TSR 'Wit' Society

And so it begins: I, Self-Esteemed Founding Member, hereby proclaim the official TSR 'Wit' Society to have come into effect. I shall of course make use of this opportunity to relinquish all claims of superiority that are anything other than patently self-evident; I do this in accordance with my peerless humility, not to mention boundless and omnibenevolent wisdom.

But enough modesty: this thread will serve as a proving ground for would-be affiliates. They must engage in an epic contest of comebacks to which we, the Mutually-Esteemed Brethren shall bear witness, and after a protracted period during which their manifold defects are exposed to all and sundry for excoriation with as much proverbial 'salt' as we can muster, one of but two outcomes must eventuate: either they are inducted; or, failing that, they may elect to self-euthanise in the manner of our choosing. (I personally favour razor-wire, but of course such matters are as ever open to interpretation/innovation/imagination: gratuitous and unwarranted 'neg-repping' may also be considered.)

Click here to join. Once inducted, you are thenceforth free to include an appropriate acknowledgement in your signature; and remember the eternal maxim: 'Equal discrimination; for all!'

Someone needs to start of some kind of mud-slinging extravaganza to allow the true wit of prospective members to shine through in their scathing rebuffs, etc.

That is indeed the idea. One may wonder what the standards, what the criteria are to gain access to such a group. Rest assured, the standards of the society are very high. We are not ones for allowing access to any of the riff-raff you usually find involved in the sex-threads; on the contrary, we will pride ourselves on being substantially more high-brow.

Now, if you'll excuse me, I'm off to watch Hollyoaks, whilst texting.

It would seem that the rabble consider themselves unworthy. And, rightly so.

And so, it begins. I, Self-Esteemed Founding Member, hereby proclaim the official TSR 'Wit' Society to have come into effect. Of course, I shall hereby make use of this opportunity to relinquish and and all claims of superiority which deign to be anything less than patently self-evident. I do this, in accordance with my peerless humility; not to mention, boundless and omnibenevolent wisdom.

But, enough modesty: this thread will serve as a proving ground, for would-be associates. They must engage in an epic duel of comebacks, to which we, the Mutually-Esteemed Brethren, shall bear witness. After a prolonged period, during which their manifold defects will be exposed to all and sundry for the purpose of rubbing with as much salt as we can muster, one of two outcomes will befall them: either, they are accepted; or, if not, they may subsequently proceed to self-euthanise in a manner of our choosing. Naturally, I characteristically espouse razor wire; but of course, such prerogatives are, as ever, open to innovation/interpretation/suggestion: gratuitous and unwarranted neg' repping may also be considered.

Once inaugurated, you are thenceforth free to include an appropriate acknowledgement, in your sig'. And remember, the immortal slogan: "Equal discrimination, for all"!

A quality posessed by those in the wit society, by the very definition of the society.

Any more questions?

When gossip_girl watches 'Have I Got News For You', and fails to laugh. That, my friend, is 'wit'.

It may also be defined in terms of what Mark Lamarr isn't.
