Serious Discordianism sounds like trouble.  We can't go having discussions without pausing to inject misplaced humor, otherwise it might turn out less than pointless.

also, somebody's going to have to explain to me the difference between LOL, LAIL, LULZ, LAWL, etc.

the most important is LULZ, that as far as i understand it, is specifically laughing *about* somebody having done or said something stupid because you (or somebody, sometimes even themselves) trolled them into it. it's a more kind of self-0wnage thingy.

the others are, i think, just variations on the classic LOL, which means Laughing Out Loud (and is, curiously enough, also the Dutch word for "fun").

[LMNO]

I use them all interchangably for "having a laugh".

I always thought LAIL was a cross between LOL and FAIL.

sort of like LULZ, but whereas LULZ implies a certain level of personal involvement, LAIL can be had by any passerby lucky enough to witness something LAIL-worthy.

I cannot believe we are fucking discussing this.

Agreed. Though I also feel that LULZ was also somewhat les light hearted than LOL. Kind of like the cackle of an evil genius in bad movies.




And oh yes, in my semi-official capacity I declare this thread is now a toolbox.
