Boba Rhett Posted October 18, 2002 Share Posted October 18, 2002 The floating orb, people. The floating orb! Find your floating orb. Be careful not to swallow any marbles when trying to find your humor orb. They are often mistaken as H-orbs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joke especially denotes an amusing story with a punch line at the end: told jokes at the party. Jest suggests frolicsome humor: amusing jests that defused the tense situation.

Dagobahn Eagle Posted October 18, 2002 Share Posted October 18, 2002 Well, initially there was no linked address or no header to explain this was writen by someone else, and given Ackbar's previous exploits, it was assumed he was merely complaining again. Ditto. And now, Rhett, it's my turn to point out the difference between LAUGH and LECTURE . I partly understood it was a joke, but I still posted this stuff. Guess I've got too much spare time.
