Facetious icon

[fancytalk]

I think I need one.
I seem to make comments that, I guess, others think I really am serious. Thus feeling the need to comment back to me why they think my comment is fucked up flawed.
Oh, these are non-friends list people, so before anyone starts thinking "what did I say?", it's none of you.

I am known for this kind of stuff. I do it all the time. I can and will tell you anything with a straight face and not mean a word of it. OK, that sounds bad because I don't make a habit of telling lies.¹ For example, I have a friend Kim who had pink hair all during college. We were in a pottery shop at the flea market when the shop owner started commenting on Kim's hair. She asked if it was her natural color. OK, we should all know that pink hair doesn't come naturally. But I couldn't resist and stated without an ounce of laughter "it is, isn't it great?" So yeah, I make remarks that should just be taken in jest. Now I've got to go find a good icon that makes that statement loud and clear.

I know exactly what you mean! I call them humourous lies.

My first one was when I was 4 years old. I don't remember, but parents do/did. I came home from a friends' birthday party and had my parents convinced and amazed by the magician who pulled a rabbit out of his hat at the party and then made it fly around the room. They even rang his parents to find out who this great magician was.

I just enjoy making things up and seeing how ludicrous I can make the story and still have people believe it. I always tell them the "truth" though, partly out of guilt and partly, ok, largely, to gloat ;)

Exactly! And most of the time, the stuff is so ludricous that you wonder how anyone would ever believe you. But your friends never do and laugh at you because you're so silly.
