So.
Ive had a few people email me asking whats up with all of the mom jokes and
the references to my sainted mother here on LUGNET.
Well, now that I have a camera again--which is itself a story for another
time--I thought Id let the folks that werent in Portland see the escalation
that caused all of this.
Keith Goldman and I had been trading mom jokes for a long time now, and at BF
PDX, I decided to up the ante:
For the uninitiated, this is my nametag from Portland. Its standard form to
put where youre from and your affiliation on the red and blue bricks, but
thats kind of boring--hence the idea to squeeze in a mom joke.
Well of course Keith loved it, but in the process, I had to explain to a lot of
other folks that I didnt actually hate Keith. I told people that mom jokes are
one of the higher forms of comedy (as I said at PDX, I like mom jokes almost as
much as I like Geoff Grays mom).
Anyway, this meant it was open season on mom jokes that weekend. From opening
ceremonies on, there was a steady stream of them (I think Keith mentioned that
it was like opening Pandoras mothers box. Or maybe I mentioned that. Who
knows, we were drinking a lot).
I hope that clears things up for everyone, and Im sure that others can chime in
with their favorites of the weekend if further explanation or more examples are
needed.
