silly humor - post 'em here! [warning some NSFW and adult content]
wraith808:
Hmmm... seems we need a definition of silly humor. :P
Some people (not me you understand) might suggest that there is humor found in many places, and if this was merely the humor thread, then all sorts of things might be at home here. But when you add 'silly' in front of it, that makes it quite a bit better defined, and some humor is not at home in such a thread.

I think pretty much you can open any news site, scan down the page, and find something obscenely silly. Or, perhaps rather it's more that quite a few of the people here are old enough to remember a bygone age when what you read in the news today would have been considered silly material for Saturday Night Live or some other comedy show.
Here's a made up title for an actual news story that I saw yesterday:
* Police inform couple of son's murder and shoot their dog
Got a bit of work to get done, but I'll post a bit more insanity later. :D
