Sounds a bit like "Chico and the Man" but not quite.
I am a situational comic and I am disappointed a bit that this doesn't come across on my blog.
After going back and reading a few of my posts, it seems like I am a rather bland and depressed person. I am far from it!
I thrive in conversation when it comes to my "off" brand of humor. I can take intended meanings of conversation and give it just a slight nudge in a different direction to make it completely different but with just about the same wording.
It is also about flow and presentation style. Most of the time, these things click, depending on the audience, but sometimes they fall flat on their face. Such is the life a sit-com actor. Canned laughter and all. :)
Why am I decomposing this aspect of myself? Mainly because it is a big pile of compost in the blog.
I rarely have had the opportunity to "chat" on my blog. It is really not the right medium, and I think in general the anonymous and impersonal nature of the internet is to blame. Either that or I don't translate well into binary.
I hope glimpses of my humor come through on occasion and I often use smiley faces to convey that I am being sarcastic or not serious even though the sentence could be conveyed as being from a malicious or bad place. Either that or I am smiling as I right it and couldn't help but convey my humor with it.
That's why I enjoy going out and hanging with my friends. It allows me to spread my good cheer and bad puns like an infectious disease, only not so viral. :)
I guess the subtleties of my humor are not found in my blog voice as often as I like and I am completely devastated that anyone would ever think anything like I am a humorless hunk of coal. [Insert smiley face here]
Ok, one for the road...
:)
