Make no mistake, this does feel mean. Joey's right, trag.

Why are you all being pussies about this?

Hand to god, based on the numerous posts where Joe indicated he could have a sense of humor about his meltdown at the box office yesterday, I thought that he would respond to my OP here with a laughter emoticon, or maybe a "5/10" sort of response; I'm genuinely surprised that he is upset.

But anyway, I'm having fun so I'm gonna keep going. And I'd love if you guys did one on me, and I'll even give you some good ammunition:

1. My wife is the sole breadwinner in our house and it makes me feel like less of a man
2. My ice cream company is failing
3. I'm often characterized on RM as overly earnest, no sense of humor, etc.

Take your best shot.

You also have bizarre stances on things, like what types of sex work are noble.

I quite enjoyed your Good Will Hunting one and I LOL'd...
But I'm not sure if it makes sense... Maybe instead of Argo it should be Burt

I promise I'm not upset. I appreciate what you're doing and call it out at the same time. I never said I didn't laugh either.

Jaws

EXT: THEPLATYPUS's fishing vessel. The ocean extends to the horizon in every direction. THEPLATYPUS is manning the helm, while HOOPER surveys the ocean for any sign of the SHARK; MARTIN busies himself carving up herring and tossing the bloody chum in the ocean, in an effort to attract the SHARK.

MARTIN:
You heard him, slow ahead! -- Slow ahead!
(To himself) I can go slow ahead.
(To HOOPER) C'mon down and chum some of this shit! --

Just then MARTIN catches a glimpse of the SHARK as it swims past; his chum has finally attracted their prey. MARTIN jumps back in shock, and begins scanning the ocean surface for another glimpse of the SHARK. After a moment, it reappears, coming right up along side the vessel. The SHARK is MASSIVE, easily larger than a Buick 8.

(c.u. on MARTIN): We're gonna need a bigger bo--

THEPLATYPUS: We can just use my dad's yacht.

This one was awful. Just a rote replay of Jaws with a cheap punchline that really has nothing to do with contextual RM humor

Yeah, I'm with Reid on this one. Not your best effort, trag. Feels pretty lazy, if I'm totally honest.
