10:13 AM Sri: it is just "caucus"
10:14 AM me: ok?
elaborate
Sri: it was on teh word right!
the*
me: no
i made the status message up
but tell me what you mean
10:15 AM because frankly i have no idea
Sri: well it was last week i think
me: "it's just caucus"
Sri: the word was something to do with the congress and the caucus
10:16 AM me: yeah?
Sri: just a sec...let me get the clip for u
me: wait
i don't want to watch the clip
what i want you to tell me concisely is why you didn't understand the joke
10:17 AM what i want you to do is*
10:18 AM and what i put in my status message has nothing to do with colbert
Sri: hmm j
me: it has only to do with the phrase "significant black caucus"
which refers to
Sri: k*
me: 1. the significant black caucus in the United States
10:19 AM who will potentially all vote for Barack Obama if he campaigns well enough
2. the "significant black cock" part of the phrase, which is self-explanatory (a reference to the legendary humongous genitalia of african males)
hence
10:20 AM funny
Sri: : l
10:21 AM me: the joke is risque
and hence juvenile
sorry
and ALSO juvenile
so it's a self-depracatory act too
10:22 AM telling people i'm immature
are you getting all of this
Sri:
i thought you were talking abt this

10:23 AM me: this usually makes people laugh, because they feel they're better than me and at some sub-concious level, they want to laugh at the phrase too
but it's safer to pretend to laugh at me so as not to feel guilty themselves
the analysis of humor
like i said
nothing to do with anyone else
10:24 AM or any video clip you might show me
i made this joke up myself
Sri: ok cool
me: and if other people have made the same joke, then they beat me to it
Sri:
10:25 AM me: seriously
you didn't get the joke?
Sri: nope
me: wow
you need to read some good humor books
10:26 AM or read up on what people find funny
Sri: pss...pss....i was being sarcastic
me: quite
and yet for the last 10 minutes you haven't given me any indication of such
10:27 AM if you WERE being sarcastic you'd have replied, "noooo i didn't get your awesome joke. you're too intelligent for me. i ought to go throw myself in the ocean"
THAT's sarcasm
at its basic level
10:28 AM people are usually much more sarcastic
Sri: well......i prefer my way
10:29 AM me: trust me. if you want to assume what vocal inflections put into your head when reading what you type are being heard be people on the other terminal getting the message, you're totally wrong
you need to be more expressive
but expressive in the right way
10:30 AM Sri: OK my dear brother..........i'll try to be more expressive in the future!
me: don't be like junior NTR (BLECH! i said the moron's name - i must remember to wash my fingers with bleach) and think just speaking loudly with a funny accent is all that it takes to sound funny
10:31 AM
Sri:
me: this conversation for example
VERY funny
and delightful
that's good humor
10:32 AM something which doesn't hurt anyone but makes them learn something nonetheless
10:33 AM but in telugu movies, the funny bit is usually the son going up to the father and saying "are pOraa" and "funny" music plays in the background
Sri: yup
me: and we're supposed to laugh
or the other way roung
round*
life is much much more than that
it throws all kinds of funny situations at you
one must learn to appreciate it
10:34 AM Sri: yes
me: http://borowitzreport.com/
this guy for example
EXTREMELY sarcastic and funny
but not lately
he's getting stale
10:35 AM Sri: yup....i have the link...u sent it to me
me: ages ago
yes
do you read it?
Sri: i've stopped reading his post for sometime now
me: me neither
http://www.satirewire.com/
Sri: well.....after i moved out of arl....to be precise
me: this one's timeless
10:36 AM they're all funny no matter what

10:37 AM Sri:
10:38 AM me: http://www.satirewire.com/news/july02/viagra.shtml
this in particular
10:39 AM a penis joke
it's funny because it's entirely juvenile
and the writer pretends to be oblivious to it
hence funny
10:40 AM if he were to be narrating it and then starts laughing midway and Funny music plays in the background, it's NOT FUCKING FUNNY!
I HATE TELUGU MOVIES
I'm GOING TO KILL THEM ALL!
KILL THEM!
AAAAAAAAAAH!

10:44 AM "Surprisingly, it's not the big issues, like is there one God or are there many? It's the little things," said New York City Hinjew Nathan Feldman. "Like my Hindu half acknowledges that this world is full of suffering, but my Jewish half just goes on and on about it."
