Has anyone ever accused you of not knowing Jack Schitt? Well fret no more. Now, you have knowledge of his entire genealogy.

That was really bad. But it's really good, because it's licensed under the "Creative Commons".

This is really bad because I saw it on a t-shirt when I was in 8th grade. And it certainly is nothing like the best of the web.

well, i won't say it's original or deep but i hadn't seen it before and got a chuckle out of it

Jack Schitt is an important character in The Eyre Affair, one of the more outrageously silly books I have read in my adult (?) life. In later books we meet his brother Brik Schitt-Hawse, who is unconscionably missing from the page linked above claiming to have his "entire" genealogy. Pfaugh.

i appreciate the honest feedback scrim and bwilliams - i'm sure your contributions are shining stars in the MeFi community.

My dad showed me this when I was 12. He got text as a fax back in the 80's.

Oh, come on, you win a few (effusive praise for your real-life work in the pregnant 13-year old thread) you lose a few (FPP based entirely on puns about scatological phrases).

You found it funny, others didn't, de gustibus non est disputatum, it's not worthwhile to imply scrim's and bwilliams's contributions are poor just because they didn't like the joke.

actually, it was somewhat tongue in cheek - bwilliam hasn't made any posts.

however, you're right orthogonality. my apologies. i think i was hoping my first post might go over a little better. apologies to scrim & bwilliam's opinions.

Unfortunately, this was also a small bit during Bottoms Up, the most mind-meltingly bad show on the Vegas Strip. (At least during 2000.) The wife and I attended the show while trying to kill 12 hours between check-out time at the hotel and our flight leaving.

I have no idea if this is a funny bit or not, since it is associated with a show that I repeated tried to wipe from my mind. Pardon me while I get the wire brush.

Mine, too! Did he also show you the one about Super High Intensity Training?

Ah, you should have seen my first post: after two Mefites requested that I re-post a comment as an FPP, I took an additional hour or so to add ten entirely new links to it, and did post it -- only to see matt delete it in response to whining. It's the internet -- sometimes people get it, sometimes they don't. It's no big deal either way.

uh... I thought it was funny... in a mild, cute way. liked the animation.

Thanks for a laugh. You win some, you lose some.

Ohh hey unixrat, I have also seen Bottoms Up. Good times indeed.

Feh. I've seen Schittier.

Just think yourselves lucky you only got an ancient and depressingly unfunny Flash cartoon - originally you would have got it in a spyware-ridden .exe.

twistedhumor.com is the old site of spyware controllers and distributors Lions Pride Enterprises. Stay well away.

bobince - will do - thank you for the heads up!

i had no idea this gag was so old. it was the first time i had seen it and with all the stress going on down here, i figured i'd share something funny.

sorry about the reactionary response. to say i've been on edge lately would be an understatement but it doesn't excuse me getting snarky.

orthogonality - i appreciate your gentle "nudge" back to civility. i've really come to like reading this site and people's comments - i think my level of sensitivity was just dialed a bit too high last night.

my next post will be better! heh - no more dated schitt.
