with some of the posts we get here, sometimes I've spat coffee over the monitor... no I haven't that would have been physically impossible because I was actually rolling around the floor laughing my ass off at the time, no my mistake that was metaphysical too. But when I do this  I really do look like that, except with hair. and a beard  but no glasses  or fake slipknot masks  I don't wear white gloves either

I rarely laugh when watching comedy or reading funny stuff ... must me my introvert personality. But when I'm together with other people in an audience I join them laughing.

It does happen that I really laugh out loud, but usually it's more of a chuckle or a smirk.

First time I saw lol in a reply (circa 1994 if memory serves) I thought the person was reclining in an indolent or relaxed manner; that rofl meant they were barking like a dog and omg implied they were meditating (a la The Glorious Omg Riff) and wished to be left alone - ah, the joys of dyslexia. Happy days. ------------- What? |

Best dyslexia slip, ever.
It depends. If I've got some instant messenger open and type 'lol', it's only because I have nothing better to say. When I type it on PA, I'm usually just making fun of something, a la

If I actually laugh, I'll put any number of laughing smileys, based on the degree of the laugh. In fact, I use the laughing smileys for most forms of smirking or other expressions of bemusement. I rarely use LOL except in a mocking tone. ------------- http://soundcloud.com/drewagler" rel="nofollow - My soundcloud. Please give feedback if you want! |
