I love to goof on obtuse people, and then sit back and enjoy the show.

They just keep digging and digging, and they never figure it out. Does that make me a bad person? :shrug:

1. Yeah, but you can get in trouble for that here.
I'm just sayin'.
Hi Bunny.

2. Define "goof."
Then I'll tell you.

4. What, you never watched 'Leave It to Beaver'?
Wally said "Goof on" all the time.

14. Bait 'em
Edited on Mon Oct-16-06 07:10 PM by Oeditpus Rex
It can be subtle — like, if you were among a group of strangers somewhere, you might stare out a window as if you're looking at something unusual, thereby getting them to look.

Overtly, I often say I'm gonna hang out on AOL political boards for awhile to goof on the asshats. I look for the stupidest posts and point out their stupidity with a bon mot. It's loads o' fun. :7


Edit: Yesterday there was a board to go with a story about unmarried people now out-numbering married people. I posted something like "FORCE people to get married! Not being married threatens the sanctity of marriage!"

I loved seeing how many people didn't get it. :rofl:

25. See, that first example (the window thing) isn't cool.
I've had people do that to me, then mock me for it. That usually ends up with my blood pressure skyrocketing as I choke down homicidal rage.

Baiting AOL message-board idiots, on the other hand, is acceptable.

26. My cats do that to my aunt all the time.
Yogi especially loves to do that to her. He will look up at the ceiling and keep looking long enough to get her to look. Then he'll look at her like he's laughing at her. It's fun to watch them both do that and laugh.

8. He also called Beaver a "Big Goof".
So, it was a noun as well as a verb! I am happy to see another LITB aficionado here, BTW. :hi:

11. I think I get it. You're calling someone a dork...
...in a way you think they won't pick up on.

13. Yeah, basically making fun of them to their face, and they don't
figure it out, no matter how obvious it may be.

16. Having had people try that on me a few times due to no social skills...

20. Fuck you? Wow, you weren't kidding about the social skills thing.
I've spent the past 26 years working with people with disabilities, and I do not mock anyone for something they have no control over. Sorry that you were offended. Good night.

21. Ah, see, I misinterpreted you.
I know nothing about your background. Upon getting definition of what you meant, I had an immediate flashback to middle/high school, where I got that shit (solely because of having no social skills) at least three times a week. Always pissed me off.

Should have realized a DUer wouldn't be a petty dickhead.

My apologies for the "fuck you."

Am I to presume when you "goof" someone, it's freepers and the like?

22. Thanks for understanding. I was feeling bad about hurting you.
When I goof on someone, it's the usual suspects - freepers, dickheads, fuck nozzles, and the like. :hi:

23. No problem.
So long as it's that sort of "person," it's okay.

I prefer to be a little more confrontational, but "different strokes..." and all that...

15. Or just 'goof'
"Gosh, Beav. You do that, you're gonna look like a goof."

I still sometimes say "kinda sorta" in honor of the Beav. :thumbsup:

I also recall that Chip and Ernie Douglas introduced us to "clunky."

:hi:
