Re: new topic lol
I laugh out loud all the time when reading this board. If you don't then you don't have much of a sense of humor. It's good to laugh...relieves a lot of stress. I always have a good time at work because we are always making jokes or messing with customers to make the night go by. I try not to respond on here with "lol" or anything similar but sometimes there just isn't anything more to say but you want to recognize the person for brightening your day.

The problem is people use it for things that aren't even remotely funny.

How about saying "you brightened my day"?cardsfansince82 wrote:I laugh out loud all the time when reading this board. If you don't then you don't have much of a sense of humor.

Honestly, I almost never laugh out loud when reading something on the internet by myself. The things that make me laugh out loud are watching things that people actually do, humorous expressions that people make in certain circumstances, practical jokes unfolding, etc. Words on paper (or a computer monitor) can make me smile, but laughing out loud is a little extreme.

especially when they LOL to something they said themselves. case in point, here is an excerpt from one of Bernie's blogs...stlouie_lipp wrote:The problem is people use it for things that aren't even remotely funny.

Also, my roommates (or at least the one in the room text to me) constantly comments on how he'll hear me laughing out of the blue. A lot of times it will just be from stuff I read on a message board. Occasionally I'll show them what I read and then just read it and have a stoic expression on their face and ask, "what's so funny?"
And I do agree with the notion that "lol" became trite long ago.
