There are sites for us, but they are all named after Walter Brennan - Walter's One-Liners, Brennan's Buffoonery, Walter's Witticisms, Amos McCoy Antics, etc. Check out McSweeneys, the No 1 humor site in America and see if you can figure out what the hell they're talking about!Perry Blockhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13439590071776264237noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4892510436199255267.post-82260372488292224772018-08-07T14:33:29.916-04:002018-08-07T14:33:29.916-04:00Once you figure this one out let the rest of us in...Once you figure this one out let the rest of us in the joke. I agree that people's perception of humor change over time. In some cases, I think it's more like erosian than evolution. Fortunately for us, there are more boomers out there today than any other generation. Our group is bulging like Chris Christie's waistline. That's the demographic who "gets" and appreciates our brand of humor and our references to things in the past that Millenials wouldn't understand.<br /><br />I find that I'm more effective (and funnier) writing like a four-year-old. At least that's what the other old geezers tell me.Russell Gayerhttp://www.russellgayer.com/noreply@blogger.com
