I was walking my dog on the beach and a lady walking a dachshund came up to me and our dogs were playing together. And she said 'Your dog is lovely' so I said 'So's yours, is it a pure bred sausage dog?' because I thought the proper name for dachshund was sausage dog. She actually got really annoyed. By the way sorry if you know me and I already told you this story. It is funny though.

― maryann (maryann), Monday, 10 November 2003 09:33 (twenty-one years ago)

On the 'I Think I'm In Love With My Ex' thread I used the words "Pete speaks the truth" which really belong on the 'Statements That Deny Themselves' thread.

"i still have a crush on you"

― goato mountington (dubplatestyle), Monday, 10 November 2003 14:06 (twenty-one years ago)

I was out with friends recently and another friend saw I had got my hair cut and so she said it was nice, which prompted a brief discussion of it. I then mentioned that it was nice not having to use a hairdryer for at least a few weeks until it gets spikier again. All my male friends found this fucking hilarious!

I mean I still use a hairdryer with short hair sometimes, why wouldn't you?

― Ronan (Ronan), Monday, 10 November 2003 17:26 (twenty-one years ago)

what are you, some kinda fag?

― goato mountington (dubplatestyle), Monday, 10 November 2003 17:28 (twenty-one years ago)

"I had a quesadilla once. I was in bed for two weeks!"

("case of... " -- get it? no? argh.)

― Annouschka (Jody Beth Rosen), Monday, 10 November 2003 17:28 (twenty-one years ago)

Yes, they also couldn't believe I used rollers and wore fur coats, I mean they feel great against my skin!!!!!

― Ronan (Ronan), Monday, 10 November 2003 17:29 (twenty-one years ago)

I really do that joke too well.

― Ronan (Ronan), Monday, 10 November 2003 17:29 (twenty-one years ago)

I've never made that CCTV mistake again... however I did call my friend's new baby the entirely wrong name last weekend. And I mistook a student for her teacher and started having an in-depth conversation before realising that she couldn't even understand English, let alone teach it.

― Archel (Archel), Monday, 10 November 2003 17:38 (twenty-one years ago)

The first words out of my mouth upon meeting a half black girl on a blind date: "You're really tan."

(I was so horrified by my stupidity I couldn't speak again for like 5 minutes. She, of course, was totally unphased.)

― bnw (bnw), Monday, 10 November 2003 17:57 (twenty-one years ago)

I just did this tonight: walked into a deserted 7-11, outside which there was parked a simply gorge jet black Mercedes c55 softtop, looked around, saw only the clerk who I assumed was some rich kid whose parents forced him to get a job, any job, and pointed to the car while saying, "Wow, I should start working at 7-11 too, huh? Heh heh!" He then looked really offended and pointed at the rich guy that was squatted in front of the magazine rack, nearly camouflaged in the corner. FUCK!!!
