I saw in another thread where someone said
some of these folks around here wouldn't know fun if it jumped up and bite 'em on the ass

so I thought I'd ask. What's your idea of fun??

These are a few of my favorite things:

My husband cracks me the heck up and so do my kids. Doing anything with my kids that makes them smile.

When something totally makes me laugh my a$$ off. Usually it's the peeps at the VT and some BN personalities as well. Telling dirty jokes is fun. So is making fun of other people...as long as they make fun of me back (usually not a problem).

It's fun when people can take a joke, get sarcasm...

Gettin' some. :wench:

Drankin.

Laughing at fart sounds is fun too.


I don't like it when people harsh my mellow.

It's fun to cut and paste articles on the internet all day.

Anything that makes me laugh ....

however - my idea of fun is different to other peoples idea of fun - we are all different with different values, so ....

(many a joke has backfired!)

Here's what Webster has to say;

MAIN ENTRY: fun
PRONUNCIATION: f&n
FUNCTION: noun
ETYMOLOGY: English dialect fun to hoax, perhaps alteration of Middle English fonnen, from fonne dupe

DEFINITIONS:
1 : what provides amusement or enjoyment; specifically : playful often boisterous action or speech <full of fun>
2 : a mood for finding or making amusement <all in fun>
3 a : AMUSEMENT, ENJOYMENT <sickness takes all the fun out of life>
3 b : derisive jest : SPORT, RIDICULE <a figure of fun>
4 : violent or excited activity or argument <let a snake loose in the classroom; then the fun began>

SYNONYMS:
FUN, JEST, SPORT, GAME, PLAY mean action or speech that provides amusement or arouses laughter.
FUN usually implies laughter or gaiety but may imply merely a lack of serious or ulterior purpose <played cards just for fun>.
JEST implies lack of earnestness in what is said or done and may suggest a hoaxing or teasing <hurt by remarks said only in jest>.
SPORT applies especially to the arousing of laughter against someone <teasing begun in sport led to anger>.
GAME is close to SPORT, and often stresses mischievous or malicious fun <made game of their poor relations>.
PLAY stresses the opposition to earnest without implying malice or mischief <pretended to strangle his brother in play>.

I'm sure it will be an enormous disappointment... But I've gotten shot glasses from 48 of the 50 states and Hawaii is one of the two I'm missing.. So, basically, I'm just going for the shot glass! :lol: :lol:

<<---- also checking for bite marks......

what I think is fun would send some of you screaming into the night, and vice versa..... :D

Anyone wanna go for a five mile hike to the most desolate spot on Oahu on a 95 degree July day, where there's no cell phone service, no water, no shade, and an even chance your car will get broken into while you're gone? (leave the car open, unlocked, and empty...) One of my favorite things to do on the planet!!!!!!!!!! :D :D :D

(btw, if you watch "LOST" on ABC you can see this spot.... it's the big ridge and point in the background on the beach crash scene set.... :D )
