Yea, so that definently gets an award for the darkest humor ever. Don't worry, that sounds like me too.

Here's your gold star.

I wouldn't read much into that. I've used this sobriquet online for about 6 or 7 years now, when I was first reading the Ender's Game series, and it sounded neat and unusual, and it was generally an unregistered name. I've noticed more recently, however, that the competition for this name is increasing. I think there could perhaps be a Bizzaro Descolada somewhere out there. =D

Although, I will admit that there is definently at least a dash of darkness in it.

Sites like this stoke my fear and at the same time serve as an outlet for it. Thus dark comments like the one I made. Although I would call it "gallows humor" instead of dark humor.
