A Little Humor

[Patrick_Mucci]

This is dedicated to TEPaul, David Moriarty, Mike Cirba and Tom Macwood.

There's a Monastery populated by 85 monks.
To get into the Monastery, each monk must take the vow of  "Silence"

The only exception is that once a year, at New Year's Day dinner, one monk may speak.
However, he must be very brief.

At one New Year's Day dinner, Brother Frank is designated to speak after dinner.
He rises and faces the other 84 monks and says:
"The bread is too hard"
Then, sits down.

A year goes by.
It's New Year's Day dinner and Brother Donald has been designated to speak after dinner.
He rises and faces the other 84 monks and says:
"The bread is too soft"
Then, sits down.

Another year goes by.
It's New Year's Day dinner and Brother Luke has been designated to speak after dinner.
He rises and faces the other 84 monks and says:
"I'm quiting the Order and leaving the Monastery, there's too much bickering."

Patrick,

I think that is the same monastery where they had been hand copying the bible for centuries.  One monk realizes that this might lead to errors, and dissappears into the crypts for a few weeks to research the original volume they had started copying from hundreds of years before.

He emerged in tears, unconsoable and wailing,  "The word was "Celebrate"  We monks are supposed to celebrate!"

  Bad spelling can affect your life negatively. Nice post Jeff.

There's a Twilight Zone episode, "The Silence" , where one guy bets another guy 500k that he cant refrain from saying a single word for a whole year...the  guy agrees, and he has to spend the year in an enclosed glassed off area so he can be watched..

well, the year ends, the guy comes out and sticks out his had for his 500k...the other guys says "I have no money, i lost it all"...the other guy doesnt talk, he starts writing a note...the other club members also present in the  room wonder what the hell is going on....the notes says "I knew i couldnt keep win the bet...so i had my vocal cords cut before i entered the glass room!"

[Mike Cirba]

Ahh, Patrick, you really didn't need to dedicate this thread to me, but i am truly touched.

I think the other three are a little touched too, truth be told.

Yup...that's about the funniest thing I've seen today.  Funny thing, that one.

Anthony, were they in the habit?

Old Italian guy goes into the confessional and says: "forgive me father for I have sinned...When the Nazi's conqueresd Italy, a beautiful Jewish girl asked if she could hide in my attic and I let her." The priest says, "that is alright my son, you did a good thing!" He replied, "Well father, I told her that in exchange for rent and food, she had to give me sex whenever I wanted it..."   The priest replies, "oh, that is pretty bad,  but at least your underlying motive was to do a good thing, God will understand. Say ten Hail Marys and an Act of Contrition."  The man says "Thank you father, that is such a relief. By the way, do I have to tell her that the war is over?"

I heard a good gag yesterday: "A woman at work asked me for an example of a double entendre, so I gave her one."

Brilliant.

That video is a tad scary in the way that it illustrates the going on's here at GCA.com, but at the same time sad in the way that someone actually took the time to write and compose a video which in part knocks participants, "new" and "old' like.   

[Patrick_Mucci]

Bozos,

I didn't post the joke as an invite to others to post their jokes.

This joke was site and participant specific, in fact, I named the four (4) parties that I dedicated the joke to.

I"ve removed the skit since others may view it in a context that differs from my own.

There's nothing wrong with bickering.
Passionate, heated, contentious debate enhances this site and the discovery process.

It's the personalizing that poisons the well.

As I've posted before, I LIKE all of the parties involved.
But, they've all engaged in "personalizing", although Mike Cirba may be the exception.

While all of your Mothers may have worn Army boots, please, cease with nasty personal/character attacks.
It demeans you and the site in general.

Let's fight, but, let's debate, argue and fight according to the Marquess of Queensbury rules.

The primary message in the video was that everyone on GCA.com, new and old alike (and by name), are idiots and do nothing but either look for access or argue about Merion. I find that ironic considering the video came from particpants of the lamest, even more circle jerk verison of GCA, "Max's Lounge." Perhaps Tomy N. and his gang are surprised how little their contubutions are missed here?

It's fine that he and his buddies don't want to participate here anymore and that somehow their ideas and writing are more deserving of a private website, but it's sad when it's participants spend a good deal of time putting together a video ragging on this site as if they have nothing better to do. Again, what's more pathetic: looking for access and argueing over Merion, or obsessing over other people looking for access and argueing over Merion?

[Bill Brightly]

What I want to know is how a guy who can't even post a photo on this website came up with that video...

Best regards,

Bozo #3

Pat,
I respectfully disagree. Tommy's contributions to this website were among the finest it's ever seen. I for one miss them here a lot and I'd bet I'm not alone.

The primary message I got was humour.  If guys like Tom P want to carry on as they have the least they can expect is to have people take the piss.

FBD:

I just used the GCA search funtion above and couldn't find anything of note from Tommy in the archives.

[Mike Cirba]

I just watched the video.   Now that's funny!  

A parody of personal attacks that spends over six minutes making personal attacks.

Oh, I forgot there is another minute or two interspersed with rollicking, 1st grade humor about "scratching your balls".  

I also love how they spend almost the entire video time attacking Philadelphians on GCA as some sort of tightly-knit "mafia", while their own website is largely controlled by a tight-knit group of west-coasters, Californians specifically.    And I couldn't get it...do they want Tom Paul to host them at Pine Valley and/or Merion or not?  

Seems ironic on the face of it, considering the fact that Tom Paul did indeed provide access to those courses to those who now throw stones at him.   Sad, sad, sad...

I guess no good deed goes unpunished.

Regardless of who it is making fun of or regardless of who actually made it...it's not funny or well written, and humor is the last thing I found when watching the video.

Pat -

What are you talking about? What's the context in which it's a good idea to post a video in which friends of mine are referred to as "scum" and "fucking douchebags"?

[Marty Bonnar]

9-page circle jerks do nothing but harm for the reputation of this website. I assume it's finally been pulled?

This place is public. What those guys do over at Tommy's place is their business.

FBD.

[Mike Cirba]

Marty,

You know I love you and your contributions, but at least the nine-page circle jerk was talking about disagreements of architectural history of an important course.

We've had similar conflagrations and contentious nine-page circle jerks over Michelle Wie, Cheater Lines, walking-versus-riding and other non-architectural issues, so I'm not sure why anyone not interested in the topic even needs to look in?

Topics that don't interest me I ignore...I'm not sure why that's so difficult for some.

[JESII]

I always thought the 'che' in douchebag was smooth like shooshing, not choppy like she did it...

Alot of panties in a bunch all over this place...

[Marty Bonnar]

Mike,
you know I love ya right back
but
what may have started as a perfectly decent architectural debate descended way too quickly into stalemate bickering of no value to us, our favourite subject or anyone looking in.

I'm amazed it was even allowed to go so far.

FBD.
