Years and years ago, when I first began posting on the Internet, including FR, CNN, and other boards, I was a bit, well, let's say, unaware of the effect my strange sense of humor had on others. Of course I knew it was over the top and harmless, but I just couldn't understand why other people didn't have that figured out! I like non-sequiturs, absurdism, and Pythonesque humor, and, frankly, when I want to play rough, I can do that, too. It drove people crazy!Me too.
Except for the part about the multiple felony convictions.
We differ there.

It’s not so late, and I’m not so sober. (But I’m not drunk, either.)
I’m sitting at 53 Ann, a bar on Ann Street in lower Manhattan.
We’re doing karaoke, and havin’ a blast!
Anyone out there wanna suggest a song for me to sing?

Someone even registered a new account with the screenname, "Free Silly, You Bastards!" which I think is still around, and makes me laugh out loud whenever I think of it.
That is funny as hell! I am cracking up.

I went on one karaoke date, right before I met my husband. It’s a long story that involves a guy who I used to babysit singing to me “Unbreak My Heart,” “Hotel California,” and (for a change of pace) “In the Ghetto.”
I have never been so horrified in my life.
So the moral of the story is, don’t sing any of those, or your date will dump you next week and marry the guy she meets over the weekend.

Well, you are Silly.
Welcome back.
And my screen name has absolutely nothing to do with Rush.

Oh, yes they were! Gotta find some archived screen shots of those... and the Free Silly campaign memes.
Can you believe it, after all these years, it wasn’t until right this moment that I made the connection between Free Silly and Free Willy! Funny!
