Grrrr.

Trying to be funny can be very frustrating - sometimes you hafta choose between a joke that is more clever/esoteric for the 5% that will get it, and when they get it it will be laugh-out-loud funny, but leaving the other 95% shrugging their shoulders; and using a less-clever joke everyone WILL get, but it won't hit as hard. For instance, on THIS POST I wanted to use Teddy Who? instead of the headline I did use. But after a few minutes of agonizing I wasn't sure enough people would get the tone of it, so I went with the spell-it-out headline instead. Which everyone would get, but it would be about 10% as funny. And now I'm pissed cause I should've gone with that one. But I didn't. Fuck.
