A joke is irritating you? Someone trying to lighten your mood, make you laugh, is irritating you?

Are you sure its not something else?

9s are easy for me because at some point, a math teacher taught me how to do them on my fingers. Shame it only works with 9s...

Good pointage!

HungLikeJesus · 05-22-2008, 10:32 AM

jinx, how do you do it with your fingers?

I learned a way to remember them that was unique - can't write it out here, but it makes them so easy... searching for a link - not happening. It was something about subtract one from the number and then add whatever was necessary to make nine... 9x8 - one less than 8 =7 add 2 to equal nine. Hence the answer is 72. I dunno after looking at the link I prefer Jinx's method.

Hold you hands up in front of you side by side, start on the far left and put one finger down at a time. Putting the first finger down (X1) leaves 9 up. Putting the second finger down (X2) leaves 1 then 8 more, 3rd finger - 2 then 7 etc etc.... kwim?

Call it what you will. Clone threads didn't seem particularly funny even in the beginning. After the first dozen or so...

Sundae · 05-22-2008, 10:39 AM

S'not irritating me more than any other day, but I'm not now and have never been a fan of clone threads. Especially as interesting thread drift typical of the Cellar means I feel obliged to read them all, and usually don't get anything in return.

I'd find them much funnier if they were in a thread of their own, like Replies to the Cellar Tag Line.

Just my opinion.

Shawnee123 · 05-22-2008, 10:44 AM

But the fact is, you don't have to read them. I find many thread types completely irritating, I won't enumerate them here...but I don't admonish the thread-makers for making the thread. I can choose to not read "Why I have 39 pairs of socks and how I wash them and what color they are and how this is relevant to world peace."

I think I got you. But it would be more fun to see it in a video.

okay, I didn't see this discussion on clone threads here before I posted my thread. sorry.

too much of a bad thing, perhaps.

Shawnee123 · 05-22-2008, 11:10 AM

Sorry guys. I hope I didn't offend any of you. We all have a right to our opinions...but I get a little excited when expressing mine.

lumberjim · 05-22-2008, 11:16 AM

Cloud · 05-22-2008, 11:18 AM
