The life of a modern left-handed democrat.
Post-GEPA humor and "Napoleon Dynamite" mode
Published on March 9, 2005 By NJforever In Misc
Apparently, I'm funny. I can conjure up some big laughs whilst at school. My day in laughs begins in homeroom, or in the past few days GEPA homeroom (GEPA is a standardized test; ugh). When we finish, we can pretty much talk until lunch. There is a bloc of 4 people in the top right-hand corner from the back of the room that talks in homeroom and after GEPA which I am a part of. Besides me, it consists of (I'm just going to use the first letter here) T, C, and K. Here's a snippet of conversation from a day ago:

Me: Well, if your getting technical, a nuclear MISSILE can be launched anywhere, not a nuclear warhead.
C: Yeah, a nuclear warhead you'd have to send through the mail or something.
Me: The mail?! Yeah, I'm sure that's how it works. "Hm, let's see, junk mail, junk mail, junk mail, oh nuclear warhead! I ordered this weeks ago!"

Memories fading, I know that isn't really a gem, but it is the clearest in my memory as it was towards the end. After that my comedy is pretty much limited to a sarcastic comment now and then, possibly a little physical when I 'wig out.' But then comes the bus ride home. That's where I check sanity at the door and enter 'Napoleon Dynamite mode.' 'Napoleon Dynamite mode' is when I do "whatever I feel like doing! God!" It includes a mix of physical with a complete disregard for making an ass of myself. There are no rules in 'Napoleon Dynamite mode,' not even the 'There are no rules' rule. Consistently used phrases include, but are not limited to:
"Why should I?"
"(moving head while not moving shoulders)"
and my personal favorite:
"HOW DO YOU LIKE ME NOW!!!!???"

Then sanity returns after a brief walk home. My humor is largely confined to the sarcastic comments for the rest of the day. I believe that is my best area of humor. But only time shall tell (or not, it don't matter none to me, long as SOMEONE laughs).

By the way, the bus stuff is largely just with my friend on the bus, though sometimes I'm a bit hard to ignore by others.

Well, it all depends on who you are telling your 'jokes' to. If you were telling them to sane, normal humans, I doubt there'd be much laughter. But then again, I don't think you know any sane, normal humans (besides myself)!

You have more than intelligence and humor. You have a humorous and intelligent friend!

Wow....I actually have no sarcastic comment! Congrats Mod, few people can do that! How about I call you both humorous and intelligent and leave it at that (I'd be lying on both counts, but whatever )
