The dissection of a stupid joke

I certainly hope not... I would not what to have your taste in music.

-Erik-

Didn't see the wink, huh? I put a couple of more in my original post just in case.

-Erik-

I saw the wink. I just don't get the remark, whether it was serious or not (and I know it wasn't serious). I mean it's not that I'm offended or hurt or anything.
I just miss the connection.

It's like I say "I hate green peas", and you saying "well, I'm glad I don't have your taste, because I love green peas". It's not actually a counterpoint.
If you'd actually have my taste, you wouldn't like green peas either, so it's not actually something to be glad or unglad about, as you wouldn't mind not liking green peas if you'd have my taste.
That's all I meant.

Buddy, do you overreact to EVERYTHING?

I simply say I don't get what you're saying. If it's a joke, I don't get the joke (however many winks you add)!
And that's fine. I'm happy to shrug it off and move on. I was just trying to explain what it was I didn't understand. Surely that's not an overanalysis? (It may be construed as an analysis of my own confusion, but that's only to try and not befuddle the reader. I like to explain what I mean. Avoids confusion. )

I am more surprised by your reaction to tell you the truth Erik, i am not sure why you got it like that whilst i am positively sure on the other side that Martijn didn't mean anything bitter by it. The p.m road is what i'd advice now though for the topic not to be screwed further.

IT WAS A STUPID JOKE!!!! A FRIGGIN' JOKE.

Ok, it was a bad one... but I mean... come on already!

-Erik-

It wouldn't, as when you would have my taste you wouldn't mind these scores not being there.



Buddy, I already wrote: "I'm happy to shrug it off and move on", so yeah...you did waste your time! . But that's OK. Better here than anywhere else, right?

Anyway, I'm still going through my database.
It's actually quite a lot of work: it's not like I could easily pick a "best score per year", so I'm compiling top 5s per year...which is freaking hard in itself... let alone that those still have to be condensed into a decade's top ten!

Man, talk about a waste of time! I'll never be able to explain why I'm doing this to anyone not into score collecting! But hey, anything for another cool thread (and we're bound to go off-topic again a zillion times before this thread is full... it's just the way of things... ).

So...to be continued!

OK. here we go: top 5 shortlist per year (and it's been hard cutting some favourites out in preference of others! )
