Are You Weird?

Question:

Let me give you an example. I don’t know if this is my weird sense of humor or not but sometimes, I just come out with the weirdest comments. I think they are funny but others miss them completely or don’t see the humor in them. For example on a ADD message board someone asked "What is your favorite film and why?" Now I can’t plead ignorance, that I didn’t know what was being asked or that I didn’t ‘get it’ as is some times the case but I just couldn’t resist a weird ‘off the wall’ response. My answer: Saran Wrap because it clings to you. The other thing is that often in a discussion, I can’t pay attention so my only response HAS to be something ‘off the wall’ or weird. I think OV has mentioned something similar. Do you have this type of problem? – Vic If you have children, please teach them these simple math tricks from my web page. http://www.angelfire.com/me/marmalade/mathtips.html

1) Concerning Dr. Livingstone …           http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Duns_Scotus 2) Here is the ‘joke’ <sigh            Antiwar Slogan: NO MORE HIROSHIMA Anti-Japanese Slogan: NO MORE HIROSHIMA Two contrasting viewpoints; each with their own ‘assumed’ contextual meaning. Let’s suppose that there is a public demonstration …    skin head natzis  versus peacenicks. Both are out there protesting ‘peacefully’ ( Yeah, it’s a fantasy :- )   Both sides are carrying placards …   Both sides have placards which say:  NO MORE HIROSHIMA      … that is why I consider this joke to be hillarious.  O.K. ?

How true . HIROSHIMA was gone in a second. Was there and was no more.

Two spins  ( a.k.a. interpretations, inferences ) amongst many … ‘  AND THE WAR ENDED. ‘ 1) hopefully … 2) Do ya’ like rilly, rilly, " think so", eh?  I’m sincere. Although others don’t immediately come to mind; there are probably many more ways of canting what you have asserted.    …  each is worth a circumspectual and discursive visit. Then again, the ‘Phoenix metaphor’ is fascinating because the ‘Description of the Phoenix’ stands at the crux of so very many, different types of situations. It’s a very, very complex, IMO.

I’m with Ann on this.  Being funny, witty, or a punster is not a bug…. it’s a feature! Priscilla, newbie ADDer

Response:

Me? Weird? Ah, well…I much prefer to think of myself as… Unique, like everyone else Let me give you an example. I don’t know if this is my weird sense of humor or not but sometimes, I just come out with the weirdest comments. I think they are funny but others miss them completely or don’t see the humor in them. For example on a ADD message board someone asked "What is your favorite film and why?"

My answer: Saran Wrap because it clings to you.

IMO, that’s very clever but also the type of off-the-wall and out-of-the-box response I’ve often seen in this group. Personally, I enjoy that kind of humorous word play, and if I see a witty similar response from someone else, I think, "Oh, I wish I would of thought of that!" The funny stuff posted here is one of the reasons I’ve kept coming back, although, I must say it hasn’t been as funny here recently as in the past…unless you find our trolls funny. (OK. Trolls might be unintentionally humorous, but they’re seldom cleverly so.) Nancy, Unique, like everyone else

Me neither.  But you can’t expect everyone to find your jokes funny, either.

Nope…just comes from seeing the world from different angles than the general population….not that it is "weird" per se…I like to think of it as unique or entertaining <g <BG  I would have probably said Fuji rather than Kodak….because it yield better prints <rim shot  Then again, I tend to do the same, because I enjoy the "off the wall"…I like looking at the world from slightly off kilter angles because that is my first gut response…it is harder to look at the world from the same, "boring" angle as everyone else…but that is what happens when one’s ADHHHD brain is constantly making all kinds of connections at the same time… — Buny " Nobody realizes that some people expend tremendous energy merely to be normal." ~ Albert Camus

Hehehe…this is a very interesting thread. I’ve always wondered (briefly, then moved on… why I had a somewhat twisted sense of humor and came up with the oddest associations at times. After being DX’d with ADD 1-1/2 years ago, now I understand it a bit more. I think this should be viewed as an *asset*, not a ‘weirdness’. I think if it weren’t for people like us, everything would progress in a linear fashion and those "leaps of faith" that lead to startling discoveries and inventions would not have been found (or it would have taken much longer). Unfortunately for me, my wife doesn’t share my sense of humor and I often get those cold ‘what the hell is wrong with you?’ looks… My 17 year old daughter (also ADD) loves it though – I’ll say something odd and she’ll just smile and say "you’re just too weird, Dad….I love you".  :-)

Twittering One! It’s a delight to see you singing your song; your voice in full, rich, creative, melodious bloom. Godess, Twittering One  …   Lady mistress of the canted perspective pitch! Fast balls … Curve balls …… Screwballs … Slow balls … Hard balls … Goof balls … Knuckle balls …   Putting the right spin  … Getting the proper English on it  … I never asked, before  …   Are you a wicked snooker/billiards/pool player ?   I am terrible at it. ( I.E. whatever the answer … It infers ??? Other than inferring the answer itself, eh. ) So many sorts of pitches and spins  …   You really are superb at it.  IMO, it’s all you!  .. I know of nobody finer.  "Methinks" it is a shame that others can’t see you for who you are, more easily.  <sigh If they could so do; it’s would be all the easier for them to admire and appreciate your artisanship!    .. to ‘understand’; to accept; to make use of …    the product that you freely offer to the society that you are a part of. Keep well, Twittering One.   ….Look after yourself, eh? Cordially, RL

I remember telling my "Math for Liberal Arts" teacher once that I understood that she was attempting to teach her students to "think outside the box" (because the first chapter was "creative problem solving"—IMO, the most fun chapter of the book….questions such as "Is there a Fourth of July in England?")  I told her that while I realized that most people have difficulty thinking outside of the box, the members of my family do not…we tend to not only "think outside of the box," we tend to ask, "What box???? Nobody even told us there was supposed to be a box!!!!" <BG — Buny " Nobody realizes that some people expend tremendous energy merely to be normal." ~ Albert Camus

Here is another example: I was thinking what sort of weird things you could do if you were very wealthy.  I am not talking about the good deeds that we would all like to do.  I am also not talking about the nice treats you might buy for yourself, your friends or family but something different in a warped way. What if you sent small packets of $10,000 to various people through regular mail?  It might be interesting to see if the packets became lost in the mail or not.  It might be interesting to see what people did with the money.  Perhaps it might be better if it was a million dollars. I actually would find this a funny experiment but I doubt others will find it amusing  with me. Then I thought, what could you do with a sack of cash that fell off a truck in front of you as bandits were fleeing?   If you heard that the money was marked and the serial numbers were recorded, it might be nice to: – send out packets of cash in brown unmarked envelopes to people you don’t like. It might be interesting if some of these packets were stolen by corrupt postal employees too. Anyone else have any thoughts about this type of thing? If I  keep this up, I will be right up there with RL. Best wishes, – Vic
