Is snark an acceptable substitute for wit? Have people become so morally and intellectually bankrupt, that they have no use left for sincerity?

Can I be the next Gavin McGinness?

Do you have a sweet, manly beard, that makes you look like you've been preparing for a role in a Bible reenactment for a bit too long?

Snark? What is that?

It's a kind of sardonic, ironically detached form of humour. Wait, were you being snarky there?

I can only take so much snark myself.  I appreciate sincerity when I see it.

Sincerity... oh yeah, I used to have that. Net-trolls sucked most of it out of me. I have to use it sparingly now. So...

Why do you think I play in the Adult section more, it's warmer there.  :-)

It is not.

You understand :)

I sure do.

Substitute? Probably not. Nice addition to? Sometimes, my friend, sometimes. 

Maybe there actually IS a time and a place for everything? 

A little goes a long way though.

Irony can be brilliant when the audience is in on it, like in "Much Ado About Nothing."

Cynicism I don't mind at all because most of the time I think it's realistic -

though I don't like seeing it being used rudely as an attack.

Goofy and slapstick can be good fun.

Sarcasm is sport to some, but not to me. Mockery and sniping stinks - I find it sick, not funny.

Real wit is a great talent.

Regretfully, I'm not very good at humour. Once in a rare while I succeed at it. When that happens I feel so ridiculously chuffed it's not funny. If I were a dog at that moment I'd being bouncing all over the place with ecstasy.

That it does and in those rare moments when I've received it, I've tried my level best to reciprocate. I do prefer it, but I can take opposite as well. Keeps us sharp, you know :)

LOL!  Only if you use caramel ;-) ;-)
