I think I sort of subliminized (?) other potential addictions to a chatological humor addiction. I guess there are worse things to be obsessed about than an online humor chat.
Speaking of addictions and the like, I'm not sure if this is exactly relevant, but I have a friend that has what I call an "entertainment addiction." He can't get through an entire weekend without some form of entertainment. Not social interaction, but entertainment specifically, requiring a performance, an admission ticket, a seat in the audience, etc. This can be a movie, play, concert, etc. but hanging out with friends at a bar or whatever or renting a movie doesn't qualify. I seriously think he goes through withdrawal if he doesn't have his entertainment fix at some point in the weekend. I guess he decided he wasn't going to forgo any opportunity to have a cultural experience, and if his friends don't want to join him he will go alone rather than hang out with friends and not go. Kind of quirky, but he is never at a loss for things to do and he certainly would stop to enjoy a Joshua Bell concert even if he didn't know who it was, I'm sure. --- In [email protected], "Amy" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Here, Here!! > > I've printed the Joshua Bell story, and keep it on my desk.
