So, isn't smashing them "a nice alternative"? <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/silly.gif" alt="" />
I think it also depends on your sense of humor.
It's not the single post that makes it so funny it's the build up of posts that make it so funny. For example: Ddraigfyre starts off with something somewhat serious, but Palahn twists it into something funny, but it's only funny if you know where he's going. Then Aliana or Stone follows Palahn and twists it even more. Which in turn, sometimes perturbs Ddraigfyre, but that is the humor of it all.
