Stupid Comments in Delayed Insults

I think this may be one of those "You had to be there" moments, but I found it hysterical, so I thought I'd share it.

I went to the UNC vs. Air Force Academy basketball game tonight.  (Who I rooted for is another post altogether.)  The crowd was full of very energetic college students, eager to root on their team and boo the opposing one.

It's funny how some people really struggle to come up with insults, but still insist on giving them--the result often being ridiculously poor timing.

And Air Force player was shooting a free throw.  The crowd was booing and shouting out insults to his dog, his mother, etc., trying to get him to miss the shot.  That's normal.  But about 4 seconds after the shot, when it had already been rebounded and was heading down to the opposite basket, the brain of someone behind me FINALLY arrived at the insult they'd probably been working on for a good 15 seconds and shouted, "Your...ears are...irproportional to your face!"

I thought the insult itself was kind of funny (and original, at least to shout it out from the stands), and the timing was ridiculous, so I was already genuinely laughing.  About .5 seconds later, I started laughing much harder as I realized what he'd said.

Irproportional?  Really?!

Poor guy.  That's embarrassing enough to say that, but in the middle of hundreds of people?  (At least it was so loud not everyone heard...and it was a group of probably lesser intelligence than maybe the concert hall I was at last night...no offense...)

But then, I can kind of relate.  Whenever my EFY counselors would get down on themselves for messing something up, I'd say, "You know what?  Don't worry about it!  When you mess up, 8 people (their group of youth) know about it.  When I mess up, 800 people know about it!"

But...IRPROPORTIONAL?!  Really??

Extreme Facebook Messaging

My roommates and I are rarely all home at the same time.  There are 3 of us, 2 very busy music majors and one theatre education major.  Even in the rare happenstance that we ARE all in the house at the same time, usually one or 2 of us is asleep or something.

But tonight--a Tuesday night at 11 pm, out of all times--all 3 of us are home.  I'm sitting in my room at my power desk, and right outside my slightly open door Ashley and Amanda are sitting in the living room.  Us being 3 tech-savvy girls, we are all on our laptops...pretending to do homework.

I get onto Facebook (1st mistake) just to check something, and Ashley messages me from the living room and says, "Not only are we all home, we're all on Facebook!"  I realize what an oddity that is, and message her back with my classic response to her every time she messages me:  the robot face she taught me:   :|]

It makes her laugh out loud. I  can hear it through my open door.  Then she tries to send me back a face with the tongue sticking out but starts giggling because she messed up.  But instead of TELLING me that (she's seriously like 12 feet from me, through an open door) she writes it to me....that makes me start giggling.  Then I hear another outburst of laughter as she tries to teach Amanda how to make the robot face--but all over Facebook messaging, no verbal communication.  And Ash starts laughing again because Amanda can't find the right keys...but she WRITES to me to tell me (again).

A few minutes pass, and I hear an outburst of laughter from Ashley that doesn't stop.  Apparently they're trying to figure out how to make more smiley faces.

They both just erupted in laughter.  I guess they experimented and made the exact same smiley face at the same time.

No words.  Not one.

Sometimes this world is just plain weird to me.

But a whole lot of fun!
