Yeah, used to find them really annoying but now that the old fascism has emboldened the “I speak my mind, me” lot I think the Scooby Doo Tie brigade are much lower on the shitlist than they used to be.

Would you be happy is you were described as whacky? ‘Oh that Balonz is coming round later, he’s a whacky character you never know what your going to get’

Circa 2004 me and a couple of pals lived in fear of being accused of wackiness, got to the point where no one would dare suggest do anything except sit in my friends bedsit, people referred to us as the 4 horsemen. With hindsight it was a bit limiting

Depends who it was. Say if it was @xylo I would punch his nuts off but if it was Susan Sarandon I would be pleased.

I thought Susan Sarandon was quite a ‘random’ choice too.

the problem with people that are wacky and random and silly out of nowhere is that they are implying that life is just a big old game and everyone else should lighten up, they’re having fun so why shouldn’t everyone else be?

There’s a big difference between this and entering into some mutual temporary fun with people you know.

No that’s improved by being more crazy. Much like paving and the world of Arthur brown

Moved teams at work and received an e-mail from one of my new colleagues that said ‘welcome to the mad house lol I mean the pensions team’. There’s literally 8 people in the team and it’s almost exclusively middle-aged men with short-sleeve shirts tucked in to their trousers. There’s not even a dress code.

What if your lover described you as whacky in the bedroom? I don’t think that would be good?

That’s dodgy sounding phrasing xylo

one of my friends cracked eventually, ran across stoke park in a Burger King crown and did a wack-a-wave

Often wondered if the same people who would say things like ‘I’m mad me’ and be described as ‘proper nutters’ when I was growing up, gradually evolved into ‘bantersauruses’ (or is that different?)
