1) Women "know" the "move". 2) There are no Ryan Steakhouse restaurants in PA. But I swear to pete if Hal isn't telling the truth. Back in Arkansas, my ex...
Okay, well I've had some concerns raised about language so instead of "policing" individuals, I'm just going to remind everyone to star out words like sh*t,...
I appreciate your warning but wouldn't it be better for ALL to forget these 4 letter words totally? I'd hate to have my 10 year old granddaughter siting...

That's a good point Cy. It really *isn't* necessary to use four letter words to write comedy at all. I'm in the unfortunate position of wanting to balance...
A better idea might be to ask YAHOO how they feel about the use of 4 letter words. I believe their rules are very much against some of the stuff that was...

I'm pretty clear that they don't encourage the use of four letter words, hence the creation of the rules the way they exist now. What I mean by accommodating...
If Hal Burton Jr. is a ventriloquist and his idea of comedy is the post he sent recently to this List I'd hate to be in the audience when he performs. ...

I don't have any reason to believe that he's a ventriloquist Cy... I think he's simply a comedy writer. The list is for all types of comedy writers including...
Once again I tried right clicking on your message on the INBOX but I see it's going to the List. You mention Mr. Burton may not be a ventriloquist, but simply...

The default for the list is set to reply to the list. If people want to e-mail each other privately then they may do so. The easiest way, in my experience,...
Okay, I've found the setting that Cy mentioned and I've changed the default reply-to to "sender". This means that to reply to the list you can reply-all or...

... It seems a bit extreme to give up on comedy writing just because the so-called "four letter" words. Couldn't you just leave the group? Also, why do people...
Please read posts carefully guys! Let me restate - for the record - that while blue material CAN be very funny, I am personally not terribly impressed by the...
My understanding is that the expression "four letter words" refers to words that are considered offensive regardless of their actual length. But you raise...
Personally I don't think you can compare what some of the comedians like Lenny Bruce did with stuff that's posted on an Internet List. People weren't taking...
