And I wasn't referring to MY argument being funny, just to supporting decently formed funny arguments in general.

And, while we're on the topic, #76 I am not sure I accept your apology ;) (Read her posts in earlier listings before anyone gets their panties in a knot. I know she'll get it). Finally, #97 you're right. No more whining. The hoodie sucks. WTF is the purpose of a wrap that doesn't cover 95% of your body?

Pair Stewey's voice up with Say What Guy and you have the most perfect Regretsy response possible! @ #85: Funny, but no. I am pretty sure I managed not to call anyone pathetic or encourage people to jump off a bridge. That's my point... too much lame grade school name calling and not enough - as #97 wisely points out - sticking to the point. I like to stir up shit by NOT being a clone of everyone else's responses. @ #78: Too Funny! Pair Stewey’s voice up with Say What Guy and you have the most perfect Regretsy response possible!

The style is used successfully by many black people, who have that very kinky hair and don't want to use heavy-duty chemical straighteners. And often it's used unsuccessfully by white hippy earthy types who don't wash enough. The dirty connotation probably comes in there. Not that all white dread wearers are dirty, it's just enough to be noticed as a trend. Dreads can work very well on some people, and they can be maintained for cleanliness.
